More than anything, functionality. After that, it's all window dressing.
Sex Fact: Choosing your Sex Toy
02/23/2012
Functionality and style
02/27/2012
All of the above!
02/28/2012
I definitely consider all of these factors when choosing a toy. Least of all being cost, unless a toy seems wildly unworthy of it's price tag. I expect to pay a high price for high quality and I'm a bit of a toy snob so I only want nice ones. No cheap or low quality toys for me and I prefer rechargeables so they come with a higher cost. The functionality and durability are very important to me. If a toy is very functional, does what I want it to do and will last a long time, it's worth the price. In line with functionality, I also consider ergonomics, how the toy operates, the controls, how easy it is to hold. As far as style, I won't even consider realistic looking toys and I don't like really whimsical or cutesy toys. I won't buy anything with an animal or character on it or anything like that because it creeps me out. I like Lelo and Je Joue style toys because they are usually pretty and feminine and elegant looking. Size is important! I am small and slender with tiny hands so anything I buy needs to fit my body and my hands. Probably the most important factor and the one that is often a deal breaker is material safety. If a toy has all the other factors I want, meets all other criteria, but is made of a material that isn't non-porous and sanitizeable, I won't even consider it.

In her book, Tristan Taormino talks about the different ways to go about choosing your perfect sex toy. By dividing it into easy-to-navigate sections, she talks about the different ways that you can choose your toy.
First off, you should consider the functionality of the toy. What you want the toy to do will make a huge difference as to what toy options are available to you. With toys made for vaginal penetration, erection enhancement, strap-on sex, anal penetration, clitoral vibration, g-spot stimulation, and toys of other options, you want to know what you want to do your toy to do.
Second off, you should consider your style. With all of the different shapes and designs out there, know what type of toy would interest you. Do you prefer them whimsical? What about realistic? Would you like a toy with advanced technology like rechargability or music capability?
Finally, you should also consider the cost, durability, and the size of the toy. Everyone has their own budget, and you should know what you plan on spending on yours. The price of the toy will help determine the durability and how long it will last, so make sure you know how long you want this toy to be in your toy chest. Don't forget to pick a size that will work for your body! Sometimes, those toys can look small in the picture but are huge in real-life, so make sure to check out the measurements and the Real-Size widget to get a good idea of the toy.

Not gunna lie apperance is what draws my attention to an object

Function and style first. Durability can be a deal breaker.

My girlfriend usually looks at them with me wanting my input on it. For her finding one that hits her g-spot is the most important thing.

Where is the "all of the above" option? Definitely!

I think almost every aspect plays into our decisions, but functionality and appearance are big for my wife.

Functionality, cost, and power are what I look for first.
03/16/2012
functionality, cost, and size!
03/16/2012
I usually take all aspects of a toy into consideration, but cost and durability can be more of a factor when the budget tightens.
03/17/2012
I voted for functionality. But it's a bit of everything really.
03/29/2012
I wishlist toys based on their functions and buy them based on cost and my current budget at that time. I have a wishlist purely for those I *wish* I could afford. =P
04/02/2012
Functionality, cost, but I'd rather buy something of amazing quality than having lots of low quality yet functional toys.
04/02/2012
definitely a bit of everything was involved, though I went for non-intimidating and cheap as I'm a newbie and decided I would learn from what I liked/didn't to make decisions in the future. I know I'm going to upgrade to more expensive toys somewhere down the road, but affordability, safety of materials, size, and functionality were all important for me.

I am all about the power, so the more vrooms the better. Size and look isn't really important. Cost is also a big thing obviously. I don't like to buy cheap toys because I think it's a waste. But I also won't pay more than 150 dollars because I just don't think it's worth it

function, cost, and durability go into my decision making
04/09/2012
Functionality of course. Then I'd look at what it's made out of and its price. I find that while buying sex toys it's easier to just follow my instincts. If I see something that I find sexy and turns me on for a decent price that has okay durability, I'd get it.

I'm the same way!! I wishlist a lot of things, because it's just not in my budget right now - especially with how little sex toys would be getting used, I can't justify the extra expense.

I noticed only a few people mentioned aesthetics, and for some reason that's really important to me when picking out a toy, regardless of it's function or material. I want something that looks like something I would use.
Then, I go function and then cost, and materials is something that I'm only recently learning about so only recently has become part of my decision-making process.
04/13/2012
It seems like a pretty obvious and/or popular process.
The way I go: Functionality -> Cost -> Style & Durability
Though, most of the time I seem to think of durability as a subset of "functionality".

Functionality is most important - if it doesn't work, what's the point? I'd say style is the least crucial - good aesthetics might make me lust over a toy, but they won't convince me to buy it unless it has other good features as well.
