5. Curling Iron

If you are using the curling iron to masturbate, do make sure that you turn it off. Also, if you are using a curling iron which is too wide, it can put pressure and irritate your urethra.

The bacteria from the raw and uncooked meat can easily be transferred to your vagina. Masturbating by inserting hot dogs into your vagina can put you at risk of vaginal irritation, infection and even UTIs.

If you suspect any discomfort or irritation by using one of these DIY sex toys, make sure that you visit the doctor immediately. The only way to know for sure that you have an infection is to do a urine culture.
