I always measure because
1) that's the way I am
2) the measurements are often off by 1/4 or sometimes more

When you get a new dildo, do you measure it? Do you find it to be accurate as described by the manufacturer?

Never measured a toy, but I might in the future

Yeah me too. Sometimes they just look wayyy off, that is the only time I bother to actually measure.

Seems they oversell it a bit in my experience, like it's supposed to be an 8in. and it's more like 7 1\2, same thing with girth.

I have never measured, I always have assumed that it was right
03/17/2011
I've never measured them either, but now I feel like I want to. lol I would definitely measure it if I were doing a review on an item though.
03/17/2011
I never thought to measure it... maybe I will now.
03/17/2011
I put girth measurements in my EF searches since they're generally pretty accurate, give or take a quarter. Before I buy it, I usually check out the material firmness and eyeball the actual size picture before I buy it. I know by now what will fit and feel good and what won't.
03/17/2011
I never even thought of it. Although I suppose I would've if I had noticed it seemed off. Now if I start measuring everything, at least I won't feel crazy. Hah!
03/17/2011
Sometimes I think the measurements are a little off, but I can't be sure because I lost my little measuring thing. :/
03/18/2011
I don't measure them unless they seem off to me from what is described on the site. Maybe now I'll start though.

Yes, I do too when it comes for reviews but not for my personal toys, unless something appears way off, but even then.

As part of the review process, yes we measure them. We've found some differences, usually in realistic toys, and usually in their diameters. A manufacturer may say 1.5" (for example) but the heads are often larger than that.

I don't measure unless I find it to be off.
03/31/2011
nope
03/31/2011
I measure a few things.
04/06/2011
I've never measured a toy, but I might start!
11/27/2011
since ive already bought it i jsut try it out and then i ll know if i like it or not!
11/28/2011
Not beyond a simple eyeball and a test fit.

I don't measure right when I get the toy, I measure when I write a review. Most of the time, the measurements are close or right on. The only time I always get differences is with glass pieces, but that's understandable if they're made by hand and you can't expect every piece to be exact.
03/19/2012
I always measure these days, after a bad experience buying anal toys which were bigger than advertised.
03/19/2012
I don't really measure mine but I do read the reviews in advance that people post to see if the actual size differs from the product specs.
03/19/2012
I think I've measured a few times. Generally, no.
03/19/2012
I only measure my toys when reviewing and most of the time the info from manufacturer is correct.

Weird, so many guys brag about their size and they are average,normal and regular sized. This guy is big (OK huge) and he doesn't really believe it. He's looking at it from a different angle than I am, I think. He's never seen that damn thing coming at him, either.
I haven't done a review for an insertable dil or vibrator yet, but I would measure one for that too. less

I absolutely had to pull out the tape measure, he was WAY off!!

Interesting that i ran across this thread. I just purchased a glass toy from a company that i formerly thought of as one of the best. The size of the head of the toy was so far off from the video. Turns out the company redesigned the toy. Probably to save a few cents per item. Now the quality of the toy is shit.
03/21/2012
I don't.
