The importance of cleaning a sex toy after use is often overlooked by both toy companies and consumers alike. Sex toys don't often come with instructions about how to clean them, but this is one of the most important practises when it comes to using your toy.
Why should I clean my sex toy?
Sex toys come into contact with the most sensitive parts of our body. While bacteria in these areas are kept to healthy levels by our bodily processes, when fluids come into contact with the material of a vibe or dildo the bacteria is no longer regulated.
Nasty bacteria including thrush can quickly multiply on a solid or porous surface and reintroducing these bacteria to your body can cause infections in your most sensitive places. It is important to clean your sex toy after each use for the reasons mentioned above. To avoid the spread of nasty bacteria during sessions, your toy should be cleaned after anal use (before using in another orifice) and before using on your partner.
How should I clean my sex toy?
You should invest in an antibacterial cleaner to remove fluids and microbes from your toy. These cleaners are strong enough to kill bacteria but mild enough to use after ever toy session. All toys should be cleaned, even those that do not directly come into contact with fluids or are used in the mouth.
Sex toy cleaner should be sprayed onto the toy and wiped gently with a cloth to remove any residue; they should then be left to air dry.
Vibes and dildos can also be cleaned with warm water and soap (preferably antibacterial soap) but remember where the toys will be used and consider this when choosing a soap. Sex toy cleaners have a balanced pH which does not interfere with the body's natural harmony; however some hand soaps do not have this benefit therefore toys should be rinsed thoroughly after cleaning.

What Will Sex Toy Makers Come Up With Next?
I have worked for a sex toy retailer for almost six years. In these six years, I have been exposed to so many different styles of sex toys. I still wows me on what the sex toy manufacturers can come up with. Before I worked for the sex toy industry, I was not too familiar on the variety of adult products that were available. Most of the vibrators that individuals are familiar with are the life like looking vibrators that resemble a real penis, the rabbit style vibrators, and the pocket rockets. Sex toys have gone beyond the rabbit vibes or the pocket rockets. There are a multitude of toys that range from sex toys that are discreet and do not look like a sex toy, to a ultra powerful, and pricey for some, Sybian Sex Machine. One of my main job functions is to take photos of the new products and put them on the web site. My position has enabled me to get a first hand look at some of the most interesting adult products that are available on the market. Here are some examples of the most interesting sex toys that I have come across in my job based on product design and/or features.
For the individuals that stress the utmost importance in discretion, there are some products that resemble your every day item such as this one. The Incognito Lipstick Vibrator will go with any complexion. To operate the vibrator, you turn the base and surprise, surprise, you can turn on the multi-speed vibrations. Whether you are always on the go or want to truly conceal your preferred mode of pleasure, the Incognito vibrator is a very discreet style of vibrator.
The Oh Mi Bod G spot Vibrator will move your body to the music, no joke. This vibrator buzzes to the sound of your music! Between your rockin beats and good vibrations, this vibe can send you on your way to orgasmic heaven. The vibrator plugs right into your iPod, and once you turn on the music, the vibrator is activated. When you turn the volume wheel up, the intensity of the vibrations increase.
The iRide from Doc Johnson definitely makes the most interesting list of sex toys that I have worked with. For those who want the total hands free experience, the iRide may be your product of choice. The padded seat is curved up on both ends so you can rock it back and forth while you are enjoying your pleasure trip. This toy has a similar concept to the Sybian sex machine and enjoy hands free pleasure. However, the dildo is attached and not interchangeable. The iRide features two individual motors, one to stimulate the vaginal region and the other located for clitoral stimulation. The user can choose between three vibration intensities.
When you were a little kid, you may have had a rubber duckie that you played with in the bath tub. The rubber duckie that I am thinking of is not for any kid, and is strictly for adult use. The I Rub My Duckie is another product that I found to be very interesting. This cute little duck also moonlights as a vibrator. The I Rub My Duckie is waterproof, so you can add a wet and wild adventure to your tub or shower time. As innocent as the I Rub My Duckie appears, it purpose is for more sinfully delightful uses. The I Rub My Duckie features a single speed and are activated by pressing on the duckie's back.
