Toys

Things like dildos and butt plugs are very safe as long as you don't share them!

All kinds of infections including HIV and hepatitis might be passed from one person to another on toys. You can avoid this by covering your toy with a fresh condom for each person, or by making sure that it is thoroughly washed after each one of you uses it. If you are going to do this, it is best to stick to toys that can be washed in hot water with a capful of bleach. Remember to rinse them afterwards!

SM toys like whips, canes and paddles can only transmit infection if you are into heavy play which might break the skin. Paddles probably won't do this anyway, but canes and riding crops might, so watch what you are doing with them and if you are in any doubt, don't share. Remember that whilst it is easy to wipe a cane clean with soapy water, disinfectant may peel off varnish, and any leather product is difficult to clean thoroughly without damaging it's surface.
