We hear this question (and misinformation on this topic) ALL THE TIME, and we decided that today is the day we’re going to answer it.

Whether you’re using sex toys with a partner or solo (to celebrate the fact that May is Masturbation Month), or both, you’ve probably wondered at some point whether they’re actually clean. Like clean-clean. We went straight to the source, the iconic sex educator and owner/founder of Spectrum Boutique, Zoë Ligon, to find out.*

If you’re anything like us, weather that hits the low 50s is feeling dead tropical to you right about now. The spring fever is REAL. But before you head out on spring break (or adult spring break), we’re here to answer your most pressing vacation-related sexual health questions.

If February was the month for romance, March is the month for all forms of self-love. As we get ready to transition into spring, we’re scaling back, focusing on what’s important, and committing to giving ourselves what we need this month. Because no matter what your relationship status is, nobody else can do that for you.
