Some couples use sex toys to spice up their sex life. While using toys can make sex fun and exciting, they can also be a vector for infection and disease.
If you or your partner use sex toys, be sure to keep them clean and disinfect them before and after use. Sex toys can be breeding grounds for bacteria and other harmful parasites, so cleaning them well can help lower your risk of infection. Additionally, store them away from children and do not share them with others.
Manufacturers usually provide cleaning instructions, so be sure to follow those instructions properly. It would also be a good idea to avoid buying or using toys that have not been certified as safe for use, or toys that are unbranded and do not have any safety information. These toys may be cheaper, but they may have harmful substances that can cause irritation when used.
By following these hygiene tips, you can make sure that you and your partner are both healthy and free from disease.
