Cleaning depends on the material, electronics and construction. Read the manufacturer guidance and do not assume an item can be submerged, boiled or exposed to a particular cleaner.

Key checks for clean sex toys safely

  • Clean at the instructed times and dry before storage.
  • Inspect surfaces, seams and seals.
  • Use appropriate barriers and fresh condoms when sharing, following sexual-health guidance.

Distinguish washable from submersible

Read the instructions for the exact material, electronics and charging arrangement. Do not infer that a product can be boiled or immersed because another item looks similar. Use the cleaning method the maker permits and take care around seams and openings.

Check after cleaning

Dry the item as instructed and inspect for damage or changes to the surface. Store clean items separately from used ones. If sharing, check suitable barrier use and replace the barrier between users; cleaning alone does not answer every question about infection prevention.

Before you book or buy

  • Clean at the instructed times and dry before storage.
  • Inspect surfaces, seams and seals.
  • Use appropriate barriers and fresh condoms when sharing, following sexual-health guidance.
