    I want to prevent my toys from damaging and having to replace them anyone have any good advice on how to keep them safe . I brought a dildo cleaner and lint free towels but how do I store them and keep them safe from harm . also I want to experiment with glass how do I care for that ?when I buy condoms how do I get the right size for it ?

    If it's mostly silicone, then soap and water works. You can also put them in boiling water, but I'd do that more of as a... monthly clean or something. Soap and water'd get most of it.

    As for condom size - You should have the specs (length, girth) of your dildo, so just pick the condom size that best suits those specifications. If it doesn't work, adjust the size of the condom you buy.

    The best way to keep them safe is to keep them in a place where they won't be messed with all the time and out of the sunlight.

    As for glass, cleaning is the same as silicone.

    I don't know if they sell cases made for a dildo but I think you can find a case that would fit your toy, e.g. a fabric pencil box. Or if you can sew you could make one yourself. When you buy condoms there's size written on the package, or you can find it on the Internet. I'd choose the size that fits best the size of your toy.

    I think I'll keep my old toy and just use condoms on it and save up for a better toy then throw it out . I'll look for a pencil box

    Maybe with glass, but if there's any leftover moisture on your dildo, I'd be weary of putting it in a plastic bag because it basically locks it in there and it could get funky real fast.
    Why not just leave it at home haha? I can't imagine carrying one around in my backpack.
