Runner Up Toys - but which to choose?!

Contributor: toxie m toxie m 02/17/2011

So, I had my heart absolutely set on a pink Bimini Ocean. And it's out of stock. And the Valentines coupon is going to expire. The blue is just not doing it for me for some reason, I really had my heart set on pink. Clearly I need to suck it up and choose something else - but what?!

I know this is a really varied mix of toys but I really can't decide. Bah!

I know this is hard to compare because everything is so different (and not all of them are even vibrators! Oh sigh) butttt I'm finding this an impossible choice so any input would be lovely Any other suggestions that'll clear this right up? (I'm not into the Bimini Flash, sadly)

I don't have any of the attachments, but the Hitachi will have you thinking, "Bimini who?"

I feel your pain. Get the wand, it's cheaper, and it's an incredible toy.

I know how you feel about colors. I've been waiting for the Tiger dildo by Fun Factory in red for a while now. And I've waited for the Bimini Ocean in blue when there was only pink.

If you really want the Bimini, I say go with the blue. Still looks very nice.

Agreed. It's not like you're really looking at the color while you're using it. But then, I'm not picky when it comes to sex toy colors.

I voted for the Hitachi because it one of those classic toys that gets rave reviews, although I'm more of a Whal man.

I agree. I have it in blue and to be honest, I could care less about color now that I have used it

The Hitachi with a silicone attachment makes a great combo.
I'd recommend the Gee Whiz or Gee Whizzard.

I'd agree to just get the blue as well if that's the product you like.

If you REALLY have your heart set on pink and want to wait for it and you want to get something else now... out of all the others toys in your list it's actually hard to decide because they are all so different and varied.

Lonestar - Large realistic styled dildo
Alumina Flow - smallish aluminum double ended dildo
Hitachi Magic Wand - Classic Power Queen's power tool
Tentacle jr - largish glow in the dark "octopus leg" dildo
Harmonia - medium sized waterproof g spot vibe (available in Rose as well)
B-bomb - Smallish vibrating butt plug
Ophoria Beyond #3 - medium sized curvy g spotting dildo
Bimini ocean - Your original choice is a smallish mini rabbit.

Out of that list I need an 8 sided dice to randomly choose because they are all so different.

I'm having a tough time recommending one but if I HAD to choose one I'd probably choose the Harmonia in Rose because it gets great reviews and it's midsized and is a vibe as well which is a nice extra feature as you can always turn off the vibrations and just use it like a dildo for g-spotting if you wanted to. The bonus is that it's also waterproof which is never a bad thing. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the input, everyone! It's definitely a matter of choosing between the Hitachi and the blue Bimini. HMM. Can't help but think my life isn't toooo bad if this is the kind of hard choice I need to make

I have the Alumina Flow, Hitachi, Tentacle Jr., Harmonia, and Ophoria Beyond #3, so I can compare at least those items.

Interestingly enough, the Alumina Flow is not "smallish" at all. Out of the insertable toys I listed above, the Flow is definitely the most filling. It is 1.5 inches in diameter and made of completely non-yielding metal, so it feels larger than my VixSkin Johnny (even though the Johnny is considerably larger in diameter). The Flow is one of the most pleasantly filling toys that I own.

The Tentacle Jr. is not large at all. It has a very narrow tip that very gently tapers to a larger diameter. Given the gently broadening base and the extremely soft and plushy material, I would call this toy medium-sized.

I love all the toys listed above, so I think this is a very nice selection of toys to eventually own.

I got the Hitachi and the Pleasure Dome, but the Dome was damaged so I returned it. I did eventually wait it out and get the FF Bimini Ocean in pink when it came back in stock, and I've also bought both the B-Bomb and Lone Star since this poll. I'll have them all eventually! Out of everything I've got so far I think the Lone Star is my favourite, and the B-Bomb is definitely high on the list of best plugs I have. It's turned out that clitoral vibration doesn't really do it for me so while I do like the Ocean I use it as a internal vibrator rather than a dual, and the Hitachi rarely gets any action (weird, right?). I think I'll eventually get one of the internal wand attachments and that'll probably be a more useful choice.

tentacle Jr. looks like fun to play with, plus it's really pretty and well made (beautifully crafted silicone).
The Harmonia it another I think you would be pleased with. fun color couple different uses, great packaging, and lots of fun patterns.

Are any of these just going to be all kinds of a disappointment in this case? Not to hate on awesome toys (I'm sure I'll eventually own them all) but would you eliminate any of them from the discussion altogether here? Do you have any additions that'll blow them all out of the water?

You have other g spot toys on the list and the b-bomb just seems a little out of line with the other items you were interested in. I am actually looking at both of those items for myself but it's like that old Sesame Street game...One of these things is not like the other.

Haha, it's true. Those are just a couple of relatively lower priced toys loitering near the top of my list that I figured I could throw together for the same price of one of the others, but I think you're probably right.

Hitachi.

It is not that great. You have some quality luxury toys on there and I'd go with those. But then again, I'm not a huge fan of the hitachi (Wahl ftw)...
