Sex without gadgets… it’s a bit like an evening dress without a handbag. In fact, the use of sex toys is a behavior that is part of healthy sexuality today. Now that it’s no longer a secret, it’s important to know how to take care of them, these little toys!
Focus on the most popular materials :Sex toys do not all maintain the same way depending on their composition:
Table des matières
Glass sex toys
Glass is soft to the touch (perfect for a slippery back and forth motion!), Durable and hypoallergenic. Since it is a non-porous surface, bacteria and viruses do not get stuck on it! Glass is a material that keeps the temperature for a long time. Soaking the object in cold or lukewarm water (intense heat could crack it), then allows you to vary the sensations felt. Maintenance is very easy; wet wipe and soapy water.
Silicone sex toys
Silicone remains the most used material in the sex toy industry, because it is very silky and allows to obtain original shapes, both for the female and male anatomy. However, since small cracks can occur over time, it is important to inspect toys regularly, to prevent bacteria and viruses from building up.
Always use a water-based lubricant, because those also based on silicone can damage your accessories!
Cyberskin sextoys
Satin material very soft to the touch, it is made of a mixture of silicone and PVC. Revolutionary substance, it reproduces the color and feel of the skin. This type of toy is therefore either ultra flexible, but also rigid, a bit like erectile tissue. Again, it is a material that absolutely must not come into contact with a silicone-based lubricant. Same cleaning method as the others, it is often necessary to finish with a hint of cornstarch (sprinkled when the toy is dry), which will avoid making it sticky to the touch.
Some safety tips
• For more sensitive skin, various products specially designed to clean sextoys are sold in stores / online.
• Most toys without mechanical parts are dishwasher safe or simply sterilized in boiling water.
• Preservation should be used to prevent transmission of viruses and bacteria.
• Never pass the sextoy from the anus to the vagina, without having used a new condom or having cleaned it thoroughly. The bacteria are not the same and you risk infection.
• There are objects designed especially for anal penetration and these are the ones to use! These sex toys have a flared base, in order to stop the object during penetration and prevent it from burying itself in the rectum.
• Each person should have their own sex toys. However, if the gadget is used on one or more people, be sure to change the condom and wash it properly.
- Use only phthalate free sex toys. Phthalates are endocrine disruptors which can seriously harm your health.
