If you are a fan of the textured canal inside of a Fleshlight sleeve, it’s important to clean and sanitize it properly. That means removing the sleeve from its case, running warm water through it, spritzing it with Fleshwash (a toy cleaner that won’t erode the material), and then letting it dry thoroughly.
Soak it
There are lots of things that can degrade a flesh light, so it’s really important to clean it as soon as possible. Otherwise, you’ll end up buying a new one before too long. The best thing you can do is use a bit of isopropyl alcohol and some warm water to wash it. This will get rid of any bacteria that’s hanging around inside.
It’s also important to note that you can’t use any sort of soap with a flesh light, since it will destroy the material. Instead, it’s recommended that you use isopropyl alcohol or Fleshlight’s Refresh spray.
Using a cloth, apply some isopropyl alcohol to both the inside and outside of the case. Then, run a bit of warm water through the inside of the case, making sure to get all of the nooks and crannies. Once you’re done with this, it’s a good idea to run some more warm water through the sleeve.
Then, you can use some renewing powder (or cornstarch) to keep the sleeve feeling silky smooth and help fight off any odors. Finally, let the sleeve dry before you put it back in its case.
Wipe it
Fleshlights have many nooks and crannies that can hide lube, sperm, and other residue. Using a washcloth or rag soaked in hot water and wrung out, go over the entire surface of your toy. This will help to ensure that it’s clean and ready for playtime the next time you want to use it. It’s best to use a cleaning solution that was created for the specific type of toy you have, as this will make sure that it doesn’t react with the material. However, you may find that a generic toy cleaner like Lovehoney’s Fresh works just as well for most people.
It’s important to avoid using any sort of soap or hand sanitizer when cleaning a flesh light, as these products can damage the patented texture of the insert. It’s also a good idea to avoid any sort of alcohol-based lubricant, as it can eat away at the compound over time. Instead, choose a toy cleaner that is made specifically for Cyberskin.
Once your toy is fully cleaned and dry, it’s time to put it back together! Be sure to place the smaller end cap on first, followed by the slimmer end of the sleeve. Once all of the pieces are in place, you can give them a firm tug to make sure that they are securely locked in.
Dry it
Leaving your Fleshlight dirty can lead to a yeast infection in the vulva, urinary tract infections, and even impotence. The best way to prevent these issues is to clean and dry your toy after each use.
Run it under hot water for a few minutes. This will flush away lube, bodily fluids, sperm and other contaminants. You may want to add a little mild soap (like you would with any other household cleaner) to help break up any lingering residue.
When you’re done rinsing, let your sleeve drain completely. This is the most important step of the whole process. You don’t want any residual moisture trapped in your sleeve because it can cause the Cyberskin material to degrade over time.
If you need a little extra help drying your flesh light, stick it in front of a fan or AC unit and thread a slender towel (like one of those microfiber towels or a flour sack dish towel) through its length to wick away any excess moisture. This will also help prevent the spread of any mold, which is another thing you’ll want to avoid at all costs.
Once your sleeve is completely dry, it’s ready to be refreshed! You can use the same renewing powder you used on your old sleeve, though it might smell a bit different this time.
Put it back together
You want to make sure your Fleshlight is completely dry before storing it, because wet toys promote the growth of bacteria and mold. This can affect the texture and smell of your toy, as well as making it unpleasant to use. If you have a dirty, moldy fleshlight it’s also possible that you could become sick from using it.
To get your Fleshlight clean, start by running it under warm water. This is best done in the kitchen sink so you can control the amount of pressure. You want to make sure all visible cum and lube is gone, but don’t turn the water up too high – hot water can damage the material of your Fleshlight.
With the case open and the sleeve removed, run warm water right through it. Don’t use soap, as this can degrade the material of your toy. Alternatively, you can add a little cleaner to the water, but be careful as too much can leave your Fleshlight feeling sticky and tacky, which is not how you want it!
Once you’ve rinsed your Fleshlight, let it dry by itself, preferably in an area with some airflow. Once it’s dry, you can re-insert the insert and put the case back on. Afterwards, you might want to apply some corn starch to keep your sleeve feeling silky smooth and fight bacteria.
