Tips for safe and enjoyable use
Using sex toys is meant to be pleasurable and relaxing. To make the experience as comfortable and safe as possible, it is important to keep in mind some essential tips. Whether you’re playing alone or with a partner, these guidelines will help you get the most out of your toys.
Choose safe materials
Sex toys are available in different materials, but not all of them are safe for your body. Preferably choose body-safe materials such as:
- Silicone: Hypoallergenic, soft and easy to clean.
- Glass: Smooth, durable and perfect for temperature play.
- ABS plastic: Hard and non-porous, making it hygienic.
Avoid cheap toys made of obscure materials, as they may contain harmful substances.
Always use lubricant
Lubricant makes using toys more comfortable and prevents friction. For most toys, a water-based lubricant is ideal, especially for silicone toys. For glass toys, you can also use silicone-based lubricant.

Use condoms in shared use
When sharing a toy with a partner, always use a condom. This prevents the transmission of bacteria and makes it more hygienic. This is especially true for anal toys.

Start small and build up
As a beginner, it is important to start slowly. Choose a small, simple toy such as a bullet vibrator or a small butt plug. Do not increase the intensity or try larger toys until you are comfortable.
Keep your toys safe
Store your toys in a dry, dust-free place. Preferably use a storage bag that is often included with quality products. This prevents damage and keeps them clean.
