Toy safety

Washable material, right lubricant, flared base for anal use: what makes a toy safe

10 min read

Before the techniques, the basics. This plate gathers what you need to know to choose, use, clean and share a sex toy without nasty surprises, whether you play alone or with others. Nothing complicated: a few simple rules, backed by public health sources and studies.

An object that touches mucous membranes must wash thoroughly and release nothing into the body. Two questions sort things out. Is the surface closed, with no pores where microbes can lodge? Is the material stable, with no chemical softener?

Phthalates are used to soften PVC. Many countries ban or limit certain plasticizers in objects meant for contact with the body; choose objects that state their materials and their standards. An older object, or one sold without a clear composition, does not offer this guarantee.
