Yeah

My girlfriend came over for sexy times last week, lost her vibe amidst those sexy times, and is coming over again for some more sexy times in four hours, wherein I will probs be using the vibrator

I have literally just found it about an hour ago. It was on my floor (carpeted)

How do I wash this thing

    If it's waterproof, hot water and antibacterial hand soap.

    If it isn't waterproof, carefully with hot water and antibacterial hand soap.

    Take the batteries out first, and don't use anything to scrub it.

    Vibrators aren't always waterproof. But that's an awesome story.

    You should ask your girlfriend if it is. Hopefully she knows.

    Dildos usually are fine in the dishwasher, it depends on the materials. Vibrators should not go in the dishwasher. Waterproof means it can be fully submerged, but even if it isn't waterproof doesn't mean water will hurt it. Remove the batteries, wash with soap and water, buff to a high shine, and make sure its dry before you put batteries back in.

    For the care and feeding of sex toys, this link should help:

    http://www.goodvibes.com/content.jhtml?id=Sex-Toy-Material-Cleaning

    By the way, you said in the other thread that it's hard plastic, but just in case other folks are reading this... some soft rubber or silicone blend products will be stained by soap (and silicone lube) and some porous materials don't dry quickly. The stain is harmless; the dampness (which can be a refuge for yeast or other nasty stuff) isn't.

    So if it's cheap and soft, make sure you give it enough time to try, but don't fret too much if it ends up discolored from your soap (or lube).

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    Wait...there are vibrators that aren't waterproof? Why...you know what. Nevermind.

    Sex toys are pretty much built to go into moist-ish areas, but fully waterproof means you could essentially turn the vibrator on and hop into the tub for some fun.

    if it's silicone (and non-electronic, so not a vibrator), this is an excellent way to clean it

    You're not supposed to use regular soap on latex or silicone toys. The folks at the Fleshlight Company recommend rubbing alcohol.
