How to Clean & Care for Your Male Masturbator
Proper cleaning isn't optional - it's essential. A well-maintained masturbator lasts longer, feels better, and keeps you safe. Here's everything you need to know about keeping your toy in perfect condition.
What You'll Need
- Warm water (not hot)
- Sex toy cleaner or mild antibacterial soap
- Lint-free cloth or paper towels
- Renewal powder (for TPE materials)
- Storage bag or container
Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
Step 1: Rinse Immediately
As soon as you're done, rinse the inside of the sleeve with warm running water. The sooner you do this, the easier cleaning will be. Hold it under the tap and let water flow through for 30-60 seconds.
Step 2: Apply Cleaner
Apply toy cleaner or a small amount of mild soap to both the inside and outside. Work it in gently with your fingers, making sure to reach all the textured areas inside.
Step 3: Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse completely until all soap is gone. Soap residue can irritate skin and degrade the material over time. Run water through until it comes out completely clear.
Step 4: Dry Completely
This is the step most people skip - and it's crucial. Pat the outside dry with a lint-free cloth. For the inside, you can:
- Use a rolled-up paper towel to absorb moisture
- Leave it in a well-ventilated area for several hours
- Use a fan or cool hair dryer (never hot)
The inside must be completely dry before storage.
Step 5: Apply Renewal Powder
Once completely dry, lightly dust the sleeve with renewal powder (cornstarch-based). This maintains the soft, realistic feel of the material and prevents it from becoming sticky or tacky.
Storage Tips
- Keep it separate: Don't store with other toys - materials can react
- Cool and dry: Avoid humid bathrooms or direct sunlight
- Use a storage bag: Keeps dust off and maintains material quality
- Store with the case open: Allows any residual moisture to escape
What NOT to Do
- Don't use hot water: Can warp and damage the material
- Don't use alcohol-based cleaners: Degrades TPE material
- Don't use silicone lube: Damages the sleeve over time
- Don't store wet: Promotes mould and bacterial growth
- Don't share: Even with cleaning, it's a personal item
How Often to Deep Clean
Beyond your regular post-use cleaning:
- Weekly: If you use it frequently, do a thorough clean once a week
- Before storage: If putting away for an extended period, clean and dry completely
- Before first use: Always clean a new toy before using it
Signs It's Time to Replace
Even with perfect care, materials don't last forever. Replace your masturbator if you notice:
- Persistent odour that doesn't go away with cleaning
- Visible discolouration or staining
- Tears, holes, or damage to the texture
- Sticky or tacky feel that powder doesn't fix
- Material hardening or becoming brittle
