Why you should never buy sex toys on Amazon.
I see people on here all the time talking about buying sex toys on Amazon so it’s time to run through this again. I know it may seem like you’re saving money but when something seems too good to be true it usually is.
- The main reason you shouldn’t buy sex toys on Amazon is that, unlike buying from reputable retailers, you have absolutely no garuntee that the product you’re buying hasn’t been used, returned, and resold. The sex you industy in America is almost completely unregulated so really can’t trust amazon to hold better business practices than legally required. People have found bodily fluid and pubic hair on toys purchased from Amazon.
- The second biggest reason is that you’re more than likely buying an expensive knock off labeled as a brand name item. The way the amazon marketplace works is by sorting items with the same bar code name into the same catagory. So let’s say you want a wi vibe so you pay for one but what happens is that amazon doesn’t log a difference between a brand name Wi-vibe and a knock off from China. They’re both just labeled “wi-vibe” so you pay for a quality item and get a cheap knock off. So you may think you’re getting a high quality item for $50 but instead you’re getting a $10 look alike that will die and malfunction quickly. Imagine paying for a Lelo (the most luxury sex toy brand) and getting something nothing like that.
- And lastly, it’s not safe for you! Because the chances of you getting a knock off are so high, it’s very likely that you’ll get something made out of harmful materials. A lot of the sex toys made cheaply in China and places like that have no body safe regulations on materials so not only could you pay for a brand name item and not get it , but you might actually get something that could make you sick or even poison you. Some toys will even leak oils and chemicals when exposed to water or fluids.
In summation, buying from Amazon is NOT safe for you, will most likely rip you off, and you could even be getting used products.
Below I’m listing Dangerous Lily’s list of best places to buy. I recommend reading her reviews before purchasing anything expensive.
Where to buy:
SheVibe
Early to bed
Smitten Kitten
Good Vibes
Come as you are
Be vibrant
HotOctopuss
And directly from the brand retailor like we-vibe, Lelo, body wand, etc.
Apparently the sale of sex toys on amazon have spiked since everyone is stuck at home so I’m bringing this back as a PSA.
PS: a LOT of third party sellers on Amazon have jumped onto the sex toy bandwagon and are offering “free” toys for reviewing - but the thing is they ask you for your Paypal so you can make an order, give them the order number, and then refund the amount thru Paypal.
This is sales padding and it’s reportable to the FTC, they’re having you pose as an actual customer but refunding you behind the scenes so its “free”. It’s a scam to boost their numbers.
If a company or online store wants you to review products for free, it will actually be 100% free and there will be no talk of placing orders and being refunded for them.

Yknow it belatedly occurs to me that those old ways of “welp, we had a drought, a famine, and a plague so the gods don’t like our king, lets get rid of him” actually make logical sense. If the king didn’t encourage infrastructure like digging wells, or invest in putting money aside to help feed people in times of crisis, or didn’t enact laws to stop the spread of disease….yeah. He needed to go. Not because the gods were angry, but because he was a bad king, and putting a new one in authority who would do those things to fix the problems would at least help weather the storm more effectively.
#in completely unrelated news i think the gods don’t like our king #perhaps we should see if a blood sacrifice of the wealthy will soothe them (tags via @words-writ-in-starlight)

TLDR: Taal Volcano (located in the Philippines) is active right now and could have a massive eruption at any moment. ~560,000 people are in immediate danger and millions more could be affected by it.
(this is barely being reported on by western news btw. why talk about natural disasters when we could talk about british royal family drama)
What’s happened as of January 14th:
- “The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology has since raised the alert for Taal to level 4 which means a ‘hazardous eruption’ is possible within days or hours.”
- On January 13th, Taal shot lava into the air for an hour and a half, reaching hights of half a mile, along with static lighting and giant clouds of ash
- Taal has had 50 volcanic earthquakes within a period of 8 hours
- Buildings close to Taal have collapsed under the weight of ash
- The “calamity zone” is everywhere within a 9 mile radius of the volcano. 560,000 people live in this zone and only 30,000 have evacuated.
- It’s in the middle of a huge lake (as you can see in the pictures), and an eruption could trigger a tsunami
The CNN Philippines website has a list of groups accepting donations to help evacuees
