HILLSBOROUGH, N.C., May 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Adam & Eve and adameve.com, America's most
trusted source for adult products, are back this month with more
information on sex toy habits. This month, the results of their
annual poll reveal how often people clean their sex toys. And the
results may shock you.
While nearly 43% of those polled said they cleaned their sex
toys after every use, 47% of the respondents said they never clean
their sex toys. Just over 7% said they clean their toys after every
few uses, and 3% said they cleaned their toys every few months.
Interestingly, compared to the same question asked in both 2020
and 2016, these numbers have gone down. In 2020, nearly 58% of
respondents said they cleaned their toys after every use, and in
2016, 63% said they did. In 2020, 33% said they never cleaned their
sex toys, while in 2016, 28% said they never did.
"I can't stress how important it is to clean your sex toys after
each use," says Dr. Jenni Skyler,
PhD, LMFT, CST, and resident sexologist at Adam & Eve. "Besides
helping your toys last longer, cleaning your sex toys prevents the
spread of potentially harmful bacteria. Neglecting to clean your
sex toys can lead to urinary tract infections, yeast infections and
bacterial vaginosis. Most toys include cleaning instructions, and
there are numerous toy cleansers available."
"Adam & Eve carries a wide variety of adult toy cleaners for
every type of sex toy," says Chad
Davis, Director of Marketing for Adam & Eve.
The web-based survey, conducted by an independent third party
survey company, of over 1,000 American adults age 18 and up, was
sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and
practices.
