5 steps to buying a vibrator

But all pre-conceived notions go flying out the window when you step into your local novelty store. The gamut of toys of available will likely surprise you. So before you make that trip, here are some steps you should go through and questions you should answer before you head out to make your experience easier.

5 steps to follow before buying a sex toy:

1. Determine what you want the toy for. Is it for you and you alone? Are you looking to get stimulation for yourself alone or yourself and a partner?
2. Find out about the materials available. Toys can be made of everything from marble and glass to silicone and latex. Many materials can have adverse implications on your body both immediately and long-term. Make sure to find out what each material can do for you, and how safe it is before buying.
3. Once you have a good idea of the toy you’re thinking of purchasing, find out what people are saying about it. Look for user reviews for feedback about how the toy has worked for others who have purchased it. This is a great way to find out about defective issues or fun alternative uses that other buyers have discovered.
4. Pick your vendor. Whether it’s online or a physical store down the street, make sure you feel comfortable with the reputation of the business you intend to purchase from. Take some time to find reviews and testimonials to make sure you get the service and knowledge you are looking for.
5. Ask questions. People often get flustered when it’s time to make a purchase decision and forget to ask the important questions, only to get home and stare at the object in their hand wondering “how do I turn this thing on?”. Take advantage of the time you’re in the store or on the phone with a vendor or manufacturer to ask questions about the product. Even “is there anything else that I should know?” can provide you with some unexpectedly valuable details.
