Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions
1. Rinse Right After Use
2. Use a Toy-Safe Cleaner or Antibacterial Soap
3. Gently Scrub the Inside
4. Rinse It Out
5. Dry It Properly
Storing It Right
-
Cool and Dry: Store in a cool place and away from direct sunlight, as this can cause decomposition of the material.
-
Lint-Free Bag: Store it in a storage bag to keep it dust-free. Deer Hunting makes this very important, as dust and other particles may hurt the quality and overall feel of the toy.
- Separate Storage: It should be stored separately from other toys, especially those made of different materials. This prevents any unforeseen interaction between the materials and will help maintain the hygiene of each toy.
Mistakes to Avoid
When it comes to pocket pussy care, a few common mistakes can shorten its life or make it less comfortable to use. Here's what to avoid:
Turning It Inside Out: This may appear to be an effective method of cleaning it thoroughly, but this is actually weakening the material.
Using Harsh Chemicals: Bleach or strong cleaning agents may be tempting, but they will do more harm than good. Stick to mild soap or toy cleaners.
Pre-Lubed Condoms: If you're using condoms with your toy, pass on the pre-lubricated ones. Some lubes can break down the materials over time.
Pro Tips for Keeping It Feeling Real
Now that we’ve covered the basics, here are a few extra tips to keep your pocket pussy as satisfying as ever:
Use a Good Lube: Water-based lube is the safest choice. For more insights on enhancing your experience, check out our article on how pocket pussies compare to other male masturbators.
Dust with Cornstarch: After drying, a light dusting of cornstarch keeps the material feeling soft and lifelike. Just a little goes a long way.
Cleaning Electric and Automatic Strokers
Vibrating, sucking, and auto-stroking toys need the same sleeve care as a manual pocket pussy, plus a little extra attention to the motor, buttons, and charging port. Water and electronics do not mix, so a few extra steps keep your toy working for a long time.
Before You Clean
- Read the manual first: Check which parts come apart and how water-resistant the housing is. "Splash-proof" and "waterproof" are not the same thing.
- Power it down: Turn the toy off, unplug the charging cable, and take out any batteries.
- Separate the sleeve: Most powered strokers have a removable sleeve. Take it out so you can wash it properly without getting the motor wet.
Washing the Sleeve and the Housing
- Sleeve: Clean it exactly like a manual sleeve, with a warm-water rinse, a mild soap or toy cleaner, gentle scrubbing of the texture, and a thorough final rinse.
- Housing: Wipe the outside with a damp cloth and a little toy cleaner. Unless the maker says it can be submerged, never hold the body under running water or dunk it.
- Ports and buttons: Keep water away from the charging port, buttons, and any vents. A dry cotton swab can clear away lube residue around seams.
- Skip the heat: No boiling water, no dishwasher, and no hair dryer on high. Heat can warp the sleeve and damage the electronics.
Drying, Charging and Storage
- Dry everything fully: Let the sleeve air-dry before it goes back in the housing. Trapped moisture inside a closed case is a fast route to odor and mold. A drying stick or a stand that lets air flow through the canal speeds things up.
- Charge only when dry: Make sure the charging port is completely dry before you plug it in.
- Store it ready to go: Put the sleeve back once it is dry, keep the toy in its case or a breathable bag, and store the cable with it. If you will not use it for a while, take out any removable batteries to prevent corrosion.
