The Joy of Toy Cleaner

This past Saturday's product review got me thinking about other tips of toy care and storage I could pass along to you, my dear readers, so I decided to give you a little background on one of my favorite products - Before & After Adult Toy Cleaner!

So, why is using a toy cleaner so important? Why can't we just use soap and water to clean our toys? (You are cleaning your toys, aren't you?!?)

While I have seen some articles tell readers to simply use any anti-bacterial soap to clean their sensual toys, I have to advise against this. Anti-bacterial soaps are designed to go on your hands, a much tougher part of the body than any intimate area. These anti-bacterial soaps are also meant to be pleasing to the eye and nose, so they contain dyes and perfumes that many women may be sensitive to, making them more prone to yeast infection once these chemicals are introduced south of the border. And, to make matters worse, the anti-bacterial ingredients in soap do not discriminate between the helpful bacteria that we all need in our bodies to stay healthy and harmful bacteria. This means that all bacteria is killed, leaving you vulnerable to - you guessed it - yeast infections when the bacteria begin to grow back in this now-sterile environment.

So, now you're wondering "Why can't I just rinse really, really well?"

As with all soaps, no matter how well you rinse after washing, some residue from the soap will be left behind, especially in more porous materials like the soft jelly's used to make most intimate toys. So, even if you've rinsed until your hands are all pruny, chances are that there's still some soap lurking in the nooks and crannies of your favorite toy.

So, what's the difference between a toy cleaner and your favorite anti-bacterial soap?

Toy cleaners, like Before & After, are designed to be used to clean intimate toys. They have been formulated to kill harmful bacteria while still still being gentle enough to be used on intimate parts of the body. They contain no dyes or perfumes and are super easy to use! Just spray on, wipe off, and youre done!
