Almost all of you now have a large number of sex toys at home, as they have become an important part of sexual health and are helpful for satisfaction when sex partners are not available. But toys can also bring more variety and fun to foreplay and sex with a partner. As with any other personal item, it is important to store sex toys correctly to prolong their lifespan and ensure proper hygiene. Our simple tips will help you find and implement the best methods and practices for storing your favorite toys.
1. Cleaning before storage
Before storing your sex toys, it is essential to clean them thoroughly. This prevents the build-up of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms that can cause infections. Here are some basic cleaning tips:
Use warm water and mild soap after each use. Most sex toys can be cleaned quickly and easily this way. Make sure to rinse the toy thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
Special toy cleaner: For more thorough cleaning, you can use a special toy cleaner that has been specially developed for sex toys and is of course also available in our Poppers Shop.
2. Drying before storage
After cleaning, it is important that you allow your sex toys to dry completely before storing them. Moisture can encourage the growth of mold and bacteria, which can lead to health problems. Dry the toys with a clean towel and allow them to air dry completely.
Use talcum powder: Some materials tend to become sticky after cleaning, which can cause them to stick to dust, hair and other particles. Talcum powder can reduce this stickiness and keep the toys cleaner. Dusting with talcum powder can help keep the surface smooth and comfortable, making the toy easier to handle and longer to use.
3. Storage in suitable containers
To protect your sex toys from dust, dirt and damage, you should store them in suitable containers. Sex toys made of different materials should not touch each other. Otherwise, chemical reactions may occur between the different materials and they may even fuse together. Here are some of our tips for storing your toys properly:
Individual storage bags: many sex toys, such as our
Push Penis Dildos or our
Pornstar Dildos come with their own storage bag. These bags are tested by the manufacturer and are ideal for storing the toy separately and protected.
Special storage boxes: There are special storage boxes for sex toys that enable hygienic and discreet storage. These boxes often have an antibacterial coating.
Shoe boxes or other containers: If you don't have special boxes, you can also use a clean shoe box or other suitable container. Make sure that the toys do not touch each other to avoid damage. Separating the toys in the shoe box can also be done with zip bags or freezer bags; it is important to keep only one toy per bag.
4. Avoid direct sunlight and heat
Direct sunlight and high temperatures can damage the material of your sex toys. Therefore, store them in a cool, dry place that is protected from direct sunlight. As mentioned, a shoe box is ideal for this.
5. Separation of different materials
Different materials can react with each other and cause damage if they come into contact with each other. Silicone, rubber and jelly, for example, can react chemically and become sticky. It is therefore essential to store sex toys made of different materials separately.
6. Regular inspection
Check your sex toys regularly for signs of wear, cracks or other damage. Every sex toy is a commodity that can naturally break after intensive use. Damaged toys should no longer be used as they can cause injuries or infections. If you discover a damaged toy, dispose of it and replace it with a new one. At Poppers-Shop.de you will find a particularly large selection of high-quality
sex toys for your pleasure.
7. Discreet storage
If you value discretion, there are various ways to store your sex toys discreetly. Many people use lockable boxes or special drawer inserts that are easy to hide. Make sure that the storage location is easily accessible for you, but not immediately obvious.
Proper storage of sex toys is crucial to prolong their lifespan and ensure hygienic use. By cleaning them regularly, drying them carefully and using suitable storage containers, you can ensure that your toys are always ready for use and in perfect condition. By paying attention to these aspects, you can support your sexual health and well-being in the long term and enjoy your sexual aids for longer.
