It was quite embarrassing when I noticed that my dildo was slimy. I didn’t know what to think or what had happened. Had I not been careful enough and left out my new toy in the wrong place? How long had it been slimy? It made me feel unsure; like I didn’t trust my dildo or even my own caretaking. I had never experienced anything like this before and felt pretty disgusting.
Obviously, I had questions and nothing made sense. To figure out what was going on, I asked a few friends why my dildo could be slimy and they told me it could be either sweat, lube, or even bacteria. This knowledge was even more uncomfortable. I started to feel really frustrated. I was trying to look after my dildo properly, and yet it seemed like I had failed.
So, I decided to clean my dildo and make sure it was hygienic. Thankfully, cleaning the dildo didn’t take as long or as much effort as I thought it would. After I properly washed it and let it dry, it almost looked like nothing had ever happened. The dildo was as good as new and I felt reassured.
Now, I’m even more careful when it comes to looking after my dildo. I regularly clean it and always make sure it’s back in its rightful place after using it. I keep it away from the light, dust, and other elements. Furthermore, I ensure it’s properly lubricated for maximum pleasure. As embarrassing and slimy as it was, this experience taught me how to take better care of my dildo.
After more in-depth research, I found out that bacteria and lube are probably the most common things that make dildos slimy. I learned that both lube and bacteria can’t be seen with the naked eye, so you might not even know why the dildo is slimy. By understanding this, I’m now able to keep my dildo as clean as possible.
Additionally, I learned that by caring for my dildo, I can ensure that I’m being safer when it comes to sex toy usage. It’s important for all of us to be responsible with our sex toy usage and to make sure we take the proper steps to keep them hygienic. This isn’t just true for dildos, but for other sex toys too.
As a result of understanding why my dildo was slimy, I also found out that using a water-based lubricant is more hygienic than a silicone-based lubricant. So, I make sure to use only water-based lubricants so that there are no slimy surprises. Moreover, I always clean my dildo before and after use, and I never store it in damp places.
To make sure other people don’t experience the same confusion and frustration I did, I often suggest to my friends to take extra step to keep their dildos clean. I always recommend them to buy a higher-quality dildo and make sure to clean it after every use. I also advise them to be mindful of their sex toy usage and to store it properly.
I think it is also important to understand that our bodies can be sensitive to some lubes and make sure to check the ingredients of your lube. If you’re not sure what kind of lubricant to use, you can always consult your doctor. My friend told me she uses an organic lube, and those are usually a safe bet. Finally, I also recommend people to always consult the manufacturer’s instructions in order to prevent a slimy dildo.
