My Top-Picks Toi Box
The Toibocks is an excellent gift for yourself or any female. I imagine it is unisex enough as well! It can hide anything you want, not just sex toys. Since the bottom compartment can be locked away from grubby hands you can keep you unmentionables safe!Published: November 14, 2010
Pros:
Gorgeous, deep cherry color, locks!, decent amount of small, multi use
Cons:
The whole thing does not lock, a bit short on the inside, not real wood
I have hundreds of toys and to save space, I keep them in two huge antique traveling luggage trunks. While this does keep them in all the same area, the boxes are all stacked on top of each other to get the most of that space. If I want a specific toy, I often end up taking a few minutes to find it, a few minutes to dig it out, and then a bunch of minutes putting the rest of the boxes back in. The Original Toibocks was on my wish list for some time because I wanted a nice box that could be displayed and would keep enough of my favorite picks in it for quick access.
DESIGN/DIMENSIONS:
The ToiBocks has a very missionary time period design to it with its smooth straight lines, small amount of decorative contours, and its one simple bottom arch. It is made of a gorgeous deep cherry colored medium-density fibreboard. This is necessary due to humidity or lack their of. It prevents the tray from sticking or becoming too loose. It looks like a valet vanity or jewelry box. The design makes it able to be used for anything you want really. It can store and lock up toys, important documents, jewels, money, electronics, keys, etc. The feet of the box could scratch wood surfaces, but it comes with felt circles to put on the bottom to prevent that.
On the outside the dimensions are 11 1/8" across x 6 1/8" tall x 7 1/8" back. The top flips open attached by hinges. The inside is lined with a very fine and non piling ruby velvet. It does seem to be easy to scratch and the quality of the felt seems low. On the inside there is a partitioned inner shelf that comes out revealing an under compartment that is 11" x 6" of space and 2.5" tall. I wish it was just a bit taller because it seems that I can fit one row of toys in there and barely a second row on top of that. If I do, the drawer needs to be forced down. This was one of the only cons I found with the Toibocks.
LOCKING FEATURE:
Did I mention your unmentionables will can be locked up too? They can be! The top of the box has hinges that flip the top open. The tray is what locks into place preventing grubby hands from getting to the items underneath the tray. There is a locking lever inside that can only be released by a magnetic key on the outside but there is no visible lock! The magnetic key is a round disk with a the ToiBocks logo on it. If someone found it they really would not know what it was to or even that it is a key. The included instructions actually did more harm than good. It took me 30 minutes to open the box myself. I gave it to my partner, explained the device and he got it on the first try not following the instructions. Once you find where to open it, it will catch the magnetic lock and allow access to the under compartment.
PACKAGING:
The Toibocks come in a simple cardboard box with a picture of the contents on the outside. The box is protected on the inside by a air bubble sleeve sheet and some Styrofoam. All of this can be thrown away. There are also instructions to open the box, info, and warranty information.

Experience
The box is gorgeous. I wish the wood had less of a polished finish though. I like things to look more rustic and vintage. The wood lacks the feel of the grain. It still is pretty though and I get a lot of compliments on it. It would be better if the entire thing locked as well. Because it doesn't, the top shelf currently has my external hard drive, a LELO charger , and small toys that are not embarrassing to me. Since I wanted to get the most out of the small space, I chose to store some of my favorite go to silicone toys that can touch each other when stored. Like I mentioned earlier I was a little frustrated with the height of the inner storage and wish it was just a tad taller to fit a second row of toys. But I do love not having to dig through my two giant antique trucks to get to some favorite toys now! I hope they make different types of these in the future.
As you can see...I kind of placed them in there like a jig-saw puzzle and the toys I chose to go on top were smaller than the ones I wanted to put there. I love it just the same and wish I had purchased it sooner!
NOTE TO THE MAKER: I saw your blog...I am one customer that WOULD pay more for this to be made in the USA. It is great!

I absolutely love my ToiBocks. I have at least half a dozen toys neatly packed away in there and have found that it is capable of holding everything I need for a "regular" masturbation session or sexcapade. It is easy to clean and dust off and looks gorgeous in my bedroom. I am so proud to own it!

What Kind of Wood Is The ToiBocks Made of?
-
I'm wondering if the type of wood is what makes it valuable. Does anyone know what kind of wood it's made of?

Quote: I'm wondering if the type of wood is what makes it valuable. Does anyone know what kind of wood it's made of?Hello Phoenix713, it is actually the function of the ToiBocks that makes it valuable.
ToiBocks is the only discreet storage designed specifically for novelties, that you can keep on the nightstand, dresser, or desk and it will not look out of place.
Due to variations in humidity and temperature throughout the world, and the small lock mechanism, ToiBocks is manufactured using MDF. We tried many different kinds of actual wood to create ToiBocks (over 3 years of R/D) and found the humidity/temperature of real wood made it constrict/contract and interfered with the effectiveness of the lock mechanism.
The design and function of the box are what increased the manufacturing costs, leading to the higher price.
All my best,

ToiBocks

What do you guys think of this new company? I think while they are expense, it is an awesome idea. According to a video I watched, the owner said they have 9 products coming out by the end of the year! I am very interested to see what all of them are as only two (the original ToiBocks, and the ToiTissue). I think the pieces are gorgeous and seem like an awesome idea for people with lots of guest or children.
The ToiBocks locks via magnetic key, so even if someone suspected it had a compartment in the bottom, they wouldn't be able to get into it unless they had one and knew they worked (and had a key). While it wouldn't hide very many toys, it would be great for keeping a few favorites easily accessed. I've been looking at more storage options lately, and it's been hard trying to decide what I want to get! At least now I know, even if they are out of my price range at the moment. I definitely want the ToiTissue for condoms, and I want the ToiBocks for my favorites on my dresser. I am really hoping they make something a little larger too, though I feel faint when I think how expensive larger pieces would be. No doubt these are high end and absolutely gorgeous.

They're nice- but completely not my style. I don't care for any wood finishes with my furniture. They'd be totally out of place. Like Backseat- I need large storage. Any really small toys I have that would fit in those I just keep in my nightstand.
They're just awfully expensive, neat, but pricey.

Thank you for viewing The original toibocks – sex toy storage review page!
I explain why it isn't real wood, actually. It has to do with warping.
Also due to pricing.
ah, i'm so sorry. honestly i just skimmed the review (obviously!) shoulda known.. 'its a lauren review.. duh. she thinks of EVERYTHING.'
Thanks for the review
No worries! We all do it!

awesome review!! I really like this box and thinking of getting one or one simular!! ty
Welcome!
Great review! Thanks so much ~LaUr3n~ !!
I really wish I could find a factory in the States... I got excited when I heard Obama talking about trying to bring manufacturing back to the US of A... we'll see what the future brings!
You said: It would be better if the entire thing locked as well.
Having the top open actually adds to the ignorability of this product (yes, I like to make up words lol)... people scan your room and see "jewelry box" not "dildo box" if they happen to peek in the lid, yup, jewelry
I do understand your "want" however and hopefully down the road I'll be able to produce some new designs that fill that want for you.
Thanks again ~LaUr3n~
More comments from you? SWEET! I totally understand that side. And you are right, for me, I don't care. I still use my ToiBocks
"I got excited when I heard Obama talking about trying to bring manufacturing back to the US of A". Obama was talking about Solyndra in that comment.
Good review...
Great review!
Thanks
