When you shop for toys do you find yourself drawn to the types that you KNOW you will enjoy or are you always on the hunt for something new?

Kinda both I guess. I look for something that is new and exciting, but also has enough of a safety net (like a manufacturer name that I trust) that I feel comfortable purchasing it. I also have a hard time justifying owning lots of one specific kind of thing, like why own 13 7" long slimline vibes? lol

I actually use the reviews. If it has good reviews, I'll go for it.

I'm usually looking for something new. If I'm not sure about it, I will use the reviews to get a feel for whether I'll like it or not.

Kind of both? I like to try new things but I will read through the reviews to see if it's good. If I'm fairly sure I'll like it I'll try something that's really new that doesn't have any reviews yet.

My husband REALLY likes to try new stuff. Our entire order that we just placed is all pretty much stuff that's new to us, so itll be a pretty interesting and experimental time when it gets here!

I feel like (with toys not accessories or media products) that unless it is a luxury vibe (such as from Lelo or something) I go off of the reviews.

I like to try new things, as long as the reviews are positive. I was getting a bunch of toys that were all the same and I couldn't help think I was cheating myself on some different orgasms.

I tend to alternate, but when I'm looking for something new I always check the reviews. They're also fun even for toys I know I'll love, just to get me pumped about them.

I'm the same way. I look for stuff that I might like, but that has an interesting twist, or something different. I always read through reviews, whether I know I'm going to like it or not.

Both, although if it's really expensive then we wait until it has a lot of reviews so we can make sure it's what we'll like.

New, I'm kind of a "one of every type" collector and, based on my body and my experience, I'm always revising in my head my idea of the perfect design, so, I think I'm actually always hunting for the design that matches that image.

Same here.

I am usually looking for new things - but since we have at least one of most types of toys, it's more of a refinement process - looking for something with a new twist on a proven design.

I've been trying to extend my collection out to getting one of every kind of toy, but I really have a problem with buying luxury vibes by LELO. They're generally always at that top of my wishlist.

Depends, honestly. I generally know when I will like something or not like something, but I will read reviews to make a final decision, always. I sometimes do not trust reviews and go with my own judgement, however. There are a handful of reviewers, though, whose opinions I trust. Amber loves reading reviews, even more than me actually, so she will see something expensive, read reviews on it, then want it. It makes me nuts, she does this for all products. HAHAHA!

Always looking for something new, something better than what i have or just got, etc.

A little bit of both - something new that has some of my known favorite attributes. If that makes sense
