Where to Buy Sex Toys
It’s that time of year again, the holidays are coming! Are you prepared for long shopping lines, tons of relatives asking why you’re not married yet (or why you don’t have kids), and hours and hours of cooking, eating and cleaning? Does just the thought of all of it sound so stressful? Well, maybe you need to unwind a bit with a new “friend” that won’t ask so many questions. Yes, we are talking about finding a new sex toy to help you relax and feel amazing right now!
While shopping for a new sex toy can be exciting, it can also be a bit intimidating. Where do you go? What kind of product do you choose? There are toys out there resembling body parts, ones that look like squid monsters, bunny-shaped toys that look like they came out of a failed lab experiment, and even toys decorated in neon colors that glow in the dark.
If that’s what you’re into, perfect! But if it’s not your thing, we hope you won’t be too traumatized by the experience. And if that weren’t intimidating enough, there are also vibrating and non-vibrating toys that can greatly affect your pleasure as well as your wallet. Of course, this doesn’t mean you have to choose only one sex toy for the rest of your life, but it will help a lot if you know what you want to begin with. Having a clear idea of what you want can save you a lot of time, stress, and money.
In this blog, we are going to provide you with some very important points to think about when selecting and purchasing a sex toy. Your choice could decide whether that toy becomes your best friend, or another forgettable “one night stand.” But do not despair, we are here to help you find the one that brings you satisfying pleasure night after night. So please stay tuned and read on.
Where Do I Start?
When you first want to buy a sex toy, where do you begin? It’s very true that where you begin your shopping experience can decide what brands and models you see. As there are so many companies selling adult toys these days, how do you know what you’re really getting? Are they safe? What materials are they made of? Do they have reviews from actual users? Are they selling authentic merchandise, or are they selling fakes? And what kind of refund and exchange policy do they offer? In general, what you really need to know is whether the site you are looking at is the right place to buy a sex toy.
If you are reading this, you’re probably familiar with TENGA’s website. This could be a great place to start. What could be better than to shop with a brand that has been serving the self-pleasure community since 2005? We’ve done our homework. Every few years, we commission a study on masturbation, to find the trends and habits of people all around the world, called the TENGA Self-Pleasure Report. A company that cares so much about peoples’ self-pleasure has got to have some amazing products!
If you look at any of TENGA’s product pages and you’ll find some very helpful information. For example, on each product page, we list the special features of the item, what materials they are made of, as well as the internal and external dimensions so you know whether the size is the right fit for you. In addition, we’ve taken the time to create lots of videos to help show how the items work.
Also, we have made our returns and exchange policy clear to get rid of any confusion. It’s true, due to the nature of the product, it cannot be returned for refund once it has been opened. A lot of large retailers follow the same policy (there’s a hygiene and safety issue to this). But if there is a clear defect, the item can be exchanged. We can help with that. We just want to be honest and upfront with you about all aspects of purchasing a sex toy. No surprises, just pleasure!
Overall, we try to leave as few stones unturned as possible to help you make a better decision on your next sex toy.
Do You Know What You Want?
Let’s talk about what kind of toy you might want to try. If you have yet to decide, ask yourself what kind of stimulation you would like to experience. For example, a softer elastomer can provide an enveloping sensation around the shaft. A firmer elastomer can provide stronger stimulation. Interested in vibration? Or would you like to experience an amazing spinning effect? Of course, you can choose several options that may satisfy your different moods on different days. There is no end to the types of sensations you can experience with a wide variety of products and lotions. Just have an idea of what you would like experience now, so you can make your search a lot easier. You can always come back later and try something else.
Online or In-Store?
There is also the question of if you should purchase online or go to an actual physical store. You might feel a bit apprehensive going to an adult shop and not wanting to be seen (‘What would the neighbors say if they found out?’). Online stores can offer more privacy when choosing the right toy, and you can take your time going over the features and benefits.
On the other hand, some physical retail stores may have a corner where you can actually see and touch the product. Of course, you can’t physically try the product in-store due to health and safety reasons. However, you can gain a better understanding of your purchase through the sample displays. In addition, you can engage in conversations with store employees who are knowledgeable about the products.
As discussions about self-pleasure become increasingly open, major department stores and retailers now offer sex toys. At many places, you can pick up your groceries, your prescriptions, a few pairs of socks and a vibrator or sleeve, all in one stop. However, some individuals may still feel uncomfortable standing in line with an adult toy in their shopping cart. Online shopping can alleviate these barriers to purchase, depending on your comfort level.
Another option is doing your research online, finding out as much as you can about a certain item, and then going to a physical store to purchase the item that you want. If you are considering buying a TENGA product, either online or at a retail store, our sites provide a wealth of information, including reviews and details on all of our products.
You can feel comfort in knowing that TENGA is not only a seller of adult toys, but we also design, manufacture, market, and sell our products. Rest assured we have attempted to consider every aspect of the toy and how it can bring the most pleasure to our customers. We hope you will use our online resources in order to make the best informed decision possible.
You can find online TENGA Stores for the US, Europe, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and a dedicated iroha Store in the US as well.
For those who prefer to support their local retail stores, you can visit our website to check which stores in your area carry authorized TENGA products. Go to www.tenga.co and select ‘BUY TENGA’ from the top menu. Then, choose ‘TENGA STORE LOCATOR.’ Simply select your region to find a retail or online store for shopping.
