Same here, Meli. I would like if there were more variety and the like - mainly because I'm greedy - but for the moment, I'm okay with it. As long as they don't take away the vampire gloves, I'll be happy. I've had my eye on them for a while.

I think they carry a good amount of stuff, but more would be nice. I'd like a bigger selection on collars, and things of that nature.

Some more high quality stuff would be nice. I'm by no means advanced, but I think a lot of the stuff they sell is targeted towards people who may be trying bdsm for the first time. I rather like extreme restraints but they're also not all that broad

For a relatively mainstream site, I think they have a nice selection of entry level toys at good prices. I wouldn't expect much more than that from a site geared towards the general public.

That said, I wouldn't buy most of the impact toys or restraints on here. I prefer to buy these items from craftsman who are BDSM players themselves, and most of them vend at kink events or (thanks to the internet) sell direct from their own websites. Because the kink world is so diverse, it makes sense that different vendors would develop products for the different niches. They are able to specialize and market their products to a specific demographic with specific tastes.

The notable exception on this site is Aslan Leather. They are among the best in leather gear and I wouldn't hesitate to buy the items they have on this site.

There's never enough BDSM gear... But on a more serious note, I'd love to see EF carry more, I love the reviews here, and you can get way more details about a toy here than you can on most sites, so I'd love it if EF could be my one-stop shop.

I agree with the fact that they have some pretty basic things. More would be nice.

It looks really basic to me.

We just purchased a male chastity device, and would have rather purchased through EF.

I would like seeing EF carry more BDSM gear because I trust the reviews on here.

I put "undecided" as I'm not really into BDSM.

I'd like to add that vegan-friendly bdsm gear would be amazing. There are a few things I would like to get, but then I see that they are leather and I just can't do it. I would be happy to buy some nice faux-leather gear (a paddle, blindfold, floggers, etc.)

considering this isn't really a kink/ fetish website, i think the amount of BDSM gear that it carries is pretty fabulous. if you need anything beyond what's offered here, it would be best to go to a kink oriented store.

I love edenfantasys a lot, bdsm there are a few things I feel they are missing. When I first got here the first thing I was look for a chastity cage for men, the types im used to seeing in the bdsm community, but the selection was mostly straps and rings. I was hoping to see one of those cages with the clear encasing over the penis and a lock.

I can agree that EF's customer base may not be largely into BDSM but it would be nice for there to be a little more selection and a few more items.

Collars and cuffs are lacking. We've been looking around for nice steel restraints and have found them elsewhere but have been hesitant to buy them anywhere else. We know Eden is reliable and we're rather loyal to them.

The other categories are 'okay'. They could be better, but you can't expect them to get in everything if it's not selling.

I don't expect them to bring in things like dungeon furniture(Wouldn't mind it, haha.) but things like steel collars and cuffs seems...reasonable.

It would be nice if they carried more high end gear. There are really only a couple of pieces that are more than entry level.

I answered "no" but I believe it's all about quality over quantity.

There's plenty of other websites for more advanced BDSM gear and furniture. Edenfantasys mostly carries stuff that non bdsm loving kinksters could use as well such as paddles, crops, floggers and a few restraint systems but nothing too advanced.

I was looking at crops and paddles and while their selection is cute and kinda pretty for props, it doesn't seem terribly appealing in terms of quality...

I think BDSM is a pretty common kink these days. Most couples are down to try a little softcore bondage these days. But the more hardcore players who are going to invest a lot in their toychest are slightly rarer, and EF doesn't necessarily cater to that small market.

On the other hand, I was looking at some other websites, and relatively speaking, EF does have a pretty good selection and stellar prices. So kudos to you, EF. I think you're the best bondage sex shop out there that doesn't specialize in kink.

I'm okay with what they have for general sex toys, but the BDSM stuff is lacking. I was looking at a few of the floggers and they look flimsy.

Finding light bedroom bondage items that are a decent quality seems to be a big issue for us.
