How to clean it
- 1Wash gently with mild, unscented antibacterial soap and warm (not hot) water after every use.
- 2Pat dry and allow to air-dry completely. Trapped moisture is the enemy.
- 3A light dusting of cornstarch-based renewal powder keeps the surface soft and matte.
Do
- ✓Use a condom over porous toys to keep them cleaner and extend their life.
- ✓Water-based lubricant only.
Don't
- ✕Don't boil, and don't share without a fresh condom. Porous material can't be fully sanitized.
- ✕Avoid silicone and oil lubricants, which soak in and can't be removed.
Storage
Fully dry, dusted, and separate (dyes can transfer), somewhere cool and dark.
How long it lasts
Shorter than non-porous materials. Replace periodically, and sooner if the surface turns sticky or discolored or develops any odor.
Check which lubricants pair safely with this material in the Material Safety checker. More on choosing well: body-safe materials, explained.
