The male masturbator is by far the most used male sex toy, with millions of units sold annually. We can all agree that it has become an indispensable part of many men’s daily routines. It includes the pleasurable time and the not-so-pleasurable cleaning and drying it after you’ve done your business. Because the male masturbators mainly feature intricate inner textures, these can be challenging to clean and dry. Lucky for you, we have prepared the following guide on how to dry a male masturbator, and we share 6 essential tips that you can apply to ensure your male masturbator will remain in top shape and always be ready for you.

What Is a Male Masturbator?

The male masturbator is a sex toy that stimulates the penis, imitating penetrative sex. You can use one for solo playtime or even when you engage in partnered play. The male masturbator is created to enhance pleasure during masturbation with friction, grip, textured surfaces, vibrations, and other features. The name male masturbator is a general term, so you will also find these under names like pocket pussies, masturbation sleeves, rmale strokers, Fleshlights, and similar names. No matter the name, these are all designed to be penetrated and to provide enhanced sensations.

How to Clean a Male Masturbator?

Cleaning a male masturbator depends on the design and the material it is made from. For example, you can more easily clean an open-ended masturbator instead of a closed-ended model. To clean it, rinse it with warm water, then wash it with soap and water or use a sex toy cleaner. Rewash it with warm water and dry it. Please refer to our complete guide on how to clean a pocket pussy and other male masturbators, and read on to learn our tips and tricks on how to dry a male masturbator.

How to Dry a Male Masturbator?

You need to be diligent when washing and drying a male masturbator, as the inner textured surface poses a challenge, and water and moisture can get trapped and support mold and bacterial growth. Please note that you can also use these tips when washing and drying your pocket pussy, sex doll, Fleshlight, and inner sleeve from automatic male masturbators. Make sure you store your clean, dry masturbator in a clean, safe place!

Shake as much water from it as possible

When you finish washing your male masturbator, shake it to remove as much water as possible. By forcing as much liquid as possible, you facilitate the drying of the sleeve. It will also help remove water droplets from between the textured surfaces.

Leave it to air-dry

The best way is to leave the male masturbator to air dry. It is the least invasive technique, but please note that you must position the masturbator upright, allowing as much of the liquid inside to easily escape.

Dry it with a shammy

The shammy or chamois towel is a highly absorbent microfiber towel that we all have in our cars, and this is a perfect toy to dry a male masturbator. Please be careful to only use a clean shammy; slip it inside the inner tunnel of the stroker to get the most of the water out. You can also squeeze the stroker’s body around the towel to get the towel inside the textured grooves.

Dry it with a kitchen roll

When we are on the topic of using a cloth to dry the male stroker, another suitable option is to use a kitchen roll. The kitchen roll is made from specially treated paper that will not disintegrate when wet, which is what toilet paper does. That is why we recommend you take a piece of kitchen roll, roll it up, and push it inside the inner tunnel, getting as much moisture as possible. Leave it inside for a few minutes, remove it, and leave the male masturbator to fully dry.

Blow dry with a hairdryer

You can also dry your male masturbator with a hairdryer. But we need to remind you that you should have the hairdryer at the lowest temperature so you don’t overheat the sleeve. After you wash and pat the outer surface dry, aim the hairdryer at the opening and set the setting on cool or slightly warm, allowing the moisture to evaporate and escape.

Use a drying stick

Apart from leaving the male masturbator to air dry, the best way to thoroughly dry your stroker or pocket pussy is to use a drying stick. The drying stick is specially designed for this purpose, and after you wash and pat the stroker dry, you need to stick the drying stick inside and leave it on. Most well-made drying sticks plug into a phone charger via a USB cable, which makes them convenient and easy to use. Some more high-tech male masturbators come with a specially designed drying stand that significantly facilitates the drying of the interior tunnel.

How Not to Dry a Male Masturbator?

Now that we’ve covered the tips on how to dry a male masturbator, here are some drying ways that you should avoid:

  • Never boil your male masturbator – you may be tempted to boil your male masturbator in order to sterilize it better, but this is not recommended. The excess heat can damage the surface and even melt the texture, as most of these are made from TPE/TPR blends that are more heat-sensitive than silicone.
  • Never dry the male masturbator on a radiator – the heat from the radiator or a heating vent can cause the stroker’s sleeve to deform and lose its shape, basically destroying it instead of helping it dry.
  • Avoid rinsing it with alcohol – you may be tempted to rinse the interior of the male masturbator with rubbing alcohol, as it can prevent mold and disinfect the surfaces. However, the alcohol can have an adverse effect on the surface, and using it too often can damage the inner texture.
