Silicone Dilator, Wand and Lubricant Care in a Bundle

A step-by-step routine for cleaning, drying and storing silicone dilators, pelvic wands and lubricant when they arrive together in a bundle. Includes the mistakes that shorten product life.
Quick answer
Clean each silicone item with a mild, unscented soap and warm water immediately after use, dry it fully before storage, and keep lubricant sealed and away from heat. Treat the dilators, wand and lubricant as three separate care jobs rather than one shared wash-and-store routine.
Why a bundle needs separate care rules
Silicone dilators and pelvic wands tolerate gentle soap and water, but lubricant does not belong in the same wash basin. Water-based lubricant can be diluted or contaminated if the bottle is opened near a wet sink, and silicone-based lubricant can leave a film that is harder to rinse from textured wand surfaces.
The bundle format also means you may not use every item on the same schedule. A dilator used daily needs a quick wash-and-dry after each session, while a wand used occasionally still needs a full clean before and after storage. Lubricant care is mostly about the bottle, not the product inside: keep the cap closed, wipe the threads, and store it upright.
When to replace rather than clean
Cleaning extends life but does not repair damage. Inspect silicone items for tacky spots, cracks at the base, or a persistent odor that returns after washing. Those signs mean the surface has broken down, and continuing to use the item risks irritation.
Lubricant has its own expiry signal: a changed texture, separation, or a sharp smell. If the bottle has been open for a long time or stored in a warm bathroom, replace it rather than topping it up with water.
Your step-by-step silicone and lubricant care routine
- Wash each silicone item separately: Use warm water and a small amount of mild, unscented soap. Wash dilators and wands one at a time so you can feel the whole surface, including the base and any curve or handle. Common mistake: soaking several items together in a full sink, which hides cracks and makes rinsing incomplete. Check each item for tackiness or cracks while it is wet, when flaws are easiest to see.
- Rinse until the surface feels squeaky: Hold the item under running warm water and rub the surface gently with your fingers. Soap residue can leave a slippery film that attracts lint and irritates skin. Common mistake: assuming a quick dip is enough after a thick lubricant. If the surface still feels slick after rinsing, wash and rinse again before drying.
- Dry completely before storage: Pat the item with a clean, lint-free cloth or let it air-dry on a clean towel. Pay attention to the base, any suction cup, and the seam where the silicone meets a handle. Common mistake: putting a damp dilator back into a pouch or drawer, which traps moisture. Store only when the surface feels dry to the touch, not just visually dry.
- Keep lubricant sealed and upright: Wipe the bottle threads after each use, close the cap firmly, and store the bottle upright away from direct heat and sunlight. Common mistake: leaving the cap off near a sink or shower, where splashes and steam can get in. If the lubricant texture or smell changes, replace the bottle instead of adding water.
- Give each item its own storage spot: Keep dilators and wands in a clean, dry pouch or container that lets air circulate, and store lubricant and suppositories separately. Common mistake: tossing everything into one bag where a leaking bottle can coat silicone items. Label or separate bundle items so you can check each one before and after use.
Bundle care at a glance
- Vaginal Health Accessory Bundle (GS): The Vaginal Health Accessory Bundle (GS) includes a bottle of 30 Boric Balance Suppositories alongside its other accessories. Suppositories are not washed like silicone items, so store them separately from damp dilators and wands to keep the bundle organized and dry.
