Why is sex toy care important?
Careful care not only protects your health but also the environment. Properly cared for sex toys last longer, reducing waste and promoting sustainability. Unhygienic toys can harbor bacteria, while improper care can damage materials. With the right methods, your toys will remain safe and functional – whether made of wood, silicone, or epoxy resin.
Care of wooden dildos
Wooden dildos, like those from our Eleganza-Pro collection, require special care:
- Cleaning: Clean with lukewarm water and mild, unscented soap. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Wipe dry immediately with a soft cloth to avoid moisture damage.
- Storage: Store in a dry, breathable bag, away from moisture.
Wood is a natural material—with proper care, it remains durable and hygienic. Learn more in our wooden dildo guide .
Care of silicone dildos
Silicone dildos, like the Aquaflex Deluxe , are easy to care for, but there are important tips:
- Cleaning: Wash with lukewarm water and mild soap. Platinum-Cure silicone can also be boiled (5-10 minutes) or cleaned in the dishwasher (without detergent residue).
- Lubricant: Only use water-based lubricant, such as our Easyglide – silicone or oil-based products can damage the material.
- Storage: Store in a soft bag, separate from other materials to avoid reactions.
Silicone is durable and hygienic – with these steps it will stay like new.
Care of epoxy resin dildos
Epoxy resin dildos, such as the Eleganza-Pro walnut wood epoxy dildo, require special care:
- Cleaning: Wash with lukewarm water and mild soap. Do not boil to protect the resin and the DIN EN 71/3 certified lacquer (saliva-resistant, safe for children's toys).
- Lubricant: Use only water-based lubricant to avoid damaging the surface.
- Storage: Store in a soft bag to avoid scratches.
These tips will keep your epoxy resin dildo shiny and safe. Learn more about epoxy resin in our epoxy resin guide .
General tips for all materials
Regardless of the material, there are some universal care instructions:
- Regular cleaning: Clean after each use to avoid bacteria.
- Dry storage: Avoid moisture to prevent mold or material damage.
- Avoid extreme temperatures: Do not store toys in direct sunlight or in hot weather.
These basic rules ensure hygiene and longevity.
Common mistakes in care
Avoid these mistakes to protect your sex toys:
- Wrong lubricant: Silicone or oil-based lubricants can damage silicone or epoxy resin – always use water-based lubricant .
- Water that is too hot: Boiling is suitable for silicone, but not for wood or epoxy resin.
- Unsuitable cleaners: Harsh chemicals can damage materials – stick to mild soap.
Proper care protects your toys and your health.
