Also, Clean Your Toys

So, perhaps it goes without saying, but you know I’m going to say it anyway:

Clean your toys.

Clean toys are important. Even if you only use them with one person, you want to keep your toys clean, so that you don’t transfer bacteria.

Even your own bacteria, several days later, can cause not-good stuff to happen.

Clean toys means cleaning your toys when you buy them, after you use them, and before you use them again (unless you have kept them covered and dust-free).

Non-porous toys are ideal, like those made from glass, steel, silicone, etc. Those that are rated as dishwasher safe are the most convenient, as you can run them through a cleaning and sterilization cycle with little fuss (without dishes of course!).

Boiling your toys for three minutes (after a good scrubbing to remove any debris) also works.

And, if you want to keep your toys clean and relatively free of “stuff” of all sorts, consider using condoms over the entire toy.

Condoms stretch amazingly, and you will save a lot of cleaning up using them.

Of course, condoms are perfect for toys that get used on more than just one bottom as well.
