Water-based lubricants work with every material and are easy to clean. Silicone-based lubricants last longer but can degrade silicone products, so patch-test first. Oil-based lubricants are not compatible with latex condoms.
Wash before and after each use with warm water and mild, unscented soap or a dedicated cleaner. Let items air-dry fully and store them separately in a breathable pouch away from heat and sunlight.
Consent is ongoing, enthusiastic, and can be withdrawn at any time. Talking openly with partners about boundaries, preferences, and safer-sex practices builds trust and comfort.
Barrier methods such as condoms and dental dams reduce the risk of STIs. Regular testing is a normal part of sexual health — many clinics offer free, confidential screening.
