I have the Basic Luv Theory Pulse Air Pressure Stimulator and a few other air pressure toys and I still haven’t figured out how to clean the suction nozzle part. I tried the regular toy cleaner and water but it doesn’t seem to get the inside part. I tried a q tip but I’m afraid of damaging the inside. Any tips to get it squeaky clean?

A soft toothbrush and liquid soap is going to be your best friend for cleaning any small crevices and holes in toys! Don’t worry too much about damaging the inside of an air pressure toy, if you brush them gently with a soft toothbrush they can take that force, people grind against them so they can handle it.
If the toy isn’t waterproof (I don’t believe the Luv Theory is?), just pop out the batteries first, then apply liquid soap and scrub away! I suggest going with unscented and something more natural for soap, just in case post rinse anything is left behind. Dr Bronner’s is a favorite for toy cleaning for me, just not the peppermint one, ha. Rinse when you’re done, and then let it air dry. I try and not wipe down toys with a towel or anything because that can leave behind lint, I just line them up on my bathtub edge and let them dry.
The New York Times/Wirecutter actually has a really great guide to cleaning sex toys, and one of the images is someone cleaning an air pressure toy, so you can see an example there too: How to Clean Sex Toys | Reviews by Wirecutter
For waterproof toys, I like to turn them on under some water for a few seconds when I rinse them, just to further push anything out, but using a soft brush and soap does the job really well.
