How often do you clean your toys?

Contributor: EdenJP EdenJP
So, this whole cleaning issue has really got me thinking. I try to clean my toys often (once a week if used that week) but sometimes I let a cleaning go in between uses. How often do you clean your toys?

I clean them after each and every use. They get covered in fluids each time and that can harbor bacteria once it's left out to dry. No way am I putting that back in my vagina! Same applies for anal or external toys - I clean them after each use.

For toys I don't use all the time, I'll just let them sit, and I'll rinse them off before using them if they seem linty or dusty. I'm a clean freak when it comes to what goes in my vagina.

I clean them after every use. Keeps them nice and clean I usually use wipes and sprays and sometimes soap and water. My toys are all silicone.

This. Dried up bodily fluids? Not going back inside of me. Yuck.

I don't clean everything I have regularly, just when used. If I haven't used it in a while, I'll clean it before use. There's no way I could clean my entire collection each week. It would take a day. X.x

I clean them after each use (and rinse them off before). Periodically, the dishwasher safe ones get a special run through the dishwasher.

I wash them and put them back in their storage drawer after each use, I like my toys clean and tidy.

Before we use them to remove any dust and after we use them to remove the lube and other residues.

I give them a spritz with toy cleaner before play and then clean them again for my wife afterwards. She can easily get UTI's, and any bacteria in that area seems to trigger it so better safe than sorry.

They get a rinse before, and a cleaning after, every time.

I usually clean after use and always before! Sometimes I'll just clean afterward with a toy cleaner and before using it again, will wash with soap. I use a natural toy cleaner, but I still like to clean em with soap and water.

Wipes before to remove any dust or lint, and a cleansing spray or wash after to remove any and all fluids.

Before and after every use. Sometimes the "after" gets left til the next morning if I fall asleep though.

We use condoms on EVERYTHING (no matter the material safety) because most of the time we are too lazy to clean things immediately afterward, honestly.

I tend to wipe them down with wet wipes after and before uses. If it's been a while of if I use the toy a lot, I'll give it a more thorough cleaning.

Every time. It's not that hard to clean a toy, you know. And it's good hygiene.

I clean mine after every use (and rinse off beforehand if they've gotten linty). Sometimes if I'm feeling lazy and want to go to sleep right after playing, I'll use a toy wipe and then clean the toy properly when I wake up.

If they're for internal use they get cleaned before and after every use. I'm a bit more lenient with toys for external use only since they never get any fluids on them.

Everytime one gets used it gets cleaned.

I clean them after every use. If it's a toy material that attracts lint and dust, I will give them a quick wash right before using them too -- even though I store my toys in pouches and baggies.

^This! I also usually at least rinse (or wash with soap) before each use. I want to be sure my toys are clean.
