What do you do with the toys you don't like?

Unless they are torn apart to a totally useless stage, I keep them as backup. I can usually make anything work for something. Even if it means ripping bullets out of something or mixing and matching.

Mine unfortunately end up in the bottom of the drawer. And if it was a good toy and someone had one similar and wanted to give it up I would gladly take it as long as I knew it was a material that could be well cleaned.....

I've gotten rid of many low quality toys - but some get recycled in the bedroom. Sometimes a toy that didn't work for some reason will come back into favor. I just look through the stash once in and retry some of them.

My only question is, who are their 'affiliates'?
This is a great idea, They have a thing to become an affiliate
Eden Fantasys should do this. Its worth a try.

Same here.

Well, if they are non-porous, and can be sterilized, I have a few friends who will take them. Toys are expensive! I know I am close enough with my friends to drink after them. Now, I know this isn't the same, but they know I take good care of my toys and I would never give them something made of jelly or rubber. The 100% silicone toys, glass, and hard non porous plastics are all examples of materials that can be sterilized with boiling water, bleach, etc. I can understand why some people wouldn't want used toys, and I am not saying I would use one that came from a stranger, but someone I know very well? I wouldn't mind it. I know my friends well enough to know the "ins and outs" of their sex lives, whether they have any diseases, or whether or not they share toys and who with.

As long as it can be sterilized (Silicone) I have no problem with used toys! I will admit, my instant reaction was "Ew..." but that quickly changed.

So far, the only toys I have that I hated enough to never use again, are ones that can't be sterilized..so unfortunately they sit unused in my drawer, but if I come across a silicone toy I hate I will pass it on or trade/sell it.

I would probably throw it away. There is no way I would use a used sex toy. It just seems so wrong....and I would feel weird asking someone if they wanted it. I would be afraid to offend them

My brother-in-law once gave hubby some of his old cock rings. Hubby said "there is no way I am wearing something that was around my brothers' balls!" So we tossed them. I've thrown away toys if they are pure junk or are painful and I wouldn't want anyone else using them either.

I don't know anyone who would want used toys that have been in my orifices, sterilizable or not. I could see giving someone BDSM gear, such as handcuffs, ropes, etc...

I have a slight sex toy hoarding problem... even if it's not my favorite, even if I'll probably never use it again, I usually don't get rid of toys. The exception would be jelly toys and anything else that degrades and gets yucky over time, although I no longer buy those and have thrown most of mine out at this point. Anything high-quality will be kept, even if I don't love it.

I only threw away a jelly toy. I don't want something nasty like that occupying my drawer when I should be making room for something better =/

Also I don't know if I could give my friends toys I used.. I have only have one friend who would consider it but she doesn't like the thought of used toys.

Ultimately, I will throw away toys during spring cleaning. I see no reason to keep something I don't enjoy, I have this weird thing where I have to cycle through all my toys or I feel bad for neglecting one.

Right now they're at the bottom of a rubbermaid tub, to be literal. Eventually I'll probably send the ones I don't like to a recycle program or something. Sterlizable ones I will exchange at times.

I tossed all of my jelly toys, or gave them to the brick and mortar store I used to live near when they had a recycling deal for Earth Day (bring in an old toxic toy, get 30% off a new one!). The rest are just in a separate box at the bottom of my toy area.

I have one of these, and the two of us did NOT get along. I really, really hate the shape of it. I have actually been plotting something awesome to do with it, because it sticks on the wall so well. Imagine all the places you could put it! Think of the bus stop ads you could pervert! I considered using it as a coat hanger in my apartment, but it's just a little too graphic for most of my visitors. But quickly sticking it in some choice place in public, taking a picture, then making an unobtrusive getaway is very very appealing. I don't want it anymore, and I think it could bring me more joy as a prank than it could in its intended use.

There's a toy that I absolutely hate, but I keep it around just because I can't stand to throw it away. I'll be on the next episode of "Hoarders: Sex Toy Edition."

I haven't had many toys that I disliked to the point of wanting to get rid of them. We have, however, thrown out our old jelly toys after they started breaking apart, and a few scruffier bondage and sensual play products that were too terrible to hold onto and no one wanted.

Maybe so for the kiddos at home. Or maybe it'll be in A&E's secret stash.

Or maybe, just maybe, they'll skip the Hoarders series all together and put me on Intervention.

I don't throw them out unless they're broken/defective, I just relegate them to the back of the toy box. In a sex toy emergency, a toy that isn't my favorite performs double duty in a pinch.

If they're sterilizible or if they've only been used by me, and a partner enjoys it, I'm happy to give it to them.

I haven't had any that didn't work at ALL for me, really, and if I ever come across one I expect that I'll make some kind of sex toy art with it, make it into something that DOES work for me.

If a toy can be sterilised I've been known to give them away to friends, but if they are really bad, poorly made or not created from body safe materials they usually end up in the trash... unless they are super cute and look like animals or other everyday things as i kinda collect toys like that

Ooooh, wonderful idea.


I had this one vibrator that just was too big and the nubs were painful.
Disgustingly, a friend with a not-so-wonderful boyfriend STOLE my toy. You heard correctly. After I told her it was too big for me and not my thing... she spent the night and stole my toy and some cute panties.
I was so grossed out, I hide my toys now.

Oh lord... lol. That Hoarders show would be twenty times worse with sex toys.

I just threw out my fail dolphin vibrator tonight. It hurt my heart a little bit, but that hurt is being healed by the horrid stale old lady smell coming from my Ballsy cock that I'm airing out :/

We currently just keep the less desired toys in the same area as the others, but we are almost completely out of storage space. I have an idea to start using under bed storage containers, so we will probably start by putting the less desired one's under the bed.

I hold on to them for a long while, just to see if I'll ever change my mind, which I never do, and them I finally throw them out. If I knew anybody who I thought would even be mildly interested in my used sex toys, I would look into sterilization, etc. but I don't. So, to the garbage they go.

I keep the majority of my toys. A few get tossed in the trash, like the vibrator that felt like fucking a mini Christmas tree. My first rabbit got trashed, too. Its surface just felt sticky and I didn't want to risk it. I've swapped some of my toys I didn't want, but relatively not that many considering the size of my collection.
