Let’s talk about the most ubiquitous of all “woman” sex toys—the dildo. Realistic vibrating dildos are phallus-shaped sex toys meant for penetration into the vagina or the rectum. These toys have been around for centuries and have changed little in purpose and shape except in the types of materials they used. In times past, dildos could be made of polished wood, stone, marble, or glass. Nowadays synthetic materials such as plastics, silicone and even materials which feel like real skin have been used in making these sex toys. These sex toys now also contain small motors which allow the toy to vibrate for that extra “buzz”.
No matter the type of materials they are made of or whether they vibrate or not, they all require care in order to allow them to perform the function for which they were designed properly and safely. Here are some tips you can use to take care of your dildo.
No matter the type of dildo you have, you will have to keep it clean. This is not only a thing one has to do in order to make sure your toy remains in good working order but it is also a measure you should undertake to avoid contracting disease or infection. A dildo is meant to be inserted into the vagina or the anus. These parts of the body often do contain microorganisms and bacteria which can be harmful to people.
How you clean your toy depends on the type of material it is made of. For most cases, washing your toy with warm soap and water will do the trick. Wash your toy every time after you use it. If your toy has batteries or contains a small motor, make sure you take off the batteries first and do not allow the battery compartment or the part with the remote vibrator motor to get wet. Never submerge a toy which runs on batteries or electricity.
There are commercially prepared sex toy cleaners available in the market. Keep in mind however that some cleaners which can be oil-based can damage the surface of some toys made of plastic or silicone. It would be a safe bet to get something water-based in order to minimize your chances of damaging the toy.
Never keep used batteries inside your toy for extended periods of time. If you do not plan to use your dildo for an extended duration, make sure you remove the batteries before you put your toy away.
Follow these tips to ensure your toy keeps on giving you the sexual satisfaction you need for a long time.
