I've never thought to try putting a pouch of scented stuff in my storage case! Learn something new every day.

I have several silicone toys, and yes they can attain a scent. But I have found that if you clean it after use and air dry, it should be fine.

Now,if someone can help me rid some siligel toys of their "new toy stench", let me know. Mine are in the shed due to the stink.

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions, it's much appreciated

So, I tried bleaching the plug (I use condoms, so irritation shouldn't be a big concern) and that failed to remove the smell. I guess my next tactic should be boiling, as suggested. Unfortunately, I don't have any pots that I would be comfortable using to boil something that has come out of my ass and would subsequently use to cook food with... Is pouring boiling water into a container with the plug sufficient?

I wouldn't be afraid to use a pot to boil it.. I mean, if it disinfects the toy, then the pot is disenfected as well , right? Of course wash the toy with soap first.

I haven never had a problem with my toys retaining a noticeable smell, so I find this a bit peculiar, especially since you used a condom....

Either way, good luck! And great choice for a new toy! The Ryder is great!

instead of using a food cooking pot, try going to a target or a wal mart and purchasing a pot strictly for toys. they are inexpensive (around $10) and this gets rid of the food/toy cooking dilemma =)

Depending on the toy I do various things. First before anal play I always make sure that I am cleaned which can be done with a simple douche or soap/warm water solution. This critically helps with clean up.

The smell will always be there but can be taken away easily with cleaning directly after use, regardless of condom use. This depends following I want to add the disclaimer try *only* based on the proper cleaning of your toy. Some toys cannot be cleaned the same.

Boiling works great but is a great deal of work, I tend to give my toys a proper boiling bath twice a month if used. Make sure that you get a pot that you do not cook your spaghetti in. You will not ever want to do this. Make sure your toy can stand a boiling pot.. I've melted one before, oops. Most times you will be safe with a dish washer. I'm lazy and this is what I tend to do.

I use coffee beans near my boys in a little bag like that of a bean bag, usually you can get these at all craft stores. It will transfer a wonderful scent. You can use your favorite bean scent but you typically want beans to flower scents and petals.

Antibacterial soap, a good scrubbing right after use and never transfer a used anal toy to your partner due to infections (MRSA the biggest) so condoms are right on target! I have used shampoo and I have used dish soap and I was left with a toxic odd feeling in my ass and would never do such again. I guess it depends. Even if I scrubbed them afterwords, dried them, put them up and got them out I still had a horrific experience with shampoo and dish soap. Maybe it's different based on toy material not sure.

It will smell only if you didn't clean before hand. There isn't much residue on the silicone.

It depends what you want to do - most beasties are inactivated/dead at 180, but even then most/almost all home dishwashers don't go that high. To be assured of sterility you'd probably need a pressure cooker, but boiling for 5-10 minutes is pretty much indistinguishable from sterile, unless you live in Colorado or the Himalayas.

As long as the pot has water in it and is a reasonable thickness it will never get above 212F. Really thin pots, very hot burners, and wide, flat toy bases might be a problem, but I doubt it with silicone, since you need to get up to over 600F to have a problem. Think of how the heat moves - the pot conducts heat and it travels into the water, which never gets above boiling provided it remains at atmospheric pressure.

oh yeah...I forgot Silicone's higher melting point.

Way to bring real science in Scott!

That's exactly what I do and I've never had a problem. It helps that I'm never really that dirty to begin with.

I love the idea of the vanilla bean. Any smell that my toys have is fairly fleeting, but I love the smell of real vanilla... so sensual.
