Are you happy with your sex toy storage?

Contributor: indiglo indiglo
I was for a while, but I'm quickly outgrowing it - which leaves me a little dissatisfied. If only I had gotten another Devine Toy Chest while they were available! I haven't yet decided what I'm going to do now.

Hope you had a happy new year Antipova!

Overall my toy storage setup is functional but definitely not a permanent solution. I use a shoe box right now for my 2 largest toys which run at 12" and almost 9" in length. Also I throw things in there such as; the free gift wipes, some bullets, cock rings, massage oils and candles etc. I generally keep this box under the bed in the guest room so I can slide it out when I need too.

The other toy box is actually one I bought from EF, the croco in red. This one seemed like a nice average size toy box that could fit smaller sized toys. It works great for the most part, I can keep it locked up and fits a couple butt plugs, dildos etc.

I would prefer to be able to have 1 of 2 different types of setups. If anyone is familiar with "The Shoes Under" product that is ASOTV then you will know what I am getting at here. So a nice large flat storage setup like the shoes under would be nice, with divided sections and a clear or solid top on it. A handle to pull it out and push it back under the bed would be nice. Selection of styles and sizes would be great too for different needs. The other thought was something very similar to the shoes under idea, but have adjustable dividers in a much stronger toy storage box. This way you could customize each part of the storage for specific toys and accessories etc.

I guess everyone is different, with different storage needs and uses it's hard for one storage setup to work for everyone. But it's clear that a lot of people have an average or large size collection of toys and accessories in need of much better storage, or more functional. Something like the toibocks is a really nice one, but $100 and it's overall still fairly small storage for a lot of people.

I will keep searching around online or in store though. I'm trying to stay clear of plastic storage totes/containers. Even if they are free of harmful chemicals I just would prefer not to use them. Cost and quality are the main things at least I'm looking for. When I move to a new place, I want to be able to leave all my toys in their storage and just go. Thanks for making this discussion, I know I've gone ahead and written a small book but I'm off for a few days and I need to relax and just get some discussion out.

I have a sectioned plastic box thingy that I put my lubes, condoms, etc. in. I have one (pretty, pink) cardboard box thingy for dildos, another for vibes. I keep anything that comes in a box (Njoy) and also cuffs and blindfolds on a shelf thingy. I hang rope, harnesses, other gear on some back of the door coat racks, and hang floggers and other implements on S-hooks on a rack thingy. I have an ikea plastic bag holder I use to store canes.

In summary: I have many storage thingys, but I fantasize about a custom made hardwood toy cabinet that could be closed so I dont have to hide shit from my landlord.

We had a couple of locking boxes for years - while the kids were growing up - and I hated them. I finally loading everything up into a dresser drawer - and love the convenience.

I replied to this thread last week, and I found it funny that on Friday it was highly suggested that I find a new way of storing the toys because the collection is just getting so big that we have things here and there and there. LOL So I guess I better read up on the whole thread to see what creative ideas are out there.

Mine are in the top drawer of my dresser. Its a wide dresser, but the shelf is very shallow, barely deep enough to fit Tantus' Cush (for ex.).
Sadly I am running out of space in it though, going to need to come up with more storage soon.

I only have a few toys, and keep them in my sock drawer lol. Right now it's not a big deal, but as I get more, I'd love to get a more organized set up!

I used to be happy with it, but I just got in so many toys, I've run out of room. I still need to find something big enough to hold everything but easy to carry from my room to my boyfriend's.

I'm between "it's function" and "I'm dissatisfied with it". My toys live in two canvas bags on my floor by my desk. Within those bags, they're all within their own toys bags/packaging. I wish I had a drawer or something to hide the canvas bags in but they're huge and I have no room whatsoever, and stashing them away well would mean they'd be hard to get at regularly (like, I could put them at the top of the closet to get them off the floor but that is way too inconvenient). It works for now, but I'm really looking forward to one day have a better way to do this. Like, a kickass display cabinet in the master bedroom of my future house. That's my storage fantasy.

My storage fantasy: a walk-in closet FULL of toys and related gear. I get giddy just thinking about it.

Mine are under my mattress. I have 5 new ones coming in the mail, and I am freaking out! I don't think I can get them all under my mattress comfortably, so I am searching frantically for something cheap and inconspicuous, and preferably with a locking mechanism, but if I cannot find anything, I guess an old purse with large zippers and a padlock will have to do. I am living at home, and my mom tends to come into my room a lot, so I NEED something soon!

Our toys are either in the top drawer of the nightstand or in a tote in the closet...

And they're stored individually in a couple toy pouches like these:

...or in one of those travel toiletry bags for men (aka. MURSE - man-purse)

My girlfriend and I don't have a bunch of toys, so the method works for now, but could be better.

Bedside drawers are no place for as many toys as I have.

I have storage for everything but it's nearing nonfunctional and everything is scattered about. I have the toys that came with reusable storage in already overstuffed drawers of clothes (no bedside table) and some I store in my closet. I'll probably be needing some lockable storage for my toys, lubes, and various other products soon since everything looks like a controlled mess.

I use pretty, but kinda boring, boxes that are meant for photos. They don't scream 'sex toys!' so that's what really matters most to me.

I have mine in various pretty boxes on my shelves. It would be discreet, but the lids are almost always off because I'm always digging through them. Heh.

I'm pretty happy with my system, as long as everything stays accessible.

Our storage works for now but if our collection grows anymore we'll have to think of something else for storage. So not unhappy with it but it'll soon be outgrown.

My storage is what it is, just storage, but I do wish I had a more elegant solution or something nicer than just boxes.

Right now I either live in a (thankfully single) dorm or at home with my parents and brothers, so I use a couple of old purses. They are decently discreet. I have a large tote-sized one with various toys in either their original packages or in smaller make-up bags for general storage, and a compact, decent sized purse with the toys that I use most often, along with some batteries, lube, and toy cleaner in different pockets/sections. This system works pretty well for me, but I'd eventually like to get something that is easier to keep organized, especially as my collection is growing.

I just have my stuff in their packages in a 3-tier clear set of drawers. I need something MUCH better.
