- Using sex toys can be a safe practice, as long as you do not share your toys with your partner.
- If you share your toy with your partner, use a condom on the toy, and change the condom before your partner uses it.
- Clean your toys with soap and water, or a stronger disinfectant if indicated on the cleaning instructions. It is important to do this after each use!
