To get an STI from a sex toy , it has to have been used by a person who had an STI and then not properly cleaned before you used it. Any STI that can be transmitted through sexual activity can be spread via a shared sex toy — including STIs that are spread via bodily fluids and those spread through skin-to-skin contact. Sometimes this happens because you used a sex toy that a person with bacterial vaginosis or a yeast infection used without it being properly cleaned before use.

Vulvodynia Vestibulodynia is pain at the vaginal entrance. The pain is usually longstanding and stops you from having enjoyable sex, wearing tight jeans, cycling, exercising and sitting.

Some women have pain in one small area, while others have a more widespread involvement that can include areas all around the opening.

Pain in this area is called Vestibulodynia, while Vulvodynia can refer to pain anywhere on the vulva.
