Without the reviews on EF, I would have a lot of crappy toys that were aesthetically pleasing and useless : ( Thanks EF

Thankful for reviews on Eden! I got lucky on my second toy purchase ever, I bought a Wahl and a high quality (for then) Fun Factory vibrator. I read reviews all over the place (probably on Eden for the Wahl, but I didn't realize what a great site it was) but my pet peeve (we're peevish lately, aren't we?) is seeing a 4 or 5 vrooms on a toy with one AAA battery, or a cheapie $10.00 toy, that others have rated a 2 vrooms or something with watch batteries. IMO, 4 vrooms is a strong toy, 5 is reserved for Hitachi and Wahl land.

I know we are all different, and some people haven't had a lot of experience. But, even when I was first starting out with toys, I knew there was a fundamental difference between things like the Hitachi (a 5 Vrooms) and a plastic venus butterfly with watch batteries that cost very little.

I have learned to take the VROOMS from people who I trust and whose body responds like mine does.

The great thing about EF reviews is that you often get a bunch of perspectives. What is powerful for one person may not be for another. With a variety or reviews you get a better picture of what the toy is like, and can make a more informed choice. Plus when you find a reviewer that has similar tastes to your own, it is a great way to find recs for toys.

Even with EF, I still get toys that aren't powerful enough or have the wrong type of vibration. Every one is so different, so I generally look for a vibe with a 4 "vroom" or better, but even then it's hit or miss.

Hasn't happened because I've always relied on reviews before getting something.

Thank goodness for reviews!!! The reviews are the first thing I look at when thinking about buying something.

I look for reviews but since I'm on a different continent there are tons of popular products that I can't find reviews for (and vice versa - lots of reviews for a product I would buy if only I could find it here). LoveHoney.co.uk helps but not always.

This year I bid in an auction - a guy was selling 4 Japanese wand-style vibrators. He wrote "powerful" and added that they have 12 functions so I expected something like Mystic Wand (but lower quality). I gave $10 with shipping and was fourth - so that's what we paid. When I got it I loaded it up (4xAA) and nearly vibrated my clit off. There are 12 patterns but there is only one speed. I rarely dare to use it without a washcloth (folded!) or sweatpants and undies to protect my "delicate flower". And I consider FF Delight moderate. You get the picture.

I agree! I love EF The reviews are from real people! (: and you actually know what your getting before you buy..

Advertising is always misleading.

The reviews here are great.

Yes, I always wonder when I see a product that uses 2 watch batteries rated at 4 vrooms. Ummmm... NO.

Had a sales lady in a sex store say it was "Great for beginners" which meant it was way underpowered.

Hasn't happened to me, yet. I usually read user reviews before I decide on purchasing.

Oh man, I love the reviews on this site. Thankfully I found one that worked well for me, but I knew it was a bit intense thanks to the good reviews.

Before EF I used to get my toys from a store, and at the store I could feel the power of a toy before I bought it, so i never really had to worry about it.

sometimes i think EF can be misleading because 4 vrooms is such a wide range on this sit and i have some that are perfect and some that are weak but thanks to EF reviews i have discovered that i prefer deep rumbly vibrations and to stay away from buzzy vibrations

I used to look at advertisment before EF, now I rather take my time and look at the reviews to make sure I choose a product worth my money, time, and energy!

Even with EF, it's hard to judge one person's strong versus another's very strong.

This is pretty much bound to happen, IMO--no one wants to market their product as "weak," after all. The reviews on EF are, in my experience, a much better indication of the toy's actual power, since they're written by actual consumers rather than advertisers.

Did happen, except it was due to a misfunction from the toy's battery holder, though I don't really understand. Later I was just mistaken as to my tastes, but I think I actually made great choices

I was very happy to find EF! I don't know where I'd be without all the customer reviews. It is embarrassing for me to go into a sex shop and ask for suggestions. The anonymity online is nice.

I need lots and lots of power from my vibes, and only about 3 or 4 have ever met my quota, two of the being a Hitachi and another Hitachi-like wand. My storage containers are full of vibes that I like, but mostly keep around for other people to use because they aren't powerful enough. My best friend says she loves visiting my place because I'm always giving away vibes I bought but didn't like, so she ends up with my rejects, haha.
