Do you think you have too many sex toys?

I don't think we have a lot of toys but I guess we have spent quite a lot on toys because we go for silicone ones. In many cases they have only become redundant because we have bought something we like better. The vibrators have all been a bit of a disaster - my wife doesn't like any of them - including the rather expensive We-Vibe which was rejected after about 30 seconds. Otherwise I reckon everything has had a reasonable number of outings (innings?) so not exactly money wasted.

I remember when I was fascinated with the whole idea of sex toys and literally wanted everything. After a while I realised that I liked a certain few things. Unfortunately I have accumulated quite a lot of stuff from my first year of purchases that are still in their wrappers... unused. I guess this is where Adopt a Toy thread comes along. Think I may try Ebaying them off or something though.

So yes, I think I too have a bit too many for my personal tastes. However, now that I know what I like- I do find myself drooling over particular ones. And as for lingerie.. that little (well big) collection will keep on growing. It's my weak spot. Hoping to see more on offer.

Yes to both!

My wife and I have accumulated quite a few sex toys over the years.  We've come a long way since I first ventured into one of those high street stores (not one near home, in case somebody recognised me!) and bought my wife her first vibrator.  It was horrible and ugly by today's standards (despite being in the "luxury" range at the time), but it did the job okay and opened both our minds to the possibilities.

After that, I added regularly to our collection, sometimes in consultation with my wife, but mostly as whimsical surprises for her.  Overall, I reckon that we've had an 80% success rate with the various toys (i.e. only 20% did little for either of us despite seeming like a good idea at the time of ordering) but there are very few that we keep returning to regularly -- our favourites.

I think one of the difficulties with toys for women in particular is that it's very difficult to predict how well they will work in practice.  Even if they look okay in the photos, get positive reviews and include a myriad of clever features, there are still plenty of reasons why they might not suit an individual.  If it looks unappealing, is difficult to hold or control, or just feels "wrong" during use, then it's unlikely to be a lasting success.  For example, my wife has three different rabbit vibes, but she only really likes one of them.  The second one has a single "tooth" rather than conventional rabbit ears, which she finds uncomfortable, and the third one has a control layout which my wife finds unintuitive (it's very annoying for her to hit the wrong button at the crucial moment!).

I suppose we should consider having a clear-out of toys that we don't really use.  I've already had to find a couple of new places to hide them all safely away.  I'm not sure that making space to accommodate more toys would necessarily be a good idea, though -- my imagination might run riot!

I find i have quite a lot but I'm looking for the ultimate vibe that dies the trick Up to now i have found that Tracy cox secretive vibe is the smallest but v good powerful but slips out of my hand

Some may say I do, even at the moment i couldn't name the all. However I have regular clearouts and so I only have about a 10th of what I have brought. I give away what I can, recycle what I cant.

I do think it's about quality not quantity, I now only have designer vibes and ones which are really really great.

 You got it exactly! 

We own a lot of toys, but seem to be speeding up rather than slowing down! The more you try, the more variations you are interested in. At some point we are going to have to get some more storage, and our flat is not the biggest. But I don't really think it is possible to have to many toys as long as you are not buying them in lieu of, say, eating. After all, I can't think of many things I could spend my money on or collect that would bring me more pleasure.

We also operate a kind of death row system where we will ocassionally go through them all, highlight anything that hasn't been used recently, and then reevaluate next time we are do that.

I do have too many, there's no 'think' about it!

I'm running out of secret storage space.

never too many ust not enough time to use them all

I think I only have about 2 at the moment, the other Tenga eggs split & so did my super head honcha. 

I did do, and most never got used so I sent a fair few back to rabbit amnesty as would rather have the Oh points to get a decent luxury toy instead. Since I started with toys, my tastes have definitely changed and would much rather have a great rechargeable than a battery operated one, much, much better all round.

Saying that I still have more than most I reckon, lol

Nah, I don't think it's bad. Besides it's all about to have fun right? and it's just nice to have different kinds to choose from. The biggest problem is just to find some more "secret-hiding-places" for them but then I'll just have to be more creative hehe

I've just had a clear out and got rid of the things we don't use. Probably should have consulted my OH but don't think he'll even notice. Its taken me a while to work out what I like, brilliant though the reviews are.

I don't think you can have too many, one day you'll want to use one you haven't tried for a long time. Its fun to have as much choice as possible.

We have alot of toys, but they are all different some we play with as a couple some we play with alone, I have my one or two favourite toys that I use alot and so does the Oh but we also have a few that we use less often, but they are all fun in their own way. 

Every now and again we have a sort out and get rid of any that are no good or that we don't play with anymore and that makes space for more toys lols

I have to admit I have more than I realistically need. I don't have a massive collection, not including bondage and sensory it must only be about 25 toys. Actually that does sound like a lot. But compared to the amount I actually use them it is a Lot. Most of my toys only see an outing now and again apart from a couple of favorites.

I have become more critical of toys in general thoug. I no longer buy something unless it fills a niche one of my current toys can't, so my collection is more stable now than it ever has been before. I'd like more, if I had the money i'd probably double or triple what I have, but for now i'm reasonbly content.

Not sure how many would be too many but probably more than needed. It is more lingerie that I seem to be looking towards the last while.

Way, way too many. We've now got multiple boxes and seem to operate some kind go league system. We have the 'Premier League' in the posh box by the bedside and relegate the less successful to a plastic tub at the bottom of the wardrobe...

No, not at all.

Only a couple of bullets and cock rings, mainly single use ones too.

 you c'ant have enough
