I think your thoughts about this are correct. Transmission would be very unlikely through a sex toy as the virus is so rarely shed from the genital tract and most women in that age group will already have HSV 1 and virus will be lost between the two of you on the toy. We don’t have good transmission data on the question that you ask, specifically but I overall the risk is really low for your partners.
