Njoy Pure Wand Care Guide: Cleaning Stainless Steel Sex Toys and Storage
By Jake Turner · Senior Editor · April 2025
The Njoy Pure Wand is made from medical-grade 316-grade stainless steel — a non-porous, body-safe material that is among the easiest to clean of any sex toy material. Stainless steel has unique care properties compared to silicone toys: it can be fully sterilized, is compatible with any lubricant type, and has no charging requirements. Here’s the complete care guide.

Why Stainless Steel Is Different
Medical-grade 316 stainless steel (the grade used by Njoy) is completely non-porous, non-reactive, and corrosion-resistant. Unlike silicone toys, it contains no plasticizers and does not interact chemically with lubricants. It can withstand boiling, dishwasher cycles, and disinfectant solutions. This makes the Pure Wand among the most hygienic toy materials available when properly maintained.
The trade-off is weight — the Pure Wand is heavy (about 1.5 pounds), and it conducts temperature, requiring attention to warm-up and cool-down before use.
Cleaning Methods
Standard cleaning: wash with warm water and mild soap or sex toy cleaner. The non-porous surface is fully accessible to soap and water — there are no textures where bacteria can hide. Rinse thoroughly, dry with a clean cloth. The Pure Wand can also be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol (70%) wiped across the surface and allowed to air dry.
Sterilization Options
Unlike silicone or ABS plastic toys, the Njoy Pure Wand can be fully sterilized between uses or between partners:
Boiling: Submerge in boiling water for 3–5 minutes. Remove with tongs and place on a clean towel to cool and dry.
Dishwasher: Top rack, without soap (detergent residue is difficult to fully rinse from a heavy stainless item). Run a rinse-only cycle or the sanitize cycle if your dishwasher has one.
10% bleach solution: Submerge for 10 minutes, rinse thoroughly with water, dry.
These sterilization methods fully eliminate pathogens, making the Pure Wand appropriate for use between multiple partners when sterilized between uses.
Lubricant Compatibility
Stainless steel is compatible with all lubricant types: water-based, silicone-based, and oil-based. The silicone-degrades-silicone restriction does not apply. Many users prefer silicone-based lubricants with the Pure Wand because their longer-lasting consistency pairs well with the wand’s rigid nature. Oil-based lubricants are also fine but require more thorough cleaning to fully remove.
Temperature Play Safety
The Pure Wand is popular for temperature play because stainless steel conducts and holds temperature well. Warming: run under warm (not hot) water or place in a bowl of warm water for several minutes. Cooling: place in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes or in a bowl of ice water. Never use boiling water to warm a toy before use — allow it to cool to a comfortably warm temperature. Test temperature on the inside of your wrist before use. Avoid extreme temperature shifts (hot to cold or cold to hot immediately) as thermal shock can theoretically stress the metal over many cycles, though stainless steel is highly resistant to this.
Storage
The Pure Wand should be stored clean and dry in a fabric pouch or storage box that protects its polished surface from scratches. Stainless steel can scratch against hard surfaces. At approximately 10 inches long and 1.5 pounds, it fits comfortably in the Home in Bold storage box. Keep separated from other toys by fabric or dividers to protect both the wand’s polish and adjacent toys from scratching.
