Is there a need for more variety in toy diameters?

I was wondering if other people had ever wanted to see more toys in slightly smaller or larger toys than the usual 1 1/2"? I don't know about you, but 1 3/4" is the largest I can take easily, and I find that it's quite a step from a diameter of 1 1/2". So ideally, I'd like to see more toys between those two sizes.

Am I alone in wanting a little bit more variety in toy sizes?

(For the sake of this poll, consider 1 1/2 as the average size for toys)

I just want toys---kind of literally. I think 1.5" diameter was about the natural standard when I first started using sex toys...

but as I saw other interesting shapes of new sex toys, I always was like "well, it looks kind of big, but I can make it fit!" and kind of actively made myself stretch up in order to see what, for example, the 2" end of the Eleven felt like, and now even the Hottie Extra.

I was realizing, as I took out my collection to take a picture for the "show your stash" thread, I realized that most of my toys are pretty big.

But I don't need them to be! I still really love my 1" diameter Gold Laced G. I just accept different sizes as a way to try different shapes... and all the fun shapes seem to exist in bigger sizes.

It would be fine if more were smaller, frankly... but I'm flexible, in any case!

I use toys that are 1", 1.25", and every now and again 1.5". I'd love to see some sizes in between those measurements, though it would make it harder for me to measure them accurately for reviews since I can't always figure if something is exactly 1.5" or not.

I also clicked "more toys!" because who doesn't want more toys! Of course, in pretty colors!

I've found (and have) a couple of toys that are in between the 1.25'' and 1.5'' size, but I haven't really seen many toys that are between 1.5'' and 1.75''. However, I'm much more eager to try out toys a little larger than 1.75'' but smaller than 2'', since 1.75'' is currently my max.

Also, if you try softer toys that are 1.5'', you'll find that they're much, much easier to take than harder toys at the same size. That's somewhat of a solution, I guess. It's really worked for me.

I just want fun colored toys! I hate pink and there's so damn many pink ones, what the hell is up with that I ask.

Most sizes seem good for us. Its the colors that need to change, a lot! The first thing I can think of the penis rings section. Most of them are pink or purple, really!?! But all sections need better colors in general

I'm in the same boat as you - 1 3/4" is my limit, but sometimes I want a bit more than 1 1/2", so it would be nice to see a few more toys in that middle range.

Most of my toys are between 1" and 1.25", with a couple being 1.5" in diameter. Those are very soft, though, and my body still takes about a minute to get used to them, or in the case of vibes I use them externally. I often find myself looking at a toy and thinking it's cool, only to feel bummed when I see the diameter's too big for me to handle.

I wouldn't mind seeing some more toys between 1.25" and 1.5", since that seems to be where I'm most comfortable.

This is me, except I'm most comfortable with 1.25".....my biggest toy is the Vixskin Mustang and that's pushing it....even though it's squishy.

So far, the most I can take is 1 5/8, although it requires warm up. I want to get a variety of sizes - really I just want more!

Hehe, yeah, any toy above 1.25" has to be soft. My VixSkin Tex (1.5") is my favorite, but it's one of the ones my body has to adjust to when it's first inserted. If it were a harder material, it just wouldn't work. 1.25" is comfortable, but I find my orgasms are more intense if I go a little above that.

I like all sizes of toys! Though I have just purchased my first anal toys (the Pleasure #1 and The Big End). I was planning on going with The Little End, but I liked the shape of the Pleasure #1 better. I haven't REALLY searched all the other toys, but I would have liked to see a medium sized toy between the Little and Big Ends because I'm going to need to work my way up to The Big End.

There need to be more toys at slightly less than an inch and a half.

I'd like to see more options between 1.25 and 1.5

But I'd also like to see Vixen try a Vixskin cock in the 2.5 range

I don't use my Severin Large often, and I own the A-bomb but have not yet been able to fully insert it. I'd like to use glass/steel/silicone toys to enable me to accept the bomb, but there are few toys in this material and size that would stretch me out enough to make it possible. At this point the only choice would be to use rubber toys to bridge the gap, so to speak, to stretch myself that wide. I'm not willing to do that...yet.

Thin ones don't normally look terribly interesting. I've been lusting over the Compact. Snatching that bad boy up when it's in stock!

I like smaller toys because I'm super tight and big toys are just really painful. But I like smaller to medium sized toys. I wish there were more dual density dildos that were smaller. ..

I require smaller toys. I'd like more variety for those who want it.

Smaller toys I tend to enjoy more and colors are tons of fun. Half the reason I enjoy looking at the glass toys

As for size I can typically find what I want, but color is another problem. Every company wants to make all of their toys the same colors. We need more variety.
