You've got your sex toys, and you love them. But between the sweat and the lube, they can get pretty gross.

Here's what you need to know about cleaning your sex toys:

-Your hands are your first line of defense. If you have any lube or bodily fluids on your hands when you pick up a toy, it will transfer onto the toy. So be sure to wash your hands before playing with any toys!

-Don't use soap or alcohol on silicone toys. They'll break down the surface of silicone toys, making them more porous and fragile over time.

-Never boil your toys in water like a turkey! This will cause them to warp and melt over time due to high temperatures (not exactly ideal for getting you off). Instead, use hot water and mild soap—and let them air dry afterwards!
