This is exactly why a lot of bottoms and s-types have certain things that are their own.  Restraints, handcuffs, etc, if they don't want something that's been used on another person, that's the way to go.  Most rope enthusiasts that I know don't have separate rope for everybody that they tie up.  It gets washed.  Any toy that only comes in contact with sweat (not other body fluids) basically get sorted into the 'can be cleaned' pile.

Other body fluids and any toy that is inserted in any way, I believe should be one person use.  I might be in the minority when it comes to the strap-on/anal plug category.  They can be cleaned, but it's My personal preference.  I know I wouldn't really want a vibrator used on Me that's been used on someone else, so I tend to think of it in those terms.

This. All of it.
I have my own toybag and all of my own insertables for a reason.
I also made my own cuffs because I dislike the thought of wearing a set that have been soaked in someone else's sweat. Health issues aside, it just squicks me.

In regard to the submissive who carries her own toys and the concept of not wanting something used on you that was used on someone else... particularly in regard to the psychological/emotional aspect of it as opposed to the health aspect: What happens when you meet a dominant who says "Oh, I refuse to use that flogger on you that was used on you by Dom X. That creeps me out."  [:)]
