I have a vibrator that has a sleeve on it. It is jelly feeling and "flesh like" I used it and got interupted and had to quickly put it away. I didnt get back to it until a few days later and i went to clean it and the inside is really dirty and is discolored. I have used soap and water and soaked it in hot water but its not coming off. Is there any cleaner that i canuse. Can i use bleach and clean it real good?

How do i clean my toys?
If it is a cyber skin type sleeve, then, I'm sorry to tell you, there isn't really anything you can do to get rid of the discoloration. That type of material is extremely porous, so you have to clean it immediately or at least reasonably soon after use. If it sat for a few days, the discoloration won't go away.
Also, with this type of material, you should never use soap and water. Soap will actually break down the material and can cause discoloration. You should always use a sex toy cleaner for your toys - they are made specifically for this reason so are safe for the material and they also have an anti-bacterial agent which keeps you from getting infections.
You can also use a condom over the sleeve to help keep it clean.
Silicon resists nearly anything but most other materials will discolor over time and some are subject to molecular damage with soaps detergent or other chemicals. I have had a glass cologne bottle forever and it is the only dildo I ever use. Glass resists anything.
I do recommend that anything used in the vagina get a regular vinegar soak. My patients using diaphragms do this and I do this with my Diva menstrual cup at the end of every period. Mix 1 part white vinegar with 2 parts warm water and soak for twenty minutes. Jiggle it around a little to make certain everything get soaked.
Any material that can't handle this with no damage is not going to go into me!
