Personally, this pandemic has already altered my lifestyle, mainly due to some pre-existing health conditions, which now means being among the high risk to this pandemic. It has seen me take some extremely vigilant measures such as restricting myself only to stay indoors as well as sanitizing everything that comes into my house. Moreover, everyone, who comes into my home I take him/her as a possible source of Coronavirus, and this means I can't interacting with them directly. The pandemic has constrained people indoors doing nothing, and this is what is bring out the idea of embracing sex toys to satisfy sexual desires reliably.

Taking precautions is one way of appreciating your life, and this means it is okay to buy a sex toy during this COVID-15 pandemic. However, it is worth noting that we should purchase anything with diligence, and this means taking some calculated steps.

Why should you buy sex toys during COVID-19 pandemic anyway?

For sure, sex toys are a great source of enjoyment in sex life, and for the several years since their introduction in the market, many people are embracing them to get more frisky as well are relieving their stress. Remember, coincidence doesn't happen all the time so in case your partner isn't in your quarantine room, you will look for new and safer ways of connecting with them while not in the same place. Since your partners may not be near to you or due to movement restrictions, a sex toy becomes a perfect partner to fulfill your desires. It is, for this reason, is why modern app-monitored sex toys are becoming the most fantastic way of getting connected with your long distant partners.

Now if you have been wondering how you will use your sex toys once you buy them, these instructions are a great asset to help you on how to do most satisfyingly and securely. Although my procedure may be very detailed, we would prefer to be secure than feel sorry later.

1.Buy your sex toys at the online shops rather than those from in-person shops. In my opinion, during this coronavirus pandemic, shopping your sex toys online is far much safer than when you go in-person to buy them. This is attributed to the fact that most sex toy boutiques are relative shall and sometimes overcrowded due to the little room thus making it hard or impossible for the 3-meter social separation. Most online shops, including those of sex toys, usually ship their products from large warehouses where chances of coming near an infected person are quite minimal since already the stipulated social distancing is observed in these warehouses. The chances of meeting an infected person handling your items are rare when you purchase in an online shop. Moreover, remember only to select body-safe sex toys since not all sex toy material is made in the same way. In my previous post, I wrote about the importance and the impacts of Sex toy materials on your safety. If you aren't sure where to shop online, high-quality sex toys, visit the Lovehoney, SextoyUnion and SheVibe, which are my preferred online sex toy shops.

2.If you are looking for the lazy way but a slow one, you can decide to put your newly bought package in a dry and clean container and have it stay there for about four days intact. The research has already revealed that the COVID-19 can only survive for a maximum of 72 hours on a plastic and stainless steel surface while on a cardboard, the virus survives for only 24 hours. It, therefore, means if you put your package inside a bin and close it with a lid, the COVID-19 will hypothetically perish.

However, if you are looking for quicker ways, follow these steps.

3.Do away with the shipping package since the COVID-19 can only survive to a maximum of 24 hours on such cardboard. Since it may not be possible to know how many people have come in contact with this box, you need to take precautions when handling it. For instance, you can put on your gloves while opening the external package and dump its contents onto an easy to clean surface without getting into contact with the material. After emptying my content, I just put this shipping box in my recycling bin situated outside my house. I also ensure I won't come in contact with the shipping box once again so that I can sanitize or wash my hands for about 20 seconds. After that, I use Lysol/ Clorox wipes to disinfect any surface I have come into contact with like the outside recycling bin.

4.Unwrap your toys from its package and throw the box away. Using my clean hands, I can now handle my sex toys packaging. Since most sex toys come in plastic or cardboard packaging, the COVID-19 can only last for a maximum of 72 hours and 24 hours respectively on such . I also embrace the open-box and dump-content procedure when removing the toys charger, instruction, among other accessories.

5. The cleaning process for my sex toys.

 Precisely, at this moment, I make sure that everything is thoroughly sanitized. Assume that the manufacturer has not packaged the package for the last 72 hours and to end this doubt, clean your sex toys so that you are 100% happy and satisfied with your gadgets. Ensure your hands are clean while disinfecting your sex toy. Note that most of plastic, glass, stainless steel and silicone sex toys can be easily wiped using the bleach solutions (10%). Although I am not very sure about the impact of Clorox/Lysol on all types of sex toys models, so far, I have no issues with those models, I have used these cleaning agents. If your toy is waterproof, the better for you since you can wash it for about 20 seconds using warm and soapy water and paying particular attention to crannies and nooks. After you are done cleaning your sex toys, it is now time to wash your hands at least for 20 seconds.

Additional precautionary tips.

Make sure that you disinfect any surface that could have probably come in contact with the shipping material such as the floor of your car. Remember, NEVER touch your face while using the above steps. Ensure to wash all the clothes you were in immediately after arriving at your home as well as taking a warm shower. Try to get your package directed to your home instead of to the post office; otherwise, it might sometimes take until the pandemic cools down. If you get a chance to pick it, ensure you have gloves and provide to observe the 2-meter social distancing. Remove the dirty gloves and dumb them into the trash bin before getting into your car. Moreover, remember this isn't the best time to share your sex toys with anyone you not in the same quarantine room.

 

Is it worth observing these guidelines?

Probably yes. Remember, the virus is invisible, and there are high chances of getting exposed to the virus if I don't take precautions carefully. Although you may not be the one in the high-risk category, you can still transmit it to those who love to have a pre-existing condition. All in all the most important thing is to enjoy yourself and most securely so let Coronavirus not worry you so much, Buy your sex toys today from an online store and enjoy nonstop.
