Why Cleaning Your Toys Matters

Let’s be real—your crystal dildo sees some intimate moments, so keeping it clean isn’t just about hygiene, it’s about self-care. A well-maintained rose quartz dildo or obsidian butt plug lasts longer, feels better, and keeps your body happy. Your care for your crystal dildo will bring you more joy, and the subsequent energy you'll get. 

Unlike porous materials like jelly or TPE, crystal dildos are non-porous, meaning bacteria don’t burrow into the material. However, that doesn’t mean you can skip the cleaning step!

How Often Should You Clean a Crystal Dildo?

The golden rule? Before and after every use.

But if you’re switching between partners or using it both vaginally and anally, sterilizing it is a must.

✔ Before Use – Quick rinse with warm water and a mild, unscented soap.
✔ After Use – Deep clean with soap and water, then sterilize with one of the methods below.

If your toy has been sitting in a drawer for a while, give it a wash before using it again—because dust and lint don’t belong in intimate moments.

The Best Ways to Sterilize a Crystal Dildo

1. Warm Water & Soap – The Easy Method

• Use mild, fragrance-free soap and warm water.
• Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel.
• Ideal for everyday use.

2. Boiling Water – A Deeper Clean

• Place your crystal sex toy in boiling water for 3-5 minutes.
• Remove with tongs and let it cool on a clean towel.
• Works great for quartz crystal dildos and amethyst dildos.

3. UV Light Sterilization – A Tech-Savvy Approach

• Use a UV sterilization box (like the ones made for baby bottles or cellphones).
• Place your crystal butt plug inside and let the UV light kill off bacteria.
• Safe and effective, no water required!

4. Isopropyl Alcohol or Hydrogen Peroxide – Disinfect Like a Pro

• Wipe the toy down with 70% isopropyl alcohol or 3% hydrogen peroxide.
• Rinse thoroughly with water afterward.
• This method ensures crystal anal plugs are germ-free.

What NOT to Do When Cleaning Crystal Sex Toys

🚫 No Harsh Chemicals – Avoid bleach, scented soaps, or anything that might erode the surface.
🚫 No Dishwasher – The extreme heat can cause cracks, even in obsidian crystal dildos.
🚫 No Leaving It Wet – Always dry it completely before storing.
