How to Clean a Fleshlight
It is essential to clean a fleshlight each time you use it. This will ensure it is hygienic, healthy and ready to go. Fleshlight recommends using a specialized soap for sex, spraying the sleeve inside and out, then thoroughly washing it before drying.
Avoid detergents, soaps, and hand sanitizers as they could erode the patented Super Skin material.
Infecting
In the midst of the moment cleaning a fleshlight not that comes to mind for most people. It is essential to wash this sexy object because it allows mould and bacteria to grow within its sleeve, which is porous. If these harmful organisms make their way into your penis you could get an infection. Get into the habit to wash your Fleshlight every time you use it and you'll be able to take advantage of it for longer.
You can clean a fleshlight or pocket pussy using water and anti-bacterial soap. If you don't have anti-bacterial soap, you can also use liquid hand soap or shower gel. However, avoid using regular bar soap or scented body washes because they could contain chemicals that could erode the material. Additionally, lubes based on oil are not recommended because they can hold moisture and encourage bacterial growth.
Cleaning the fleshlight or pocket pussy thoroughly is the most crucial aspect of cleaning it. Pay particular attention to the holes around the canal's exits. To do this, put the sleeve with hot water from the tap horizontally. Squeeze and rub the sleeve with your middle and index fingers of both hands while washing to make soap suds. This is particularly important for the textured surfaces, folds and gaps inside the sleeve and also where it rests on top of the case. Rinse until the soap is completely gone.
After you've washed your sleeve, it's essential that it's completely dry before you put it back into its case and keep it in storage. If you don't do this, it will encourage the growth of unattractive mold and, even worse, a lingering odor that suggests bacteria or the remains of hundreds of dead sperm cells that have escaped your fleshlight.
You can use a towel to dry your fleshlight. However, you should not touch the inside of it. The sleeve may develop small cracks and tears that are not just ugly, but also could hurt your genitals when you insert the toy. Utilizing a hairdryer or mini fan to speed up the process is highly recommended.
Deodorizing
It is a universal fact that dirty fleshlights stink. The smell comes from bacteria, mold and the dead sperm cells of a gazillion. A sour smelly fleshlight must be cleaned and deodorized. A sour-smelling fleshlight can trigger an infection with yeast and/or UTI So it's recommended to clean it and deodorize it frequently.
The simplest way to clean a Fleshlight is to use soap along with hot water and a sponge or cloth. Rub gently on the fleshlight's surface until you get a nice lather. Be sure to focus on the inside of the case, as it can get quite uncomfortable after a few minutes.
Don't use any general sex toy cleaner on your fleshlight, as many of them contain ingredients that may degrade the Cyberskin material over time. Avoid using hand sanitizers (rubbing alcohol) or any other product that contains isopropyl Alcohol on your skin.
Alternately, you can utilize the recommended Fleshwash (a special cleaner that doesn't damage Cyberskin) or simply clean your sleeve using 70% isopropyl alcohol which can be bought at your local drugstore. It's important that you rinse your sleeve thoroughly afterward, making sure to go into all the crevices and cracks.
It's important to let your skinlight dry after you've cleaned it. You can either let dry on a paper cloth or towel or put it in the tub and let warm water run over it. If you're running out of time, you can also put it in front of a fan or radiator to speed things up.
You can add renewal powder or cornstarch (recommended by your manufacturer) after the fleshlight is completely dried. You can then place it back into the case to ensure it's secure until the next time your dick gets tempted. Make sure to wash your hands following the event and make sure you have plenty of condoms to hand! If you're having a sexy night with your partner, don't forget to bring some extra toys, so you can change things up if you wish.
Refreshing
The sex of Fleshlights isn't the simplest toys to clean, but they can be done right. The outer plastic case is easily cleaned using paper towels that are soaked in warm, wrung out water. But the inside rubber sleeve may be more difficult.
It's best to spray the fleshlight with an cleaner for sex toys (Fleshlight makes one) and then thoroughly wash it. The process will take off some of the gunk stuck in the crevices but not all of it. This is why you need to let it dry, ideally with some airflow (like from an open window or a fan).
If you're not a fan of using sex-based cleaners It's not difficult to create your own solution made of isopropyl alcohol and water, but you'll want to use a concentration that's no higher than 70 percent. It is essential to eliminate any bacteria that may be lurking in the crevices. Otherwise it could be an ideal breeding ground for mold and other unwanted microbes.
When your fleshlight is ready to be left to dry then the next step is to add renewal powder. It's a cornstarch powder that's recommended by Fleshlight for the sleeve that surrounds your fleshlight and you can find it in any health food retailer. It aids in keeping the fabric from feeling sticky or spongy, and can also help protect the sleeve from rolling or breaking during use.
Before you store your fleshlight take it for a thorough scrub using a clean, dry cloth. This will help to remove any smells from the toy and ensure it is completely dry.
After cleaning it, you can store it in a dry, cool space (like cabinets) that is free of dust and lint. If you clean and store it properly, a light bulb will last for an extended period of time. So don't miss these steps! If it starts smelling funky or looks like mold but it's time to get rid of it and buy an entirely new one.
Drying
It is important to clean your Fleshlight thoroughly after each use. Begin by removing your sleeves from the case, and then running it under warm water until it's filled with water, and no soap remains visible. Pay attention to the deep textures, folds and gaps. Next, add a little anti-bacterial soap, or some body wash or hand soap and massage it into the sleeve until you're clean and no more soap is visible.
You'll need to make sure that the sleeve is completely dry before you put it back to the case. The sleeve may start to smell and feel sticky if you don't. If this happens, it's a sign that the sleeve has become too dirty and you should get rid of it.
There are several methods to dry out a fleshlight but they all require patience. One of the easiest ways is to lay it out on a towel in a cool, dark place until it's completely dry. You can speed things up by using a fan to blow it away but be patient and don't disturb the sleeves until it's dry.
Another method is to soak the sleeve in a glass of 70% isopropyl alcohol. You'll then need to massage and move your fingers around the sleeves. This will help clean any crevices or nooks. It will also kill any bacteria that might be growing on the sleeves.
If you don't have isopropyl alcohol on hand You can try rubbing alcohol or use a small bit of jojoba oils. Use a small amount of jojoba to prevent damage to the sleeve.
When your fleshlight is dry and clean and dried, it's ready to be used again! But remember, if you don't properly clean it this could lead to mildew or mold and that could ruin the entire experience. Clean your toy after each use and keep it away from hot surfaces because extreme temperatures can damage the silicone in the fleshlight sleeves.
