The Best Sex Toys
I’ve reviewed a lot of sex toys, and owned some privately before reviewing. There is one thing I have learned, above all else, as the cardinal rule to a great sex toy:
Research, research, research.
Price? No. I’ve seen really pricey vibes that just don’t cut it (like the Lelo Insignia line or Zini brand)
Brand? Sometimes – I’ll stay away from guys like Doc Johnson, California Exotics, Topco, Pipedream and so on for the most part. Occasionally there are exceptions; like Doc Johnson makes a bullet I like – the Black Magic.
Just reading the buyer reviews on the sites (if they have that) isn’t enough. I firmly believe that some sites forge those glowing reviews. Go with a site that lists reviews from both buyers and “pro” reviewers, such as EdenFantasys. Better yet, search for your toy in question at Pleasurists and Sex Toy Society and read a bloggers review. Make sure you read more than one review because we all like different things, and, something I hate, somebody else could love! A word of caution though: Some blogger reviewers will never publish a negative review and some seem to be a little too heavy-handed with finding a silver lining on even the worst toys while managing to absolutely adore every sex toy.
