Materials, cleaning, and storage
Compare label information and follow the exact product’s care instructions.
Read the material field
Silicone, PVC and TPE are different materials. A product with a silicone blend can have different care instructions from a product listed as silicone. If the material field and product title disagree, ask before treating the product as either material.
Match cleaning to construction
Follow the exact instructions on cleaning and drying. A motor, attachment, or mixed material can affect what can be submerged. Planned Parenthood’s sex toy guide also discusses cleaning toys and changing barriers when sharing.
Check lubricant and storage instructions
Check compatibility with the material and any barrier you use. Store cleaned and dried products separately if the maker recommends it. Replace products whose surfaces are cracked, damaged, or otherwise no longer cleanable as directed.
