Insertable Sex toys and Condoms

Most sex toy guides recommend to use insertable sex toys (such as dildos, penis-shaped vibrators, anal stimulators, condoms. Some customers wonder: Why do I need to put a condom on a sex toy? Sex toys do not have sexually transmitted diseases, they do not transmit viruses and, of course, they cannot cause pregnancy!"

This is true in some extend. However, using a condom on a sex toy is a good idea. But why?

Why to use condoms on insertable sex toys?

1. Better hygiene. By using a condom on a sex toy you provide better hygiene. The fact is that many sex toys are made of porous materials, such as rubber. Pores easily absorb fluids and thus make sex toys quite difficult to clean, as bacteria might remain in the pores even after cleaning. This problem is very easy to cope with: just put a condom on your sex toy and take it off after the play. Your sex toy will remain absolutely clean!

2. Longer lifespan. By using a condom on your favorite sex toy you prolong its lifespan! The explanation is very simple: condom allows you not to clean the sex toy with strong detergent, so you do not damage the surface of the device and it serves you longer!

3. Protection from infections. Do you like sharing your sex toys with a partner? If you do, then you must sheath your sex toys with condoms in order to avoid infections that can be transmitted by the sex toy if shared. Put a condom on your dildo or vibrator and then use a fresh one before giving the sex toy to the partner.

Using condoms on sex toys is also a good idea for those who like to use the same sex toy for vaginal and anal penetration. If you use a sex toy for anal play and than switch to vaginal play without cleaning the sex toy, you are likely to transmit infection from the anus to the vagina. To avoid this trouble use a condom on your sex toy for anal play and then put on a fresh condom before switching to vaginal play.

Tips

1. Use polyurethane condoms instead of those made of latex if you have latex allergy.
2. Insertable sex toys do require using sex lubricants. Sex lubricants provide easy penetration and very enjoyable glide. Keep in mind that latex condoms cannot be used with oil-based lubricants as these damage latex. Latex condoms are compatible with water-based and silicone-based lubricants, unlike polyurethane condoms that can be used with all kinds of sex lubricants, including oil-based ones.
3. Ribbed or dotted condoms will enhance your pleasure. Use a textured condom on a smooth sex toy if you want to get some extra stimulation. You can change things any time you wish! Want smooth insertion? Take off the textured condom and put on a smooth one!
4. For even more enjoyable play use a warming lubricant!

Whatever kind of sexual play must be safe! Use condoms for all pleasures and enjoy safe play!
