"All these wonderful toys and not a single one that requires no clean up. Million dollar and multimillion orgasm idea right there."
Where to start
There are a lot of different sex toys out there, and in order to get the most bang for your buck (literally) it's a good idea to learn the ins and outs of your toy, and how to clean it efficiently and effectively. The first thing you want to look at is how you're using the toy, and if you're using it correctly. For example, a silicone butt plug should never be used with silicon lube. Not only will the lube wear away the butt plug, but it is also potentially dangerous to your personal health as well. The three basic types of lube are water based, silicone based, and oil based. The textures are thin and somewhat slippery, thicker and stickier, and thickest and stickiest, respectively. It’s important to keep safety in mind too. Water based lube can be used with anything, and oil based lube can’t be used without damaging a condom.
It’s a good idea to make sure any butt plugs or dildos you will be buying are not very porous. This makes them much easier to clean and maintain. You’ll also want to keep an eye out for hypo-allergenic products, as these tend to be much easier to clean. Having some wet-wipes handy is more useful than you may think (or even some of the Edenwipes, which are great even though they’re a tad pricy) for any clean-ups or accidents. This eliminates the lingering “ugh I still need to clean this thing” post-orgasm feeling, which admittedly does suck.

It is displayed for all of their products in the specific product information box. The scale goes from 1 to 10 in order of how safe a product is. This includes what it’s made of, how flexible it is, and where/when it can be used. This is a very practical and useful feature, but it should not be enough to drive you away from a product with a low material safety rating. I recommend you take it with a grain of salt, but if you are looking for a product that is effective and easy to clean and maintain, EdenFantasys is a great place to start.
So once you’ve narrowed down your choices to a few toys, I think it’s time to consider ease of cleaning and cleanliness. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a neat freak but I certainly do not think that an easy to clean toy is better than a tough one just for conveniences sake. Feeling and quality of the toy should take priority. If you can find glass, this would be my number one recommendation. Glass is sturdy, easy to clean, and can be used with any kind of lubes/soaps out there. It is also pleasantly cool and warms quickly. Pure silicone is my second recommendation. It’s very flexible and 100% non-porous. It’s also hypo-allergenic, odorless, tasteless, and sterilizable. Any other materials fall flat in comparison to these, in my honest opinion. A simple wipe down with a wet-wipe is enough to clean these toys, which you can do without even getting up.
