Why You Should Always Clean Your Fleshlight
After each use, it’s crucial to wash your Fleshlight. You know what you did with it, and leaving it dirty overnight? Well, let’s be honest—that’s gross. The leftover lube and other biological materials can become a breeding ground for bacteria if you don’t clean it promptly. So, let’s dive into how to clean your toy step by step.
Steps to Clean Your Fleshlight & Pocket Pussy
Step 1: Disassemble the Fleshlight
Start by removing the Fleshlight sleeve from its plastic casing. You’ll want to pull out the entire sleeve and set the casing aside.
Step 2: Rinse with Warm Water
Use warm water—never cold—for cleaning. It’s not only more comfortable but also much better for removing any lube or leftover substances. Run the water through the sleeve from all angles. If you used water-based lube, it will wash out more easily. Avoid oil-based or silicone-based lubes, as they can damage the toy and are harder to clean.
Step 3: Check for Residue
After rinsing, check to see if any residue or bubbles remain. If the water running out is clear, you’re good. If not, you might want to repeat the process until it’s fully clean. A handy trick is to fill the sleeve with water, plug one end, and shake it back and forth to ensure thorough cleaning.
How to Dry Your Fleshlight
Step 1: Dry the Hard Case
The hard plastic case is easy to dry. Simply wipe it down with a towel. Make sure it's completely dry before storing it.
Step 2: Dry the Fleshlight Sleeve
Drying the sleeve is a bit trickier. Start by wrapping it in a towel and pressing out as much water as possible. Be sure to press firmly to remove water from all parts of the sleeve. You can also turn parts of it inside out to reach the inner surfaces.
Step 3: Air Drying
Once you've towel-dried the sleeve, leave it on a towel to air dry. Check for any remaining moisture by touching the inside with your fingers. If it feels completely dry, you're good to go! Make sure to let it dry fully before putting it back into the case to avoid trapping any moisture inside.
How Often Should You Clean Your Fleshlight?
You should clean your Fleshlight after every single use—no exceptions. Letting it sit with leftover lube and fluids for too long increases the risk of bacteria growth. Ideally, wash it right away, but if you need to wait, don’t leave it for more than 8–12 hours.
Conclusion
Keeping your Fleshlight and pocket pussy clean isn’t just about hygiene—it’s about making sure your toy lasts. Always use water-based lube, avoid delaying the cleaning process, and make sure it's fully dry before storing it. With proper care, your Fleshlight can last a long time!
