Regular cleaning can be facilitated by the application of show-gel type soap and a good shower head to apply clean water. Cleaning in this way can be carried out on a daily basis and is effective at keeping your genitals clean without having to remove the device. Because most devices are constructed of either stainless steel or plastic, cleaning in this way will not adversely affect them.However, periodic removal of the device – usually under the direction of the other partner, and even for a few minutes at a time – can allow for a very thorough clean and ensure full hygiene.
