Do you own a pocket pussy but are unsure how to clean it properly? Hygiene is an essential part of maintaining any male masturbator. Fortunately, the process is simple when done correctly.
With several years of experience in male pleasure products, we will guide you through the safest and most effective way to care for your toy.
To clean a pocket pussy, rinse it with warm water, wash it gently using mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely before storing it.
This article will cover two key areas:
- How to clean a pocket pussy properly
- How to store it safely to prevent odour and mould
By the end, you will know exactly how to maintain your toy and extend its lifespan.
How to Wash a Pocket Pussy Properly
Cleaning is one of the most important parts of owning a sex toy. The same applies to pocket pussies. Due to warmth and moisture, especially after ejaculation, bacteria can develop quickly if the toy is not cleaned correctly. The good news is that proper cleaning only takes a few minutes.
1) Step-by-step cleaning process
The cleaning process is straightforward and highly effective when done properly. Follow these simple steps to reduce hygiene-related risks:
- First, gently wash the sleeve with warm water and mild soap
- Then rinse thoroughly to remove any residue
- Finally, dry it carefully using a soft cloth and allow air drying
If your toy is made from silicone or other soft materials, extra care is recommended. Harsh cleaning agents may damage the surface. In most cases, a gentle, unscented soap is more than sufficient.
Different materials may require slightly different care, so it is important to understand what your toy is made of. If you are unsure, always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Over time, highly realistic materials may develop a slightly tacky texture. This is normal. Once fully dry, simply buff it lightly with a clean, dry cloth for a minute to restore smoothness.
2) Cleaning an Automatic or Electric Male Masturbator
If you own an automatic model, extra caution is required. Water and electrical components do not always mix, so always check whether your device is fully waterproof before cleaning.
If the unit is not waterproof, avoid submerging it. Instead, remove any detachable sleeve and wash it separately using warm water and mild soap. For the outer casing, use a slightly damp cloth and clean carefully around buttons and charging ports.
Some users prefer antibacterial wipes for the exterior, provided they are alcohol-free and safe for delicate materials.
If you are considering upgrading, choosing a waterproof automatic masturbator makes cleaning significantly easier and reduces long-term maintenance concerns.
3) When Should You Clean a Pocket Pussy?
This is one of the most common questions, and the answer is simple: clean your pocket pussy after every use.
Moisture and bodily fluids create the perfect environment for bacteria. Ideally, cleaning should take place as soon as possible after use to prevent build-up and unpleasant odours.
Although less frequently discussed, cleaning before use can also be beneficial. During storage, dust and residual moisture may accumulate if the toy was not dried completely. A quick rinse before use helps maintain optimal hygiene.
Failing to dry the toy thoroughly is one of the main causes of mould. If moisture remains inside the sleeve, mould may develop over time. Proper drying is therefore just as important as washing.
Maintaining Your Pocket Pussy Properly
Cleaning your toy is essential, but proper maintenance goes beyond washing alone. Regular inspection and correct storage are just as important if you want to prevent odour and mould and extend its lifespan.
1) Inspecting your toy before use
Before each use, take a moment to examine your male masturbator carefully. No cleaning method can repair physical damage, and using a worn or defective toy may lead to discomfort.
Cracks or splits: Small tears in the sleeve can trap moisture and bacteria. These areas are difficult to disinfect properly. If you notice structural damage, replacement may be the safest option.
Discolouration: Changes in colour can occur over time due to lubrication, light exposure or unsuitable cleaning products. While often cosmetic, storing your toy away from heat and direct sunlight can help minimise this.
Rough or uneven areas: Softer materials such as silicone may gradually lose their original smoothness. If texture changes begin to cause irritation, it may be time to consider replacing the toy.
2) How to Store a Pocket Pussy Safely
Once your toy has been cleaned, correct storage is essential. The first and most important step is ensuring it is completely dry.
Because internal sleeves can retain moisture, air drying for an extended period is usually the safest approach. Never store your toy while it is still damp, as this significantly increases the risk of mould.
After drying, keep it in a cool, dry place, ideally inside its original box or a dedicated storage container. If you own multiple toys, it is advisable to store them separately. Certain materials may react when kept in direct contact for long periods.
Has Your Toy Deteriorated?
All sex toys naturally wear over time, even with careful maintenance. Proper cleaning and storage will slow this process, but eventual replacement is normal.
If your current toy shows signs of damage or persistent odour despite correct hygiene, upgrading to a new male masturbator may be the safest solution.
