Store your toys separately from other materials and avoid silicone-to-silicone reactions. Putting your toy in a breathable (never plastic) cotton drawstring bag is a great option for storage. Using a dedicated pouch or container for your sex toy can maintain cleanliness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best practices for sex toy maintenance include diligence and understanding sex toy hygiene.
