Why Cleaning Your Dildo Matters

Every sex toy comes into intimate contact with your body. Without proper cleaning, bacteria, lube buildup, or residue can compromise your health and damage your toy. Here’s why cleaning matters:

  • Body Safety: Prevents infections or irritation from harmful bacteria.
  • Toy Longevity: Protects surfaces from micro-tears, dryness, or residue.
  • Premium Finish: Keeps your platinum-cured silicone dildos flawless for every use.

A clean toy ensures worry-free, fresh fun every time.

Before the First Use

Before enjoying your new realistic sex toy, give it a quick wash. During production and shipping, toys may collect protective powders or residue. A simple rinse with warm water and mild soap ensures your silicone dildo is ready for safe play.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Clean Silicone Dildos After Play

Follow these steps to keep your realistic sex toys fresh and safe:

  1. Rinse: Run your dildo under warm water to remove lube and fluids.
  2. Lather: Use a mild, fragrance-free antibacterial soap or a toy-safe cleaner. Work the surface thoroughly, especially textured areas or ridges.
  3. Rinse Again: Flush off all soap under warm water for 30–60 seconds.
  4. Dry: Pat gently with a lint-free towel or let it air dry upright.

Material Matters for Cleaning

Different materials require specific care:

  • Platinum-Cured Silicone (all Mr. Hankey’s Toys models): Non-porous, hypoallergenic, and easy to clean with soap and water.
  • Glass or Stainless Steel: Dishwasher-safe but benefits from a quick hand wash.
  • Porous Toys (not sold by Mr. Hankey’s): Require toy-specific cleaners due to their delicate nature.

Our premium silicone toys don’t need powders, sprays, or harsh soaps—just consistent, thoughtful cleaning.

Best Lube for Silicone Toys: Compatibility & Care

Choosing the right lubricant is as critical as cleaning. Water-based lubricants are the safest for silicone dildos, as they rinse off easily and won’t degrade the toy’s surface. Avoid silicone-based lubes, as they can damage the finish and shorten your toy’s lifespan.

Our Top Lubricant Picks at Mr. Hankey’s Toys

Explore our curated lubricants for performance, safety, and sensation:

  • FFausten: The Lube (4.2oz/120g jar): A concentrated, ultra-thick formula for depth play and giant dildos. Silky and non-sticky for extended sessions.
  • Elbow Grease Original Cream (15oz jar): A legendary oil-based lube for long-lasting comfort. Ideal for prolonged play but not suitable for condoms.
  • H2O Maxxx (8.5oz bottle/251ml): A clean, water-based gel that’s light, non-staining, and compatible with all sex toys.

No matter your play style, our lubricants ensure smooth, safe fun while protecting your investment.

Storing Your Silicone Dildo

Proper storage keeps your monster dildos and realistic sex toys in top condition:

  • Store in the original bag or a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • Keep toys separate to prevent silicone bonding.
  • Avoid extreme heat or direct sunlight.

Extra Tips for Toy Longevity

  • Don’t Share Without Protection: Always use a fresh condom between partners.
  • Switch Condoms Between Holes: Prevents bacteria transfer during anal-to-vaginal play.
  • Remove Batteries: For toys with motors, prevent corrosion during storage.
  • Travel Cleaning: Use antibacterial wipes for a quick clean when water isn’t available.
