Quick Answer
Clean your hollow strap-on immediately after each use with mild soap and warm water, then air-dry completely before storing. For deeper sanitation, use a toy cleaner or a 10% bleach solution, but avoid boiling or dishwashing your Elite Silicone toy.
Why Hollow Strap-Ons Need Special Care
The hollow design of these strap-ons means there are internal surfaces that can trap moisture and bacteria if not cleaned properly. The dual-density Elite Silicone is soft for comfort yet firm for action, but it still requires gentle handling to maintain its texture and shape.
Using the wrong cleaning method—like boiling or using silicone-based lubricants—can degrade the material over time. Stick to mild soap and water or a dedicated toy cleaner to keep the surface intact.
Choosing the Right Cleaner
Not all cleaners are safe for silicone toys. Avoid products with alcohol, fragrance, or harsh chemicals that can break down the silicone. A simple fragrance-free antibacterial soap or a pH-balanced toy cleaner works best.
If you need to disinfect, a diluted bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) is safe for silicone, but rinse thoroughly afterward. Never use boiling water or a dishwasher, as high heat can warp or damage the material.
Step-by-Step Cleaning and Care Routine
- Rinse Immediately: After use, rinse the strap-on under warm running water to remove surface debris. Remove any harness attachments and rinse the hollow opening as well. Don't let it sit; immediate rinsing prevents residue from drying and becoming harder to remove.
- Wash with Mild Soap: Apply a small amount of fragrance-free antibacterial soap or toy cleaner to your hands or a soft cloth. Gently wash the entire surface, including the hollow interior. Use a soft brush or cotton swab to reach inside if needed. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the silicone.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse under warm water until all soap residue is gone. Ensure no cleaner remains inside the hollow cavity. Soap residue can irritate skin and attract bacteria—rinse until water runs clear.
- Air-Dry Completely: Place the strap-on on a clean towel or drying rack in a well-ventilated area. Allow it to air-dry completely, including the inside. Do not use a towel to dry the interior, as lint can stick to the silicone. Moisture trapped inside can lead to mold or mildew—make sure it's fully dry before storing.
- Store Properly: Once dry, store the strap-on in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Keep it separate from other silicone toys to avoid material transfer. Use a breathable bag if you have one. Avoid storing in airtight plastic bags, as trapped humidity can degrade the silicone over time.
- Disinfect Weekly or After Shared Use: For deeper sanitation, wipe the toy with a 10% bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water) or use a UV sanitizer if available. Rinse thoroughly afterward and air-dry again. Boiling or dishwashing is not recommended—stick to the bleach method for safe disinfection.
