Keep your anal plug body-safe and long-lasting with this simple cleaning and storage routine. Learn the right steps for silicone toys.
Quick Answer
Wash your anal plug with mild soap and warm water after each use, then dry and store it in a clean, dry place away from other toys.
Why Silicone Needs Special Care
Silicone is non-porous and body-safe, but it can attract lint and dust, and it should never touch silicone-based lubricant. The Inner Band Trainer from Tantus is made of 100% Ultra-Premium silicone, which is durable and easy to clean—but only if you avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbing.
A common mistake is using antibacterial soaps or boiling water on lower-grade silicone. With premium silicone, boiling is safe, but only if the toy is 100% silicone with no electronic parts. Always check the manufacturer's instructions first.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Routine
- Rinse Immediately After Use: Run warm water over the plug to remove any lubricant and debris. Use your fingers to gently wipe the surface. Don't let lube dry on the toy—it becomes harder to remove and can trap bacteria.
- Wash with Mild Soap: Apply a small amount of fragrance-free, mild liquid soap to the wet plug. Work it into a lather over the entire surface, including the base and any ridges. Avoid antibacterial soaps or those with moisturizers—they can leave a residue that irritates sensitive skin.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Hold the plug under running warm water until all soap is gone. Check that no bubbles remain in textured areas. Leftover soap can cause irritation or affect the toy's surface over time.
- Dry Completely: Pat the plug dry with a clean, lint-free cloth or paper towel. Let it air-dry on a clean surface for a few minutes to ensure no moisture is trapped. Lint from regular towels can stick to silicone. Use a microfiber cloth or let it air-dry.
- Store in a Clean, Dry Place: Place the plug in a breathable cotton bag or a dedicated toy box. Keep it away from other silicone toys to prevent material transfer. Silicone can degrade when stored touching other silicone toys. Separate them with fabric or keep each in its own pouch.
