After being thoroughly disappointed with the Sex Clean Toy Cleaner I was sent to review I picked up this Anti-Bacterial Toy Cleaner on the fly when at a local shop.

In looking into some of the ingredients, however, I was a little disappointed though not surprised. This toy cleaner uses triclosan to kill bacteria though also has Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone within it both of which are supposed to be somewhat anti-bacterial and both of which are irritants. Granted, this cleaner isn’t going directly on you and only a small part amount of it will be getting on you at all, but that was still a little worrysome.

Due to this I have taken to using the spray cleaner directly after use of a toy for ease of clean-up and the convenience of being able to spray-clean a toy without having to get out of bed post use. However, before using the toy again I make sure to wash it, just to be extra careful about the irritants coming in contact with my sensitive bits. Is this overly cautious? Maybe. However, since I’ve had reactions to chemicals in my cunt before (can we say ow?) I am a fan of erring on the side of caution.

I really do like this spray, however, irritants aside. I admit I haven’t delved into the information on every single ingredient yet, but for the most part I think it’s super convenient and a great way to clean toys. Not everyone is as overly cautious about chemicals as I am as well, and I still rate it at a four regardless of potential reactions. I say, if you’re looking for a toy cleaner spray (and who isn’t?) this is a great one to go for!

I’ve been interested in toy cleaner sprays and wipes for quite some time, but never went about getting one until recently. I was attracted to the Sex Clean Toy Cleaner because it advertised as having a natural vegetable base which I also took to mean it wouldn’t have any nasty chemicals in it.

Unfortunately, I was wrong. It does have a natural base but it also has parabens in it, which I’ve talked about in my recent lube reviews. I’m just not a fan of parabens having any sort of contact with my sensitive nether bits.

Supposedly in addition to cleaning your toys Sex Clean Toy Cleaner will also polish and protect your toys. It has a “special embellishing and protecting formula” which is a little strange, and not something I, personally, want my toy cleaners to do. I think cleaners should simply clean the toy not add some extra chemicals to it that polishes and protects them.

Sex Clean Toy Cleaner does, however, clean toys well and conveniently, even with the polishing and even though it’s not anti-bacterial. A few sprays and a quick wiping with a paper towel or something similar and the toy is clean. There’s no worry about getting non-waterproof toys wet and accidentally ruining them.

There’s also no need to get out of bed after a good vigorous toy session, which is the best part. Toys should always be cleaned before and after use to keep them healthy, especially if they are made out of a porous material but even if they aren’t it’s best to keep them clean. I love the idea of a cleaning spray or wipe that alleviates the need to break up the wonderful afterglow to go clean the toy, which made me extra disappointed that I didn’t like this spray.

After being disappointed with the Sex Clean Toy Cleaner I received I went out and bought a bottle of Anti-Bacterial Toy Cleaner (review to come) and although it has more ingredients which I cannot pronounce in it I like it much better. If you are looking for a spray toy cleaner I’d definitely go with the Anti-Bacterial Toy Cleaner instead of the Sex Clean Toy Cleaner unless you have a particular desire for polishing your toys and don’t mind the parabens.

Much thanks to Pink Cherry for letting me review Sex Clean Toy Cleaner!
