This is embarrassing but I'm infection prone so I'm constantly making sure I'm clean down there. I've been very scared to use toys or even lube. My boyfriend and I have decided to experiment with some new toys. Is there any material/ingredient I should stay away from?
Infection prone women, what material to stay away from?

You can't go wrong with steel, glass, and silicone. The lower the safety rating, the riskier a material is. Steel, glass, and silicone are all nonporous, so they can't trap bacteria when you clean them (and they can be sterilized if you're concerned)

You should probably use a condom over any toy that you use if you are really infection prone. Any porous material will hold onto yeast/bacteria (possibly) and could cause a reinfection.

I've switched to silicone toys exclusively and I've still been getting infections, even though I've started cleaning my toys with hydrogen peroxide.
