Congrats on purchasing your very own Le Wand! A vibrating wand massager is a great all-around vibrator and body massager. It's likely going to become a regular part of your self-care/ self-love routine, so you'll want to protect your new best friend.

 

Proper cleaning, use, and storage will keep your Le Wand functioning optimally, help you avoid any potential harm, and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Here are our tips on how to keep your Le Wand in tip-top shape.


We've all seen the memes joking about hidden sex toys. The picture of mattresses with clear vibrator-shaped indentations on the bottom. It's enough to make one thing that everyone is furtively sneaking in a covert session with their toys and then just shoving them back under the mattress when they finish. We think a lot about how we use toys but not so much about how we store and clean them. Let's be honest though, sex toys are an investment, and if you make that investment, you want to take care of them. Let's talk a bit about how to do that!


Now that your goodie drawer is stocked with all kinds of fun, you want to make sure you know how to clean sex toys. If you're like me, after a toy-induced orgasm, you want to bask in afterglow and sleep. But, it's essential to keep your toys clean because, well, sex toys collect germs (duh). And, according to Women's Health, a dirty toy can lead to a yeast or bacterial infection. If you're sharing a doll with a partner, and that person is infected with a sexually transmitted disease or infection, you're putting yourself at risk the next time you use it. Yikes.


What your toy is made of (for example, silicone, plastic, or glass) will determine how you should clean it. Not only do you want to protect yourself from possible germs or infection, but you want to protect the integrity of your toy and make sure you don't damage it. I have heard stories of dildos melting in the sun because they weren't stored properly. Plus, these toys can be expensive, so you want to make sure you care for them properly. So, protect yourself and your bliss-inducing gadget with proper hygiene. When you purchase your toy, find out what it's made of so you can get it squeaky clean after you get off.

Body safety 

Rest assured, all Le Wand products are made of certified body-safe materials. There are no toxic materials that can be transmitted to your body from either the wand or any of the optional accessories. We use a premium, silky-smooth silicone for the wand head, as this is the part of the wand that touches your body. One of the wonderful attributes of silicone material is that it's nonporous, which means that bacteria and other contaminants aren't absorbed.


During sex-play, it is possible to spread bacteria if you share your toy. While ideally, it's best to use your own toy, we know many people enjoy sharing their good vibes with a partner. So, if you share, consider covering the wand head with the included texture cover or with a condom. Texture covers are a great overall accessory to protect the wand for sharing. They are very useful if you are on your period, prefer a lubricant or massage oil that is not compatible with the silicone head or want to use the wand on a non-intimate area of the body such as your feet. These covers can be used multiple times, although they should be thrown away and replaced once they start to wear out or begin to tear (typically 5- 10 uses). Be sure to wash thoroughly between uses.

 

Remember, you should not go from anal to vaginal play without first thoroughly washing your product or changing the texture cover or condom. You can, however, go from vag play to butt play with no issues.


Choosing the right lube

Lubricant is a great addition to playtime because it may further prevent infection. Body-safe lubes help provide create a smooth "glide" during penetration, which decreases the risk of vaginal or anal tears and micro-tears. Intact skin is one of your best defences against infection-causing bacteria.

Using a body-safe lubricant is key since lubes containing ingredients like glycerin and toxic preservatives can irritate your skin and cause an altered vaginal environment, which increases the likelihood of vaginal or anal tears and consequently raises the risk of infection. Remember to only use water-based lubes directly on the silicone head of Le Wand. The direct use of silicone lubes can cause product breakdown, change the shape of the silicone, and will (sadly) void its warranty.  Check out out our Magic Men dildos page which has everything adult shop related that you might need.



Try our sex-educator tested approved System Jo Agape Water-based Lubricant, which checks all of the above boxes.

 


Le Wand products can be cleaned either with our sex-educator tested and approved JO® NATURALOVE ORGANIC TOY CLEANER or a bar of mild soap and warm water.

 

JO® NATURALOVE ORGANIC TOY CLEANER is a USDA Certified Organic product that features a formulation of 95% pure ingredients, providing a natural care option to cleanse your Le Wand products hygienically. The organic lemon fruit extract works quickly to keep your toys ready for play and improves the lifespan of your item. JO® NATURALOVE ORGANIC TOY CLEANER is a soap-free formula and does not contain any alcohol, triclosan, or sulphates. It is safe for all toy materials and gentle on hands during use.


One of the easiest and cost-effective ways to clean the magic wand massager is to wipe it down with a hot soapy towel after every use to avoid any crud build up. The best way to perform this cleaning task is to use some gentle soap such as Softsoap and apply some to a warm towel. After doing so, wipe the head of the massager in a rotating manner for 30 – 45 seconds to ensure the head is clean and ready for future use. Please view this demonstration video.


If your toy is not waterproof (many large wands are not), you will want to wipe it down with a damp cloth and then allow it to air dry. Toy cleaning sprays are fashionable but not actually necessary. If using one makes you feel safer, go for it, but you can also keep your toy perfectly safe and clean without them.


When using soap and water, use a mild, unscented hand or dish soap. Avoid detergents that contain oils or moisturizers, as they can break down the product. Additionally, studies have shown that it is unnecessary to use antibacterial soaps because their use is no more effective in killing germs than a 15-second scrub with plain soap. Antibacterial soaps (usually containing triclosan or triclocarban) can also leave a residue that is not only irritating but can potentially disrupt the endocrine system, weaken the immune system, and cause congenital disabilities and cancer.

 

Keep in mind that the body of the Le Wand Vibrating Massager is not waterproof. Submerging the wand in water during cleaning or playtime will damage it and void the warranty (note: Le Wand attachments alone can be submerged in water).  



For those tricky to clean hard or soft plastic toys or anything with a cord, you can use safe alcohol, and paraben-free spray made especially to clean your erotic gizmos.


You want to make sure to rinse away all the soap, so be thorough in your cleaning. , OB-GYN Jacqueline Walters told Essence that even mild soap could irritate your privates. "The vagina has its own pH level, so it's supposed to be acidic [and the level should be] no less than 4.5," she said. "When we start adding all of the antibacterial soap what happens is you kill off the bacteria that is supposed to be there that creates the eco-system for the vagina and controls the acidity." Like you would clean anything you want to sterilize, rinse your toy with warm water.


The headcover should be cleaned after each use with a mild soap or sex toy cleaner using a soft cloth. To protect the head, it is advisable not to use with oil-based lubricants as these can damage the head material.


Dry and Store

Once your toy is clean, you want to make sure to dry it with a paper towel or clean towel. Women's Health recommended storing your sex toy in a silk bag to "protect it from other bacteria-laden items." Makes sense to me!  Check out out our Magic Men lube page which has everything adult shop related that you might need.



Honestly, under the mattress is not the best place to stash your sexy stuff. It puts a lot of pressure on the toys and so, especially things with moving parts, are in real danger of being damaged. Some toys come with storage pouches so you can discreetly store them in a drawer if your toy didn't come with a pouch you could often find something cute (picture an extra-large pencil case) at your local adult shop or re-use something like the dust bag from a purse to keep your toy safely stashed away.


Before you store your Le Wand products, it is crucial to wash them and allow them to dry entirely thoroughly. Doing this is essential to avoid the growth of mould and mildew. 

 

Additionally, we do not advise storing toys randomly in drawers, as they can collect dirt and dust. Keep your Le Wand Massager in the storage bag. Fortunately, Le Wand comes with its own case, but for toys that do not, zip lock bags, makeup bags, even dust bags work well. Once covered, toys can be stored together in a drawer or another desired location. Extreme temperatures can cause product destruction. Store your beloved buddies in a relaxed and dark place.
