can you get lesiona from dirty sex toys
I recently started exploring different avenues of pleasure and curiosity brought me to the topic of sex toys. Could you ever get hurt from using them? That’s the million dollar question. Let’s find out.
Right off the bat, no one ever wants to get injured during any form of play, especially when it comes to one’s most intimate. No matter how safe and dildos well made a sex toy may seem, you can easily overlook the dangers of using a dirty one.
It’s no surprise people are increasingly turning away from intrusive medical treatments, and increasingly looking into alternative solutions for achieving sexual satisfaction. But, improper sexual hygiene can negatively affect your health in more ways than just an infection or lesion. It can even affect your mental health as well.
So here’s the deal: using a dirty sex toy does pose a risk, but nothing as major as an incurable infection. Depending on immunity, a lesion is the most acute risk from sharing a dirty sex toy. This type of tear arises when your toy’s jagged edges disrupt the fragile balance between the skin and the fragile flesh inside.
To avoid any potential health risks, make sure to clean your sex toys properly with the recommended cleaning items available on the market. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to the letter, as some toy materials require a bit more than just submerging them in soapy water. And, always use a new condom prior to insertion.
A common mistake people make is assuming that, since the toy is waterproof, they can take it to any shower for a rinse off. That’s wrong; the shower might contain bacteria just as any faucet, water pool or lake could, and that’s more than enough bacteria to cause an infection.
The key is to keep your toy clean and safe from potential invaders at all times and to do this, you have to take preventive measures. Firstly, make sure to use the right kind of lubricant for the material your toy is made of- some may even come with their own lubricant; Secondly, always make sure you transition the toy from the cleaning area and back in a secure bag or box; And thirdly, always clean any lube you used off the toy and its seams in order to avoid lock-down of dirt and other particles.
It’s also important to note that, even when properly cared for, different materials can react differently with the body. Those made with more porous items like cyberskin or jelly will allow bacteria to penetrate much more, making them vulnerable to an inflammation or infection. To counter this, make sure to keep a tighter schedule of cleaning and inspection for these types of toys.
When it comes to looking after your sex toys, prevention is always better than cure. Be proactive and practice proper hygiene in order to keep them safe and yourself injury free.
Expanded explanation:
The goal of using sex toys is always to have fun. But, even for experienced users, accidents can still happen, especially when one is unaware of the dangers posed by dirty sex toys. Employing preventive measures and keeping toys clean can help you save yourself from painful infections and vibrators lesions far more effectively than most medical treatments out there.
Just like with any other kind of hygiene, it’s important to take extra steps when looking after your sex toys. Here are a few tips:
Purchase a quality material. Quality is key when it comes to any tangible item, and it’s no different for sex toys. Within the realm of sex toys, there are plastic, cyberskin, and jelly toys. Cyberskin is a bit more porous and jelly toys are much more porous than cyberskin toys, so it’s important to remember that their tendency to harbor bacteria is greater if left uncleaned.
Pay attention to the lube. Some lubricants, like silicone-based lubes, can deteriorate the quality of the toy over time and may even cause them to break if used too often and/or they are left for too long inside the toy. Double-check before you grab the lube bottle.
Clean it properly and regularly. Cleaning your sex toy is more than just running water over it- make sure to use the right techniques. To safely clean a sex toy, you will need to have a gentle soap or an appropriate cleaner and warm water. Don’t forget to use a condom if you share it with someone else.
Store it properly. Where and how are you storing your toys? Like most intimate activities, storage is essential in terms of safety and health. The best way to do this is to keep it away from air, and to use a bag or a box. Anything that’s not breathable can trap moisture and bacteria, potentially wreaking havoc on your beloved toy!
Don’t forget to inspect it. It may sound like a hassle, but check those nooks and crannies of your sex toy from time to time in order to make sure it’s not cracked. Cracks aren’t visible to the naked eye, but they can be detected upon tactile inspection. If you do find them, throw the toy away and consider getting a new one.
Following these tips will help make sure you won’t sustain any infections or lesions as a result of using dirty sex toys- but even if you do get injured in some way, it’s important to seek medical advice immediately in order to counteract the problem and get back to enjoying your activities.
Finally, it’s also important to talk to your sex toy provider and get their advice on the best way to look after your toy. Don’t forget to ask about cleaning tips, proper lube and condom recommendation and how to store your sex toy. Suggestions from experienced professionals will always help keep you safe and have a carefree experience.
Overall, it’s normal to worry about the risks posed by a dirty sex toy. Ultimately though, if you’re well-informed and practice preventive measures, you can easily avoid the worst of the scenarios. So don’t be afraid to try something new, just make sure to be well-equipped and mind your safety!
