Learn the correct way to clean your silicone rabbit vibrator to keep it hygienic, safe, and long-lasting. Step-by-step instructions for Lovehoney toys.
Quick answer
Clean your silicone rabbit vibrator with warm water and a mild, unscented soap or a dedicated toy cleaner after every use. Rinse thoroughly and let it air dry completely before storing.
Why proper cleaning matters for silicone rabbit vibrators
Silicone is a non-porous material that resists bacteria buildup, but it still traps oils, lubricants, and body fluids. The rabbit vibrator's dual-stimulation design — with a curved G-spot shaft and external clitoral ears — means more crevices where residue can hide. Skipping cleaning can lead to skin irritation or infections, especially if you share the toy.
The Lovehoney Frisky 10 Function G-Spot Silicone Rabbit Vibrator is fully waterproof, which makes cleaning straightforward. However, not all rabbit vibrators are waterproof, so always check your toy's specifications before submerging it.
What to avoid when cleaning silicone toys
Avoid harsh cleaners like bleach, alcohol, or abrasive scrubs — they can break down silicone over time. Silicone is also sensitive to silicone-based lubricants, so stick with water-based lubes to prevent surface damage. Never boil or dishwasher-clean a vibrator that has electronic components, even if it's waterproof.
Step-by-step cleaning guide
- Step 1: Rinse with warm water: Hold the vibrator under running warm water to remove surface lubricant and fluids. If your toy is not fully waterproof, use a damp cloth instead. Check your toy's waterproof rating first — submerging a non-waterproof vibrator can damage the motor.
- Step 2: Apply mild soap or toy cleaner: Use a small amount of unscented, mild liquid soap or a dedicated sex toy cleaner. Gently scrub the entire surface, including the shaft, clitoral ears, and any textured areas, with your fingers or a soft cloth. Avoid antibacterial soaps with triclosan — they can be too harsh for silicone and may cause irritation.
- Step 3: Rinse thoroughly: Rinse off all soap residue under warm running water. Leftover soap can cause irritation during next use. Make sure no suds remain in the crevices around the ears or the base of the shaft.
- Step 4: Dry with a lint-free cloth: Pat the vibrator dry with a clean, lint-free cloth or paper towel. Avoid using fabric softener-treated towels, as they can leave residue. Don't rub vigorously — silicone can attract lint if dried with a fuzzy towel.
- Step 5: Air dry completely before storing: Place the vibrator on a clean surface or hang it to air dry for a few minutes. Once fully dry, store it in a dust-free pouch or its original box away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Never store a damp toy — moisture promotes bacterial growth and can damage the motor over time.
