Sex toys are safe for bodily use, but they can be quite reactive when put next to alike or opposing materials. It is vital to be careful when storing your sex toys. If you mix your sex toys (particularly silicone, rubber, latex, realistic feel and jelly sex toys) you may soon discover that they start to look melted or slightly misshapen.

We can't overstate how important it is that you store your sex toys separately if you don't want a nasty surprise the next time you reach for your favourite toy.

Above: The last thing you want is to buy a new sex toy, only to find it's melted or been ruined due to poor storage. Watch this video guide with Annabelle and learn a few tricks to keep your toys in tip-top condition.
