Cleaning A Male StrokerWhether you've bought a brand spanking new Monkey Spanker or you've just invested in a sensation-packed Tenga Flip Hole Masturbator, keeping your new male sex toy feeling fresh and new is highly important.

However, each sex toy requires a different kind of maintenance and knowing which advice to follow can be tricky.

That's why we here at Lovehoney have collaborated all the best male sex toy care information and presented it for you here!


These are Lovehoney customer favourite sex toy care products:

How to clean Fleshlights

How To Clean A FleshlightNo matter what kind of Fleshlight you own, the care instructions are the same.

After use, remove the insert from the plastic casing and run hot water through the middle to remove any lubricant or bodily fluids. Don't use any cleaners or detergents as these will deteriorate the surface of your Fleshlight - hot water will ensure optimum hygiene on its own.

Next, towel or air dry the gel insert. Many people use a hairdryer to speed up the process but leaving it on a clean, dry shelf works just as well!

Afterwards, you will notice that the fleshlight feels slightly tacky or sticky but this is perfectly normal. Sprinkle a little Fleshlight Powder or even some cornstarch/corn flour on the insert and it will feel as silky smooth as the day you bought it.

To properly re-position the gel insert inside the plastic canister, reach through the small end of the canister and pull the insert down into place.

How to clean TENGA

The TENGA Onacups and Eggs are designed to be used only once, but you can prolong their usable life by wearing a condom each time you use them.

How to clean Male Masturbators
