How do lesbians engage in safe sex? Dental dams? Is there anything else used?

Good question!
Lesbian sex, like all sex, should be done safely. Doesn't matter that sexually transmitted diseases have lower risks of transmission between women- the risks are still there.
Always put condoms on sex toys, and change the condoms when you change who you're using them on. If you haven't used this rule before, boil the sex toys to sterilize them (if you can), or wash them in the dishwasher or plenty of hot, soapy water before using them again. For cunnilingus (oral sex) and analingus, you're going to want to use dental dams or Saran wrap. Whenever touching the genital area, always wear gloves, and make sure not to cross-contaminate by touching yourself with infected gloves.
Hope that helps.
Be safe and happy!

I guess dams are one thing yes. Also having a shower before and after. Finding out if your partner has anything and having tests regularly. Not doing it during periods, vag problems or with cuts.
