You don't have to clean your sex toys after every use, but it's a good idea to give them a thorough cleaning every once in a while. There are a few different ways to do this:

1. Cleaning with soap and water

This method is the easiest, but it's not as effective as some of the others. Make sure you use lukewarm water and unscented liquid soap or a mild antibacterial hand wash. If you're using a women sex toy made from silicone, be careful not to use any soap that contains oil or fragrance—these substances can break down the material of your toy and make it less effective.

2. Cleaning with warm water and vinegar

This approach is similar to washing with soap and water, but it uses vinegar instead of soap—and it can disinfect your toy as well! To do this, simply fill your sink with warm water (be sure not to use hot or cold water), add one part white vinegar for every four parts warm water, then soak your toy for about 15 minutes. After soaking, rinse off all visible residue with clean water and pat dry with a towel before storing away again.
