We hear it all the time, from almost every walk of life: “Safety First!”.  Why?  Because it is important to us, and to those we love, to be safe and smart about our lives.  This includes our choices and decisions about sex toys: what is safe and smart?

We at Exciting Toys are absolutely dedicated to your safety in providing only those toys and products for your – well – safe sex!  Beyond the obvious concerns, Exciting Toys would like to remind you of these essential tips when choosing your sex toys and accessories:

1.   Know Thyself You may well be inclined to sensitivities to certain substances included in toys, lubricants, creams, and oils.

• Be aware of your sensitivities and potential allergies, and choose wisely.  Common allergies are:  lanolin and latex, and sometimes talc.
• Buy only from a trusted source: cheap manufacturers do not heed to any consumer-safety authority.   ExcitingToys.com’ products are carefully selected to ensure both your safety and your satisfaction!

2.   Know Your Partner Sex toys are designed to provide mutual pleasure and safety.  What works for you may not work as well for your partner. It is really up to you both to choose and use the right toy for the right play!

• Talk to your partner about their preferences and include them in your decisions when choosing a toy or accessory.  Clear communication here is absolutely essential!
• Size, texture, color – all matter!  With all the options available to you and your partner, definitely be selective!
• A note about S&M: while these toys inherently involve some risks, it is up to you and your partner to inform yourselves about those risks, and choose the right toys for you!

3.   Design Your Sex Play Closely related to the point above, it is essential to choose “the right tool for the right job,” for the health and safety of you and your partner!  Remember that any given toy is meant to be used only for its specific purpose.   For instance, a vaginal vibrator is not appropriate for anal penetration!

• All vibrators are not created equal: This is an especially important distinction to make when anal play is concerned.  Beyond “ouch!” rough edges can tear the fragile rectal tissue and collect bacteria.
• A well-designed anal toy should be flared at the bottom so it is not easily drawn up into the rectum.  With this in mind, ExcitingToys.com has assembled a great selection of the best, safest anal toys available!

4.   Keep It Clean Yes, it would seem an obvious point and no, we’re not accusing you of being slovenly…but sometimes, those toys just don’t make it to the kitchen sink (even if they are “dishwasher safe”)!

• It is highly recommended to use cleaners specifically developed for sex toys.  ExcitingToys.com provides you with the safest and best.
• If you must, you can use a mild soap and warm water to clean your toys as a last resort.  However, please don’t stuff them in your dishwasher – just not good health and safety practice!  (Let alone…ah, nevermind!)

5.  Toy Batteries Like those in your digital camera, batteries will leak if left to sit too long.  The acid can be absorbed by the toy itself,  and if you keep all your toys in one playbox, the acid can leach into those too.

• Simple solution: If you’re not using a particular, battery-driven toy often, make a mental note to remove the batteries.  The batteries will remain viable, un-charged and disconnected from the toy.
• Use re-chargeables Yeah, those little guys get expensive!  Get the most out of your toy batteries by ensuring they are both reliable and re-chargeable!

While mostly a matter of common sense, sex toy safety and your health is an absolute priority at ExcitingToys.com.  A simple recap: know your allergies and sensitivities, know your partner’s preferences, choose your toys wisely, carefully consider the design of the toy for your specific play, keep it clean, and rotate out the batteries!
