How Should I Store My Sex Toys Properly?

Proper sex toy storage is just as important as cleaning your toys. Storing your vibrators, dildos, anal toys, strokers, and couples’ toys the right way helps protect your health, extend the life of your toys, and keep everything discreet and ready for use.

At Cupid Boutique, your trusted Canadian Owned & Operated adult store, we often get asked how to store sex toys safely at home. Here’s a complete, beginner-friendly guide for Canadians.

Why Sex Toy Storage Matters

Improper storage can cause:

  • Bacteria buildup

  • Dust and lint sticking to toys

  • Material damage

  • Chemical reactions between toys

  • Faster wear and tear

Storing sex toys correctly keeps them hygienic, body-safe, and long-lasting.

Store Sex Toys Only After Cleaning

Before storing any toy, always:

  • Wash with warm water and mild soap or toy cleaner

  • Rinse thoroughly

  • Dry completely

Never store sex toys while damp. Moisture can trap bacteria and lead to mold or odor.

This applies to:

  • Vibrators

  • Dildos

  • Anal plugs

  • Prostate massagers

  • Cock rings

  • Pocket pussies and strokers

Store Sex Toys Separately

One of the biggest mistakes people make is storing toys together.

Why You Should Never Let Toys Touch:

  • Silicone toys can chemically react with other silicone toys

  • Soft materials can melt or warp

  • Bacteria can transfer between toys

Each toy should be stored individually.

Best options:

  • Individual toy bags

  • Satin or cotton pouches

  • Zip bags

  • Hard storage cases

Best Storage Options for Sex Toys

1. Toy Bags & Pouches

These are ideal for:

  • Vibrators

  • Dildos

  • Anal toys

They protect from dust, lint, and scratches.

2. Lockable Storage Cases

Perfect if you:

  • Live with roommates

  • Have children

  • Want extra discretion

Many cases look like makeup bags or tech organizers.

3. Drawer Storage

If using a drawer:

  • Use drawer dividers

  • Store toys in bags

  • Keep away from heat

Avoid storing toys loose in drawers.

How to Store Vibrators Safely

For vibrators:

  • Turn the toy OFF

  • Use travel lock if available

  • Remove batteries from battery-operated toys

  • Store charging cables separately

Rechargeable vibrators should be stored dry and powered off to preserve battery life.

How to Store Anal Toys Safely

Anal toys require extra hygiene care.

Tips:

  • Always store anal toys separately from vaginal toys

  • Use individual pouches

  • Avoid shared storage containers

This prevents cross-contamination and keeps play safe.

How to Store Pocket Pussies & Strokers

Male masturbators need special care.

Steps:

  • Clean thoroughly after use

  • Allow to fully air-dry

  • Lightly dust with renewal powder or cornstarch

  • Store in breathable packaging

Never store strokers wet or sealed in airtight containers.

Where NOT to Store Sex Toys

Avoid storing toys:

  • In bathrooms (humidity)

  • Near heaters or windows

  • In direct sunlight

  • Loose in purses or bags

Heat and moisture degrade materials quickly.

Discreet Storage for Shared Homes

If privacy is important:

  • Use lockable cases

  • Choose neutral-looking bags

  • Store toys with cosmetics or tech items
