​It is easier than you thought. Life sometimes seems hard. There is so much to do. So many chores. Doing dishes, laundry, paying bills, EMI’s, doing house chores, repair, something always is broken which needs to be fixed, etc. Life becomes a long series of etc. Now there is one more task, after enjoying a pleasurable night, you have to wash the toys too. In the human mind, it seems like a big task. But, believe us, it is very simple.
Also, it can’t be ignored because sex toys are prone to infections than any other thing due to their penetrative ability in regions which are sensitive and internal. So proper hygiene of toys needs to be maintained and this is a careful task.
​So, the very first thing you need to do is to figure out what your sex toy(s) is made up of. Different material needs a different method for cleaning. To simplify more – there are two types of material used in sex toys – porous and non-porous.
Porous material has holes that can inhibit bacteria and fungi and what not. Elastomer/rubber sends firm, and latex is some of the examples. ABS plastic, borosilicate glass, soda-lime glass, silicone, and metals are non-porous materials which don’t allow bacterial or fungi to stick around. You can look up the packaging for finding out the kind of material your sex toy(s) is made up of. 
​So, common to both of these toys is that they should be used just after their use. This is a buzzkill but it is necessary because no time should be given to bacteria or fungi or any microorganism to grow inside them. Vagina and anus itself harbor millions of bacteria and microorganisms inside them (although they are helpful), but sometimes this can cause future complications if they are left to grow on sex toys.
Use warm water with good soap to wash toys. Also, you need to wash the toys just before using them. You might become reluctant here telling yourself that you had washed it properly after using it but it has been sometime before their next use and it might have harbored dust, dirt, or any other microorganism.
Soap should be chosen carefully. Normal dish soap is perfect as it doesn’t imbalances the pH of the vagina in the next use. Vibrators should be cleaned with a wet cloth while non-porous should be dipped in warm water. Porous sex toys should be washed in lukewarm water keeping in mind the temperature limit of the material so preventing any damage to them.
If you don’t want so much to do, there is a specific product called sex toy cleaner which is specific for a certain category of sex toys. You can look up your category of sex toy(s) and order a sex toy cleaner. The instructions are straightforward and it is so easy to use thus enabling you a safe and healthy sex toy to use.
