  What's the best way to clean and store toys

[savanni]

best way is with soap and water ive found, then storing it in a talc or baby powder. Myself i try to use condoms with the toys, makes for easier clean up. Your tiger toy will be able to fit them no problem (a certain kitty told me ).

I personally use dish soap and warm water on mine, and its worked for years.
On the Gel toys you will need to coat them in babay powder between uses as the toy can get sticky, this is natural for the gel toys, and the stickyness binds to the powder and washes away with the soap and water, leaving the toy good as new for use.
the silicone toy is coated in powder when you recieve it so it wont stick to the bag in shipment, it does not need to be recoated, in fact i leave mine sitting out as artwork when not being used, and so i can show folks on cam when they ask to see certain toys compared for size differance.

i put the condom in the package as a safe sex addition, it does not have to be used on the toys, but is ther in case one has company when the package arrives and they get frisky together

Thanks a bunch for the info. Someone told me to use Isopropyl to clean them with, I guess it would work to sterilize with. Maybe wash with soap and water and then sorta rinse with it?

I was thinking about using condoms on it also, but would it affect the feel of it?

Does any lube come with the toy?

[savanni]

i would just stick to the soap and water its cheaper and works alot better without worry of hurting the toy. as for condoms ive never seen a real difference in using them and not using them. but ive used it both ways for years and i prefer using the condoms, just incase you get so tired after using the toy it doesnt hurt the toy any. plus its pretty much just roll off the condom and wipe off the base of excess lube or where ever the condom stops and bang your done for a  while.

To make sure toys don't 'bleed' into each other, I use large tube socks when storing mine as individual cases   I've heard of many people complain of color bleeding on the old toys, but mine are nearly perfect making sure to do this.

Isopropl is going over the line in my opinion... I almost could see that doing damage??  A little soap + water is plenty fine.

I use a condom with silicone toys when I would like to use silicone lube.. just to be safe it doesn't damage

[savanni]

thats actualy a really good idea on the socks, i myself prefer to use ziplock bags, and put some light talc in them to keep them fresh and covered.

[Brownbear]

Thats the same way I do mine, or I just leave them out and wash when im about to use them

I like to have them on display just to look at as I work.
I also like having some from other makers about, but I dont have any from the newer toy makers.

with this new place we are getting, in the closet there is a little offset that im planning on making into toy haven as it were the toys that are used the most will go in there hehe

[Brownbear]

hehe

  keeps em away from small relatives and from nosey guests

[savanni]

yus thats the hardest part keeping them from prying eyes.... until you tell them to go fetch something out of the closet on purpose

I found my own "best" way to keep my toys clean.

1.) If you do want to make cleaning much easier, use a condom. Some ppl prefer that as cleaning does not take much time this way.
2.) If you do not want that, or do want to feel the structure of the new silicone toys (), clean the toy with warm water first, use soap and water afterwards and finally pick up some kind of disinfectant (I personally prefer pjur towels & spray).
It is important to disinfect your toys regularly! Be careful to get a disinfectant that does not harm silicone/gel/your butt

About the storing-problem:
I store my toys in a big briefcase. Noone is interested in this one, so nobody ever looks into it

That's the deal my friend Plus, it fits everywhere and can be locked. Works fine for me.

[Brownbear]

Hmm

Necver thought of that, but then again we never ever have company
