Can You Share an Intimate Device With a Partner?

FORTION JOURNAL · DEVICE CARE

A shared product can seem like a natural next step, but curiosity is only the beginning of the conversation. You also need to know whether the device is designed for shared use and how the manufacturer says to handle hygiene.

Ask before assuming

Talk about what each person is comfortable with, including whether they want to share at all. Then check the instructions for the exact model. Cleaning a product does not automatically mean that sharing is appropriate.

Keep the decision easy to change

If the guidance is unclear, ask the manufacturer before using it together. Follow any advice on compatible barriers and cleaning between users or body areas. Agreement on one occasion does not mean either person has agreed to every future use.
