Avoid it to keep the usage safe

Sex toys are considered to be a surefire solution in increasing satisfaction during sex. Furthermore, they have a positive impact on health because they are said to treat certain conditions, such as orgasmic disorders and erectile dysfunction.

However, because it is still a taboo subject, many people do not understand the proper use of sex toys. No wonder some of the following mistakes that have been summarized from Bustle and Everyday Health are quite often done.

Not paying attention to the hygiene of sex toys

This is the most common mistake recorded by sex toy users. This increases the risk of infectious diseases, both sexually transmitted diseases and milder ones such as urinary tract infections.

The method of cleaning sex toys depends on the type of tools and materials used. But generally, unscented soap is considered safe for cleaning many types of sex toys.

According to Self, users should wash sex toys thoroughly before and after use. According to Pure Wow, storage is also an important aspect. Keep sex toys in a sterile place and wrap toys to prevent cross-contamination with other items.

Just choose the type of sex toy

The number of different types of sex toys out there is not impossible to confuse people. As a result, they decide to buy the best-selling sex toy without considering it first. Of course, this has the potential to make the user uncomfortable and not enjoy it to the fullest.

Everyone has different needs. Before investing in a sex toy, it’s a good idea to do some research and experimentation to determine what kind of product you should have. Don’t hesitate to consult if you still can’t figure it out.

Assuming that sex toys can only be used for masturbation

Although they often make some men feel unmanly, sex toys can be a mainstay to create a more passionate atmosphere for married couples. A study conducted at the University of Klagenfurt Austria in 2021 states that women get more satisfaction when using sex toys.

Reported by Purewow, the use of sex toys when making love with a partner can make each other feel challenged as if they are on an adventure and potentially improve the quality of orgasms. In the long run, this allows for a closer and more intimate relationship.

Not using the right lubricant

There are times when a person wants to engage in sexual activity with the help of sex toys in a short time so they don’t have time to do foreplay to stimulate the intimate organs. This increases the risk of infection and is not impossible to tear the vagina due to rough friction with sex toys.

Therefore, it is important to lubricate the surface of sex toys before use. The lubricant material must be adjusted to the type of sex toy. This is because using the wrong lubricant can damage the material of the sex toy. This can be found out by doing research on the internet or asking the sellers directly.

Lending sex toys to others or vice versa

Everything that is directly related to the intimate organs must be personalized, including sex toys. Not without reason, this tool can be a medium for the transmission of dangerous sexually transmitted diseases due to direct exposure to body fluids.

As an additional protection, use contraceptives such as condoms, especially for penetrative devices. This is known to reduce the risk of infection in the female organs. The use of condoms can also be an alternative for those who do not have more time to clean sex toys.

Because it is still a taboo, many people ignore how to use sex toys properly. In fact, the mistakes made can lead to health problems, both in the short and long term. Therefore, pay attention to the mistakes above and avoid them as soon as possible!
