My friend gave me a vibrator a few years back as a post-relationship gift, and I got much use out of it, both solo and with partners. It finally broke last week…I guess it’s time for a new one now…
On an added note, NEVER let your kids find your sex toys, at least if they’re old enough to know what they are and how they’re used. I’ve never been as disturbed as when I found my mom’s vibrator…sadly enough, all I could think of afterwards was how it looked like it would do wonders for the clit…
I augmented my supply a couple of weeks ago (just as well since my BF and I split up shortly after).
One is a g-spot vibrator. I didn’t find it and read a report yesterday claiming the g-spot is a myth, so £16 down the drain.
The other is a vaguely phallic shaped totem pole with a beaver (the animal) sitting on it. I try to avoid phallic ones if I can.
My fave shop is Sh!, a women only shop in London (guys can go if accompanied by a woman), which offers a great range of stuff, lots of advice, and on my last visit they made us a cup of tea while I contemplated what to buy. Next time I get a replacement, I’m going for the elegant little leopard print number, which wouldn’t look out of place on the mantleplace.
Thanks manhattan, now I’ve got people giving me strange looks for laughing out loud in work.
Two society matrons decide to live dangerously and visit an adult toy store. They go in and are looking around - lots of lingerie, a few leather goods. some porn. They then catch a glimpse of the vibrators.
First lady walks up to the counter and asks the sales clerk, “Excuse me, but what exactly are those?” “Those? Those are vibrators,” responds the clerk. “Well, what do you use them for?” asks the lady. “You use them to, ah, stimulate yourself or others.” “Oh,” says the lady.
The two ladies have a little conference and the first one says, “Young man, I’ll take that one…Yes, the big, black one.” “And I’ll, take that one, right over there,” says the second lady. “Excuse me, ma’am, but that isn’t a…” interupts the clerk. “Now, now, young man. I know what I want, and I want that great big one.” “OK, if you insist,” answers the clerk.
The store owner comes back from lunch and ask how business has been. “Not bad,” says the clerk. “I sold one old lady a Black Mamba and another old lady bought my Thermos.”
Thank you,ladies and gentlemen, you’ve been great. I’ll be here all week. Please, tip your waitresses.
Especially if it’s one of those missle/bullet shaped toys and you have a son obsessed with missles and rockets :eek:
I ordered some toys online, but it is kind of hard when you live with your parents. Getting up really early every day, hoping ohgod dont let mum and dad get it and wonder what it is eeek etc. Pretty silly, really as I’m y’know a grownup and everything…
I had to go to the post office in person because I missed the delivery and niether of my parents wondered what it was-thank god!
I have a garish orange dildo and a vibrator which has no batteries. It was supposed to have batteries with it but it came with no batteries 
so anyway I keep meaning to buy the batteries but I always forget.
So anyway, that’s it for me and sex toys. I have to say I don’t think they are as great as all that. They are alright I suppose. I think that maybe they really are more creatures of male fantasy than female fufillment, I don’t know…
Anyway the cipramil tablets I’m on now has killed all my sexual feelings stone dead…just when I finally got a boyfriend for the first time in my life!.
What fabulous timing. Hmmmm.
I love those handheld shower things more than I love Christmas packages with hot fudge and whipped cream on top. More than a gold brick dipped in 12-year old scotch. More than Antonio Banderas spread thinly on a savory cracker. Mmmmm, shower massagers.
We have a drawerful of toys in the nightstand - some are great, some are lame. My favorite one just broke, so I’ve got some shopping to do. Soon. Very soon.
Once my girlfriend got,er…lonely…when I was out of town, so she made use of-ahem-a carrot.
Peeled and warmed up in the microwave.
Needless to say, I asked for a demonstration.
Darn Geobabe, I thought you were talking about aScorpion for a second there, in which case I would have asked for a demonstration. Mine just doesn’t seem to do much for me…[sub]Anyone wanna buy a slightly used toy?[/sub]
Hmm. Well, they do look somewhat similar. I’ll let you know how mine works out after I get it.
Geo, the Scorpio is just the tail of the Scorpion. The Scorpion also has the body attached, with a vibrating egg inside it, with leg straps. You put it on like panties, the body sits comfortably in front while the tail… well, you know… I found it to be highly overrated after using it once. If you enjoy the Scorpio, I may be able to send you the Scorpion. I used to work in a porn shop for a friend and in lieu of pay, I just accepted being able to buy toys and lingerie for cost. (There is, on average, a 300% markup on all of it). Since I would have spent my pay on the toys and clothing, I made out big time:)

Shall we have a “Sex toy white elephant swap” thread? On second thought, that might be just too weird…
Having seen various pictures of many of the ladies here on the boards, I just wanted to volunteer to be one of the toys getting swapped. I don’t need batteries and I can also rub backs. 
Ahhh Toys, I LOVE toys, sometimes alone but usually more with my hubby. I tend to think of them as more foreplay than replacement play. And my hubby is much more skilled with a few of them than I am.
I purchased my first vibrator when I was 18. A friend and I went to a local novelty shop in the mall and it took about 3 trips in before we each grabbed one and refused to make eye contact with the clerk as she rang up the purchases.
It took me about 10 seconds of using it to decide that the pleasure of using it was definitely worth the embarassment of going in and buying the damn thing. Now I couldn’t be more blaise about it. I check em all out and ask questions too.
I had never counted em before but I have about 10 in current rotation, not counting the various sleeves and such. I’m really a big fan of the “cyberskin” line. Wow!!
Don’t forget the lube. Even if you are a juicy kind of gal, I find the purchased kind to be superior. Wet is good. We don’t want any undueirritation there do we?
And for goodness sakes don’t forget the soap and water. It is not an uncommon sight at my home for my hubby to find all the washable toys soaking in the bathroom sink and the non-imersable ones lined up drying on a towel. Then I put them all back in their own bags or velvet lined boxes to await my next bidding. My goodie drawer is very well organized.
To hell with batteries, just do what I do and get a generator. 
I feel compelled to mention that I am enjoying this thread immensely.
And to keep things on topic, I can attest for Qadgop that lady bug definitely falls into the category of women who never owned a vibrator until her man bought her one. It definitely helped improve her sex drive, and now she’s hooked. (Of course it could also partly be the whole “female sexual prime” thing, cuz she just turned 34.)
In fact, I just bought her a bigger one, one that uses two ‘C’ cells (instead of the ‘AA’ cells in her old one). She’s probably at home quivering right now.
[sub]Damn, now that’s a mental image I didn’t need. I have to walk into a meeting in 10 minutes.[/sub]
The Sybian. Wish I verify the URL, but if I tried to go there at work, they’d shoot me(well, not really, but the firewall would block it and I wouldn’t get the URL). Try http://www.sybian.com
Anyway, for anyone who doesn’t know what this is, it’s a “saddle vibrator” which sits on the floor and you straddle it. It plugs in and has a 1/12 HP motor(IIRC) with different “attachments” possible. It’s been highly popular with various swingers groups(some of whom we have periphreal contact with). Several women have reported that it is a massively different experience and causes multiple orgasms in a woman who previously did not experience them. Of course they cost a lot of money($1500 USD :eek: ), so they’re not for everyone, but they sure look intriguing on the website.

Well, my long-awaited package from “Open Enterprises” just arrived. See y’all later.
