I voted "other". I do not have a specific preference, as toys come in all kinds of designs. To me, the most important thing is how that particular toy performs.

I like flared bases or loops because it makes them great for holding onto. But I don't really care which kind of base a toy has as long as it is a great toy.

I like the flat based dildos and ones with suction cups and small balls, but the ones with large balls can get annoying

Vibrators I dont really care

I do NOT care for realistic so NO balls.

I like toys which can stand up on their own and/or be used in a harness, but the looped ends of things like the Ophoria Beyond 3 look useful too.

Then, I love my double-ended toys like the Smooth S Shape and Ella (and now the Pure Wand!).

Balls are awesome on anything that already stands up on its own. I love how the Gold Laced G has representational balls that fit its appearance.

I don't like "realistic" either. That is what my hubby is for. When we play with toys, I want them to LOOK like toys. Bright colors, smooth textures...TOYS, for "big girls and boys".

Flared ends are important, since we like anal play, and while I have a couple suction cup toys for shower, most don't stick well in my shower and they don't get used much, although I DO love my waterproof toys, in general.

I use dildos for anal, so a flared base is a necessity.

I like the flared bases most. It's always better when I have something to grab on to.

Testicles, loops, and flared bases. I like flared bases for partner play toys, testicles for my prosthetics, and loops for anal plugs.

Flared bases or double-ended toys are best, I think, and the easiest to hold. I'd prefer a toy not to have balls, but they wouldn't be a deal-breaker if the rest of the toy was nice (well... except maybe the Ocean Breeze. That thing just looks diseased to me, hahaha!).

I could do with pretty much anything... Would love to try the loop!

I like the flared, round ends, because they stay put in my Liberator Wing without moving around too much! Loops are fun too, but not for the Liberator.

I use harnesses A LOT so I def want a base that is flared and firm (a bonus is the flared base often makes it safe for anal play as well )

I like flared, for harnesses.

flared, and balls

I look for bases that are wide enough to be nice and stable in a harness. If the material is firm, I'd prefer it to be thin. If the material is soft and flexible, I'm ok with it being thicker because it can have a cushioning effect.

I really like a suction cup. I wish more of my toys had one.

Something to grasp or hold onto is nice. I don't have any with a base, suction cup or with balls yet.

Anything Flared or that I can get a grip on .

I always think that I would like a loop, but I haven't found one to fall in love with yet. Then again I did just get the Fling...

So long as it's easy to hold on to and control.

Flared (harness-compatible) or bawls. So I can use it in a harness, and so my hands don't cramp up. Also those kinds of bases work better with my double sided suction cup.

Flared is my preference, but I also like ones with something to hold onto.
