Swiss Navy toy and body cleaner, it is what I keep in my bathroom at home. I also have a smaller bottle in my bag. I had one here at my desk, but I used it up and have not yet replaced it. It is a very simple formula, a spartan six ingredients, but it works better and rinses cleaner than any other cleaner I have used in all of my years as a sex tool aficionado. I decided to scratch a bit and learn more about the ingredients in question.
Water: That is simple enough.
Propylene Glycol: This is a very common humectant. You’ll find it everywhere from medicine, to cosmetics, to food. It is also occasionally used as a binding agent.
Polysorbate 20: This ingredient is solution stabilizer often used in both pharmaceutical and bio-technical applications.
Phenoxyethanol: Here is the preservative for the mix. You’ll also find it in cosmetics and it is commonly used in vaccines.
Melaleuca Alternifolia oil (Tea Tree): We all know this one. In addition to it’s anecdotal efficacy as a salve for wounds, studies confirm it to be naturally anti bacterial, anti-fungal, and valuable in soothing swelling caused by allergic reactions.
Lavandula Angustifolia oil (lavender) Another old home remedy, lavender has been tested and confirmed to be both bacterial and anti-fungal, in addition to it’s light fresh scent.
Why is this one my personal go to? First, it’s important to note that it’s not just toy cleaner in my world. I use it on pretty much everything. I get honey on my fingers? Swiss Navy. My gauges are gross? Swiss Navy. Last night’s eyeliner -still- won’t come off? Swiss Navy. It cuts through anything, is gentle enough for the most tender of skin, and leaves nothing behind but a light herbal scent. Thick, sticky, oily, it really does not mater to this cleaner. While I don’t always bother to rinse, depending on how it was used, it does wash off cleanly without any effort. To make it even more convenient than it already is, we now have it in foaming and wipes as well.
