So, I was planning on buying a prostrate toy today to take advantage of the sales, but then it went out of stock. As 2 pm starting to creep around, I kept looking back at the Bliss massager in black, thinking "Well, I don't know when I'll get such a good deal (30% off) on it again..." With less than 20 minutes left, I decided to take a chance and buy the Bliss massager.

Have you had this happen to you?

I am nervous I won't like it because I feel my expectations are higher than if I had done more comparative research...

I like to plan out what I am going to get. I would be upset if I were to do that and then got something I did not like.

We are planners. That sucks it went out of stock on you.

I'm usually a planner, but the amazing sales make me buy impulsively at times. I have really liked certain items I've bought, while others proved to be a disaster!

Yeah, I was hoping to get the Aneros helix syn I am still planning on buying it, but I probably won't have enough points until next month.

I usually do plan my purchases, but after planning exactly which corset to buy last week, I was really disappointed with that purchase. Now I am more open to buying something here or there impulsively.

I advise that you create a must have wishlist. Only put things in there that you KNOW will work for you and things that are quality products. Each time you have enough points or extra cash buy from that wishlist. Like today with the 40% off stuff there was 2 things from my must have list on sale. My other must have item was out of stock so I got the two dildos instead. Still got products that I KNOW I will love and will hold up! I usually buy what is on sale at the time. NEVER impulsively! But I will say that mistakes do happen even when you research. I researched the MiMi for weeks and I still ended up hating it.

I almost bought one of the silicone dildos on sale instead. For 40% that's even better than the 30% buy-out assignment option as an advanced reviewer.

I am happy you were able to buy them

That's a good idea. One of the reasons for my purchase today was that I am still very unsure what I like. Maybe even if I don't like it, it'll help form that must have wishlist.

Although the biggest reason might've been that the Bliss massager has LED lights to display its different patterns...

Thats exactly what I was thinking! Each week I try to wait until friday before I place mt order. They have great sales. But I am sad I missed the 40% off glass sale. I bet there was some great options!

Yea that's true! I didn't know I don't like broad stimulation until I got my MiMi. I am now sure that I need pinpoint instead. So it may not be money wasted depending on how you look at it.

That is good to hear, I figure I can't go too wrong with the Bliss massager because it's a quality product and if I really don't like it EF has a return policy which is prompt.

I try to plan what I'm going to buy, that's why my wish list always stays up to date, however if there is a sale & I find something that I think I will enjoy, I will buy it. Most of the time I end up enjoying it. I never buy out of my comfort zone, that way I know I will enjoy it. The only time I buy outside of my comfort zone is if it's a really good deal & my husband & I are willing to try something new or if its a free product, weather it being with a sale or a push assignment.

That makes sense. I am really nervous about buying my fiancé a toy for the first time; I know that will be a planned purchase.

Usually plan, but sometimes buy things on impulse to get free shipping.

Hopefully I like pinpoint stimulation because that is what the Bliss massager is all about.

Oh noes : / When I wasn't editing before, I found that writing reviews were the only way to make headway in saving up points. Maybe a double points special will come next month *fingers crossed, knocking on wood*

If I buy on impulse, it is still something that appeals to me.

if it's really stressing you (i've been there) you can cancel if it hasn't been shipped yet. otherwise, go ahead and research it now in case you want to return it when it arrives. you don't even have to pay return shipping. eden is great about returns.

That's a good call, but I think I am going to give it a chance since it might be a learning experience. I thank you for the suggestion, I didn't think that was an option. ^.^

I like your enthusiasm. I think I'll stick to planning with the occasional impulse purchase since I have few data points for reference as to what I like.
