I would absolutely love to do a "dorm friendly" store! I've spent the last 4 years figuring out what is and isn't practical for the life of the average dorm-dwelling sex toy lover. For example:
- Thin walls mean they can't sound like blenders or jackhammers!
- Communal bathrooms mean toys must be very easy to clean, often without the use of a sink. High maintenance is generally impractical.
- Again because of communal bathrooms, lubes and massage products that don't leave you feeling like you need to take a shower once you're done. Because that can be a hassle if you have to get your stuff together and run down the hall just to rinse off some lube or sticky massage oil. And if there isn't a shower free? You're out of luck.
- Many have room mates who may or may not be comfortable with you and your toys. Toys that won't be obvious if left sitting out (Hitachi, Ideal, etc massagers) are great for that; smaller toys are easier to hide than giant ones, and straight toys are easier to hide than large, oddly shaped toys (think y-shaped dildos, double dongs, realistic dildos with large balls, etc). Also, discrete storage options are necessary; too many scream "I'm hiding something naughty!" Discrete, easily hidden bondage gear fall under this category as well - under bed sets can be hidden much more easily than frames, ya know, and are much faster to hide than rope.
- For many students in dorms, the shower may be one of the only times they can get alone time for masturbation. Truly waterproof toys that will actually keep the insides of the toy dry are a must!
- Quality on a budget toys. While some college students have cash to burn on lots of expensive toys, most of us have to stick to a strict budget (or eat ramen for a while to afford that lovely dildo). These would be "best bang for your buck" toys: good quality, lots of variety if it vibrates, waterproof, versatile, sturdy, long life span, quiet... you get the picture. less
