wow, everybody has had good experiences w/ sex toys?

hm. for my part, i'll just say that cheapo vibes are better skipped: break or otherwise not up to sustained use.

Cheap strap-ons are the worst. Good Strap-ons are the best.

The worst thing I have bought lately were a pair of vibrating nipple clamps. They work alright as just clamps, but don't vibrate well. And one of them we almost couldn't get to work to try it out.

We bought a kit online several years ago that included a slim 4 inch vibe, an egg, vibrating cock ring, regular adjustable cock ring, and lots of different sleeves for the vibe (see attachment). Our mistake was not getting the dimensions of the toys...the vibe and sleeves appeared to be several times their actual size in the photos, so we were shocked about how tiny everything was. Plus, all of the sleeves are absolutely useless... cheap, flimsy things that don't add any pleasure at all.

We do use the wimpy vibe, egg, and adjustable cock ring occasionally though, and the kit was only about $12, so maybe it wasn't a complete waste. And we learned a valuable lesson about getting detailed information and reading reviews before buying, and haven't wasted a penny on anything since.

If it's not too much trouble, could tell me if these ones are what you're talking about ? I was considering purchasing them other day, but the batteries were dead in the store and I didn't know how well they worked.

Oh no problem. They are called Pinch n' Pleaz. I got them through one of those adult parties. They looked like so much fun and we had been looking at them for awhile, so I was very disappointed.
But I like that they are adjustable and they do work as regular clamps. (Gotta look on the bright side sometimes, lol).

I'm sorry, I didn't click on the link before replying. These are essentially the same thing as what is on the site. These ones are black tipped and silver elsewhere. But they have the watch batteries and are adjustable just like those ones.

Thank you! We'll probably go with the non-vibrating ones then.

Your welcome. I'm glad I could help.

I made the mistake *once* of buying a cheap toy. It was a plain plastic vibrator, but the motor in it must have been exceptionally chintzy, as it didn't provide much in the way of sensation. It DID, however, produce plenty of noise. It was ridiculous how loud it was. Pretty much unusable.

I've got a set of regular ones that I'm really happy with. If you're interested, I'll see if I can dig up where I found them. They are the tweezer ones, fully adjustable, and have a rubber coating on the tip to help with removal and such. I've also got another pair that are connected with a chain and there's a weight you can add or not that are rather nice. They are also adjustable.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you!
