I have a bottom drawer for toys that are good quality but don't 'do it' for me. I am so very open about my relationships and about EF that when I get someone who says they are interested in toys but don't know what to get I open my toy drawer and give them the URL for EF.

I have another drawer for toys that I liked but just don't use often and these toys I am willing to share or allow Sigel to share with his playmates. Generally these toys can be boiled and are high quality. There's also a large box of condoms available to use with these toys.

Then I have the, if you touch I will Kill you in painful ways drawer. These are my personal toys and they are never shared.

I dont trash them, I just put them away. Sometimes i'll bring them out and give them another try. If i still dont like it after that they just go away and collect dust lol

Not too long ago, I bought a toy at a local shop and when I called to complain that it did not work at all the way that it was supposed to, they actually let me return it for store credit. I was surprised but grateful.

I try to find someone I know or a friend of a friend who might like it more than I did. Then depending on how much it was, I give it away or sell it. No sense in letting it sit unused or trashing it.

They typically stay in the bottom of the storage area for a while, then we will bring them back for a rehab session to see if its any better. If not, then it goes into trash.

I can't stand to get rid of them if they are not broken. Someday they might be loved. Maybe someday I'll change me mind.

I just hold onto them until I've used them at least a few times and I'm 100% sure that I hate it... before I toss it. Sometimes I'll hate a toy but then after trying again it was good! I haven't thrown a toy away in a long time. I just stash em.

I recently gave a bunch to my sister,and the rest are going to the dump. Hopefully I can sneak them into the recycling bin with the fans and vacuums without anyone noticing.

I hate to think about throwing away plastic toys and such and sending them off to go sit in a landfill somewhere. I noticed before I knew much about toys I just kinda bought cheap little things that break fast. Now I try to save up for better quality toys that will last longer.

If I'm really sure I'll never like it, it gets thrown out, unless it's still within the return period.

But I have a bunch of toys still in the drawer I rarely use, but that I'd hate to throw out just in case. If I like it a bit, I'll keep it.

Recycle if possible, trash if not. If I've got one that works semi-well but not great, I'll save it to take on a trip so that there is no sadness if it gets lost.

With the toys that can't be swapped, they find the trash/recycling. Toys that are sterilizable they go to be swapped out for new toys with friends.

The only ones that have gone in the trash were made of bad materials/had degraded and I couldn't use them or sterilize them. The other ones go in the bottom of my toy box, and I occasionally try them again. I don't have that many toys though.

So far, I have owned three toys. I only use one toy - the others, I threw out. I did this specifically because I only one to own one or two toys at a time. I live in a college dormitory, so there isn't a lot of space to hide the toys.

The Sex Toy Graveyard is at the bottom ... more
My hubby and I are talking about the whole dieing and our kids having to deal with the collection. What would we do so they never see it? So far I am leaning towards a trap door in our floor, lol!!!Joking, but holy crap!

So, we have a bad toy box. That sounds funny written out, but anyways, our bad, broken and unworthy toys go in there. When a good toy breaks, we part out the ones from the bad box to fix the good toy. We also put together ideas using the broken toys and have made some great toy inventions!!

I keep them and just retire them to the toybox graveyard aka the bottom of the drawer!

When I was married, my husband had a fetish that involved watching me use toys, so I had a huge collection of really high quality items. When we parted ways, I found I could barely touch the things without feeling really sad, angry, and resentful, so I tossed 'em rather than deal with the additional stress of going through them to pick out the ones I really liked or that would be difficult or expensive to replace.

Now that I've been single for a while and don't have sex nearly as often as I'd like, I regularly grieve for the toy collection -- not for the ex, though!

I would like to donate them to people who want one but dont have the money but a lot of people find that nasty since they are used. So I end up keeping them.

I spend so much time picking toys out and reading reviews that I haven't picked something yet that I honestly hate. I do have a couple of attachments for my wand that I don't use very much, but they have their uses, and when I do use them I can enjoy them.

I can't imagine ever giving my used toys to someone else or accepting used toys! Although since I blew up my Wand maybe there's a way to recycle it? I'll hang onto it until I find out.

if it's a totally sterilizeable toy, i will clean it and pass it along to a friend. i have a "prize box" that i offer up to anyone who would like something new.

If it's something that can be shared, I pass it along. I haven't come across much I haven't liked though.
