One problem that people often face after using sex toys regularly is the recurring yeast infection. Doctors say that purchasing porous sex toys from adult sex shops is the main reason behind recurring yeast infections.
Apart from porous sex toys, bad-quality lubes used during intercourse are also a significant reason behind bad vaginal health. Mostly, sex toys made from cheaper materials like thermoplastics [TPE, TPR], PVC, rubber, etc., are bad for health. The problem with these materials is that regardless of how hard you clean them, it is very tough to sanitise them completely, and bacteria still live and grow around them. Fungus growth is also very commonly seen in porous sex toys, and from there, the ill effects on vaginal health begin to show their impact.
SYNTHETIC OILS AND SEX TOYS
Sex toys from low-quality materials discussed
above have synthetic oils used in their production. These oils can increase
infections by making the area conducive for bacteria growth. Porous adult toys
available at every adult store in Adelaide have some quantity of synthetic
oils, and they are also not chemically stable. The result is that this
synthetic oil will enter into the vagina and generate problems like yeast
infection.
WHAT IS OSMOLALITY?
Lubricants used along with adult toys are very
effective initially, but we never get to know their ill effects. They will feel
slippery initially, but the main reason behind this is that they drink moisture
out of your cells. A quick research will reveal that not too many lubes available
at adult sex shops fall between the ideal range of iso-osmotic.
While purchasing lubricants, it is mandatory
to go through the ingredients used in their manufacturing. If they contain
glycerine and propylene glycol, you avoid them entirely as they increase the
osmolality of the lubricant and again become a reason behind yeast infection.
DETERMINE THE PH
Every vagina has a pH level that has to be
measured while purchasing lubricants. If the pH level of the vagina and the oil
is not matched, you will face common issues like yeast infection and those
listed below.
Burning as the pH is too low
Itching as the pH is too high
Itching and infection as high pH can cause
simple irritation
