Safe sex isn’t just about protection, it’s about freedom, confidence, and enjoying intimacy without worry. Whether you’re a couple exploring new experiences or single and dating, practising safe sex helps protect against STIs, unwanted pregnancy, and builds trust with partners.
At Easy Tiger Bournemouth, we’ve been supporting safe, enjoyable intimacy for over 15 years. Here’s our guide to staying safe, without compromising on pleasure.
1. Always Use Protection (Condoms & Barriers)
Condoms are still the most effective way to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections. They’re widely available, easy to use, and discreet.
Safe sex tip:
-
Check the expiry date.
-
Store condoms somewhere cool and dry.
-
Use a new condom for each partner and each act of sex.
Shop our range of condoms available online with discreet UK delivery.
2. Choose the Right Lubricant
Lubricants reduce friction, prevent discomfort, and make intimacy safer.
-
Water-based lubricants: Safe for condoms and toys.
-
Silicone-based lubricants: Long-lasting, great for water play, but not suitable for silicone toys.
You can find a range of lubricants right here!
3. Keep Adult Toys Clean and Safe
Using toys? Hygiene matters.
-
Wash toys with warm water and an antibacterial toy cleaner after every use.
-
Use condoms if sharing toys with a partner.
-
Store toys separately in clean pouches or cases.

4. Communication Is Key
Safe sex isn’t just physical. Talking with your partner about STI testing, contraception, and boundaries helps build intimacy and trust. A healthy conversation means a more relaxed and enjoyable experience.
5. Don’t Skip Regular Sexual Health Check-Ups
Getting tested for STIs is quick, confidential, and often free via NHS clinics in Bournemouth and across the UK. Regular check-ups keep you and your partners safe, and show you care about their wellbeing.
