A dental dam is a latex or polyurethane (very thin, gentle plastic) square, of about 15cm by 15cm, which you can use to cover the anus or female genitals during oral sex. It acts as a barrier to help prevent sexually transmitted infections passing from one person to another.
  • Some infections can be transmitted by hands, fingers and shared vulval rubbing. Wash your hands before and after sex.
  • Wear latex gloves and apply plenty of water-based lubricant for vaginal and anal fisting.
