Assuming you have a decent-sized toy collection, do you find yourself sticking to just one or two favorites, or do they all get used at one time or another?

I have an entire closet dedicated to just my sex toys but there are a select few that I use on a normal basis.

I have a couple favorites that I rotate depending on mood and accessibility. I usually use two in a session, but I have four or five favorite toys out of my collection. I just pick whichever has the characteristics I'm looking for that day; if I'm having a quick session I'll grab the Hitachi but if I want something a bit more drawn out, I'll for for the Eros + a G-spotter, etc. Sometimes I like girthy, sometimes I like thinner with targeted G-spotting, sometimes I want anal, sometimes I just want clit stim.

Sounds like you're on the right track. Researching the materials, functions, and reviews means you'll be an informed buyer. Initially, we got cheap ones, but after our favorite one broke on multiple occasions (after having brought a second one), we started going after better quality.

I've got a fair few, and they most of them see pretty regular use. But they definitely fall into two groups: solo and partnered play. My bullets and such are great for partnered sex, but my wahl 2-speed is definitely and masturbation toy.

Can I ask you to share what those favorite ones are?

I thought I'd add a bit about my experience here since I'm still a relative newbie.

We have three vibrators plus the free bullet we got from here for signing up for the newsletter.

The Butterfly Kiss was the first one we got and it is the first one I'd recommend for folks to try. Why? Its cheap - its not made of jelly (I'm talking about the Cal Exotics one) and it gives you a basic starting point for size and shape. To me its kinda like having a tricycle to help you learn.

We then moved up to the Flexi Ribbed Lover by California Exotics because we knew that I liked the bulb-shaped head and I needed something wider. It had 10 speeds and that was also neat considering their Butterfly Kiss had less.

At the same time, we bought the Opis which is a silicone vibrator which comes to a pointed tip at the end. I love the Opis for its "va va voom" vibrations because they feel deeper than the Flexi. But we have found that the Opis is best for my clitoris and to exercise my Kegel muscles and tighten them because the pointed tip hurts me if we try it for G-Spot. Meanwhile - the Flexi hits the G-Spot every time.

We still use the Butterfly Kiss because it helps me warm up and cool down.

My point? Each one has a great use - each one has a different texture and different controls and for less than $100 (closer to $80 maybe?) we got to try three styles, thee textures and a variety of settings and control panels.

Good luck with whatever you decide - I'm waiting for my reviews on these products to come out.

But basically - I'd try buy a small variety of the less expensive vibrators to find the size and shape and vibration styles that fit you best.

Im just starting out my collection so I only have a few. But I love trying new things and see how they are. But I know I will have a few favourites and will use them (like anything else).

I have a few that I love, but I prefer to keep some variety in the bedroom. I use all of them.

Depends on a lot of factors... which ones have working batteries, which works best for the type of play etc.

I have many toys, but I only use one or two regularly. I need to weed through my collection, I think.

It's easier to use some toys with a partner than by myself. Plus variety in the bed is more fun when you're sharing it!

My toys progressed in quality throughout the years. I don't really know why I still keep the older ones. I guess they gave me so many good memories ;-)

But my newer toys are higher quality and are perfect for my needs. So the others don't really measure up anymore.

I have a decent sized collection and there's always ones that work for me not matter what. There are some that take a little bit of time or play, so they don't get used as much. Then there's the ones that don't quite fit or work or aren't strong enough. If I can sterilize them, they get a new. If I can't (or they're expensive), they sadly sit unused in my toybox while I use my go-to toy(s).

I stick to a couple of favourites, but I mostly like trying new shapes out.

I have several vibes, including one g-spot vibe, that I bought reasonably from this site (love it!). As I live in a dorm, however, I use the quietest one the most. And when I'm in the mood for a more intense orgasm, I will simply smother the noise of my g-spot vibe with a blanket or pillow!

I own a few dozen toys but tend to reach for the same three or four toys most of the time.

I have a decent sized collection and everything gets used fairly regularly. There are a couple things I haven't used since reviewing them because I don't like the material.

I try to get toys that serve different purposes (in shape/size/strength/ma terial/whatever) so it depends more what me or a partner is in the mood for. I rarely use one toy solo, I guess? There's usually more going on.
