Protection For My Glass Goodies!
Overall this was a good investment over the bags that often come with glass toys which completely lack protection (It was especially worth it at the buyout price of only 6.29!) and I do plan to buy more bags in the future, although I may invest in the crazily padded Pleasure Pouches instead as these do only have so much padding.Published: April 1, 2011
Pros:
- Padded enough to protect breakable toys from short falls
- Pretty to look at and fairly discreet
- Pretty to look at and fairly discreet
Cons:
- Exterior attracts dust/hair/etc
- could come in more sizes, a bit big for smaller toys.
- could come in more sizes, a bit big for smaller toys.
I bought this originally to protect my first glass toy the Icicles #13 (http://www.edenfantasys.com/anal-toys/anal-probes/icicles-no-13) from any damage and to keep nice and cozy when storing it when it isn't in use.
When the one I actually ordered finally arrived I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. It is padded lightly, but still enough that I'd guess a short fall with a glass toy inside it (say from a bed to anything but a concrete/really solid floor) would save it. Although I wouldn't dare do that to my glass beauties and future ones to come.
The exterior feels like felt and does attract hair and such but the interior is soft and feels like silk! The materials used (according to the tag inside the bag) are Faux Suede Material (exterior I'm guessing) which is 100% polyester, Satin Lining (the cover) again is 100% polyester and the interior lining inside is 100% cotton. I have yet to need to wash this bag, though from other reviews I have read the best way is to wash it on delicates in the washer, let it air dry and then if need be toss it in the dryer for a few minutes to soften the material.
This pouch is definitely designed to keep your precious toys safe and somewhat protected from falls. The draw strings close easily and stay surprisingly tight unless really tussled around, if you really are worried about them opening (which I find to be highly unlikely to occur from using them) you can do a quick knot with the 4 drawstring ends.
Each bag is a fair size, 11" long with 9" of usable storage and 5" wide. It was a little big for my Emerald Explorer as well as the Icicles #13 but really if you're using a smaller toy you can just fold the bag over when storing and it keeps it nice and clean.
I feel I can highly recommend picking one of these up versus using one of the cheap un-protective bags that come with many glass toys which really do nothing more than simply keep fingerprints and dust away from your toys, I suppose the price could be a bit cheaper but the interior material's quality probably does affect the overall price, the bag itself is very pretty and discreet (well, unless someone picks it up and feels what's inside) and a wonderful accessory for your silicone, glass, and metal toys.

Follow-up commentary
2 months after original review
I've loved having these pouches to store my growing glass/ceramic/metal collection and now have a total of 5 of them, although they are quite big for individual toys they aren't really padded enough for me to really trust multiple toys in the bags, eventually I probably will still get pleasure pouches. All but one of these I've received from EF free due to all my glass toys not coming with their default storage pouches so yay for free storage!

Just For Fun...How Many Do You Have?
-
I got an order today, and I like to throw in a storage pouch in each order if I'm able to. As I was re-arranging my storage to include the newest addition, I got curious about how many I had. Well, I counted all my pouches and found that I had 12. I thought my pouch situation was getting out of control but then I thought...hm...there's gotta be someone on here that beats me!
So how about it. How many pouches do you have? Winner gets...the title of being the craziest of all of us collectors :P -
Hmm, I think I only have 3 or 4, at least of those specific pouches. I know I have more that came with toys tho :)

ZERO. Been making my own! ;)

Nice review! Thanks for including how some toys fit in. It always seems a mystery how large a toy bags can fit.
Nice review! $6.29 is super cheap!
Oooh. I might have to grab a few of these.
Great review!
Anybody else find it curious that one kitty is editing another kitty's review? :3
