The Ritual of Care: How to Clean and Store Your Intimate Devices

Investing in high-quality intimate items is an investment in yourself. But like any fine instrument, they require proper care to maintain their performance and hygiene.

Many people unknowingly damage their devices by using the wrong cleaning agents or storing them incorrectly. Here is the definitive guide to the ritual of care.

1. Know Your Materials

Before you wash, you must know what you are holding.

Silicone: The most common premium material. It is non-porous and can be washed with warm water and mild soap.
ABS Plastic: Hard, smooth plastic. Easy to wipe down.
TPE/TPR: Porous materials (often found in cheaper products). These require extra care as they can trap bacteria. Note: MythToy strictly avoids these materials.

2. The Golden Rule: Soap and Water

For 99% of waterproof devices, the simplest method is the best.

Rinse: Use warm water to remove any fluids.
Lather: Use a fragrance-free, anti-bacterial toy cleaner or a mild hand soap.
Scrub: Gently rub the surface with your fingers (avoid abrasive sponges).
Rinse Again: Ensure no soap residue remains.

3. The "No-Go" List

Never use these on your silicone items:

Alcohol: It can degrade the silicone surface over time, making it sticky.
Silicone-based Lube: "Like dissolves like." Silicone lube will melt your silicone toy. Always stick to water-based lubricants.
Boiling Water: Unless the manufacturer specifically states it is safe, boiling can damage internal motors and batteries.

4. Storage is Key

Throwing your devices into a "junk drawer" is a recipe for disaster.

Keep them separate: Different materials can react chemically if they touch for long periods.
Use the Pouch: This is why we provide velvet pouches. They protect against dust (silicone is a dust magnet) and prevent material reaction.
Cool and Dry: Avoid direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can damage the battery.

Treat your collection with care, and it will take care of you for years to come.
