1. Read the Care Manual (Yes, That Tiny Paper You Ignored)
Most adult toys for men are made from TPE, silicone, or cyberskin, and they all have slightly different needs.
If your toy came with instructions, give it a glance. If it didn’t, no stress — I got you.
2. Rinse Right After Use (Don’t Wait Till It Smells Like a Locker Room)
The moment you finish your five-star solo performance, take your male masturbator to the sink.
- Remove any inner sleeves if it has one.
- Run lukewarm water through the toy.
- Avoid hot water — you're cleaning it, not boiling spaghetti.
Why immediately? Because once the fluids dry, bacteria moves in like it pays rent.

3. Use the Right Cleanser (No, Not Dish Soap)
Please, I beg of you — do not use dish soap, hand sanitizer, or shampoo.
They contain harsh chemicals that can ruin the toy’s material, especially if it’s made of lifelike TPE or cyberskin.
Use a special sex toy cleaner or, at the very least, a gentle unscented antibacterial soap.
4. Optional: Use a Soft Brush or Sponge
For particularly detailed textures or ribbed tunnels, a soft baby bottle brush can help.
DO NOT use your roommate’s toothbrush unless you want a one-way ticket to friendship jail.
5. Rinse Thoroughly Like It’s a Spa Day
Run lukewarm water again, ensuring no soap or cleaner remains inside the toy.
Leftover soap = irritation next time you use it. Your penis deserves better.
6. Dry Properly (This Part Matters!)
This is where most people mess up. Never store a damp toy.
Moisture invites mould. And let me tell you — no one wants to put their member in mould.
- Use a lint-free towel or let it air dry standing upright in a clean spot.
- Stick a paper towel or soft cloth inside to soak up inner moisture.

7. Once Dry, Use Renewal Powder (or Cornstarch!)
Many realistic male masturbators are made of soft materials like cyberskin, which can get sticky after washing.
Dust a light coating of renewal powder or pure cornstarch all over the sex toy to keep it silky smooth and lifelike.
8. Store It Like It’s Your Sexy Secret
Once it’s clean and dry, store your male masturbator in a cool, dry place — ideally in its own breathable bag or case.
I store all our sex toys in a discreet, locked box under our bed. Why? Because good toys deserve good
homes. And good toys deserve to be clean. Imagine pulling out your favorite
stroker after a long day only to find it smells like week-old regret. No, thank you.
