According to the U.K. Sun, a British gynecologist is telling women they should not use electric toothbrushes to masturbate with despite the device being used to help one character in a popular TV show get herself off. A toothbrush was used to masturbate with in the Netflix show ‘Orange Is the New Black,’ reportedly starting a trend that could seriously damage a woman’s genitalia.

“This interesting new trend, as with many similar developments, can potentially be very harmful,” gynecologist Anne Henderson told the Sun. “I would have serious concerns about anyone using an electric toothbrush for anything other than cleaning their teeth. The structure and shape of the toothbrush, regardless of which part is used, could potentially injure, lacerate or cause trauma to the delicate vulval area, particularly the clitoris, especially if one of the more aggressive cleaning heads is used.
