Build a gentle daily intimacy care routine with the Soap + Lube Combo. Learn how to clean Ohnut, apply lube properly, and protect sensitive skin.
Quick answer
Keep a soap and lube combo routine simple: cleanse with a gentle soap, apply a pH-balanced lubricant like Oh Naturale Organic Aloe Lube, and clean your Ohnut after each use. This three-step habit supports sensitive skin and makes intimacy more comfortable without extra fuss.
Why a daily intimacy care routine matters for sensitive skin
Sensitive skin reacts to fragrance, harsh cleansers, and sticky lubricants. A consistent routine removes guesswork: you reach for the same gentle soap, the same pH-balanced lube, and the same cleaning steps for your Ohnut. The Soap + Lube Combo pairs these essentials so you are not mixing products that fight each other. If your skin is reactive, patch-test any new soap or lube on your inner arm before using it on delicate areas.
How to clean Ohnut without damaging the material
Ohnut is made of a soft, stretchy material that can trap lube and bodily fluids in its ridges. Rinse it with warm water and a small amount of mild soap, then massage the rings gently with your fingers. Avoid boiling water, alcohol, or abrasive scrubbers, which can break down the material over time. After rinsing, pat dry with a clean towel and let it air completely before storing it. If you use the Ohnut Storage Case, make sure the rings are fully dry before closing the lid to prevent mildew.

Lube hygiene tips: apply, store, and reapply
Apply lubricant to both the Ohnut rings and your body before intimacy, not just one surface. A thin layer on the rings reduces friction against sensitive tissue, while a small amount on the body helps everything glide. Reapply as needed rather than adding water, which can wash away the lubricant and increase drag. Store your lube bottle capped and upright, away from direct sunlight. Check the expiration date; expired lube can change texture and become irritating. If you switch between silicone toys and silicone lube, use a water-based or aloe-based option to avoid degrading the toy surface.
Building the routine into your day
You do not need a long ritual. Attach the steps to habits you already have: clean Ohnut while you brush your teeth at night, or set out the Soap + Lube Combo next to your bedside before bed. Keep a small towel nearby for drying. If you have a partner, walk through the steps together once so neither of you has to guess. The goal is comfort and predictability, not perfection. If irritation persists, stop using the product and check with a healthcare provider.
Your daily intimacy care steps
- Cleanse with gentle soap: Wash your external intimate area with a mild, fragrance-free soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel. Mistake to avoid: using scented or antibacterial soap, which can strip natural moisture and cause irritation.
- Apply pH-balanced lube: Dispense a small amount of Oh Naturale Organic Aloe Lube onto your fingers and apply a thin layer to the Ohnut rings and to your body. Reapply as needed. Checkpoint: if the lube becomes tacky, add more rather than water.
- Clean Ohnut after use: Rinse Ohnut with warm water and mild soap, gently rubbing the rings to remove residue. Pat dry and let air completely before storing. Mistake to avoid: storing Ohnut while still damp, which can encourage mildew.
- Store your combo together: Keep the soap, lube, and Ohnut in a cool, dry place. If you use a storage case, leave it open until all items are dry. Next step: replace lube before its expiration date and check Ohnut for tears or stickiness.
