Platinum Silicone Is Durable — But Not Indestructible

Platinum-cured silicone is tough, but proper care keeps it in great shape for the long haul. Here's exactly what you need to know to protect your fascinumlab toy.

What to Avoid with Silicone Sex Toys

Platinum silicone is tough, but it has clear limits. Avoid the following:

  • Sharp objects and rough surfaces. Silicone can't handle being bitten, cut, or rubbed against rough surfaces. Once silicone gets a nick or tear, it can easily rip further.
  • Silicone-based lubricants. Silicone and silicone lube don't mix. Keep silicone lube away from your silicone toys.
  • Other toy materials. Silicone is sensitive to certain materials used in low-quality toys — vinyl and similar materials in particular. Always store your fascinumlab dildos separately from other dildos. We've heard from plenty of customers who stored other brands' toys next to their fascinumlab toys and ended up with cracked silicone, sticky surfaces, color bleeding, and weird smells.
Please note: We're not responsible for damage caused by contact or neglect resulting from ignoring these instructions. We work hard to make some of the best toys in the world from the highest-quality materials — but because of how silicone behaves (especially softer silicone), it can sometimes be sensitive to improper handling or environmental conditions.

Quick Tips & Storage for Dildos

  • Before first use: Wash thoroughly with soap and warm water.
  • During use: Use a high-quality water-based lubricant.
  • After use: Clean thoroughly to prevent bacteria and debris from building up on the surface. Soap and warm water are our go-to, but a stronger cleaner works too — just rinse it completely afterward. For extra convenience, you can even run it through the dishwasher. For a deep clean, soak in a 10% bleach solution for one hour, and use a sponge to scrub away any solid residue. Always rinse thoroughly and dry completely after cleaning.

Storage

Protect your toy when you store it. Our silicone toys are built to last, but keep them away from chemicals and anything rough. We recommend a sealed bag or a clean, dry towel, stored somewhere it won't get squished or exposed to spills. If you own multiple fascinumlab toys, a toy storage case is worth considering. And again — never store them alongside toys from other brands or made of other materials.

Tip: Silicone doesn't absorb water, but a damp pouch can breed mold. Make sure the toy is completely dry before storing.

Daily Cleaning: How to Wash Your Sex Toy

  • Wash after every use.
  • Rinse with warm water to remove surface residue.
  • Apply a small amount of mild, unscented soap.
  • Work the soap over the entire surface, including dips and the base of raised areas.
  • Rinse until no soap remains.
  • Gently pat dry with a lint-free cloth, or let it air-dry completely.

Don't store the toy in a damp pouch. Moisture won't soak into the silicone, but a damp pouch is a breeding ground for mold.

After every use · Everyday care

Deep Sanitizing Silicone Sex Toys

Sanitize before sharing, after anal use, or whenever a daily wash isn't enough.

Boiling

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
  2. Place a cloth at the bottom so the toy doesn't touch the hot metal directly.
  3. Submerge the toy for three to five minutes.
  4. Remove with tongs and let it cool on a clean towel.

Bleach Solution

  1. Mix one part unscented household bleach with nine parts cold water.
  2. Soak the toy for ten minutes.
  3. Rinse under running water for at least thirty seconds.
  4. Let it air-dry.

Use one method or the other. More chemicals isn't necessarily better.

Cleaning Dildos with a Cum Tube

Because our insertable toys don't come with a warranty, proper care matters even more. As we mentioned in the care section above, silicone that's been nicked or cut will keep tearing. To avoid cracking or ripping, don't overstretch the toy, and keep sharp objects — fingernails included — away from it.

Beyond the general care instructions, here are a few extra tips for cleaning insertable toys:

  • Hold the opening at the other end of the toy up to a regular faucet and flush with warm water.
  • Gently press on the inside of the toy with your fingers to make sure the water flushes it completely clean.
  • For a more thorough clean, follow up by soaking the toy in a 10% bleach solution for one hour, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Always let the toy air-dry completely after cleaning.

Key Facts

  • Platinum-cured silicone doesn't absorb water. This matters because residue stays on the surface, where it can be washed away — it doesn't soak into the material.
  • It can be sanitized by boiling or with a properly diluted household bleach solution. Unlike TPE, silicone doesn't break down. Because care and use vary, we don't put a lifespan on finished products.
