Clean and dry a manual sleeve
Compare care access before choosing a design.
Check whether the sleeve comes out
Some sleeves are the entire product and others sit inside a shell. Remove or turn a sleeve inside out only when its instructions allow it. Use the cleaning product and method specified by the manufacturer.
Read the drying instructions
Follow the instructions for drying the channel and any separate shell. Store the parts only once they are dry. If the maker supplies an insert or drying stand, use it as directed.
Check for wear
Look for tears, a damaged valve or a surface that cannot be cleaned as directed. Ask the manufacturer about replacement. See Planned Parenthood’s toy care guide for general cleaning and barrier information.
