Are adult toys safe to use?

As long as you make sure the toys are made of safe materials (silicone, glass), cleaned and stored correctly, they are safe to use.

Tips for safe use of adult sex toys, as well as misuse behaviors, are discussed in more detail below.

Why is it important to learn more about using sex toys?

From two points. The first reason is the sex toys industry is short of strict regulatory standards. So the user needs to know what adult product is safe, there is no teacher to tell you.

The second is the bad effect of misuse on people's health. For example: allergic reaction vaginitis or urethritis caused by infection.

So before buying or using it, you should first prepare some knowledge. Why is it important to learn more about using sex toys?

Guide to the correct use of adult products

Some of the unsafe behaviors of using adult toys and their possible consequences include:

1. Using toys made of poor quality materials

Poor quality or unknown materials may contain harmful chemicals, such as phthalates, which can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and even long-term health problems. Prioritize toys made of non-toxic, non-allergenic materials such as silicone, stainless steel, or glass.

2. Not washing toys thoroughly

Failure to wash toys thoroughly before and after use increases the risk of bacterial and fungal growth, which can lead to infections such as vaginitis or urethritis. That's why toys should be washed thoroughly before and after each use, using mild, unscented soap and water. For some materials, a disinfectant can also be used for deep cleaning.

3. Not using lubricants or using the wrong type of lubricant

Not using lubricants or using lubricants that are incompatible with the material the toy is made of (e.g., using silicone-based lubricants on silicone toys) can lead to increased friction that can cause skin breakdown or discomfort.

4. Sharing toys

Sharing toys that have not been thoroughly sanitized may spread STDs or other infections. So don't share adult toys with others, or use condoms and wash them thoroughly before sharing.

5. Using inappropriate toys

Using toys that are not appropriate for your size or needs may cause physical injury or discomfort. For example, using toys that are too large or misshapen may cause lacerations or internal injuries.

6. Improper storage

Failure to store toys properly (e.g., mixing multiple toys or exposing them to high temperatures) can lead to degradation of materials and increased risk during use.

Ensuring safety when using adult toys is very important, not only for personal health but also for the overall experience. Proper use and care practices can greatly reduce these risks.

Handling Tips When Feeling Comfortable Using

If you encounter adverse consequences when using adult toys, you can follow the steps below to deal with it:

Stop use immediately and assess for injury

Stop using the toy as soon as you feel discomfort, pain, or any unusual reaction.
Check for visible injuries such as skin tears or unusual bleeding.

Initial Treatment

For minor skin irritation or allergic reactions, gently clean the affected area with warm water and unscented soap.
If an unsuitable lubricant has been used, special cleansing may be necessary to avoid further irritation.
If pain persists, a cold compress may be used to reduce discomfort.

Seek professional medical help

For serious symptoms, such as persistent severe pain, deep lacerations, or severe allergic reactions, go to a hospital or urgent care center as soon as possible.
Toys with embedded injuries or those that cannot be removed on their own must be handled by a medical professional.

Review and clean toys

Thoroughly inspect toys for breakage or design defects. If necessary, take photographs and retain purchase information so you can report the problem to the manufacturer or seller.
Thoroughly clean toys using the correct method depending on the material they are made of to make sure there are no residual bacteria or chemicals.

Education and precautions

Learn the proper way to use and choose the right toy to prevent similar problems in the future. This can be done by consulting a professional sexual health counselor or finding reliable educational resources.
Consider increased personal protection measures for future use, such as the use of non-allergenic lubricants and proper sterilization methods.

Feedback and Improvement

Feedback on the incident to the product manufacturer or seller, especially if it is believed that the product design or materials may be defective.

In the event of an incident caused by a product defect, consider seeking compensation through legal channels.
