cleaning beads

My wife and I watched a tape last night that had a scene with anal beads.

The first thing my wife thought of was "How do you clean them?"

Since I have no clue, this thread.

How do you clean them?

Polident?

(seriously, it's probably not used often but it would work as well on anal beads as it does on dentures -- just don't clean them together. )

I'm sorry but I had to chuckle - I think that is the first thing every woman must think of!

I'm assuming the beads you are speaking of are the ones tied with a string? The jelly ones are much easier to clean!

First, it helps if the woman (or man, depending) has had a bowel movement and is pretty "empty" if you get my meaning. If so, there really shouldn't be all that much to worry about.

Second, the beads themselves wash clean with hot soapy water. The part you need to worry about is the string itself. I use a solution of bleach and water - and light on the bleach! Of course, it depends on the kind of string that is used - you certainly don't want to compromise it and have it potentially break! But I always test the string before I use my beads to make certain the string is sound.

Actually, if there has been a bowel movement, there is very little, if anything, to really clean. It's not as messy as most people think it is.

Ditto !! Now go get some and put them to good use. You'll both love them....

I think I read somewhere once that you could boil the beads (and if someone has experience with that or knows what I'm talking about, speak up!). I had two problems with that idea, the first being that I don't think repeated soaking and boiling could possibly be good for the string, and this is one string you really don't want to break. The other thing was that I couldn't imagine cooking food in that pot ever, ever again ...

I think every set of beads would be different when it comes to the effect of boiling/soaking/anti-bacterials/etc on the beads and strings.

Cheap plastic beads on plastic string would probably NOT stand up well to boiling or other high-temperature cleaning processes -- like putting them in the dishwasher.

Fine stone beads on heavy cotton or silk string could easily stand numerous boilings.

The best choice for cleaning probably comes on the instructions for care and handling enclosed in the bead's packaging.

Using cooking utensil for disgusting tasks is a huge psychologicol problem for many people, but if properly cleaned, there's no logical reason to wory about what has been in any particular pot before the current contents.

I thank all who replied.

The question was more than retorical. We use dildoes and butt plugs, and ocasionaly they pick up more than a bit of residue.

I have cronic diverticulosis with the resulting reloading on ocasion.

Hmmm...

I clean them with soap and water. Then, even though they are clean already, I put them in the top rack of the dishwasher. The heat of the water makes CERTAIN they are clean. And of course, all the dishes are clean, too.

Yeah, I agree with the polident thing. If you need to remove any erm...fragments..how about a denture brush? Polident kills 99.8% of all germs, including Staph, and E.Coli, which thrive in the intestinal tract. Trust me, my 2nd year med school thesis was on the effectiveness and clinical uses for polident in its solid form.

Hope I helped.

Water and germicidal soap here. It ought to suffice. I suppose one could put them in the washer--maybe in a lingerie bag to avoid them bumping around too much. Hey, people wash athletic shoes there. I washed a couple of pairs of athletic shoes in the washer just a few days ago. And just think of the places where shoes are liable to go. Really, it seems to me that if a sex toy has been washed prior to putting it in the dishwasher, the yuck association is psychological. But then some people have a problem with putting the pets' dishes in the dishwasher, or allowing the pets to pre-wash the plates before putting them in there. YMMV.
