I will not consider a toy that needs batteries unless I have rechargeable batteries for it.

I aim for rechargeable toys mostly. But definitely wouldn't buy one that takes non-standard batteries.

I try to buy rechargeables only.

More than likely, yes.

I only buy rechargeable vibrators because I don't want to hassle with batteries at all.

The vibe isn't going to do you any good without the batteries.

Maybe, but I usually go for rechargeable.

Depends on the vibrator--i use the battery outlet and get them pretty cheap.

Mostly I try to stick with vibes that are either rechargeable or use the typical AA or AAA batteries. I'll consider one that uses other types as long as I can find them and they're not expensive.

I do! I prefer AA, but will take AAA's, but I won't get a toy that takes batteries more expensive.

I try to avoid all batteries, but I really interesting toy with AA or AAA might slip into my cart.

I try to stick to rechargeable toys or AAs only.

I prefer toys that are either rechargeable, or work with my rechargeable AA or AAA batteries -- they don't have to necessarily perform their absolute best with the rechargeable batteries, some toys are weaker with them, so long as they will work. I don't have anything that takes C batteries, and watch battery bullets that come with things usually get tossed in the deep recesses of the retired toy bag when the batteries die.

If it takes batteries of any sort I look away.

Yes. If it takes some weird ass type of batteries like C-batteries, I just look the other way.

yes - it's a consumable that increases the total purchase price.
I go for rechargeable where i can.

No C or D batteries for me! Everything else is fair game.

Yeah--watch batteries are annoying...I'm going to receive that free petals vibe in the mail for signing up for the newsletter (which apparently is like masturbating with a loud, vibrating tree branch...I'm not that kinky, but hey--it's free), and that thing takes C-batteries. Annoying, but again, it's free. I have no rechargeable toys, but oh, how I want one! Those just seem to be the most hassle free.

I'll take an interesting toy that uses AAs, AAAs, or even Cs or Ds. I do, however, avoid watch batteries and N size batteries like the plague.

No. But I'm pretty much going for the rechargeable because they tend to be stronger. When I can't find something, I always fall back on eBay.

I like to buy ones that use AA or AAA batteries and buy rechargeable batteries. I want one that's rechargable, but they cost soo much!

I only two toys that use watch batteries, but they don't get much play time.

Yes and I have. I'm not going to pay for one that is hard to find replacement batteries for.

That can be a deciding factor for me. I prefer toys take AA or AAA standard size batteries. I don't look at toys that take N batteries, and definitely don't look at toys that take watch batteries because I know the toy won't be strong enough for me.
