How to Clean a Pocket Pussy: Guide & Tips

What Is a Pocket Pussy?

A pocket pussy is a male masturbation toy that was crafted to look like an actual vaginal opening; however, there are pocket pussies that have mouth or anal openings. The intention is to offer men the option to masturbate using this toy rather than their hand and experience a more realistic, pleasurable experience. Apart from the simplest pocket pussy shapes that feature a one-piece simple design, you can find more advanced models like porn star masturbators, masturbation sleeves, anal masturbators, blowjob masturbators, automatic masturbators, etc.

Step-by-Step Pocket Pussy Cleaning Guide

Keeping your sex toys clean is one of the most important aspects of using them, and should you neglect to regularly and thoroughly clean your pocket pussy, it will probably become moldy, and you’ll have to replace it a lot sooner than necessary. So, here is the step-by-step guide on how to clean your pocket pussy:

• Rinse all residue – before you can wash your pocket pussy, make sure you thoroughly rinse it under running water. If it is an open-ended model, run it under the stream to remove the residue. If you have a close-ended model, then you can fill it up with warm water and leave it upside down, forcing the lube and other residue to leak out.
• Apply soap or sex toy cleaner – once most of the residue is gone, you need to add the soap or your chosen sex toy cleaner. Make foam and allow the soap/cleaner to cover all the surfaces of the pocket pussy, inside and outside.
• Gently scrub the surface – we recommend you get a soft bristle brush that will allow you to get into all the crevices of the pocket pussy and remove any leftover residue. Don’t press the brush too hard, as it may damage the surface of the pocket pussy, but be gentle and thorough.
• Rinse with warm water – as you can note, we are emphasizing rinsing with warm water and avoiding hot water, as too much heat can damage the pocket pussy. Let water run for several seconds through an open-ended pocket pussy; rinse your close-ended pocket pussy several times to remove soap and foam.
• Optional: Disinfect – after you’ve washed your pocket pussy thoroughly, you can also disinfect it with an antibacterial solution, but this step is optional.
• Dry fully – leave your clean pocket pussy to dry completely before putting it away. We recommend you lay it down on a dry, lint-free towel or paper towel, letting all water escape. The open-ended models tend to dry faster, while the close-ended pocket pussies need to be left upside down, with the entrance pointing down, so gravity can do its thing. You can also help dry it by mopping up most of the moisture with a lint-free towel.

Cleaning Different Pocket Pussy Materials

Before we continue with our pocket pussy cleaning tips and tricks, we need to pay some attention to the materials your pocket pussy is made from. Most often, the pocket pussies are made from TPE, TPR, PVC, or silicone, and each manufacturer has detailed cleaning instructions about their product. Still, here we share a quick guide on how to clean each material:

• Cleaning a TPE pocket pussy – TPE is a soft, flexible material that is often used to make pocket pussies because it feels great to touch. But this material is slightly porous and can be very challenging to clean, especially between the textured grooves found in the interior channel of the pocket pussies. It may require renewal powder or cornstarch powdering to help restore the TPE pocket pussy’s surface.
• Cleaning a TPR pocket pussy – TPR is a synthetic material that can be highly realistic and lifelike, and it is often found under the name FantaFlesh. However, this is a porous material that is also challenging to clean, and you have to be very diligent when washing a pocket pussy made from FantaFlesh. Also, it may require a coat of renewal powder or cornstarch to prevent the surface from becoming sticky.
• Cleaning a Cyberskin pocket pussy – Cyberskin is the commercial name for a synthetic blend between silicone and PVC, and this is one of the most realistic feeling materials you can find, which is why it is often used to make sex toys like dildos and pocket pussies. The downside is that it is porous, and you must be very thorough and meticulous when cleaning it, as it also needs milder soap. Also, Cyberskin needs renewal powder or cornstarch to prevent the surface from becoming sticky.
• Cleaning a silicone pocket pussy – silicone is one of the best materials for sex toys as this is a non-porous material that is easy to wash. Simply rinse the silicone pocket pussy with water and wash it with soap/sex toy cleaner, wash again with water, and leave it to dry.

Do’s and Don’ts for Easy Pocket Pussy Cleaning

We outlined the general info on how to clean a pocket pussy so you can have a clean, safe toy to use every time. However, we must share some essential do’s and don’ts that we found to be very helpful when cleaning a pocket pussy:

• Do use a condom when using a pocket pussy – putting a condom on when you masturbate with a pocket pussy can be of great help, as it can make you last longer, and it will undoubtedly facilitate cleaning the pocket pussy.
• Do clean the pocket pussy right after use – for best results, we recommend you wash your pocket pussy right after you use it. However, if you want to enjoy the afterglow of a great orgasm, you can postpone the cleaning by one hour or so. You can get away with this timeframe, but anything beyond will cause the residue and grime to dry into the grooved texture, which may render the pocket pussy unusable.
• Do rinse the pocket pussy with warm water several times – rinse the pocket pussy with warm water several times before you apply the soap, as semen and lube easily dissolve in water.
• Do use kitchen paper rolls to draw away moisture from the inner channel - kitchen paper rolls are made from specially-made paper that does not leave lint behind. Roll up a piece of this paper and squeeze it inside the channel, drawing up much of the moisture, then use a new piece of paper and repeat this several times. You can leave a paper towel inside overnight to help dry it completely.

• Don’t turn the pocket pussy inside out – you may be tempted to try and turn the pocket pussy inside out for easy cleaning. This is a big No, as no matter how flexible the pocket pussy may look, inverting it inside out will most likely cause you to stretch and tear the surface. Even if you succeed in this once, it is still a significant risk, and you will cause the material to weaken and shorten the pocket pussy’s lifespan.
• Don’t use pre-lubricated condoms with a pocket pussy – if you decide to use a condom with your pocket pussy, avoid the pre-lubricated models as these may have hybrid or silicone lubes that can damage the inner texture and leave extra mess to clean out. If you use condoms, go for models that have water-based lubes.
• Don’t wash with bleach or boil in water – we all know that bleach kills mold and bacteria, as does warm water, but these also can kill the pocket pussy and render it unusable. That is why we emphasize cleaning your pocket pussy with warm water and mild soap; harsh detergents will most definitely deteriorate the surface of the toy. The same goes for boiling water, as it will most likely misshape the pocket pussy, so always wash it with lukewarm water, which you can test with your hand – if you can stand the warm water on your skin, it is okay to clean the toy.
• Don’t use regular towels to dry the pocket pussy – when you’ve washed your pocket pussy, always use lint-free or microfiber towels to mop up the moisture. Regular bathroom towels are made from cotton that has tiny fibers that can stick and contaminate the interior of the pocket pussy.
• Don’t dry it with a hair dryer – you may think that you can simply dry the pocket pussy with a hair dryer. It is possible to speed up the drying with a hair dryer, but you need to use it on the lowest setting and be careful, as excess heat will damage the toy, the same as boiling water. It is best to leave the pocket pussy to air-dry, as it is the least likely to get damaged.

Pro Tip: Always check the pocket pussy for problems before you use it. Check for smell, texture, and color changes, as these are indicators that something is wrong.
