It is possible to have std when your using toys.?

Unlikely but possibl: Use of sex toys, and sharing them, could lead to STD but the circumstances would have to be such that the surfaces remained moist and warm, such as immediate sharing. Viruses such as HPV are probably the most easy to transmit since they are able to survive on surfaces a bit better. Simple cleaning with an antibacterial and allowing complete drying will likely eliminate this concern.

Depends: did someone else use these toys before you? are you sharing germs with others? rubbing that area could bring ecoli from your puwit! Agua oxinaga your toys to be sure before play!
