you should take a shower – and if possible, use the toilet. Clear that bad boy out. If you’re really worried about poop while taking part in prostate stimulation, then try an anal douching kit or even an enema before diving in. (The more you take part in anal play, the easier all this gets).

This is not optional. Going in dry is uncomfortable at best and painful at worst and can lead to tears (both the eye kind and the butt kind).

If you are sharing the vibrating butt plug between two people, you should use a fresh condom on it every time. Bacteria live in your butt, and you don’t want to share it around. Also, STIs are no fun.

If you are switching the vibrating butt plug between other holes, like between a vagina and anus – the same rule applies – use a fresh condom every time. The bacteria that live in your anus will wreak havoc on a vagina, which regulates itself. Don’t mess with nature, team.
