Where do you get your toys at?

[pasco_lol_cpl]

Ok so we have given up on buying toys at the local adult shops. They strike us as over priced and many of them seem to be cheaply made. So where do you all go to buy your toys?

What I'm in the market for right now is a butt plug for my wife. So I'd like to find one that is well made and will last. I'd also like to find one made for women. Most of the ones I have seen so far tonight all appear to be made for men.

*Home Depot*


made my strap on belt out of those cock ring looking things, some chain, and one of those black belts with the silver circles all around it (bought the belt at the dollar store)...made the "dungeon" from home depot stuff too...

as for butt plugs, in ohio theres a place named "priscilla's" i think they're on the interwebs as well :)

[bityme]

You might try AdamEve dot com or the adults only section on ebay (you can get some pretty good deals there).

[Doggiestyle]

Uhhhhhhh at the toy store????? And like Taylor said the Homo Depot is a good place too. You can find butt plugs, butt splices ETC in the electrical dept. They also have a really good supply of basement dungeon accessorys, all you need is a good imagination!! :rolleyes:

Just my :2cents: worth. Your friend, :doggie:..........:flag3:

[codybear3]

We have a shop here called Eros book store, and they got lots of neat thing...
On the web, try www.shoperotica.com ... Good luck... :paw::paw:

[llllllllll]

[Cherokee_Mountaincat]

Happy toying.:bigrin:

"Pricilla's" is now "Cirilla's," at least where I live. Very overpriced!

[Realist]

I found this in some old school papers dated 1951, in the attic of a house I bought years ago. I don't know if it was written to someone, or jsut someone making it up. I know it's not exactly what you wanted, but interesting, nonetheless.

It's about using non-sexual objects to masturbate with:

[B]My mother is especially nosey. I notice things in my drawers and chest are often rearranged and know she has been looking through my things. I know if I had any dirty pictures, or dildoes, Mom would find them.

So, I have learned to find things that look non-sexual, but very good for masturbating. My biggest problem is not making noises, because I would love to have the freedom to yell out when I orgasm! I sometimes cram a a cloth in my mouth before I masturbate and turn my radio up, so no one will hear me.

One of my favorite things is a handle of my dad's big hammer. I put cooking oil, or Vaseline on the handle and squat on it. The heavy head pulls it out of me when I rise and the handle feels delicious as I go down on it! I like to look in the mirror and watch as I play with my nipples and let the hammer fill me.

Screwdrivers with different shaped handles are a lot of fun! Small handled ones with ridges feel so good. Sometimes, I use a really big one that is shaped to fit the hand well. It is tapered at the top, thick in the middle and then thin again, it feels wonderful sliding in and out of me! I don't know why, but I like to see my dad using tools I've masturbated with!

My mother has a big can opener with large rubber coated handles. I like to stick one handle in my pussy and one in my butt and slowly do myself with it. The orgasms are explosive! One time I left too much Vaseline on the handles and I heard my mother complain about the can opener feeling greasy. I loved that!

One time, I read about a girl who loved to masturbate by sitting on the stick shift in her car. When my brother was home from the Army, I slipped outside and tried the gear shift in his old car. I didn't have any lube, so I teased myself until I was really wet, then positioned myself over his shifter and sat down on it! It was a little awkward, but I had an enormous orgasm that way!

One time, I was so horny and began looking around my room for something to masturbate with. I have a tall, thin bottle with small colored marbles inside. I got myself wet and holding the top of the bottle, I inserted it into me and it felt so good going in and out. When I got close to orgasming, I began to flick my finger over my clitoris. I liked hearing the marbles tinkle inside and I soon went over. I left it inside me and in a few minutes I made myself orgasm even harder the second time! Sometimes I put the bottle up in my pussy and then lay on my stomach, humping the bed until I cum. That's great! With the marbles inside, it's pretty noisy, so I have to be careful.

My bed has four removable knobs on the bedposts. There are five progressively larger balls on these knobs. The last two balls are too big to get inside me. I like putting the first two, or three, inside me while I'm fingering my clitoris. Great orgasms!

I also like laying on my stomach with my teddy bear between my legs while I hump his little face. I put his nose right against my vagina and think of him begging me to let him do that. It gets me so hot thinking of my little bear licking me! The orgasms he gives me are so deep!

One time, I was washing clothes and was wearing a short skirt with no panties on. My mother was in the kitchen right next to the utility room. I was so horny and while watching for Mom, I began to finger myself. I was really wet. I involuntarily let out a little yelp, when I orgasmed and my Mom asked what was wrong. I told her I thought I saw a mouse...but it was just a rolled up sock! Wetness was running down my leg!

Another time I was waiting for my dad. He had gone into a store to get something. I was looking through his glove box and saw a small flashlight with a rounded handle. I slid my panties off to one side and began doing myself with the smooth end of the flashlight. It was wonderful! Just before I could orgasm, my dad came back. Later that evening, I slipped out to his car and used the flashlight to finish what I'd started earlier!

One day, I was having one of my rare days at home alone and I began looking for something different to do myself with. I was in the den when I saw some smooth handled pool sticks. I took one and went to my bedroom. I lubed the handle and gave myself a very nice orgasm with it. Later, I inserted a candle in my butt and then used the pool stick to make myself orgasm again. That was so nice!

Since the first time that I made myself orgasm, by humping my teddy bear, I have used coke bottles, hair brush handles, handles of knives, different tools of my dad's, rolled up pillows, the legs of dolls, the handle of an umbrella, and I even came while humping my grandpa's fender on his old Chevy!

I have been doing these things since I was in the third grade and I guess I will always do it. Masturbating is so much fun with non-sexual items and there is nothing to indicate what I've been up to!

This is my secret, so don't tell anyone, OK?

Hmmm, there's a nice-looking handle on a fireplace poker over there!

picturebrite.com
its really a site for gay men, but they heve excellent prices on dildos, I've shoped there many times, give it a look

[littlerayofsunshine]

I prefer to go to the toy store, get to touch things and Since I am a bitch I like to go into the Movies and stand really close to the men while they are picking out there porn till they get nervous and head over to the "Vanilla" kind:tongue:

[recognize]

And like Taylor said the Homo Depot is a good place too. You can find butt plugs, butt splices ETC in the electrical dept. They also have a really good supply of basement dungeon accessorys, all you need is a good imagination!! :rolleyes:

Ummm, that wasnt Taylor ( they all dont look alike)-- That was Vittoria :rolleyes:

I love shopping online at my "Holy Trinity" of retailers:Blowfish (http://blowfish.com/), Babeland (http://babeland.com/), and Good Vibrations (http://goodvibes.com/). Their inventory might not be quite so huge as that of places like Adam & Eve, but I find them highly navigable and, best of all, I know that every piece they have has been carefully chosen because of its quality and caliber and/or was tested by product reviewers who wouldn't stock something they couldn't personally vouch for.

It does tend to make their stuff more expensive overall (even though individual price comparisons seem roughly the same), because they're not stocking the dinky cheap stuff, but it's worth it to me to know that they have a good selection.

I also like JT's Stockroom (http://stockroom.com/home.aspx) and Extreme Restraints (http://extremerestraints.com/) for BDSM toys.

(And sometimes I buy toys I've scouted elsewhere for cheeps on Amazon.com).

[onewhocares]

Most of our toys come from Good Vibrations. We are lucky to have one here in Boston where you can go right to the store and actually touch and feel all of the products, from butt plugs, dildos, harnesses, cock rings and most all other needed items. While I find the adult movie store have variety a true adult toy store tends to carry a well made product. I have also had good luck at Toys of Eros also.

Ok so we have given up on buying toys at the local adult shops. They strike us as over priced and many of them seem to be cheaply made. So where do you all go to buy your toys?

What I'm in the market for right now is a butt plug for my wife. So I'd like to find one that is well made and will last. I'd also like to find one made for women. Most of the ones I have seen so far tonight all appear to be made for men.

I didn't think there were different butt plugs for different sexes. The only time I bought one online was when I could not find it in my local stores. The online site (cheap too) is called: sextoyclub.com

The ones I owned are: med (non vibrating) plug, med (vibrating) plug, "The Plug" (which vibrates & large size), and large size (vibrating) plug.

The med size one I liked but moved on to a vibrating one. I then had to get rid of them when a girl I was dating thought toys were perverse and shit like that. It was easier to get rid of them rather then getting caught...

The worst one I owned was "The Plug". I bought it because it had a different shape to it (which hit the "WOW" spot), was larger then the med size & also had a bullet that you can remove. Without going into detail the toy was horrible without the bullet inserted and the bullet wasnt made well.

All the plugs I owned were made by Doc Johnson and I believe made out of rubber. What can go wrong with a rubber plug? The only thing is eventually I guess the remote stops working. At that point you can use it as a regular plug or spend another $10-$20 for a new one. The remotes only last a few yrs...

[pasco_lol_cpl]

Thanks for all the help so far guys. As for a female vs. male butt plug harness, as far as I can tell the main difference is how it straps through the groin and the cut (women's hip locations are different from men). Still no luck finding one though. :(

[TaylorMade]

I prefer to go to the toy store, get to touch things and Since I am a bitch I like to go into the Movies and stand really close to the men while they are picking out there porn till they get nervous and head over to the "Vanilla" kind:tongue:

That. Is. Evil.

But I like it... ;)

*Taylor*

[Realist]

You ladies are so evil!

You know your power and relish using it on poor, unsuspecting guys!

We're helpless to that power and you know it! Ah, the sweet misery.

[littlerayofsunshine]

In my best Willy Wonka impression:



I know things that are even worse :cutelaugh:suave:

[Polyamerious Phoenix]

Um lets see..

Home Depot

Ebay

the internet

I find the adult shops are over priced as well but i have been known to go in an pick up an item or two when I needed one.

Funny story..

We have a VERY WELL known shop by my home. (A celebrity was caught jerking there) I NEEDED a new toy for a hot date with my hubbie. I stopped in grabed I would say about 5 things (one being a strap on) and go figure the guy behind the counter starts hitting on me. I held up the bag and was like "sorry I already ahve a hot date" and walked out the door.

[grxclaus]

Try bettersex.com. I bought the "Head Honcho" there. It is a great male masturbation tool and fits my average cock very well.

[ziggybabie]

I make mine out of wood. Sure, I get some splinters, but no pain, no gain.

Wait.....oh, uh, wrong thread.

[bhg08054]

I really, really like the toys from Tantus.

Lots of places sell their stuff, and they have a direct site:


http://www.tantusinc.com/

[craziness]

I agree it's definitely cheaper to buy online- I have tried a few different sites but always go back to http://www.pinkcherry.com/
I find their prices really good and the packages come quickly.

[bicurgurl]

I find my toys at www.adultplaytimestore.com (http://www.adultplaytimestore.com)they have a free chat room. I will also try Xandria Collection
Intimate Pleasures (http://www.xandria.com/index.php?id=97) hope this helps ;)

[pasco_lol_cpl]

Ohhh looks like Tantus may have exactly what we're looking for.

[wm1809]

At THE TODD in Tampa

[edmelvis]

Toys R Us( the adult store) lol.

[mn freak]

http://www.smittenkittenonline.com/

They're a very GLBT friendly store.

[BrazosBiMale]

For shopping online, I highly recommend taking a look at http://edenfantasy.com.
Their selection is good, many products have well thought out reviews, their prices are reasonable, their return policy is VERY reasonable, and they have four features that I find extremely valuable.

They solicit quality reviews by paying reviewers in free toys. The ensures that you don't see any one line "This toy was great, you will cum again and again" type reviews that dominate some other sites (Yes, I'm looking at YOU adameve.com). The reviews are well crafted, and you find a reviewer that mirrors your own taste you can easily see other items they've tested.

They have a filtering feature that can't be beat, using checkboxes in the site's sidebar you can narrow your search by type, material, size, price, and a bunch of other features. My wife HATES phthalates, the nasty plastic smelling stuff that never seems to come out of some toys. A couple of clicks ensure that we don't see any of them.

There is also a comparison feature, by clicking on each item, any number of items can be added to a page that compares your selections side by side, so you can compare apples to apples, or double ended dildos to double ended dildos.

Another thing I appreciate is that they have custom pictures of items, and for most insertable items there is the option to view a life size picture of what you're looking at. They even include a way to easily adjust the image to perfectly fit your monitor, so whether you're looking at it on a 9" netbook, or a 24" desktop, you see it life size. This can be invaluable when you're thinking "it's only a 1/2 inch wider", and you see just how BIG something really is.

I went in cold, not knowing anything about harnesses and the dildos to use in them and ended up VERY satisfied. SpareParts joque harness + Nexus Sr = OMG!

And no, I'm not affiliated (:

[Sapphrodite]

As someone who sells (and subsequently owns) a lot of toys, it's not so much where you buy them, but researching them and finding out key information. Here's my 1-2-3 guide to finding the perfect sex toy:

1. What are they made of? Personally, I will *only* buy toys made of silicone, glass, or phlalate-free softer toys: all three of these materials are non-porous and can be safely cleaned to share between partners, as well as not trapping any biological substances or chemical cleaners to go back into your own body.

2. What is the toy used for? In addition to the shape, size and texture (all of which are very important), read the box and any reviews you can find to determine the best use for the toy (g-spot, anal, etc). Don't necessarily buy a toy because it's endorsed by your favourite pornstar either - often they aren't made any better. Now that doesnt mean you can't be more adventurous than the intended toy specialty, but it helps get you find the right 'tool' for the job... ;)

3. Good Vibrations: Have the brass ones to ask someone behind the counter to put *fresh* batteries in it so you can feel the full power of the vibration. Grab the toy and find the location of the vibration on the toy - nothing sucks worse that a cheap toy that vibrates Don't be afraid to ask them if they have a toy that compares to the toy you're looking at, quite often the price difference is between $5-$20, which is the difference between a vibrating paperweight and a really spectacular sex toy. Compare the German and Japanese made motors to cheaper made ones: you'll pay more but won't be disappointed.

Although it's only my :2cents: worth, I have enjoyed emails full of thumbs-up for my advice on helping people choose the right 'bedroom accessories'.

Happy Shopping!!!

[4ourbitimes]

We live Pinkcherry.com. .....has everything you need for fun kinky sex....

[NjbiGuy01]

A friend works at Amazon who told me they do an unreal amount of business in the sex toy trade actually.....We shop locally, then once we know what we want, we find it online for lots less...some stores are abusively high priced and feel creepy to do business in. One place in central NJ is awesome, but about an hour from where we live...we try to hit it a few times a year to see what's new....

[sysper]

usually abs, i don't buy toys too often & it's convenient, plus there's other people there who are thinking of similar things :D not that i ever plan to hookup there just nice to be in there company.

[BiCuriousVAN]

We have quite a few sex shops in Vancouver, especially on the gay strip, so I just go in and look around. I find the staff are very helpful, if you tell them what you want and what you want it for. I must admit, the first few times, I was really nervous and self-conscious, but am fine now. They are used to dealing with nervous people and do a good job of putting you at ease or leaving you alone, if that is what you want. I have also found their advice very helpful too.

[jakeboy]

Adam and eve. Sign up for email. Fantastic sails and free stuff.

[ISOSafe&Discreet]

I've purchased from Amazon but if I remember correctly they show up in your order history so you might want to be careful about that. I usually buy from PleasureMeNow and I've also gone to Good Vibrations on San Pablo Ave in Berkeley, by myself and with an ex gf when we were dating. It's kind of exciting to go in an actually buy something. I'm sure the clerks are so used to it that it's no big deal but to me, it's still a thrill.

[cuttin2dachase]

Adam and eve. Sign up for email. Fantastic sails and free stuff.

I'm with jakeboy. Adam & Eve online is my fave and probably the best known and most reputable of the adult toy sellers. They put on great sales all the time. Everything I have ordered from them was 1st rate and affordably priced. Your items come in a plain brown box and all it says on the label is that it was shipped from Carrboro NC. If there's an Adam & Eve retail store near you, check it out if you want to see the items in more detail than online. If money is not an object, buy them at the store, but you will save 20-30% off retail price by ordering the same items online even with shipping costs. If you establish an online account on this site, you'll get coupons and discounts online you won't get by not joining the site. One caveat to be aware of....regardless of whether you sign up to become a registered customer or not, if you do not want to automatically receive emails or postal mail from A&E and other adult sites, be sure to go to the preferences and uncheck the boxes (which are by default already checked for you to receive both types). My email is private so I'll accept emails, but I unchecked US Mail items because I don't want adult oriented promotional/junk mail sent to my home LOL. ) I have also shopped at Priscilla's retailers and found the same items as A&E carries, but they were WAY more expensive than A&E. I also found Priscilla's porn DVD selection and quality to be poor. The few times I browsed in a seedy, backstreet Mom & Pop type ABS, most of the items looked inferior and were overpriced. I went ahead and bought a couple of things at a couple of those ABSs and was right. The items fell apart or broke or were dangerous (pthalates, sharp edges, etc) and again, the porn DVDs were of poor selection and poor quality.

[PuckeredUp]

Bigsextoystore.com has a huge selection, especially if you're looking for more out-of-the-norm type toys. They also have very reasonable prices. As a couple other people have mentioned, Amazon is also a good source with a huge selection and hard to beat prices. If you're patient and check the site on a regular basis, you can get some unbelievable deals as "add on" items, with free shipping over $35. But yes, those purchases WILL show up in your order history. Although thankfully, sex toys will NOT appear on the homepage as "suggested items you might be interested in" or "recently viewed items"!
