Soap Operas
Do you watch Soap Operas on tv? Which ones?

Soaps on elastomer?
I'm just curious what kind of soap you all use on elastomer toys? Most of the manufacturers suggest mild soap, but *how* mild? We use Dawn (dish soap)...

How to clean? soap or cleaner
I know some people use soap and water, some use toy cleaner, some use both. To be honest im scared of using the toy cleaner and having negative...

Not Soap Radio
Which is your favorite or what one sounds the best?

10% bleach solution.

If she just wants to clean it, not sterilize it, I think regular antibacterial soap would work too. I live in the dorms so there's no stovetop where I can boil water, except for in the communal kitchen. Yeah... I can't see myself stirring a big pot of silicone and glass dildo soup while waving hello to passing dorm-mates. All my glass and silicone toys I clean the same as I would my other, more porous toys. The 10% bleach solution that Cinnamon Chambers suggests would be the way to go if she wants to 100% sterilize it, though.

Agreed on the 10% bleach solution if she wants to sterilize (just remember to rinse with warm water after).

I use (and love) Pjur Med Clean wipes (there's a spray too). They don't contain alcohol, like many other toy wipes/cleaners, so they are safe to use on silicone. I'll just take a blurb from the description instead of restating everything:

"Certain soaps that are suitable for skin can actually break down or chemically alter some sex toy materials over time, making them unsafe. By using a cleaner like med clean, developed especially for sex toys, you can avoid this problem. Free of alcohol, it is safe for latex, rubber, silicone and other sensitive materials. Free of perfumes and scent, it is also suitable for those with sensitive skin."

They are dermatologist approved and anti-bacterial. She should look into either.

I have a question concerning bleach and its discoloring/fading effects on other products..

If I use bleach on a toy I happen to like the color of would it change the color of the toy over time after multiple bleachings?

For silicone you can use almost any soap that you'd use on yourself. I've started to favor either dishwashing detergent or shampoo, because they seem to do a good job of cutting through any lubricant residue (oil-based lubes can be a problem sometimes) and getting rid of odors, or at least covering them up. Neither of these sterilize, so you do need to boil or bleach before switching partners (unless you're fluid-bonded), and I'm more comfortable sterilizing when moving from anal to anything else just in case.

I usually use an antibacterial liquid soap on mine.

I just use whatever soap I have at the bathroom sink
