Do you put condoms on your vibrators?

Contributor: ksparkles16 ksparkles16
I'm new to vibrators like rabbits that have shafts. I've often read that some people put condoms on them because of the jelly material because it's easier to clean or because it's safer. So, what do you all do? I'd appreciate any suggestions you all can give me! Thanks

i don't use jelly toys, but when i did, i had to use a condom because otherwise it would burn my insides. it got so bad that as the toy aged, the jelly disintegrated and offgassed so bad that even a condom couldn't save my vagina from burning. threw it away. that was my first toy.


now i use silicone or glass only and never have to worry about using a condom unless i'm sharing the toy with a partner and/or switching between anal and vaginal penetration with the toy.



my advice is to not use a jelly toy.

I just avoid materials I don't trust. If I feel I may have to use a condom, I'm not going to bother with it.

I have used condoms on toys that weren't jelly, and the one jelly toy with a shaft that I have that I can think of off the top of my head. I do it mostly for cleaning purposes although there was one that had some serious color transfer issues going on and I most certainly did not want that going on inside of me.

I do use condoms sometimes because it is a lot easier to clean the vibrator afterwards...just make sure your material is compatible with your condom lube!

I never use condoms on anything! I hate them and for me, it's just another expense that I don't need.
But with saying that, I'm not sensitive to infections at all.

PS - I don't touch jelly or rubber toys.

Only on toys that are not from safe materials, like silicone, glass or stainless steel. I don't use condoms with those materials, but in the past when I had lower grade materials I did use condoms with them.

I never use condoms on my toys, as they are all made of materials I can easily sterilize.

I use them with a water based lube; it makes it easier to clean up.

I don't need condoms on my toys, they're made of safe materials like silicone and stainless steel, and I don't switch them between vaginal and anal use.

Same here. I'd just generally avoid materials that I didn't trust. But I don't have the money to be buying condoms just for use on toys when I could take the time to clean them.

I don't use condoms on my toys, but I only have (at the moment) silicone, glass and hard plastic toys. No jelly (anymore!). I also didn't use condoms on my first vibrator (jelly), but that was because I didn't know any better.

The cost of using condoms on a jelly toy would soon make it more cost effective to just go for the silicone one anyway.

I always use condoms on iffy materials. I don't buy the iffy material toys so I don't mind using the condoms on them.

You're better just skipping on the jelly. Cheap and unhealthy.

I just make sure to clean very well after. Nothing is used anally or shared and it is all safe, cleanable material.

If I'm going anal or have a toy made out of questionable materials (ei: jelly or anything else NON-silicone), I put a condom on it, if it fits. This goes for a few of my dildos and vibrators. Sometimes it makes the sensations better, especially if I used one that is ribbed. Being easier for clean up during the after glow is a plus.

I avoid toys that I feel like I would need to put a condom on.

I hate wasting my non-latex condoms on toys. I've only done so twice, once for a HUGE dildo to help it go in easier and once for an anal toy.

I do on a couple that are porous, so it is easier to clean.

I don't use condoms on toys unless I want to switch from anal to vaginal in the same session. I would use a condom if I had a jelly toy though - I have sensitive skin and it reacts badly to unsafe materials. Also Jelly is porous and difficult to clean, so using a condom helps keep it from absorbing bacteria. In general I avoid buying Jelly toys because of safety concerns.

I do not because I keep my toys clean and I am the only one using them.

I do if I'm feeling lazy and don't want to bother cleaning a toy. Highly textured ones or ones with lots of nooks and crannies, especially.

Before I realized there was a difference between a quality toy and the cheapest on the shelf, I'd use them on toys that were...uncomfortable to use. Eek!

I don't share my toys or switch orifices, so that's not an issue I have to deal with, right now.
