I was wondering what people do with toys they just don't like. I hate to throw them away, because I feel like I'm throwing away money. I usually hold onto it, hoping that some day I might try it again and enjoy it. It's happened before.

There should be an other option...

If they can't be sterilized, are damaged, etc, i toss them. If not, i either give them away or sell them, depending if they can be sterilized fully.

This. If it was really inexpensive I might throw it away. But, a lot of my friends like things that I don't. So if it can be sterilized and they want it I pass it on to them.

Yup! This.

I would normally vote "other" because it depends on what the toy is, whether I'd throw it away or give it away.

+1, just let them collect in the back of the drawer. Maybe we can use it in the future!

That's what happens to our too. They just sit in a drawer, just incase we find a use. Some are too new to throw away.

If it was an inexpensive toy or if it broke I will throw it away. Otherwise I put it in my giveaway box, hoping that I will find someone who wants them. Unfortunately I don't really have anyone in my life I feel comfortable talking to toys about, so I don't know how I will ever be able to give them away.

This for me too.

I don't have anyone to give mine to and don't know that I would even if I did. I like to have a large collection even if not all of it works for me. I don't like getting rid of toys!!

All of the above. We give away what can be sterilized and throw away what can't. And sometimes things we never use linger in the toy box for some unknown reason.

Wish this was multiple choice. Most duds get thrown away eventually, though I tend to hoard them in the Box of Shame for a while first. If I can fully sterilize it, I might give it to my friend - I did that with a few glass and silicone dildos a while back.

I might give a dud a few chances, but I don't think any have ever redeemed themselves.

I don't know that I would buy a used sex toy! I have several that are broken that I'm just convinced that I'm going to fix someday.

Personally I'd feel weird giving it away, so i would just hang on to it.

I give away sterilizables, but throw away unsterilizables.

For now I just keep them all but if they break, in the garbage they go.

I eventually throw them away if I don't like them, but I have to be really sure I don't like them and it often takes a couple of years.

Me too! lol Sadly, I'm currently seriously running out of room, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to do a purge soon.

Same, I want them to have happy homes with people who might enjoy them

I'm a bit of a pack rat. I haven't even thrown away the one toy I have that broke the first time I tried to use it. I really should get rid of it.

I save all toys until they break. If they break, they're gone. I can think of one silicone toy I tossed, because I absolutely hated it.. And I don't like the idea of giving away a used sex toy. I know lots of people are fine with it, but it's kind of an icky thought to me, so I junked it.

Keep it.

I throw away inexpensive toys that are made out of inferior materials. I'll probably end up keeping silicone toys that I don't like for way longer than I should.

I would keep it, but give it to someone if they seemed interested in it.

I used to keep everything, but they just started getting in the way. I now purge things that I know I'm never going to use again.

I'll keep it just in case...

We have such a large collection that throwing the broken ones away is just part of spring cleaning.
