It's come to my attention that I'm something of a spoiled snob with a toybox full of Lelo and JimmyJane and pure silicone, so in the interest of broadening my experiences before writing a blog post I have in mind, I am thinking that I need a selection of affordable toys to review.

So, what are the under $40 toys folks would recommend as the sorts of toys that everyone should experience in order to become fully versed in the realm of toys?

The handful of less expensive toys I have used include a Doc Johnson gift set (a pocket rocket, slimline velvet cote vibe, and a bullet); a Nasstoys Pretty Pleaser (a jelly rabbit with rotating beads); the California Exotics Triple Luxe; and the less expensive items I have reviewed on EF, like the Lucid Dream, the California Exotics Clit Pump, and the Rabbit Dancer.

This is not about the toys I would like -- this is about the toys that "everyone" has allegedly experienced. My plan is to pick a few in order to better educate myself, evaluate my biases, and thus de-snobify my writing. However, if there are certain toys that are simply so amazing you think they'll overwhelm my ability to be snobby about jelly, by all means bring them on!

I have heard absolutely amazing things from respected, experienced reviewers about this:

Well, if you're not looking for something that you'd think you'd like I think trying out cheaper toys is just going to intensify the "snobbiness" that you think you have. There are however a lot of awesome toys out there under $40.00, but I would just say to look for something that you like in that price range, not what everyone else would like. Otherwise I don't see how the experiment would work.

You can also get good quality toys under $40.00, you don't have to choose jelly. You can try some glass pieces, there is the Bent Graduate which a lot of people love for G-spotting. There's also the hard plastic evolved vibes which I personally enjoy quite a bit. Basically, if you don't like jelly..don't get jelly. It's not going to make you more well rounded to try it. You've already tried it so you know what the material is like. Jelly is something a lot of people stay away from anyway.

Try some bullets, many of those are under $40...way under. Look through the toys available and just narrow your search to under $40. Then look through, see what is highly rated and check out some reviews. less
