How to lessen the STD Risks of Sharing Sex Toys

Sex toys can carry infection from vaginal liquids, blood or faeces depending on their use. That is why it is never a good idea to use one toy on more than one person. If you do not take proper precautions, it is an invitation to infections and diseases. Moreover, you always run the risk of having a crack or hole in the sex toy which provide very good refuge for harmful germs.

In order to lessen the risk of spreading infection when sharing the sex toy with more than one person, you should use condoms on one person or one body part only. The condoms need to be changed every time the toy changes from one body part to the other or of course, from one person to another. You don’t want to use the anywhere else after using it on the anus, do you?

You also have to make very sure that your sex toy is cleaned well. Salespersons at sex toy shops know the right ways of cleaning and you should learn from them. The proper cleaning method can be through the usual soap and water, running the dishwasher for it or even submersion in boiling water if the material of the toy does not get damaged. For example, sex with moving electric parts cannot be submersed under boiling hot water for cleansing.

Another tip for using the sex toys safely is to keep it supple. Not only does it allow for safer and pleasurable sex but makes the cleaning bit easier. When using the sex toy, it is important that you are fully aroused before making use of a penetrative toy. Lubricants can help to transfer vibrations to maximize pleasure. So, if you happen to go over the moon in “doing it” the lube will help to reduce the risk of injury.

If your sex toy is made from tough glass, medical grade silicon, you can be assured about their hygiene. They are slightly more expensive but offer more protection for you and have a longer life. The non-vibrating sex toys can be sterilised through boiling or made to go through dishwasher. You can be at peace in the knowledge that your sex toys are safe for use.
