Hey! You won’t believe this, but I was just researching about whether you can get a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) from using dildos or vibrators. To be honest, I was both surprised and relieved when I read the facts about this topic.
To start, most people assume that you can get an infection from using dildos and vibrators. And while it’s possible, the odds of this happening are really slim. Here’s the thing: having a UTI usually requires some kind of contact with the urethra. The good news is that, unless you’re doing something high-risk, it’s unlikely for the bacteria to make its way into the urethra.
So, why is it that UTIs and dildos and vibrators have been linked so often? Well, it’s because sometimes if you’re using a non-lubricated or a silicone lubricated dildo, it’s possible for friction to occur and increase the odds of infection. But the truth is, the chances of getting a UTI from a dildo or vibrator is significantly lower than if you were to use a condom or other sexual contraptions like arm chairs.
And if you’re still concerned, there are other precautionary measures you can take to reduce the risk of getting a UTI. For example, you could make sure to properly clean the dildo before and after use and always use a water-based lubricant. Plus, it’s wise to urinate before and after sex. All of these reduce the risk of a UTI.
But here’s the main idea: should you be overly worried about UTIs and dildos? No. Not really. Continued practices of proper hygiene and caution when engaging in sexual activities may reduce UTI risk, but don’t let this keep you from enjoying yourself! Besides, the chances of infection from using a dildo are significantly lower than from using a condom.
The second and main reason why you can’t get UTI from dildos is because these sex toys are usually non-porous and made of materials such as silicone, steel and glass. They are less likely to be a source of bacterial and thus reduce the risk of UTI. Plus, when you clean the sex toys after each use, you can make additional sure that they are sanitized and there is no chance of any bacterial contact.
So, overall, from what I’ve researched, it appears that the chances of getting a UTI from a dildo or vibrator are much lower than we originally thought. On the other hand, it’s still recommended to take proper hygienic precautions before and after using sex toys to avoid any risks.
One of the other things I found out when researching this topic was that UTI’s are usually caused by unprotected sexual activity. This can be anything from using a condom to engaging in oral sex without protection. But when it comes to dildos and vibrators, they don’t provide any direct contact with another person so the chances of getting an UTI are significantly lower than when you’re engaging in sex with someone else.
So, is it really possible to get an UTI from a dildo? The answer is yes, it’s possible but highly unlikely. By practicing proper hygiene before and after using the sex toys, and making sure to use a water-based lubricant, one can significantly reduce the risk of UTI from dildos and vibrators.
Interestingly, it’s always best to consult your doctor to get additional peace of mind about this topic. Your doctor may also have some other ideas and tips to reduce UTI risk from dildos, and to ensure you remain healthy and safe during your next sexual experience.
