Short answer
Sharing can be safe with a little care. Wash the toy thoroughly between users, and use a fresh condom for each person, particularly with porous toys that can't be fully sanitized. Non-porous materials like silicone, glass and steel are the easiest to share hygienically. Never move a toy from anal to vaginal use without washing it or changing the condom.
