Caring for body-safe silicone toys

Good-quality silicone toys can last for years with a little care. The routine is simple and takes about two minutes.

Clean before and after every use

1. Check the waterproof rating. IPX7 toys can go under the tap; splash-proof toys should be wiped rather than rinsed.
2. Wash with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap or a dedicated toy cleaner.
3. Pay attention to seams, buttons and textured areas.
4. Rinse well and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

Never boil a toy with a motor inside. Motor-free silicone, glass and stainless-steel toys can usually be boiled for a few minutes — check the instructions first.

Let it dry completely

Air-dry on a clean towel before putting it away. Trapped moisture is the main cause of musty smells.

Store it separately

Keep each toy in its own pouch or a clean drawer section. Different silicones can react with each other if they touch for long periods, leaving marks on the surface.

Charging habits that extend battery life

• Charge fully before first use.
• Top up every couple of months even if you haven't used it — lithium batteries don't like sitting flat.
• Make sure charging contacts are dry before connecting.

Lube and silicone

Pair silicone toys with water-based or toy-safe hybrid lube. Silicone lube can make some silicone surfaces tacky over time.

When to replace a toy

If the surface becomes sticky, cracked or discoloured, or the toy won't hold a charge, it's time to retire it. Most of our toys come with a 1-year warranty, so get in touch if something fails early.
