Proud owner of a LELO vibrator! Congratulations! But now that you’ve experienced the pleasure it brings, it’s time to talk about how to properly care for it to ensure it’s safe for future use. So brace yourself because we’re about to drop some knowledge bombs on how to clean a Lelo vibrator the right way to help you avoid any unwanted infections and keep the good times rolling- let’s go!

Getting to Know Your LELO Vibrator

Before you get down to business, let’s make sure you know how to take care of your new vibrating toy properly. To do that, you need to make sure you read the user manual that came with your toy. It should look like Lelo Mia 2’s user manual in the image below. It’s like the Bible for your sex life, and it’ll give you all the information you need to know about your new toy. Trust us, you don’t want to skip this step.

Now if this is your very first vibrator, we highly recommend getting to know what a vibrator really is at its core to make sure you have a deeper understanding of its nuances.

Next, let’s talk about what your toy is made of. Most LELO vibrating sex toys are made of non-porous materials which makes cleaning easy-peasy. However, if your toy is made of a different material, we recommend double-checking the user manual for specific cleaning instructions.

How to Clean a LELO Vibrator The Right Way?

Pre-Cleaning Prep Talk

Let’s start at square one, which is to ensure you have the right cleaning supplies on hand. We recommend gentle soap and mildly heated water. But if you want to go the extra mile, grab a specialized sex toy cleaner to ensure it stays in tip-top shape. Just make sure it’s compatible with the material. You don’t want to accidentally damage your new toy, right?

Cleaning Your LELO

Make sure your LELO vibrator is waterproof. If it’s not, you’ll need to be careful when cleaning it. If it is waterproof, you can rinse it off with running warm water and mild soap. But be sure to use a gentle soap that won’t damage your toy. If you’re not sure what to use, check the LELO website for recommendations.

Once you’ve washed your LELO vibrator, rinse it off with mildly heated water and pat it dry with a clean, lint-free towel. Don’t use a rough towel or cloth, as it can scratch the surface of your toy. If you want to be extra careful, you can use a toy cleaning spray or cleaning wipe. Just make sure it’s safe for use on medical-grade silicone and other body-safe materials.

Spot Cleaning (For Those Quickie Cleans)

If you just had a quickie with your toy and you’re too tired to give it a full wash. Don’t worry, you can get away by following these easy spot-cleaning tips. Always unplug your intimate items and remove any batteries before cleaning. Easy to do but also easy to forget so keep this in mind. Then, grab some toy sex toy spray such as LELO Cleaning Spray, which is softened with zinc salts, or use a gentle soap, and dampen a clean cloth with it.

Gently wipe down the surface of your LELO vibrator, paying extra attention to any ridges or crevices where dirt or fluids may be hiding. Remember, spot cleaning is just a quick fix. To keep your toy both hygienic and in great shape, it’s key to give it a good scrub with soap and water or use a toy cleaner. For that extra clean feel, why not give a cleaning spray a shot after each use?

Deep Cleaning

Fill a bowl with warm water and add a few drops of mild, unscented soap. You don’t want to use anything too harsh that could damage your vibrator. Gently place your vibrator in the bowl of soapy water and let it soak for a few minutes. After the soak, use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub your vibrator, paying special attention to nooks and crannies. Once you’ve given it a good scrub, bathe it off with clean water and dry it with a soft towel.

Note: Ensure any toy cleaner used is compatible with your toy’s material, ideally choosing alcohol and paraben-free cleaners with zinc salts to prevent infections like yeast infections. Just a quick tip for those of us who own rechargeable LELO vibrators: it’s a good idea to keep them charged up before you stash them away so they’re always ready for action when you need it next.

How To Store Your LELO Sex Toys?

You must clean and dry the toy before storage, using a damp cloth and avoiding surface bacteria. It’s crucial to avoid storing your LELO sex toys with other items, particularly those made from materials like jelly or rubber, as these can degrade and damage your toys.

Always use the storage pouch or box that came with your toy. Find a cool, dry spot for it, away from direct sunlight and heat. This little bit of care goes a long way in preserving your toy’s condition.

Do’s and Don’ts of Vibrator Care

• Always start with a good wash before and after use. Use gentle soap and mildly heated water to clean it thoroughly for at least 20 seconds. Don’t forget to rinse it well to remove any soap or cleaner residue.
• If you’re sharing your vibrator with a partner, it’s best to use a condom. Condoms are like your go-to barrier against bacteria and germs when you’re sharing your vibrator. After you’re finished, just roll off the condom and chuck it. Clean-up’s a breeze, no mess, no stress. It’s especially great for those times when a deep clean isn’t on the cards right after use.
• Before you start cleaning your toy: it’s good to check out what it’s made of. Most vibrators are crafted from stuff like silicone, ABS, glass, or stainless steel. As for LELO vibrators, they’re typically made with top-notch silicone and ABS plastic. These materials are non-porous and a breeze to clean, so you’re in luck there! Avoid using a cleaning spray with alcohol or harsh chemicals as they can damage the material.
• If you’re storing your vibrator in a bag, make sure it’s clean and dry before putting it away. Moisture can lead to the growth of bacteria and mold.
• Lastly, don’t forget to check the batteries regularly and replace them as needed. Always look for any signs of wear and tear, such as cracks or tears.

Pro tip: One important ‘do’ that everyone should be wary of is the proper usage. If you’re still learning the ropes with your new toy, this complete how to use a Lelo vibrator 101 is for you.
