Avoid Common Mistakes That Can Make You Sick…
Mistake #1:
- Not washing your toys in between use.
- Toys carry bacteria. This means bad hygiene can cause vaginal, anal, oral, or gastrointestinal infections!
- Even if your toy looks clean you should always wash it off.
Mistake #2:
- Using scented hand soap to wash toys.
- Harsh soaps can irritate your vaginal tissue so its important to know what works best for you.
- Generally speaking, you should use an antibacterial cleanser, preferably toy wash with warm water.
Mistake #3:
- Anal/vaginal penetration without proper preparation.
- Don’t contaminate yourself with anal toy use.
- If you use your toys anally and vaginally you should be even more thorough in your washing habits, you can make yourself sick if you adopt poor washing techniques.
- Bacteria is easily transmitted through the use of anal penetration because it naturally thrives in your colon.
Note: You may want to segregate anal and vaginal toys if you are unsure the cleanser you are using is antibacterial.
