Storing toys safely

Toys are great when using them; they bring pleasure and orgasms but what do you do with them when you are not using them. Throw them in a side drawer somewhere. I know that’s what I used to do! But no, this is bad for you and your toys. Here’s why…

DO NOT just store them in a drawer or cupboard

If you are not cleaning that drawer regularly, it will become a pit of bacteria for your toys and then for wherever you put those toys in the future (think genitals…eugh). Even if you clean it regularly, what about it if you haven’t a toy properly and then mix it in with your other toys? Again… eugh.

Store ALL your toys separately. Yes I said separately! 

Toys are often made of different materials. If you store these toys together, they can react, look disheveled and need to be chucked way before their time. The best way to store separately is to keep each of them in a clothes bag. This will not only stop toys mixing together, but will also stop dirt or dust attaching to your toy. Most toys will come with a way of storing and should always come with instructions. 

ALWAYS clean your toys before storage

For more information on how to clean your toys, please see our other guide and always make sure toys are completely dry before putting them away. 

Remove the batteries from your toy

Leaving batteries in your toy can potentially corrode the internal workings of your toy. Also, toys do continue to drain the batteries when its not in use. I know the disappointing feeling when the batteries die during action. Not fun!
