Can you get bv from a vibrator? i clean it after every use
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk, no worry: Shared sex toys can transmit bacterial vaginosis between women, especially if shared quickly (still wet with the other woman's vaginal fluid). Cleaning after each use is a good idea and is absolutely necessary if the vibrator is used by more than one person. However, self use by one person is not likely to cause BV even if cleaning is forgotten or not done well.
