is my vibrator okay to use after my sister used it?
I'm 15/f and I have recently gotten a vibrator, my older sister who is kind of immature and doesn't know that no means no was bugging to buy it off me or have it and I kept saying no, then she eventually stopped bugging me. I didn't use it for a while when I first got it and a couple days later she took it without permission and used it, then she told me so of course I got mad because it was my personal item. I didn't go to a store and buy it myself and I'm too embarrassed because I'm young, but I want a vibrator that I can use. Would the vibrator be fine if I cleaned it really good? I never got the chance to use it yet and it really ticked me off that she would just go and use it anyways, she only used it one time then gave it back to me but I wouldn't use it because she did and I'm unsure if it's safe to use if it's cleaned.

I don't know how you got hold of a vibrator if you never got it at a store. The same stores sell toy cleaners. Antibacterial soap will work in many situations but depending on the material a sex toy is made of, the cleaning instructions can vary. You can do a search online "how to clean vibrators" >The web has lots of good info. Here's one site to get you started.

What ever you do, cleanse the toy before using it yourself. There are certain materials used for vibrators that will clean but not disinfect well because the material is porous. Jelly toys are very porous. While you can clean them, you can't ensure they are totally disinfected.

It's definitely okay for you to use if you wash it really well. It would be like if someone had used your toothbrush. It's sort of nasty knowing that someone else has, but you can clean it off to the point where whatever came from them is gone and it's completely clean and safe for you to use. Hide it in a place that she won't find it. You don't want her to be using it again. Make sure she knows that what she did was completely disgusting and not okay. Good luck!

Hi there. Obviously it's a personal item, because it's being used very 'personally'. A wash in warm soapy water, then a good clean with something like Milton (or any sterilising fluid used to clean baby items), dri it off and you're OK. As you've used alcohol (or surgical spirit) I'd say you're CLINICALLY safe here! And you'll have a good knowlegde of your sisters personal habits, no doubt? Obviously it'd be nicer if you had one each, and it probably feels a bit 'odd' that you're sharing one, so to speak? But it doesn't have to be destroyed once your sis has enjoyed it...it's not like a hypodermic needle in a syringe or anything of that order (which are never used twice by any person, let alone shared!). In a way, it's a bit like a woman saying she'll never have intercourse with a guy who has had sex with any other woman if you think about it, isn't it? How impossible would that be once you're 20-something?? A good clean after you've used any sort of sex aid yourself is a basic hygeine thing really. And no woman would really want to buy a random 'second-hand' one of course. It'd FEEL a bit 'iffy' hwever much you cleaned it, eh?? I'm certain you can enjoy YOURS in perfect safety. And try and tell her you'd rather she didn't share it, and if the temptation gets a bit much, and she 'borrows' it...tell you, and make sure it's left spotlessly clean and fresh. Vibrators are often used a little more externally, than internally. But even if she's inserted it quite (even very!) deeply, everything we've said holds true. I wasn't assuming she hadn't. Full SP? Ideas of sexually transmitted infections can be a worry. But we're talking 'the exchange of live, fresh body fluids' here in most cases. Milder 'fungal' (like thrush) infections COULD be passed by sharing an unwashed sex aid. But the fungus (called candida) is in our bodies all the time ANYWAY, and kept naturally 'in check' when you're normally fit and healthy. Thrush (sore, a bit red and itchy or burning feeling 'down there') comes about when the candida fungus gets a bit out of control. Non prescription creams sort it out with ease. And it's only partly a sexually transmitted infection at all, it can happen for any number of reasons, many of them not actually related to sex or penetration of yourself in any way. Feel better? Hope so.
