Top 5 Sex Toy Storage Lies
Did you buy a vibrator for Valentine's Day and need a gift box to store it in? Be cautious of articles claiming "Top 10 Places to Store Your Sex Toys." They are often misleading “listicles” and advertisements, not true advice.
Why Everything You've Read About Storing Silicone Sex Toys is Total Garbage! Here are the top 5 lies you've been told about sex toy storage.
LIE #1: It’s ok to store your sex toys in anything.
Wrong - Material compatability and safety is top priority. Storing your pleasure products, especially silicone ones, requires careful attention to material. Storing sex toys in the wrong container can damage their material and cause breakdown. Silicone toys need proper storage to maintain their integrity.
Joyboxx + Playtray sets the gold standard for cleaning and storage. It's a patented solution that protects your health and toys. We didn't just add a logo to a vinyl glitter bag. A woman spent years designing and patenting a complete system for toy care and storage.
Cheap bags labeled “vegan leather” can cause silicone to degrade. Avoid these low-cost options for long-term storage.
Storing silicone in anything other than food-grade polypropylene can result in degradation, stickiness, discoloration, and weakening.
LIE #2: THOSE CUTE FREE BAGS ARE GARBAGE!
Hello eco-sexual warriors, we know you are aren’t fooled. Once those cute free bags become dirty, sticky, or damaged (whether through cracking or a broken zipper), they are tossed and end up in landfills.
In contrast, Joyboxx is built to last and is 100% recyclable. It's the eco-conscious long-term solution that protects both your toys and the environment!
LIE #3 “VEGAN LEATHER” IS OK
No it’s CHEMICAL SOUP when combined with sex toys, body fluids and lube! “Vegan leather” is made of synthetic plastics like PU or PVC. These materials are harmful to you and the environment.
It’s not a safe or sustainable choice for storing sex toys. It can degrade quickly and release toxic chemicals.
Clear glass or food storage bins may work, but Joyboxx provides better protection and eco-conscious design features. Unlike toxic bags, Joyboxx uses food-grade polypropylene. It's non-porous, chemically inert, and naturally antibacterial, preserving your silicone toys.
Joyboxx + Playtray was created and patented to meet the unique needs of toy storage. It offers practicality and protection.
LIE #4 SILICONE POUCHES
Silicone pouches might seem safe but lack proper design features for long-term storage. Prolonged contact can cause reactions. Sex toy sales agents and manufacturers say never use silicone lube on silicone toys, so why is storing it safe? It’s not.
Silicone toys may become sticky or discolored over time in silicone pouches. No real research has been done on silicone pouch storage safety. While better than PVC, it's safer to use a soft fabric pouch inside.
Silk or fabric pouches prevent direct contact with silicone and protect your toys from potential degradation.
LIE #5 UV LIGHT BOXES ARE SAFE STORAGE
UV light breaks everything down and causes cancer. Why would you want to do that to your expensive $200 silicone vibrator?
Plus UV light doesn’t “clean” your toys, you have to scrub them with Joybuff and toy cleaner.
Glass lightbulbs can break on your toys. This is dangerous.
UV light storage boxes were one of the worst ideas ever for the safety of silicone sex toys. We can write an entire book on why this was a terrible storage idea but just look at this...want wire rack indentations in your vibrator after degredating the silicone? What if you forget your combo code (#1 problem for our customers). Just don't.
The Reality: No Real Alternatives to Joyboxx. To keep silicone toys in top condition, follow these best practices:
1. Separate Storage: Always store silicone toys away from different materials to prevent chemical reactions.
2. Non-Reactive Materials: Use glass, food-grade polypropylene (Joyboxx), or silicone containers for safe, long-term storage.
3. Clean Thoroughly: Clean your toys with toy-safe cleaner or anti-bacterial soap before storage.
4. Cool, Dry Place: Avoid high humidity, heat, or sunlight. These conditions can degrade your toys faster.
Final Word: Choose Joyboxx for the Best Health and Safety Protection. When it comes to storing your silicone sex toys, Joyboxx is truly the only safe and reliable choice. Don’t take chances with your toys or your health!
