yes you can. There are several toy cleaners you can buy but you can also clean the non mechanical ones in a vinegar and water solution. For those you cant soak wipe them down after use with a baby wipe and let air dry. If you get an infection do not use the toys until it is gone

Yes from bacteria. I'm sending you some sites that have information I believe you need to know. They will be helpful to you.
Where do UTI's occur in the urinary tract?
In general, the farther the organ in the urinary tract from the place where the bacteria enter, the less likely the organ is to be infected.
Urethritis is infection/inflammation of the urethra. This can be due to other things besides the organisms usually involved in UTI's; in particular, many sexually-transmitted diseases (STD's) appear initially as urethritis. However, stool-related bacteria (the most common bacteria on the skin near the meatus) will also often cause urethritis.
Cystitis is an infection of the bladder. (Strictly speaking, "-itis" means inflammation, and there are non-bacterial reasons for bladder inflammation, but they are much less common than bacterial infection.) This is the most common form of UTI; it can be aggravated if the bladder does not empty completely when you urinate. (Some people have valves at the bladder end of the urethra as well as at the bladder ends of the ureters. You aren't supposed to have urethral valves except for the sphincter; these "extra" valves usually prevent complete bladder emptying and make cystitis more likely.)
Ureteritis is infection of a ureter. This can occur if the bacteria entered the urinary tract from above, or if the ureter-to-bladder valves don't work properly and allow urine to "reflux" from the bladder into the ureters.
Pyelonephritis is an infection of the kidney itself. This can happen with infection from above, or if reflux into the ureters is so bad that infected urine refluxes all the way to the kidney.

These are all good sites that include symtons, casues, diseases, risk & treatments. If your playing with make sure they are clean. Hope this helps you.

Here are facts about a urinary tract infection:
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is defined as the presence of multiplying micro-organisms (bugs) in the tract through which urine flows from the kidneys via the bladder to the outside world.
The condition ranges from cystitis (a mild but distressing inflammation that is limited to the bladder) to severe infections of the kidney such as pyelonephritis (when the infection has reached the kidney tissue itself).Symptoms differ, depending on whether the infection affects the lower (bladder and urethra) or upper (kidneys and ureters) parts of the urinary tract.The symptoms of lower urinary tract infection are dysuria (burning on passing urine), frequency (frequent need to pass urine) and urgency (compelling need to urinate). The urine can be cloudy with an offensive odour. In older men, generalised symptoms such as confusion and incontinence can be present. Urine infections are much commoner in the elderly, due to poor bladder emptying, an enlarged prostate, or incontinence associated with stroke or dementia.The symptoms of upper urinary tract infection are the same as lower tract symptoms plus loin (flank) pain, fever and chills. The patient is likely to be ill and might require hospital admission.

Yes. It is very common.
The female anatomy is prone to getting UTIs because of the proximity of the urethra to the anus. The perianal region is not very big. If you use toys, you must be careful to keep them clean.
