The Ultimate Guide to Cleaning a Pocket Pussy

What is a pocket pussy, you ask? Pocket pussies are a type of masturbation sleeve that enhances penile masturbation through suction, pressure, and texture. In the simplest terms, it’s a tube you fuck and nut in.

Now that you know what a pocket pussy is, you need to learn about the most important part of owning one: how to keep it clean. Properly cleaning and drying your pocket pussies is integral not just to the longevity of your favorite toy, but also to your health. Leaving any sex toy dirty, but especially pocket pussies, can lead to degradation and the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungus. Say it with me: "Ew."

A dirty pocket pussy can not only give you and/or your partner a gnarly infection, it’s also just plain gross. To avoid you falling into that pit of moist despair, here’s a handy guide for how to clean a pocket pussy. 

What you'll need to clean a pocket pussy:

• Mild soap (unscented, antibacterial)
• Warm water, preferably running
• Microfibre cloth or non-abrasive sponge
• Optional: Sex toy cleaner

Before you get started, be sure to double-check the product instructions for your specific pocket pussy! Not all pocket pussies handle soap of any kind well, like Fleshlight’s proprietary SuperSkin material. If your pocket pussy doesn't like soap, get a cleanser specifically made for sex toys. Double check the ingredients first to make sure they won't damage your toy.

Set yourself up next to the nearest sink, and keep the running water temp to a comfortable level of heat. Some sleeves can melt under too much heat for too long.

Remember, you need to get this thing bone dry afterwards, which is why you need a microfiber cloth or soft sponge. Also, stick to microfiber cloths or soft sponges. Things like hand towels or paper towels can leave tiny pieces stuck inside that stay moist and grow mold and mildew.

Don’t use a sponge with a scouring pad. You'll damage the inside of your pocket pussy, and no one wants that. 

How to Clean a Pocket Pussy

1. Gently remove the inner sleeve from the outer casing.
2. Under warm, running water, rinse out the inside thoroughly.
3. Use your fingers to widen the openings a bit, but be careful not to rip your pocket pussy. Gently rub the inside with your fingers to make sure no semen gets left behind.
4. Add gentle soap or sex toy cleaner to the inside and outside, and repeat the previous step. 
5. Optional (unless your pocket pussy doesn't play well with soap): Spray the inside and outside with an appropriate sex toy cleaner. 
6. Rinse off thoroughly.
7. Using a microfibre cloth or soft sponge, dry the sleeve completely inside and out.
8. When totally dried, set the sleeve in a clean, dry place.
9. Repeat all steps with the casing before reassembling the pocket pussy. 

Kinkly's Pro Tips

• Clean your pocket pussy after EVERY use!
• The steps above will work for a homemade pocket pussy, but you should always research the best way to clean the ones you bought from a company. Some materials require more care and cleaning pocket pussies from a certain company could require more attention. 
• For extra peace of mind, use a sex toy cleaning spray. 
• Research the materials being used to see what cleaning methods they can endure. Silicone can be sanitized in boiling water or the top rack of a dishwasher thanks to its heat resistance, whereas pocket pussies made from TPE should only be cleaned with warm water and mild soap. 
• Some companies sell tools to make drying easier, such as the Fleshlight Air. See if the company who made your pocket pussy has something to assist with drying.
• Always avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning products to keep your pocket pussy in good condition. 
• If your pocket pussy is damaged or worn out from all the action, you should probably replace it. Fluids can sneak into small cracks and tears in the sleeve and build up bacteria and mold over time. 

The Bottom Line

Now you know how to clean your pocket pussy properly, so you can keep it fresh and working great for longer!

Taking care of your pocket pussies is a major aspect of owning one. Neglecting to clean up after every spank session can lead to big problems. Your toy could become filthy and unsafe to use, with disgusting mold, fungus, and bacteria growing inside. And you don’t need to be a doctor to know putting your dick in moldy fungus could lead to serious infections. Those infections could spread to your partner, even if they don’t share toys with you. 

Not cleaning your pocket pussy will also lead to more wear and tear, rendering your homemade pocket pussy or the one you spent a fair chunk of change on useless.
