Chlamydia can be passed on by sharing sex toys. Always cover sex toys with a new condom and wash them after use to reduce your risk of getting chlamydia and other STIs. It's important to regularly test for chlamydia, even if you don't have any symptoms, especially if you've had multiple sexual partners.

Can you get an STD from your own toy?

No. Unless more than one person is using the object, it's not possible to get a sexually transmitted infection from masturbating with objects. However, infections can be spread if the objects are shared and someone has an infection. Condoms can be used on toys that go into the vagina or anus.

Can chlamydia be passed through objects?

Chlamydia is an organism that has very specific requirements that allow it to exist in the cervix, urethra, and fallopian tube. (It also can also infect the cornea of the eye.) Because of these specific requirements, chlamydia cannot live outside the body, such as on toilet seats, bath towels or bed linens.
