Is it safe?

[nellybell]

So, along with this being open for questions of safety I figured I would also add in little issues that I see pop up in dares. Here is the latest one.


So I came across this link while I was looking through some of the adds. I believe it was darkwater that posted it in response to a dare involving trying to keep soap in someone's vigina for some period of time. (thanks so much for the link :3) I saw a similar dare somewhere recently but I can't remeber quite where it is. If someone comes across it please link this on there too.

This link gives good avice on general vaginal health and risks associated with using certain cleaning products. These are things that I don't think many women are aware of and could be benifical just in general not just for dares involving things.

Yeah, i posted twice about it in response to someone daring it (i think it was the same person in both threads actually). Can't even remember where i learned about it, but it's definitely a good thing to add to a list like this.

There is also this Dare PSA posted in the dare section a few days ago, contains some good and relevant information too

Oh thank goodness. I was kicking myself because I couldn't remeber where it was and I had had doubts about it but was a little too tired to go looking x.x

You beat me to posting that on here I was going to post that next just didn't quite hop on it tonight.

But yeah, the above link also has good practical information about somethings people just might forget about or over look when thinking of a dare.

Haha, no problem. I thought about posting it in the Dare PSA topic but i hadn't come around to it. So i was pleasantly surprised when i saw your post

Relayer makes a good point too. Above all make sure you feel good about a dare before doing it, there is absolutely no obligation to do something you don't feel good about (even if it falls within you likes!)

I would hope that people realise that this is, after all, just a website.

You're under no obligation to ever do any dares - even if you say you'll do anything. Nobody will come round your house and shoot your dog if you don't.

So, apply common sense. If you do something stupid because someone dared you to, and it kills you or otherwise causes you harm, then frankly you've nobody but yourself to blame. Common sense people. Don't be an idiot.

Well, the point of this thread is sort of to advise on things that aren't quite common knowledge. Things that don't sound particularly dangerous but you still have some doubts about.

What it seems to sort of be turning to is also to give some common sense to people who are very new to this and don't know. A lot of the stuff on here isn't common knowledge outside of your little world so newer members could fall victim to stupid dares that they don't know could be dangerous. People can be blind to things sometimes.

I wasn't at all suggesting that this thread was pointless - to the contrary I feel it's a good idea to have a thread where people can go "Uhh, is this safe?" I just felt it necessary to point out that you're never obligated to do anything, and that you are responsible for your own safety. People can sometimes have the mentality of "Well, I was dared to, so I have to do it now."

Is it safe to put toothpaste down there? (around,in, near, ect)

[nellybell]

Congrats on being my first offical question :3

There was a thread pretaining to this floating around in the advise section.

Pretty much the general consenses is that is it generally safe.

However, with the above warning about vaginal health I would warn against excessive use inside of your vagina. With all the chamicals and such in toothpaste it could probably set off the pH without much issue. That leaves you open to infection and just general unpleasentness, and not the good kind. Also some brands of toothpaste I've heard use sugar and other sweetening substances. Excessive sweets stuff in your vagina can lead to nasty yeast infection.

So a light coating over an object or a small dab on your finger and rubbed around should give you the desired effect without causing too many other complications.

I feel like a similar thing should be true for use in your ass. A small amount will be more than enough to give a good burning sensation. I think that if enough is inserted your intestines will do what they are designed to do which is to absorb any nurtients and water that it can. As you're not supposed to swallow toothpaste in almost any amount other than whats left on your teeth after you rinse and maybe the occational accidental swallow, having it absorbed through your intestines probably would be a bad thing.

So I would basically say, everything in moderation. You don't need a lot of it to reach a point of burning. Don't do any of those rediculas dares where they dare you to use an entire tube of toothpaste and shit. Just not a good idea. Lastly, make sure you clean up properly down there when you're all done and you should be good to go. :3

~Happy daring!
