Cleaning and Maintenance Tips for Your Wand Vibrator

Because nothing ruins the magic like a dirty wand.

Love Your Wand, and It’ll Love You Longer
That wand vibrator of yours? It’s not just a toy—it’s your orgasm oracle, your full-body stress reliever, your go-to when your fingers or partner just can't keep up.

But even the most powerful pleasure tool needs TLC.

Whether you're wielding a corded beast, a rechargeable travel wand, or a waterproof wonder, proper cleaning and maintenance is the secret to keeping your wand safe, hygienic, and ready to rumble whenever you are.

Let’s break it down—step by step.

 

Step 1: Know Your Wand's Anatomy

Before you grab the soap and start scrubbing, you need to understand what your wand is made of.

  • Silicone Heads: Most modern wands come with body-safe silicone heads. These are non-porous and easy to clean, but sensitive to certain lubricants.
  • ABS Plastic Bodies: Durable and sleek, but not always waterproof.
  • Metal Accents: Often used on luxury wands. These can be wiped down but should avoid soaking.
  • Corded vs Cordless: Corded wands are rarely waterproof; cordless models may be water-resistant or fully submersible.

Check the user manual or product page to confirm whether your toy is splashproof, water-resistant, or waterproof. It makes all the difference.

 

Step 2: Clean After Every Use—No Exceptions

Whether you came once or ten times, cleaning your wand after every session is a must. Here’s how:

For Waterproof Wands:

  1. Rinse under warm water.
  2. Apply a gentle unscented, pH-balanced toy cleaner or mild antibacterial soap.
  3. Use your fingers (or a soft cloth) to clean all the creases and curves—especially around the head and neck.
  4. Rinse thoroughly.
  5. Pat dry with a clean, lint-free towel. Let it air-dry fully before storing.

For Non-Waterproof or Corded Wands:

  1. Unplug first. Always.
  2. Dampen a cloth with warm, soapy water or toy cleaner.
  3. Carefully wipe down the head and neck.
  4. Use a cotton bud or damp cloth to gently clean seams or textured areas.
  5. Never submerge the wand. Keep water away from the motor or charging port.

 

Step 3: What NOT to Do (Seriously—Don’t)

  • Don’t boil it. Even waterproof toys aren’t made for boiling water. It ruins the internal motor and melts plastic casings.
  • Don’t use harsh chemicals. Bleach, alcohol, acetone? Absolutely not. They can degrade silicone and compromise your wand’s safety.
  • Don’t put silicone lubricant on silicone heads. It can cause the material to become tacky, discoloured, or even break down. Use water-based lube instead.
  • Don’t store your wand while wet. Ever. Moisture = bacteria = no thanks.

 

Step 4: Storage Matters More Than You Think

  1. Once your wand is clean and dry, it’s time to store it smart.
  2. Use the pouch or storage bag your toy came with (or grab one made from lint-free fabric).
  3. Store in a cool, dry place—away from direct sunlight or heaters.
  4. Keep it separate from other silicone toys to prevent material breakdown or colour transfer.

Bonus Tip: If your wand has removable heads or attachments, store those separately and clean them thoroughly between uses too.

 

Step 5: Charge It Right, Not Rough

Cordless wands thrive on good battery habits.

  1. Don’t leave your wand permanently plugged in. Overcharging can damage the battery.
  2. Let it cool down before charging if it’s just been in heavy use.
  3. Store with a partial charge if you’re not using it for a while (ideal for long-term battery health).
  4. Use only the original charger supplied—no mixing and matching USBs, babe.

 

Step 6: Schedule a Deep Clean

If you’re using your wand regularly (we love that for you), schedule a deep clean once a month:

  1. Remove any attachments or sleeves and soak them in toy cleaner or warm soapy water (if waterproof).
  2. Inspect the wand’s surface for discolouration, tears, or texture changes.
  3. Gently buff the silicone head with a soft toothbrush to lift any trapped residue.
  4. Wipe down the handle and charging port with a microfibre cloth.
  5. Think of it like taking your wand to the spa.

 When to Say Goodbye

We hate to say it... but sometimes a wand has served its purpose and deserves a graceful retirement.

Consider replacing your wand if:

  • The silicone head is cracked, sticky, or permanently discoloured.
  • It won’t hold a charge or loses power quickly.
  • You notice odd sounds, weird smells, or motor issues.
  • It’s just not doing it for you anymore—and you’re ready to level up.

Wrap Up: Keep It Clean, Keep It Coming

Pleasure doesn’t stop when the orgasm does. When you take care of your wand vibrator—cleaning it properly, storing it safely, and charging it with care—you extend its life, preserve its power, and protect your body.

So treat your wand like the magical tool it is.

Because when you give it love... it gives it right back.
