I buy some of my toys at local, woman-owned sex shops, even though they can be more expensive. Eden, however, is the cheapest, and has an excellent website (the search function is especially helpful). Plus I get free toys as a reviewer. So it's a toss-up.
There are so many great aspects to EF that make it stand apart from pretty much anything else on the web. The community is probably the best part, but the layout and user friendliness of the site is what originally drew me in.
I have purchased quite a bit from local stores and several other websites; however, since I became active with Eden I am almost exclusively an Eden shopper. No other site can match what Eden has to offer.
There are a few things that EF is missing, such as larger bodysafe toys and several good enema/anal douche setups, but for the most part they're very good.
I'm a penny pincher so on occasion I shop on other sites just to save a few bucks, but EF defiantly has the best community around Ive never seen another site like it
EF is very generous if you get involved! Other sites don't offer what EF does, nor do they even come close to the quality of the reviews, the honestly of the reviews, and product information.
Hands down, Yes! I have purchased from other sites, prior to my discovery of EF. My b/f still enjoys picking out toys from a Babeland store when he travels to Seattle. Says, he likes to see them first, but never really complained about any of my acquisitions from EF; sight unseen.
Maybe it's just me but what makes EF stand out from the rest is the community it has created/provided.
You can get a bigger selection of products elsewhere (some at a better price), but you won't find the same level of reviews to help you make up your mind, positive or negative feedback regarding a product and/or the addition of things like free shipping and a free gift...not to mention the EdenPoints to help you get your hands on products you'd love to own. For those reasons EF is a fantastic site!!
EdenFantasy.com is like the love of my life hell you get points and free toys what other site does this? and once you become a advanced review more free toys!!! but you have to follow the review rules and actually do a review!
Apart from the points and all the freebies and offers... EF stands above all the rest because it includes things that we want, like 1:1 scale, Video reviews from actual users and written ones too... Over all EF is just a stand out site and I've been to a lot of toys sites in my time. Congrats EF on a wonderful and user friendly site!
