As a couple, you and your partner may have been curious about silicone dildos — especially if you want something that will last a long time and feel good. When it comes to cleaning and maintaining your silicone dildo, the answer appears to be yes, water based lubricants are okay to use with silicone sex toys.
I remember when my partner and I first looked into getting a silicone dildo. We were a bit hesitant as we weren’t sure what was the best type of lube to use on a silicone dildo. After doing some research, we both felt it would be better to use water based lubricants with our silicone dildo because it seemed to be the safest option when it comes to maintaining the integrity of the sex toy.
We decided to start with a small silicone dildo and opted for a water-based lube. We were pleasantly surprised at how smooth and slick the lube felt, as well as the texture of the silicone dildo itself. Our experience with water-based lube was definitely a positive one.
The great thing about using water-based lube with a silicone dildo is that it won’t over-saturate the material, which can cause a decrease in the longevity of the dildo. In addition, water-based lube is less likely to cause any reactions to your body or irritate your skin, which makes it an ideal choice for use with your silicone dildo.
We also found out that occasionally applying a water and vinegar solution to the dildo can help maintain its quality. This is because the vinegar helps reseal the silicone and prevent it from drying out. We found out that this same solution can be used to clean the dildo before and after using it which is a great way to maintain hygiene when using a sex toy.
At the end of the day, it’s important to do your own research and find the right lube to use on your silicone dildo. As long as you do, you can feel confident that you’re choosing the best possible option to keep your dildo in top condition.
Caring for your silicone dildo is an essential part of having a positive experience with it. Luckily, with the right products, fluids and techniques, you can maintain your sex toy for a long time. We personally like to use a light silicone-based lube then we follow up by cleaning it with a water and vinegar solution.
Additionally, you may also explore a different cleaning option like a specialized toy cleaner. This is similar to a spray bottle that you can use to sanitize and clean your sex toy. Toy cleaners are wonderful because it allows you to quickly and easily clean your silicone dildo right after using it.
It might be beneficial to use a storage case for your silicone dildo as it can help keep your sex toy in optimal condition. The case will also protect your sex toy from dust, dirt, and germs. Plus, it can be discreet if you find the right one with a cute design and no indication of its contents.
You can also use powders to help keep your silicone dildo dry. However, it’s important to choose water-soluble powders to be sure that the powder won’t get stuck on the dildo. Furthermore, specialized toy cosmetics can be used to give a beautiful glossy shine to your toy.
When it comes to traveling with your silicone dildo, you might want to think about getting a sex toy bag. This will help keep the toy clean and safe when it’s in transit. In addition, you can also buy waterproof envelope-style bags that can hold multiple sex toys.
If your silicone dildo has detachable parts, it’s important to understand how to disassemble and reassemble the toy correctly. For example, if there’s a base that goes in the toy, make sure it’s securely attached before playing with it. A loose base can be extremely dangerous if it’s not on properly.
Finally, it’s important to store your silicone dildo in a place where it won’t get any direct sunlight as this can damage the material. You also want to avoid storing it in humid places as this can be a breeding ground for bacteria and other contaminants. The best option is to store it in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and potentially harmful contaminants.
