Is it Unclean?

To make sure you are fully clean and to remove any excess deposits we recommend using an anal douche. They are very inexpensive and easy to use. You simply use the douche to squirt a small amount of water up your anus and then pass it in the toilet.

Using a condom over your sex toys or penis is also advisable as this provides a smoother surface and prevents the build up of bacteria. If you don't or cannot (for example on anal beads) use a condom make sure the toy is washed thoroughly after use with an antibacterial sex toy cleaner.

What about Lubricant?
