How To Clean and Take Care of Your iroha Products

Why You Should Clean Your iroha Regularly

Just like anything else, it is important to clean your iroha products, or any self-pleasure items, on a regular basis. By cleaning self-pleasure products properly, not only are you extending the longevity of the item, but you are also doing yourself a favor. Unclean self-pleasure items can be a host for unwanted bacteria and other pathogens. 

When using unclean items, you are possibly introducing bacteria to your very sensitive and delicate intimate areas. This can then possibly lead to bacterial vaginosis or even urinary tract infection (UTI), and if you use your toys with multiple partners, it increases the chance of introducing STIs to one another. For a general hygiene rule, it is always good to clean your sex toys on a regular basis to avoid any unwanted infections.

Best Practice for Storing iroha Items

Now that we know how to properly clean your items, let’s learn how to best store iroha products.

First rule, we recommend storing all iroha items in places with good air ventilation and away from direct sunlight. Long exposure to direct sunlight might alter the color of the device. Second, please do not store them with insecticides, solvents, silicone items, or oil-based products, this could cause the item to become deformed. Lastly, it is best to avoid hot and humid places too as it could damage the item.

Depending on the products, some come in storage cases that also double as chargers, such as the iroha, iroha+, and iroha m&m series. Once the item is completely dried, it is recommended to store them in their case.

For items that don’t have a storage case, we recommend avoiding placing other heavy objects on top of the iroha device, as it might cause the item’s shape to become deformed.
