Sex toys offer a great opportunity for
sexual pleasure with less risk of getting sexually
transmitted infections. But there are still steps
to take to avoid infection.
- Wash your toys with soap and warm water
after use.
- Always use a condom over any toy that is
used for penetrative play.
- If you share a toy with your partner, make
sure you each use a new condom everytime you
swop.
- Softskin toys should be washed and then
dusted with cornflour before storage. Wash the
cornflour off before the next use. Do not use
talc as you may have a reaction to it.
- Anything that is used for anal insertion must
have a “butt plug” (like a disc at the base of
the toy) to stop it disappearing up the rectum.
Without a stopper, the peristaltic action of the
rectum will suck up anything that it can and
you will be making an embarrassing journey to
the emergency room.
- Always make sure that you remove your
tampon before sex. It seems obvious but many
women forget and the tampon then gets pushed
too high up in the vagina and may cause an
infection.
- Whenever you engage in any kind of anal play,
use three times the amount of lubricant you
think you may need. The anus does not self-
lubricate and the surrounding skin is extremely
delicate and tears easily.
- When using fingers for penetration, use a
condom, latex glove or finger condoms for
protection against germs and to avoid being
scratched by sharp or jagged fingernails.
- Oils, petroleum jelly and lotions all perish and
weaken latex condoms and may cause them to
break. Only use purpose-made lubricants.
Popular choices include K-Y Jelly and Assegaai.
- When engaging in vaginal and anal
intercourse, make sure you use a new condom
before moving between the two to avoid
causing any form of infection.
