Quick Answer

To clean your CLF vibrator, wash it with warm water and mild soap after each use, then dry it completely before storing. For deeper care, use a dedicated toy cleaner and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Why Proper Cleaning Matters

Cute Little Fuckers vibrators are made from body-safe silicone, a non-porous material that resists bacteria buildup. Still, regular cleaning removes oils, lubricants, and bodily fluids that can degrade the silicone over time or cause irritation. A quick rinse isn't enough—proper hygiene extends the toy's life and keeps your play safe.

Silicone is durable, but it can attract lint and dust if stored improperly. Always dry your vibrator fully before putting it away to prevent mold or mildew growth.

What You'll Need

You don't need fancy supplies. Mild, fragrance-free soap and warm water work perfectly. Avoid antibacterial soaps with triclosan, as they can be harsh on silicone. A dedicated toy cleaner is optional but convenient for travel. Use a soft cloth or paper towel for drying—abrasive materials can scratch the surface.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Routine

  1. Rinse Immediately After Use: Run the vibrator under warm (not hot) water to remove surface lubricant and fluids. Avoid boiling water or dishwashers—extreme heat can damage the silicone and internal electronics. A quick rinse prevents residue from drying and becoming harder to remove later.
  2. Wash With Mild Soap: Apply a small amount of mild, fragrance-free soap to your hands or a soft cloth. Gently scrub the entire surface, including the curve and flippers if your toy has them. For Shimmer, pay attention to the tail and flippers where lube can hide. Don't use scented or harsh soaps—they can irritate skin and degrade silicone over time.
  3. Rinse Thoroughly: Hold the vibrator under running warm water until all soap is gone. Soap residue can cause irritation during next use. Check that no bubbles remain in crevices. A thorough rinse is just as important as the wash itself.
  4. Dry Completely: Pat the toy dry with a clean, lint-free cloth or paper towel. Let it air-dry for a few minutes on a clean surface before storing. Silicone attracts lint, so avoid terry cloth towels that leave fibers. Storing a damp toy invites bacteria and mold—always dry fully.
  5. Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Place your clean, dry vibrator in a storage pouch or a dedicated drawer away from direct sunlight and other toys. Silicone can react with certain materials like jelly toys, so keep them separate. If you own multiple CLF toys, the Season 1 Poly Pack's individual packaging makes storage easy. Proper storage prevents material degradation and keeps your toy ready for next time.

Product Care Notes

  • Shimmer! ✨: Shimmer has a thinner width than most insertable toys, making them a great vibrator for beginners and people who want to play with less need for warm up. Because Shimmer is slender, pay extra attention to cleaning the curve and flippers where lubricant can collect. A soft brush or cloth helps reach those areas without damaging the silicone.
