I think they have a good set of basic items but barely scratch the surface of the BDSM world. What do you think?
Does EF carry enough BDSM gear?

What it is they don't carry, that you think they should?

I would love if EF carried more bdsm gear. It would make it a one-stop shop for all my needs. However, I've heard it explained before in terms that really made sense to me...
EF doesn't specialize in bdsm gear, and to invest in the stock they would need to carry would mean a lot more money for them to spend. Right? Okay. Well, if you think about it, the amount of people who are looking for the niche things are going to go to sites that are specifically for bdsm stuff (like JTs). There isn't enough of a market to ensure that the stock they would carry would sell enough to make them a profit and make it worth their while.
Or at least that's how it was explained to me. However, if they ever decided to start carrying more things, I would be ecstatic.

Yeah, I get that explanation, I really do. But couldn't they just expand the line a little? They wouldn't have to become a BDSM shop to just carry a wider variety of things...

EF doesn't need to specialize in BDSM gear to dabble in the fetish market. But I'm sure there are reasons they don't carry more as somebody mentioned before me.
As much as it sucks, I've found myself having to look elsewhere at times at less than stellar sites with shaky reviews to find some of the products Jes and I are looking for. Bummer.

I'd really like to see more vegan stuff. There are a decent amount of restraints but floggers and whatnot are sort of lacking.

They could use more variety, but at the same time, if BDSM toys don't sell well, I understand that EF doesn't sell more.
01/17/2011
I vote 'other' - we don't use it, so we don't care.
01/17/2011
there is a lot of amazing gear out there that they don't carry. i could just rattle things off and where people can actually get the stuff.
01/17/2011
I think EF offers a good variety of products as is, and adds to it as they see fit. I'm sure we would all prefer a one-stop shop rather than having to go to a specialty shop (where, btw, the reviews are SO biased..they wouldn't even publish a less than stellar review that I wrote on Extreme Restraints).. Unless things have changed over there in the past year, I haven't seen a product there with less than raves reviews. That's baloney! At least here, I can expect honesty from active community members.
01/17/2011
I don't use much of it but I would be curious to see what else is out there and what could be fun.
01/17/2011
I always think it's fun to check out a site and see stuff I didn't know existed, and sadly, that doesn't happen here on eden very often. That said, they've got most of the stuff I'm already sure I want.
01/17/2011
Other!
Edenfantasys carries (in my opinion as someone that engages in a lot of BDSM play) a lot of BDSM stuff - more than many other mainstream sex toy/accessory distributors. I think there can always be more (I would die to see some more male chastity stuff on here, especially in more hygienic materials!) but I definitely think EF has a good selection.

it would be nice if they carried different products then what the other sites carry (adam & eve).
01/17/2011
I find that there is plenty of stuff available here, but very little to show beginners how to use it.
01/17/2011
For the type of site that eden is, I think it carries a good amount. Could it have more? Always. Am I satisfied with it? Sure. Eden isn't a "kink" or specific fetish website, so I don't expect more than what we have. Same with other things like lingerie. I think Eden is well balanced in their products.
01/17/2011
I voted undecided because I do think they have quite a bit of bdsm things, but I'd like to see a few more... and then, also, at the same time, I understand why they can't just go and buy a bunch of product that may never sell.

Good question. I don't think there's enough either. However, I like how they just skim the surface of hardcore. Hardcore scares me.

I want EdenFantasys to sell Ring/Open gags.
However, I won't hold my breath. In fact, I think that EF should not expand their sex products any further. The expansion would only cause EF to neglect their strengths, such as dildos and sex advice.

Eden actually has a lot more than most mainstream toy sites.
But...I would definitely like to see Eden carry more BDSM gear.

I was surprised that they even had any at all. When I first found this site I figured they wouldn't have anything along the lines of BDSM and was shocked when I seen they did. Nice selection too by the way but I also would like to have more of a selection. Nothing hardcore, but more choices would be nice.
01/27/2011
EF Doesn't carry as much as I'd like to see but I am ok with going else where for my kink needs. I will always come back here for my more vanilla needs.
01/27/2011
Eden Fantasys is the site I trust... I'm nervous to go anywhere else for my gear!
