Does packaging matter in your decision to buy, or not buy, a toy?

Doesn't matter too much to me.

Well in our opinion (and this goes for all products, not just adult toys) the time and effort that companies put into designing eye-pleasing packaging for a product just demonstrates that extra step that they are willing to go to make the purchase of their product all the more satisfying.

So yes, it definitely matters to a certain degree.

Probably not, unless the packaging was really smutty, then I might have second thoughts.

It doesn't matter to me. Everything I buy goes into satin bags and the packages get trashed anyway. A lot of times, I don't even know what the package looks like until it arrives at my house.

It's always nice that some toys come in a cool package.

The way it's packaged means nothing. All I look for is how safe it is and what it is made of and how to clean it.

I couldn't care less what it comes in, I throw out the packaging as soon as I get it.

you really dont know how a toy is packaged until you actually get in the toy unless you see pictures of how the toy comes before you make the purchase

I usually don't base my decision on packaging, but if I'm getting something made of glass then I look for products with carrying pouches. Also, if I can get a similar deal with packaging then I go with the reusable packaging, but if a company wants me to pay 50 dollars more because its rechargeable and has a case, then I will go for the cheaper toy with more/the same features and get my own storage.

I do not want a toy if I see that the graphics are nasty or stupid ie siliconed models or flashy vulgar words. It doesn't matter if the toy can be stored in the package, although I wouldn't mind a sturdy opaque box.
I bought an e-stim set for using on the hubby's bad back, and laughed to the point of tears at the absurd photos where the models were using the electrodes exactly the way the instructions said NOT to use them. I probably still would have purchased it had I known in advance how stupid the box was. That thing is amazing and is really helpful for back problems and tense muscles.

I care in that it is protective, but I won't not buy something I like because a review said it came just in the box without a bag. I always include packaging in my reviews, but do not spend more than a few sentences on it. I include a picture of how it came.

I probably should have chosen "couldn't care less." I appreciate good packaging, but it won't affect whether I purchase something or not. Most brick and mortar stores catering to women display the toys out of the package but keep the (often skeezy) inventory in the back.

I don't care very much about a toy's packaging. I doesn't affect my purchasing decisions much.

I don't care about packaging all that much. The way I see it, if it comes in a great reusable box or something, that's just an extra perk.

Packaging doesn't play much of a factor to me, unless it's horribly tacky, but even then I can just throw it away.
