How to Clean a Butt Plug and Anal Toy Properly

Last Updated on April 2, 2021 by Kelly

The use of butt plugs can make your sex life more satisfying and enjoyable for both you and your partner.

However, to prevent bacteria and infections, anal toys need to be cleaned thoroughly, just like any other toy. A dirty anal toy can breed bacteria and cause infections.

However, you might be pondering how to clean a butt plug properly. 

In this article, I will discuss the various kinds of anal plugs and how to clean them.


How to Clean Your Butt Plug and Anal Toy

The following is a straightforward guide how to clean a butt plug- step by step: 

Cleaning your butt is an essential part of anal play. Whether you’re using toys or not, you need to make sure that your butt is squeaky clean 🙂

The best way to clean thoroughly is by doing an enema.

If you are looking for a quicker way to clean yourself, you can always use warm water and soap. Do this in the shower, and make sure to use unscented soap. 

Once you are completely clean, you are ready for some anal fun!


Step 2 How to Clean Porous Butt Plugs

Porous butt plugs are made of materials such as plastic, rubber, or Cyberskin. These plugs are relatively easier to clean. 

In most cases, you just have to put the porous plug in lukewarm water and clean them using a mild soap.

It is necessary to clean your anal plugs right after you use them. If you don’t, they can develop bacteria and become unsafe to use.

Don’t scrub or use any harsh materials to clean them. If you use abrasive materials or chemicals, it will damage the surface of your plug.


Step 3 How to Clean Non-Porous Butt Plugs

Non-porous plugs are mostly made of glass and silicone. The best way to clean these plugs is to leave them in boiling water for a few minutes. After that, let them cool. 

However, make sure that your butt plug is made of heat-resistant material before boiling it.

If your anal toy isn’t heat-resistant, you should avoid boiling it. Otherwise, your plug may melt.

Instead, wash it with lukewarm water and soap just like you would with a porous butt plug.


Step 4 Tail Butt Plug Cleaning

Tail plugs are great for pet play, you can choose many variations, such as bunny and even foxtail. To clean these plugs, you MUST determine whether your butt plug has natural or faux fur. 

  • Real Fur: Use a damp cloth and soap to dab the tail and then blow dry it with a low heat setting.
  • Faux Fur: You can submerge it in water and wash it gently with soap. Make sure to brush out your tail plugs to keep them nice and fluffy.

Step 5 Battery Operated Toys

Avoid submerging your battery-operated toys in the water! Not only is this dangerous, but it can damage them as well. 

Instead, use a lightly damp washcloth and some soap to wipe down and clean your buttplug and then let it air dry.

I hope this guide on how to clean a butt plug has helped you understand the basics steps involved.
