Quick Answer
Clean your pussy pump immediately after each use with warm water and mild soap or a dedicated toy cleaner, then let it air dry completely before storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and other toys.
Why Cleaning Matters for Silicone and ABS Toys
Pussy pumps and clitoral vibrators often use medical-grade silicone and ABS plastic—both are non-porous and easy to clean, but they can still harbor bacteria if not washed promptly. The dual-material design of many modern toys (like the Lurevibe Dual Suction & Tongue-Licking Vibrator) means you need to pay extra attention to seams and crevices where moisture and residue can hide.
Skipping a wash or using harsh cleaners can degrade the silicone surface over time, making it tacky or prone to tearing. Stick to mild, fragrance-free soap or a pH-balanced toy cleaner to keep the material smooth and safe for repeated use.
Common Mistakes That Shorten Toy Life
Many users store their pussy pump while it's still damp, which encourages mold and mildew growth inside the suction chamber or motor housing. Others toss the toy into a drawer with other products, risking scratches or chemical reactions between different materials (e.g., silicone touching jelly rubber).
Another frequent error is using boiling water or a dishwasher to sanitize the toy—this can warp ABS plastic parts or damage the internal battery. Stick to surface cleaning only, unless the manufacturer explicitly states the toy is fully waterproof and boil-safe.
Step-by-Step Cleaning and Storage Routine
- 1. Rinse Immediately After Use: Remove any detachable covers or attachments (like the clitoral cover on the Lurevibe vibrator). Rinse all parts under lukewarm running water to flush away lubricant and bodily fluids. Don't let residue dry onto the toy—it becomes harder to remove and can clog suction holes.
- 2. Wash with Mild Soap or Toy Cleaner: Apply a small amount of fragrance-free antibacterial soap or a dedicated toy cleaner to your hands or a soft cloth. Gently scrub the entire surface, paying special attention to seams, suction openings, and the tongue-licking tip. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid using alcohol wipes or bleach—they can damage silicone and ABS plastic over time.
- 3. Air Dry Completely Before Storage: Pat the toy dry with a lint-free cloth, then leave it on a clean towel in a well-ventilated area for at least 30 minutes. Make sure the suction chamber and any crevices are fully dry inside and out. Storing a damp toy is the #1 cause of mold growth. When in doubt, let it dry an extra hour.
- 4. Store Separately in a Cool, Dry Place: Place the clean, dry toy in a fabric pouch or its original box. Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and other toys made of different materials (especially jelly or PVC). If storing multiple silicone toys, use separate pouches to prevent dust and lint from sticking. Never store the toy with batteries installed if it has removable batteries—remove them to prevent leakage and corrosion.
- 5. Recharge and Inspect Before Next Use: Before using again, check the USB charging port and the toy's surface for any cracks, wear, or residue. Recharge the battery fully (about 2 hours for the Lurevibe model) and do a quick function test of the suction and vibration modes. If you notice any unusual smells, discoloration, or sticky spots, deep-clean the toy again or replace it if the material is compromised.
