Sex Toy Safety Guide

 

                                              

As a human being, you have the right to receive sexual gratification. How you achieve your orgasms is completely up to you, but it’s important to remain safe doing it. There aren’t many guides to sex toy safety available on the internet. Most of the guides you find usually tell you which toys to purchase but don’t explain how to use them safely. It’s important to know before you purchase anything that every toy is used differently and give you a different outcome.

Everyone has different experiences when it comes to sex toys. Just because your friend loves vibrating bullets doesn’t mean that you’ll have the same passion for them. Everyone has a completely different reaction to sex toys, and it’s important to know that before your purchase. Some people don’t even look at the ingredients in food before they purchase it. The same goes for sex toys. It would help if you looked at what material they are made out of before you purchase these toys. The government has no regulation over sex toys, so they don’t provide information on what’s safe or not.

Nowadays, Adult Toys come in various materials, from the cheaper options like Plastic or Jelly and the more expensive Silicone, Glass and Metal. Some types state on the labels that they are body-safe, phthalate-free and hypoallergenic. Many people have allergies to certain materials, and when they realize a product they are using includes those materials, it can sometimes be too late. You don’t want to be in a situation like this. Always do your homework and decide for yourself which sex toy is best for you.

Once you find a toy that is right for you, make sure you clean it before and after every use. Many sex toys hold onto bacteria for dear life, which will make them hazardous to use.  Some sex toy shops offer cleaning instructions, and some even sell sex toy cleaner to go along with your new purchase. However, if no cleaning solution is available, soap and water is usually the best way to clean them. Some toys have a coating on them that may come off if hot water is used, so you want to make sure to ask the sex toy seller any questions you have about cleaning before your purchase.

You should never share your toys with other people as this can pass on sexually transmitted infections. You could always have a different set of sex toys for each partner.

Always check your toys regularly for any scratches or breaks in the material where germs could be present and spread, leading to infections.

Purchasing sex toys from reputable sellers is another way to stay safe. Search around on the internet for reviews before you purchase anything from anyone. If you can’t find any reviews, contacting customer support is another great option to see if a sex toy seller is a good one. Usually, if you receive a response within a reasonable amount of time, they are a good seller to go with. Look around on the site for useful information in the product descriptions and see if they tell you what material is used to make the toys. If descriptions aren’t available or the descriptions are shady in nature, the site may not be a good option.

For some, a guide to sex toy safety is imperative before they make their purchase. If you need any more assistance or questions about sex toys, shoot us an email, and we’ll be happy to help you with your purchase!
