Why Proper Cleaning Matters
Onaholes are made of porous materials like TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), which feel soft and lifelike—but can also trap moisture and bacteria if not cared for correctly. Failing to clean and dry your toy properly can lead to:
- Bacterial or fungal growth
- Foul odours
- Sticky or degraded material
- Shortened product lifespan
A clean onahole = a safer and better experience every time.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
1. Clean Immediately After Use
Don't let lube or bodily fluids sit inside the toy for hours. Clean it right after you're done to make things easier and more hygienic.
2. Rinse Thoroughly With Warm Water
Hold the toy under warm (not hot) running water. Gently squeeze the onahole to flush out the tunnel. Avoid turning it inside out, as this can damage the internal textures or cause tearing—unless the product is specifically designed for it.
3. Use Mild Soap or Toy Cleaner
Apply a few drops of mild, unscented soap or a dedicated antibacterial toy cleaner. Insert it into the tunnel and rub it gently with your fingers or a soft brush.
❗ Do not use alcohol, bleach, or any harsh cleaning agents—they can damage the toy's surface and internal structure.
❗ Avoid dish soap with fragrances or antibacterial additives unless specifically labeled safe for toys.
4. Rinse Again Thoroughly
Ensure no soap or cleaner residue remains inside or outside the toy. A second rinse under warm water will ensure everything is clean and safe for drying.
5. Dry Carefully and Completely
Moisture is the enemy of porous materials. Here’s how to dry your onahole properly:
- Use a soft, lint-free towel to pat the outside and absorb moisture from the tunnel entrance.
- Insert a microfiber cloth, paper towel, or special toy drying stick into the tunnel and leave it there for a few hours.
- Let the toy air dry standing upright in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
💡 Tip: A small fan aimed at the tunnel opening can speed up the drying process.
6. Apply Renewal Powder (Optional but Recommended)
Once completely dry, lightly dust the toy with renewal powder or plain cornstarch. This helps:
- Prevent stickiness
- Maintain the soft, skin-like texture
- Keep the toy feeling fresh for next use
Do not use talcum powder or baby powder—they can cause irritation or react with the material.
How to Store Your Onahole or Masturbator
1. Use a Storage Bag or Case
Store the toy in a clean, dry bag or container—preferably one made of cloth, mesh, or breathable material. Avoid sealed plastic containers unless the toy is 100% dry.
2. Keep It Separate
Don't let your onahole touch other toys or plastic surfaces. The material can react and become tacky or degraded. If you're storing multiple toys, keep each one in its own bag.
3. Avoid Heat and Humidity
Store in a cool, dark place—ideally a drawer or box away from direct sunlight, radiators, or humid bathrooms. TPE is sensitive to temperature extremes.
What Not to Do
❌ Don’t boil your onahole or use hot water
❌ Don’t turn it inside out unless it’s designed for it
❌ Don’t use silicone- or oil-based lubricants (use water-based only)
❌ Don’t store it damp or in an airtight container without drying
❌ Don’t use talc-based powders
How Often Should You Clean It?
- After every use—no exceptions
- Before first use (especially if it's just come out of packaging)
- If it’s been in storage for a while, rinse and dry before using again
