toys

I got my first vibrator recently, and as far as I know it's a fairly good one, but I'm not too impressed with it! I've never had any problems at all with coming through sex or on my own, but when I use the vibrator it takes absolutely forever and I get very little enjoyment out of it. I've been experimenting a bit with using it different ways, and really taking time out to get in the mood and see if it's any better then, but to be honest it's becoming a bit of a chore trying to make it enjoyable and I'd rather just do without it! Has anyone else ever experienced this?

I've noticed that loads of people are mentioning UK sites for toys. I try to shop for toys (and everything else) only in Ireland so that we keep the little Irish business alive. Also some of the .ie toy sites are owned by big UK companies. I buy and some of my friends by at

http://www.toysforjoys.ie
or
http://www.sextoysireland.ie (free shipping)

The likes of sex-toys.ie., bondara, Love Honey and Anne summers are all UK based. Glad they are there and they are good but some of the Irish ones could do with our support

I'm not giving out, just pro Irish business.

Rediscovered this thread from the guilty pleasures one

Just in case anyone's interested, Ann Summers is having a sale at the moment and you can get quite a few fun things for very cheap! They have one vibrator for 6 euro.

Hiya girls,

I have never tried a vibrator but personally I dont tend to achieve orgasm through penetrative. I did invest in a rosebud(clitoral stimulator) from Ann Summers a few years back(they dont seem to do them anymore) and oh mai.....I lovvvvvvved it, barely left my room

Belle E. Flops

kinkydevil.ie were the company I used and can't recommend them enough!!

I had a rabbit that I bought 2 years ago, and I loved the clitoral stimulation part, but just couldn't get anything from the rest of it, so I ended up dumping it for one of the little Ann Summers bullets. Does anyone else ever get this, or was I doing something wrong? I've never had an orgasmic experience from penetration, not that I'm complaining, it's all still great Just wondering is it not meant for some people?

Tbh I'd just go with what works for you - if clit stimulation gets you off a lot more than penetration, work with that and try toys which emphasize that.

Got it on sale the other day for €6 or something, I really don't like it! The bullet in it is great but I don't like the rose bit.

I've been using vibrators since I was about 17, so 6 years now! I pretty much have a collection of different shapes and styles Rabbit is my favourite though! I have 2!

If your ever worried about getting one, don't be! The girls working in Ann Summers are the nicest, so honest and helpful, sharing all their knowledge!

I was in Dublin Tuesday of last week. Only ones they had on sale were the rosebud, which has a bullet with it, and this slim, straight one that has a measure on it :P I think they were both €6. The bullet of the rosebud is good, the other one is pretty awful, meant to be a joke really! I don't think they had any money off any of the other vibrators though.

I think that vibrators are good in small doses. I'd rather not have a woman that has desentisised herself and not learned to orgasm easily because of over reliance on vibrations and there are plenty of non vibrating toys that enhance the natural ability to orgasm, but I have one called "the celebrator", it oscillates an insane number of times per min. and will make a woman orgasm in a matter seconds.

If people realised what those €6 vibrators were made from they wouldn't be buying them. Most vibrators under €30 are packed with harmful chemicles, just Google Phthalates and see what pops up.

The famous Habbit Rabbit from Sex and the City fame was found to be made from 60% Phthalates.

Most of the toys that Ann Summers sold until last year were packed with harmful toxins. Most of the toys they sold were generic(unbranded) and its only within the last few months they are starting to sell branded products. People are copping on and they have had to act responsibly.

And tbh I don't even find them that cheap considering what your getting.

Most people care more about what the creams they put on their faces are made out of than what they put inside themselves.

One peice of info.

Phthalates leach into the body and has been found to cause cancer and are hormone disruptors that can have drastic effects on unborn babies(hormonal problems).

Silicone is the best material to make sex toys from. It might be a little bit more expensive but it is non-porous, non-toxic, easily sterilised, bio-degradable, doesn't have an offensive odour, are Phthalate free and can last a life time.

I got 2 vibrators a couple of years ago and after a few weeks of not using them took them out to find them stuck together and covered with an oily substance. The oily sustance was Phthalates and stank like a new shower curtain(off gassing).

Avoid cheap sex toys.

And remember, if it smells bad, it is bad.

€6 vibrator:(:mad:.

I agree, the Ann Summers range tends to be gimmicky crap and there are plenty of steel, glass and high quality silicone toys out there that will last a lot longer than the 3 or 6 months a gimmicky plastic thing with lots of bells and whistles will. As for bullets, you get what you pay for. A six euro bullet will burn out very quickly and probably isn't made from good quality steel.

sue have you just opened an online shop ? Would your opinion be biased?

There is validity in what she is saying, most products that contain phthalates have been taken off the market, many toys will carry a statement saying that they don't contain phthalates... and Ann Summers stock along with the majority of the fluffy marketed to women type outlets are usually more the novelty end. The best places to find quality toys are bdsm sites.

Hi ted,

I have and yes I'm totally biased.

Jacqueline Gold has made hundreds of millions from selling tack and I have started an online shop aimed at the more informed customer and even to inform the potential customer of the dangers of cheaply made generic toys.

Seriously, Miss Gold has been selling Novelty items for over 30 years and its only now she's changing, because people are more informed.

For those who want some further information about the materials in sex toys, it may be worth reading this guide from LoveHoney.

suey71

The guy who owns Lovehoney is a master at PR and has a team of people at his disposal coming up with ways to sell products that are not that safe.

Love Honey still sells toxic toys but they leave it up to you if you want to buy them. His concience is clean. Just put a condom over it and you'll be OK.

He might even have a €6 vibrator for sale.

:pac: I take it you don't masturbate so? Since you're "desensitising" yourself to the feeling of actual sex? Yes, if either sex is masturbating to the point that it's the only way they can reach orgasm, it's a problem, but that point is not "small doses"

He has a point though, he's not saying not to masturbate, he's just talking about the vibrations. I never use anything except my vibrator to orgasm tbh, I get a lot of pleasure doing other things but that's the only way I can climax.

However I wouldn't say I've "desensitised" myself. I couldn't do it any other way before either

I'm of the completely opposite opinion. A lot of women don't like to touch themselves. Using a vibrator to learn how to orgasm can be a very good thing for women to do.

I'm not sure why you think that using a vibrator would desensitise a women to the extent that she wouldn't be able to orgasm through other methods.

Well ladies,

I'm staying in home alone this weekend - managed to get myself ill - and to cheer myself up I may have headed out and spent way more than I was planning to on a Lelo (Mona). Hadn't even heard of them 'till today but I saw one and fell in love.

Now, aesthetically they're very attractive, and I've come home and read a few reviews and, suffice to say, I'm looking forward to later. This is very much a girl thing to say but I feel like I've just bought the most amazing pair of shoes and I can't wait to wear them to the ball!

I'm just surprised that I haven't heard of this brand before. Now, it's not something that would come up in my conversations a lot, but still.

I'm just hoping it lives up to its reputation. Does anybody have any Lelo experience??
