I'm too shy to ever walk into a real sex toy store...
Do you prefer to buy sex toys from online or regular stores and why?
12/06/2011
I prefer online first and foremost because EF KICKS ASS and secondly because I feel like I can take my time to view each product in detail, read reviews, and compare things. On top of that, it is really nice to browse sex toys without worrying about some weirdo stare you done... creepy!

I strongly prefer online. I can comparison shop prices and reviews, it's discreet, and I love getting packages

I preferr to go online specifically for the pricing and selection. The only reason I ever go to a regular store is if we are feeling suddenly frisky.

I just love buying from Eden more than anywhere else. There are benefits to buying in store, like that you get to REALLY get a grip on the size of the toy, and you can take it right home instead of waiting for shipping. But I prefer buying online because I can look at reviews and really compare whether I want a toy before committing to it!

I buy online (mostly) because it's usually cheaper and more options. I've found that BDSM toys are often better to buy in person because quality is more important and I like to feel them

There's more of a selection and it costs less to buy toys online from what I've noticed. Plus, in the ones I've been to at least, there aren't as many people present. So I feel pressured to purchase something when the clerk is watching me with hawk eyes.

Online has a far better selection. The local shops were i'm from have very few choices

I prefer online stores because of a few reasons: 1) It is not embarrassing 2) I can read reviews on the toys so that I can decide what is best and 3) I can easily price compare from my computer.

I tend to go to real stores to try the toys out before I buy them online. The reason I like to buy toys online is because there's no sales tax on most items (this is about 11% in my city), the price is better online, most sites allow returns, and free shipping most of the time.

I'd save somewhere between 30-40 dollars per toy when I buy them online.

I prefer buying online. I'm a pretty open person, and I don't really care how people perceive me, but it's still just less awkward doing it online. It's more anonymously.

I prefer shopping for toys online not only for the price savings and selection, but the privacy issue. HOWEVER due to the fact that most of my toys are purchased on US sites, (I live in Canada) I can just picture in my mind the border inspectors going through my boxes and having a good laugh, which in turn makes me laugh

Just online. There is a few in the area. But I'm a little too shy to go into. My owner has an assignmnet for me to go to one and buy something from there and tell her about it. But she knows I'm there yet. So she hasn't pushed me to do it.

I shopped in brick and mortar stores during the pre-internet days. The selection was much less, but of course the selection in general was much much less back then. I wouldn't mind going into a store now, but I don't know of any around here, and it's just way more convenient to look online.

I prefer online because I can take more time to browse without feeling awkward.

easier online....and not to many adult store around, one bad thing is you never know what you are going to get online and in store you can see it in person before you buy.
03/12/2012
Unfortuanately there is not really anywhere locally to shop for such things so online is pretty much our only options.
03/12/2012
Although I've never shopped at a physical store, I know that I much prefer shopping online (on EF). In a store, you can't read people's reviews or see what the product's been rated, so you're essentially going into things blind. I like to research a product before I decide to buy it, so I know what I'm getting into.

Online they are cheaper, but I like going to the store so that I can see and feel toys before I buy them. And some stores will put batteries in the toy and let you feel the vibrations on your hand. This way I know what I'm buying exactly

Mainly online because it fits my schedule better

i enjoy online stores. i don't have to worry about who is seeing me or anything. but my husband really likes the idea of trying to go to an adult store in north carolina. about 3 hours away from our house. oh my...
but he says it would be nice to see what things really look like and experiance just going.

The nearest sex shop here is about 30 miles outside of town, as far as I know. Creepy too.

A combination of both. Easier to buy things online, but can't get a physical look at the item. Nice to be able to look at the item in store and then just come back and buy it online.

ONLY online and ONLY Eden! I can't get the sales at a normal store, and the ones around here almost seem dirty to me. I like how clean Eden feels!
