Cleaning is always a very important part of owning any sex toy, and male masturbators are no different. Compared to many sex toys, the need to clean vagina strokers are even more important than usual. These toys are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria with plenty of warmth and moisture, especially if you ejaculate into it. Luckily cleaning doesn’t have to be too much of a chore and most sex toys can be cleaned off and ready to use again with very little effort.
Always Check Your Pussy
The first part of cleaning your device should always be giving it a thorough inspection to make sure there is no damage anywhere. No amount of cleaning is going to fix any physical damage and using a faulty device can cause you many problems. You should be looking for:
- Cracks in the surface of the material: Any cracks that from in your sleeve are the perfect place for bacteria to hide and grow. It’s very difficult to clean out cracks in some materials and continuing to use a pussy with a crack and eventually lead to it completely snapping.
- Discolouration: Discolouration can be caused by many different things, but most of the time it will either indicate a problem with your lubrication, cleaning fluid, or sleeve itself. If you can identify the cause and know it isn’t going to cause you problems, then you can continue to use your pocket pussy but if you aren’t sure why the colour is changing then you should probably stop using it and buy a new one.
- Rust or battery leaks: This only applies if your pocket pussy uses a motor to simulate suction or provide vibrations. If you find any rust or battery acid building up, then there is usually something wrong with your device. You should stop using it immediately and buy a new one.
- Rough or raised areas: Nearly all toys made of softer materials like silicone or latex will eventually have areas which aren’t as smooth as the rest. This is a natural product of wear and tear and is nothing to do with how you use the toy. These areas can cause irritation during use though, so if you notice any you should try and get rid of them with a small nail file. If they can’t be fixed and you find your toy causing you problems, it may be time to look for a replacement.
How Often Should You Clean Your Pocket Pussy?
This is a question commonly asked and it only really has one answer. You need to clean your pocket pussy after every single use. There’s no way around this if you want to avoid any harm to your penis, so you should get into the habit of doing it as soon as possible after use. The sooner you get it done, the sooner it’s out of the way.
While not a complete necessity, it’s also good practise to clean your pocket pussy before use as well. Many people won’t bother, because it hasn’t got dirty since they last used and cleaned it. While this is somewhat true, there are still plenty of opportunities for bacteria to accumulate on your pussy during storage. One major issue is if you don’t manage to get it completely dry after cleaning. The moisture is a perfect breeding ground for mould and if you don’t get rid of it before use you’ll be plunging your penis straight into it. Cleaning before use completely avoids any potential issues.
How to Clean Your Pocket Pussy
Although important, the actual process of cleaning nearly all sex toys will usually be quite simple. Pocket pussies are no different! For many kinds of pocket pussy, it is a simple matter of wiping everything clean with warm soapy water. Those of you lucky enough to have a pocket pussy made of more realistic materials like cyberskin need to be a little more careful as some soaps break down the surface of the delicate materials. These materials need very little soap if any at all.
Some materials will need to be treated differently during cleaning though so it’s important to know your own pocket pussy well. If you aren’t sure what yours is made of or the most ideal way to clean it, always check the instructions first. Or use this cleanser as it's specially formulated to make your toy clean, fresh, and germ-free.
Depending on the material you have it may end up feeling a little sticky or gooey. The more realistic the material is the more likely this is to happen. It’s very easy to remedy though. After it is dried, simply apply some corn starch to the surface and it will stay as smooth as when you bought it.
Cleaning Pocket Pussies with Electrical Parts
If you have a vibrating pocket pussy, or one that is meant to simulate blowjobs, you need to take extra care while cleaning it. Unless your device is completely waterproof you’ll need to take extra care to make sure no water gets into the motors or electrical parts. The best way to deal with cleaning these kinds of pocket pussies is to use a damp cloth with your chosen cleaning fluid and carefully wiping each part of the pussy.
Storing Your Pocket Pussy
Once you’ve used and cleaned your pocket pussy, you need to ensure you store it properly between uses. Not only will proper storage make sure nobody stumbles upon your pussy, it will also help it to last much longer.
The first step of proper storage is to make sure the device is completely dry. As mentioned earlier, if moisture stays inside the sleeve between uses then it’s very easy for mould to build up inside the device. Drying is one of the hardest parts of caring for a pocket pussy due to the difficulty of getting to all the areas. The easiest ways to do it are to simply let it air dry over a longer period or use a hairdryer on a lower and cooler setting to gradually dry both the inside and outside of the sleeve.
Once completely dry, you should always try to store your pocket pussy in a cool, dry place. If you kept it, the box it came in is ideal for storage. Failing that, any sturdy box will do. It’s usually a good idea to store each sleeve or device in either separate boxes, or separate bags within the boxes. Some types of material used in sex toys can react with each other and begin to degrade. Making sure they don’t touch at all in storage avoids the chance of this entirely.
Stick to these simple pieces of advice and you should have little to no trouble with your pocket pussy.
All sex toys will degrade over time, but keeping up with proper care will ensure your pocket pussy lasts as long as possible.
