Whether you choose a smaller XGen Body Mini Wand dildo or a larger model, it's important you know how to safely use it. While sex toys are fun and provide an enhanced sexual experience alone or with your partner, they can be harmful if not correctly cared for and used. 

To ensure your new dildo is enjoyable and used in a safe manner, follow each of these safety tips:

Safety Tip: Cleanliness is Your Top Priority

Before and after using your new dildo, you need to wash it. It's important that it is free of bacteria when you use it or you could end up with a urinary tract or vaginal infection. 

Dildos and most other sex toys that aren't battery-operated can typically be washed in a dishwasher. If you opt to hand wash, then use a mild soap and hot water.

Once your dildo has been washed, then you need to make sure to thoroughly dry it. If it isn't adequately dried, then bacteria can grow on it.

Safety Tip: Use Your New Dildo Only for Its Intended Purpose

As with all sexual aids, it's vital you only use a dildo for its intended purpose.

For example, if you want to try a butt plug during intercourse with your partner, then you should purchase one rather than using a dildo.

Butt plugs are designed with an outer rim that prevents them from being put too far into your body where you can't easily remove them.

So, if you use a dildo instead for this unintended purpose, then you might find yourself in the local emergency room looking for help retrieving it. 

Safety Tip: Start Small and Work Your Way Up

When shopping for a new dildo, it's important you are realistic about the size and shape that is appropriate for your unique body. Especially if you are sexually inexperienced, you really should start with a smaller dildo such as the XGen Body Mini Wand rather than larger or more complicated models.

Safety Tip: Never Skip the Lubricant

Lastly, for your safety and to prevent skin tears or other injuries, you absolutely must always use a sexual lubricant with a dildo or other sex toy. Typically, water-based lubricants are the healthiest for your body and also won't damage the material your dildo is made of. You should avoid using petroleum jelly as it can lead to health issues and just really doesn't do the job as well as specialty sex lubes.
