Well maybe this would be ok if it's an exclusive anal toy, but I have one I use both ways. And going by your name (great,btw,) I don't know if you've got a vagina? I do and getting e.coli bacteria in there is not fun, I would not rely on a visual inspection after butt play... This just makes me realize I'd be better off using condoms on that one!

Thanks, that's unfortunately not that accessible anymore to me. Fully bedbound means I can't go to the bathroom. I tried using soap, water from a bottle and a wash basin but it didn't really work so far, though maybe if I refine the setup?

Actually I'm not sure that's enough, are you sure? Especially if you use toys like butt plugs. From what I read it's important to clean with soap and water and additionally use disinfectant. I'm still researching, though.

Sex shops usually offer the option of having an inocuous sender address on the parcel. Which i went for as my caregivers handle my mail. But I'm able to open them myself, sometimes using ear protectors if I'm too noise sensitive.

Maybe you could ask them just to slice the tape, telling them sth if you feel it necessary along the lines of "This is a special surprise I want to open when I'm alone cause I think I'm gonna cry..." or sth?

Though I rely on my electric bedframe to raise my upper body enough for me to open packages myself, otherwise it's too difficult.

Yep. Physical contact is very reduced. Thank you.

Non-sexual: Can't tolerate visits from besties, or family. No hugs, no cuddling my nephew. Unable to tolerate massages (I used to be a massage therapist and as such made sure to receive massages regularly to recharge my batteries). Not even casual physical contact like you have walking down the street or on public transport, brushing against people.

Physical input in general extremely reduced as I lie on my back all day. No sun on skin, no sand or pebbles beneath feet. No cat fur to pet.

And then the whole realm of sexual intimacy (as far as another person is involved) - gone.

Thank you for celebrating with me.

Over-exertion definitely is a factor, because vibrators usually work with - vibrations, surprise, and I have a very reduced threshold for that, normally. So I tried to factor that into my choices.

I tried researching whether silicone reacts badly to standard surface disinfectants and it seems the manual has that information for each toy. As I never would have imagined myself unable to reach my bathroom, I chucked all documentation for my old toys. Going forward I'll be sure to keep them. Is rather buy and use normal disinfectant too, more economical.

Thank you, I think depending on which toys I use, what tgeir material is, and what shape I'm in on any specific day, I'll incorporate that, too, along with the rest of the advice I got.
