How to Clean and Store Your Parasite Silicone Toy

Quick answer

Wash your Parasite toy with mild soap and warm water before and after each use, then store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and other silicone toys.

Step-by-step cleaning and storage routine

1. Rinse with warm water: Hold your Parasite toy under warm running water to remove any dust or hair. For matte finishes, pay extra attention to crevices where particles can hide. Common mistake: using hot water can damage silicone over time. Stick to warm.
2. Wash with mild soap: Apply a small amount of unscented, mild liquid soap to your hands or a soft cloth. Gently lather the entire toy, especially the head and shaft. Avoid antibacterial soaps with harsh chemicals. Checkpoint: rinse thoroughly so no soap residue remains, which can cause irritation.
3. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth: Use a microfiber or other lint-free towel to gently pat the toy dry. For Super Soft silicone, do not rub vigorously as this can create friction and attract more lint. Common mistake: using a terry cloth towel leaves fibers on the toy.
4. Store in a breathable bag or container: Place the clean, dry toy in a cotton storage bag or a ventilated container. Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and other silicone toys to prevent material degradation or sticking. Checkpoint: if you store multiple toys, separate them with a cloth to avoid silicone-on-silicone contact.

Product facts

• Medium Parasite -- Medium silicone -- PAR-56: Medium Parasite in Medium (0050) firmness comes in matte colors with small surface flaws from the mold. The matte finish and tiny surface details can hold onto dust, so rinsing before each use helps keep the toy clean.

  

• Large Parasite -- Super Soft silicone -- PAR-57: Large Parasite in Super Soft (0020) silicone measures 9 inches total length with a 2.5-inch widest shaft diameter. The very soft silicone is more prone to attracting lint and requires careful handling during cleaning and storage.
