Wellness

Body-safe materials, hygiene and intimate health, explained simply.

About the wellness section

Wellness articles deal with the body: what toys are made of, how to keep them clean, how pelvic floor exercises work and which worries are myths. They are general information, written from public health sources, and they are not medical advice. If you have pain, bleeding, an infection or a health condition, please speak to a doctor before using any intimate product.

Two articles are worth reading before your first purchase. Body-safe materials explained shows why silicone, ABS, glass and stainless steel are the safe choices and what to avoid. How to clean and store your toys gives a one-minute routine for each material. Together they answer most questions about hygiene.

Pelvic floor and myths

Sources and limits

Health statements in these articles are based on public health sources and on what makers state about their materials. We do not make medical claims about products, and we never suggest that a toy or lubricant treats a condition. If a topic needs a doctor, we say so near the top of the article rather than at the bottom. Read are sex toys safe? for the overview, and our guide to sex toy allergies if you have sensitive skin.
