Do you prefer to buy sex toys from online or regular stores and why?

I prefer to buy online because there is a better selection and because there's not many sex shops if any,where I live.

So far I'm 50/50 with store and online purchases, though almost all of my research is done online.

I like buying online because you can read the reviews

I like being able to see things in person, but, it's so much more convenient and affordable to get stuff online.

I perfer shopping for toys on line. Better selection, and I like to browse around without being asked "can I help you?". The one store we have gone to, you can hardly get in the door without them trying to hold your hand the whole time.

Prices and comfort are what draw me to online retail. Add in the great EF community, and I'm sold!

Online stores have a better selection and are almost always cheaper than actual retail stores.

I love Eden. I love the reviews. I love to be able to compare and contrast and make a good choice on an excellent toy!

However, I love that I can go and play with the vibrations at the store. I love that I can see the packaging. And I LOVE to educate the workers and people watch.

So there are benefits in both styles of shopping and I like to experience them both! Usually though, I look at the store, and purchase online.

I prefer to order online,That way I don't have to deal with the guys asking me to go visit the glory holes with them.

I usually buy my toys on Eden. I've picked up a few here and there at local shops, but not as much as I buy online.

If I see an item on Eden I think I'd be interested in, but the price is steep, I'll go find it in a store to see it in person before making my purchase on Eden.

I prefer buying these things online because it's much more discreet, more variety, more discussion and knowledge available when making selections, and the lovely discounts and points and free gifts have won me over.

I prefer buying them in a real store. I live near a high-quality store, not a creepy hole in the wall store. They have samples of all different styles of vibrators and dildos that you can feel and turn on to feel the intensity of the vibrations. I prefer this as I like to know exactly what a toy is like before I buy it. There are no surprises or disappointment this way.

Mainly online, the real stores are way over priced.

I love online because it's cheaper! We don't really have super nice sex toy shops here.

I've never seen any decent quality toys at any of my local sex shops, and even their cheap jelly and rubber toys are $50+. I ALWAYS buy mine online.

Online because of price. Although I do go into shops to see in person how different products compare size-wise.

I prefer online cause it is a better selection. Every sex shop I have been to was very pricey or had low quality products as well as lingerie that wouldn't fit me at all.

I prefer EDEN above anywhere else. I love the great deals, and the friendly environment, quick shipping, freebies, etc. The environment here, from chatting here in the forums, to submitting a support ticket, is much more comfortable than the environment in a store around here that's usually filled with giggling 18/19 year olds. And I can't drag myself back to a couple stores after they pull the toys out. They're putting in batteries to make sure they work, but still.... After watching some grubby person wipe their dorito crumbs on their pants, then reach for any toy I want... It ruins that toy for me.

I like the selection online. I've been to my local store once or twice (they're great, but expensive, and not super local), and only bought something when I had a coupon. I'd probably comparison-shop there if it were closer and keep looking for deals online.
