1. Skipping Cleaning Before and After Use

Mistake: Neglecting to clean your sex toys before and after each use.

Why It's Important: Proper cleaning removes bacteria, bodily fluids, and residue, reducing the risk of infections and maintaining hygiene.

Solution: Wash your toys with warm water and a mild, antibacterial soap or use a specialized sex toy cleaner that's compatible with the material. Dry thoroughly before storage.

2. Using the Wrong Lubricant

Mistake: Using incompatible lubricants with your sex toys.

Why It's Important: Some lubricants can damage certain toy materials, such as silicone-based lubricants with silicone toys.

Solution: Use water-based lubricants with all toy materials to prevent damage. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for the best lubricant type.

3. Not Checking Toy Compatibility

Mistake: Using a toy without checking if it's compatible with your body or preferences.

Why It's Important: Toys come in different sizes, shapes, and functionalities. Using an incompatible toy can lead to discomfort or dissatisfaction.

Solution: Research and choose toys that align with your anatomy, preferences, and comfort level. Consider starting with beginner-friendly options if you're new to using toys.


4. Ignoring Safety and Hygiene Practices

Mistake: Neglecting safety practices, such as sharing toys without proper cleaning or using toys with sharp edges or broken parts.

Why It's Important: Safety practices prevent injuries and the spread of infections or diseases between partners.

Solution: Always clean toys before and after sharing. Inspect toys regularly for any signs of wear and tear. Replace damaged toys promptly.

5. Overlooking Storage Conditions

Mistake: Storing toys improperly, such as leaving them exposed to sunlight or in humid environments.

Why It's Important: Improper storage can degrade toy materials, leading to reduced lifespan and potential health risks.

Solution: Store toys in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using individual storage bags or containers to prevent them from touching each other.

6. Rushing into Advanced Techniques

Mistake: Skipping basic techniques and rushing into advanced or intense use of toys.

Why It's Important: Rushing into advanced techniques can lead to discomfort, pain, or even injury, especially for beginners.

Solution: Start with basic techniques and gradually explore more advanced uses as you become more comfortable with your toys. Listen to your body's cues and communicate with your partner about what feels good.
