I am wondering if I am the only one who hates the thought of having to purchase condoms or toy covers for use with items that are not 100% silicone. I am prone to infections easily and the thought of purchasing condoms every time we want to play with a toy in addition to my birth control prescription irritates me just a bit. So...how about you?

What are your thoughts on having to use condoms with certain toy materials (jelly, rubber, TPRs)?

We use silicone almost exclusively
12/12/2010
I only have one toy that I use a condom on. That one is the wife's and is made from TPR but I do not use it that often. Most of what I buy can be sanitized to that helps a bunch.
12/12/2010
I voted that I'm okay with it if I really like the toy.
12/12/2010
Silicone is the way to go, but i have made a *very* few exceptions for unique or interesting toys not available in silicone
12/12/2010
I agree silicone is the way to go - but I still have some TPR and jelly toys that we like. My wife tolerates them quite well. We had one that started to cause a burning sensation and used a condom on it for a while. Eventually I just threw it away - and interestingly bought another jelly dildo to replace it - and so far so good. If we experience any trouble, it was cheap enough to throw out and replace.
12/12/2010
If I really do like the toy, I'm okay with it.
12/13/2010
I use mostly condom-less toys that can be cleaned/sanitized and have no chemical risk. I have a few that aren't, but for the most part everything is (especially insertables).
By the time you tally up the costs of condoms over a few years and then replacing the toy when it finally gives out silicone/glass/metal/w hatever starts to look like a better deal.

I am always willing to use a condom if the toy is worth it. I need to get some more, now that I think of it.
12/13/2010
I'm okay with using a condom if I love the toy, but it makes use of that toy much more rare. Spending money on condoms for toys just feels wrong.
12/13/2010
I would prefer to only use silicone or other materials that do not need a condom, but I've been wanting to try out a Cyberskin Dildo for a while and have my first on it's way to me now. If I love it, I will continue to use it with a condom, but if it isn't better than the toys I currently have... then it will probably be retired after I review it.

Doesn't a condom kind of defeat the use of the texture? I just don't get it...I think we would all be willing to save our pennies for toys that are 100% safe instead of polluting the environment with used condoms.

Most of my dildos are cyberskin, UR3 or TPR and I never use condoms on mine. Plus I have NEVER had an injection or anything. They aren't as bad as people make out.
I'm not going to waste money on condoms when that can go into getting more toys!

My husband looks at my pussy the wrong way and I'm calling the doc for a metronidazole script. :p 100% silicone only, please!
12/16/2010
I don't really have to worry about sharing toys with the wife, although butt plugs get wrapped for use by one if we both use it.
12/16/2010
i think condoms on a toy is a waste of money...bad for the environment too.
12/16/2010
I prefer not to so I try and get stuff that does not need wrapping. But it is ok if it is a good toy

Thats fair enough (and understandable) for people who know they are more susceptible to infections but it's also unfair then for these toys to be put in the 'risky' basket because that scares a lot of people off by them. Which is a real pitty cause they are fabulous feeling.

I only buy them cause they feel real so I personally don't want to cover them up.
I was only stating my opinion ... which is, they aren't as bad as most make out ... by saying this, I don't think a lot of the people who boo these toys have even tried them (they just go by what Eden rates them - which is very handy!). Again - understandable for those who are susceptible to infections.

Shellz31 - I agree. The odor of jelly can be a distraction but for price-to-performance you can't beat the stuff. We're equal opportunity - glass, steel, aluminum, silicone, vixskin, jelly, plastic - got'm all!

I have nothing against people who choose to play it safe - that's just not me - never had a flue shot - I'm just not a germ-o-phobe or material-snob.

There are some great looking jelly ones around though that I have eyed up...hehe.
I have started getting into silicone and bought my first VixSkin (which is awesome) in my last order because I don't want all my dildos to have to be powdered. I don't mind having some, but also want some dildos that are more simple to look after.
I've never had a flu shot either. I hear too many times that people end up with the flu after having the shot. I prefer to take my chances.
I do have a big issue with germs...lol. But more so other peoples - which is why my own porous toys don't bother me.

I don't have any toys that need condoms and don't plan on getting any. If I used condoms for sex and had them around anyways it might not be as big of a deal, but I'd hate to have to buy condoms just for toys.
12/17/2010
The idea of needing to purchase a condom to safely use a SEX toy (which should be designed to safely insert into the body) really irks me. Condoms aren't cheap. By the time you've spent the money on enough condoms to use the toy multiple times, you could've bought a toy with higher quality, safer materials.
12/17/2010
I wouldn't mind if I liked the toy...I'm just doubtful if I'd ever find such a toy. The closest is my collection fleshlight.
I ordered a rubber toy for review because their really isn't any like it in safer materials; I'm not done testing it but so far it is not working out. Point being I'm open to the idea of using toys with a condom, it is just not likely.
P.S. the cost of condom right now isn't a problem for me; I pick them up for free at my campus Health center.

I don't have any toys that would require a condom, but then again I'm not particularly sensitive to any materials.
12/20/2010
It would have to be something REALLY special for me to put up with the cost and trouble of using condoms with a toy.

I'm the only one who uses my toys, so I don't worry about this so much.
12/27/2010
Generally, I purchase only non porous toys.
However, I'm lucky in that I'm not prone to infections at all so if I do buy a cheaper, porous toy, I don't have to use a condom with it. I also don't expect them to last long. A few months and I toss it away to avoid the germs and ickies that might be hanging around.

It doesn't take many replacement cycles for those 3-month toys to add up to a good lifetime toy. I generally go for the lifetime products (silicone, glass, metal, ceramic).
