I understand that most purchases are the "eye-catchers". I was wondering if that is all that motivates you to get a particular product.

Mostly I buy by looks, I have a good idea what will work for me or the wife. I have bought on a whim now and then.
03/15/2011
Contributor: Joie de Cherresse Joie de Cherresse
I go for looks, but I also read the reviews on a product so I can see what others had to say that actually bought the product before I did. I like knowing what I'm getting myself into, lol.

The products I usually tend to get start out at a whim, progress to reading reviews and end at product looks and details. I find cost isn't really much of a factor. My favorite product is still under $10.00 in cost.

Usually I am drawn by looks and unique factor, then I will research and find what others have to say. Here on Eden there are a few reviewers who I feel pretty matched up with in terms of likes and dislikes and may opt to try something or avoid something based on their reviews.

I first have to like how it looks or it will turn me off, but then I always read several reviews and hope there is a video. I looks at the star rating overall as well.

Looks are important to me (because I don't like realistic looking toys), but it is also important to me to make sure that a toy has got good reviews, or at least, the things that it got "poor" marks for are things that I would like. For example, maybe a reviewer marked it down because it had a lot of texture, and they don't like texture. I do like texture though. I really read the reviews to be sure that the cons are not plusses to me, and then I go for it.

I always have to compare and read tons of reviews!!

When the look of a toy is really attractive to me, I make it sit on my wish list for awhile. If it is still a real draw for me later, I can better judge that I wont get bored quickly with it. Plus, anticipation can be a real turn on.

I buy by reviews and by looks. The look is what grabs me first, then I'l red the reviews.

Contributor: eggiweg eggiweg
I guess the looks are what first get my attention, but I always read all of the reviews and follow up on suggestions from there. EF is great for that

I'm kind of a mix of everything. Some things I've bought on a whim purely because of the way they look, some things I pour over reviews until I can finally make up my mind, others have been suggested to me by friends so I take a look and sometimes buy.

I always read the reviews, and certain reviewers especially. Then I compare each toy with what I already have that does and doesn't work for me to see if I think it will fit me.

If I bought on looks I would have never purchased any nJoy stuff. It looked cold and hard to me. It wasn't until I read review after review about how fabulous steel is that convinced me to buy. Now we own all of them except the Eleven.

I don't buy anything online without reading reviews first. I've been doing that loooong before I ever found EF.

I think the opinions of reviewers I know/follow closely make the most impact on what I buy. I know which ones seem to have my same tastes and preferences, and their opinion therefore means that much more to me. It usually comes out true that if they don't like it, I didn't either for close to the same reasons. It also means that when they recommend something new or what I wouldn't have considered before, I listen up closely.

I preffer to look up reviews on other sites, too and compare them with reviews on eden, and if they're generally for the direction I'd like, Ill buy the product!

Contributor: Alys Alys
I always look at reviews before buying. But looks are important too. I'm more likely to buy it if I like the looks of it.
03/15/2011
Contributor: firekitten firekitten
First are looks, obviously. Second, I always look at the reviews. If something has a lot of very very positive reviews by reviewers I'm not familiar with or are "hit and run" type I'm a little more wary, particularly if it's a purchase made with actual money and not gift cards.

I usually research the hell out of products (not just sex toys) before I purchase. In regards to sex toys here on EF... I read plenty of reviews and comments, watch videos if there are any, check the materials it's made out of and then of course try to compare and look for the best "bang for the buck" choices between those items that are similar. Ideally I'd like to buy the items that have the best combination of high quality and low prices. It also helps if there are many opinions and reviews on a product, that way you can be a little more certain that the product will likely perform well rather than it being a very "love it or hate it" kind of toy.

I use a mix of things: manufacturer looks but I do research the reviews on most things. If I don't it is usually because the item is new and doesn't have reviews yet.

Contributor: danellejohns danellejohns
I have to say it is a mixture of things,as well. It really depends on what the product is. Some I have bought on a whim and still read some reviews. Some I bought for looks and reviews.

I usually like a toy from its looks, but for me to even think about buying it I have to read reviews. There are some deal breakers when I think about buying a toy.
Material, quality, and noise level since I live with others.

I used to always buy toys by the looks of them, but after a few disappointments I always research and read several reviews before deciding.

I buy by the reviews (from mixed sources, blogs, EF, the site I buy from at the time, anything I can find really), the quality (materials, safety, etc etc), but most importantly the price, being a person with about 100 bucks or so each month for stuff I want I'm on a fairly tight budget when I buy toys, I save every penny I can, if I can get stuff cheaper somewhere else I'll sacrifice shipping speed along with a few other things to get my paws on it ^^

I go by a few things. Sometimes it is just cause it is pretty,if it is something that vibrates, I will wait for a few good reviews to come out.
