How to Clean a Vibrator?

Having a vibrator brings a whole new dimension of pleasure to your sexual life and the rest of your life. It brings a fresh breeze of positivity and convenience. We can’t even quantify using words to show how exciting the vibrator experience is – you just have to experience it on your own. Over the years, sex toy developers have created some top-of-the-range vibrators that have elevated the vibrator experience. With great pleasure comes great responsibility. There is a need to ensure that your vibrator experience is clean. We will help you do just that in this article.

The Science of Cleaning Your Vibrator

Unlike other toys, a vibrator is very “personal”. It means that there is a lot of contact between you and your pleasure provider. It is essential to ensure that before the vibrator goes on the orgasm drive, you clean it and clean it thoroughly. There are several serious reasons why having a clean vibrator is such a big deal. Some of the reasons include the following ones.

To Avoid Infections

The main reason why cleaning is an integral part of the vibrator experience is that it helps you avoid major health nightmares. One thing that is often at the back of your mind after an explosive orgasm (vibrators guarantee you these) is cleaning your sex toy. The temptation can be quite strong, and most people give in, but this is very dangerous. If the vagina or anus has been exposed to dangerous microbes, they will contaminate your sex toy. The vagina and the anus have in place several means by which they prevent breeding and infection by bacteria or other microbes. If these microbes leave the vagina with your vibrator, and you do not wash them off, chances are they will breed and multiply on your vibrator.

Using a contaminated vibrator increases your chances of contracting an infection by a huge margin, especially if you share the vibrator with a partner. HPV and herpes are some of the diseases that can be spread this way. It can be attributed to the breeding effect due to the external environment. Self-infecting yourself with an STI is terrible, and we would not wish it on anybody. Cleaning up your sex toy can help you avoid infections and keep your body in great shape. If you were looking for a reason to keep your vibrator clean, this right here should be reason enough.

Prevent Vibrator Deterioration

One thing about vibrators is that they are not cheap, especially the modern premium vibrators. It means it becomes imperative to take good care of your vibrator to avoid wear and tear. Your vagina and anus are often moist and contain a concoction of chemicals that may be hazardous to the material used to create your vibrator over time. For instance, the vagina is acidic, and using some vibrators at low pHs will result in them either rusting or being corroded. An unattractive vibrator is terrible, and a corroded vibrator also causes lots of problems for your health.

We have already highlighted that a vibrator is a personal item, and once a bond is created, you are going to hate buying a new one. Cleaning your vibrator will ensure that your relationship is long-lasting.

How to Clean Your Vibrator

The most essential thing that we have highlighted is that regardless of the circumstances, ensure that your vibrator is clean before storage. The good news is that there are multiple cleaning techniques available for vibrator enthusiasts out there. It means regardless of the situation, you can always clean your vibrator after use.

Sex Toy Wipes Method

One thing that has made the vibrator one of the most popular sex toys on the market is that you can carry it anywhere. Portability is one of the main marketing points of most modern vibrators like the bullet vibrator. It means that people can use their vibrators on the go, and they will need to clean them up after use. It means that you will need a portable cleaning method as well. Getting a tub of warm water and a block of soap might be virtually difficult in some instances. The wipes will save you that hustle easily.

Sex toy wipes are specialized wipes that are made for cleaning sex toys. They are thicker and offer a bit more moisture to provide a great cleaning. Remember, some of the “dirt” these wipes will be cleaning may be acidic or worse. Regular wipe just won’t do. They might cost slightly more than regular wipes, but trust us, they are worth every penny.

How to Do It

Using sex toy wipes is easy. All you have to do is wipe the surface of the sex toy thoroughly with a wipe and make sure you clean all the hard-to-reach areas. Once you are done with the first wipe, get a second wipe and thoroughly wipe all surfaces of the vibrator, just to be sure.

The Water and Detergent Method

It is one of the most common and also the most effective vibrator cleaning methods on this list. For this one, all you need is a small tub of warm water and detergent. For detergent, we recommend that you use the same one you use for washing your “adult area”. It will help you avoid reactions in your adult area once your vibrator comes in to contact after the wash.

The biggest fear that most people have is that their vibrators are electric, and they might be a bit reluctant or, in other instances, scared to put them directly into the water. The good news is that most vibrators are waterproof. As long as you try to guard the battery case during rinsing, your vibrator will certainly hold up and work just as normal after the wash.

We have mentioned that detergent is equally as important as warm water. One thing you would not want to do, regardless of how confident you are, is issue scented soaps or moisturizers. The scented detergents have a lot of chemicals that are not good for your vagina or anus. Besides the sweet fragrance, you are likely going to get a lot of discomfort and pain from the possible yeast infection. Just don’t do it – it is not worth it. This method will work effectively well on any vibrator regardless of the material used to make it.

How to Do It

For this method, you will need a damp cloth. Dip the damp cloth in warm water and add detergent. We recommend that you avoid submerging your vibrator into the water. Use the damp cloth to thoroughly wash the vibrator; try to guard the battery case as you do this. If your vibrator has an electric extension cord, make sure the cable does not get into contact with the water. Wash for up to a minute. Remember, we want to disinfect the vibrator for future use.

After washing, rinse thoroughly with running water. We recommend that you use warm water. Once you are done with the rinsing, make sure that you dry your vibrator thoroughly before storing it in a cool and dry place.

Spray Sex Toy Cleaners

In terms of premium sex toy cleaning techniques, it does not get more premium than spray sex toy cleaners. These spray sex toy cleaners are essentially the definition of portability in the sex toy industry. Spray sex toy cleaners are usually bottled in small containers that you can carry anywhere. The fact that the detergent can be sprayed onto the vibrator makes it one of the best delivery methods available on the sex toy cleaning scene. Couple that up with the exciting fragrances that come with spray sex toy cleaners, and you certainly have the perfect vibrator cleaning technique.

How to Do It

All you have to do is spray the sex toy cleaner on your sex toy. The liquid used in spray sex toy cleaners is a detergent. It means that it will effectively deal with the bacteria that your vibrator is likely going to get into contact with during your time of pleasure. The liquid is also quite volatile compared to water. It means that it will quickly dry off your vibrator.

Note

If you decide to go with the sex toy wiper method, we recommend that you first give your vibrator thorough water and soap clean before using it. The wipes can be a bit less effective, especially when dealing with bacteria.

The vibrator experience should bring you nothing but satisfaction and countless orgasms. A dirty vibrator brings lots of pain, discomfort, and, in the worst-case scenario, an STI. A clean vibrator will help you avoid all this. Clean your vibrator after use and orgasm and orgasm!
