Shopping for Bedroom Toys Without the Embarrassment
Shopping for your bedroom toys can be a difficult task for some people. The discomfort of going into a brick and mortar store to shop for your sex toys is quite understandable. There are so many different products on the market, so the last thing you need is to feel rushed in making your purchase because of your embarrassment. As an owner of a well known web site that provides Adult Toys, we can offer certain tips to make sure that your shopping experience is non intimidating, informative, and discreet so you will feel at ease with making future purchases.
Purchase your bedroom toys from an Online Retailer – Buying your bedroom toys from a web site will provide a more comfortable shopping atmosphere since you are doing it from the comfort of your own home. There are web sites such as ours that pride themselves on easy product navigation, so you can search under specific categories such as Vibrators, Dildos, Toys for him, Toys for Couples, etc. Going even further, most shopping sites will also have subcategories so you can certain for a specific type of vibrator such as Discreet Vibrators, Powerful Vibrators, Traditional Vibrators, etc.
Look for a Buying Guide Section and Customer Reviews Section– Most reputable adult toy web sites understand that making this type of purchase can be a difficult process. Our web site offers a Vibrator Buying Guide that provides detailed information on the many types of vibrators that are specific to certain areas of stimulation. The Buying Guide also contains product recommendations that will aid the customer in their search. The Customer Reviews Section is always a helpful shopping tool to help you learn what other customers like you are saying about the product. However, if you notice that all the products on the site seem to be getting top ratings, use your discretion. This could be a ploy for the site to just use this section as a selling tool. Our web site actually offers honest customer reviews. We actually have a separate section on our web site that displays our Highest Rated Products as well as Our Lowest Rating Products.
Make Sure the Web Site is Trustworthy – Check to see if the web site has certain certifications such as BizRate Customer Certified, which allows you to see customer feedback as well as the overall web site rating. Some web sites also have Hacker Safe and VeriSign logos, which ensure that the site uses these services to keep your information secure.
Keep Your Billing and Shipping Information Private – Make sure that the web site states that they will keep your billing and shipping discreet. For example, when our customers order from us, our corporate name, Go Live appears on the billing statement as well as on the shipping label. This is also important especially if there are children in the household. In addition, look to see if the web site also has a statement regarding sending out unsolicited mail. Many customers do not wish to receive catalogs or be placed on any mailing lists. If the company does send out newsletter emails or printed catalogs, you should be given the choice to receive this material or not.
Shop With a Site That Has a Customer Service Phone Number – Some web sites only offer a customer service email, as opposed to a phone number. Only shop at a web site that offers a working customer service phone number. This is important in case you have product questions, returns, or need information on your shipment.
Overall, make sure that ordering and shipping procedures are clearly stated on the web site. In addition, please make sure you thoroughly read the return policy, especially due to the nature of the products being purchased. Using the above shopping tips will to simplify and ease your sex toy shopping experience.

Getting Rid of That New Sex Toy Smell
Latex, Silicone, Plastic, and Rubber, have their own distinctive odor. Manufactures today try very hard to mask these odors by giving many of the products an odor masking spray over. Unfortunately, it normally does not do much to hide the smell. This problem effects the “Jelly” Like toys. Plastic, metal, glass and silicone toys normally do not have any odor. We especially like the Fun Factory Toys which for a softer feeling toy, have no odor.
So the bottom line is that as annoying as the smell is, there’s no danger of it being toxic, and there is no defect with your toy.
Here are some tips to reduce the “New Toy Smell”
Air it Out
When you take your toy out of the box for the very first time let it breathe. Place your toy where it’s going to get fresh airflow across it. The fresh flowing air will definitely help to take away these odors.
So don’t stuff your new toys away in a place that doesn’t have any airflow, also depending on where it’s placed; it may give its neighbor a similar odor.
Wash It Out
Just as important as letting your new toy breath, it’s important that you wash your new toy. The best way to accomplish this is by using one of our new toy cleaners. Before & After Toy Cleaner is great for cleaning and it will help add to life and, more importantly, it will give it a nice fresh scent and keep it looking new.
There are some sex toys that come out of the box with a powdery residue, these include, NeoSkin or CyberSkin.
It’s important to clean these products when you take them out of the box with your adult toy cleaner and as soon as your done cleaning it, you need to replace the powder by applying just a light coating of Corn Starch to it. This will help from breaking down the elements in the toy itself, and keep it fresh.
Although I do not recommend it, you can clean your toy with a mild anti-bacterial soap. Make sure the soap is mild. Detergents used in some soaps can cause damage to the toy and you. If you have any type of irritation after washing it may be because of the soap.
Mask The Smell
Your new toy smell will eventually dissipate over time. If you want the quick fix. Follow these simple instructions:
a.) Clean your new toy with an Adult Toy Cleaner
b.) Rinse your toy in cold water (be careful you do not get any of the circuitry wet) and let it air dry.
c.) Use a Flavored Lubricant to mask the scent. We were told of this a few years ago and it works great! Flavored Lube Change its odor and give it a new one like the flavor of the lube you are using.

Helping Women Shop for Adult Toys Without Surfing Porn
Two years ago, when an argument about what side of the porch we should hang the windsock escalated into a 4-hour discussion about ‘it makes me angry when’, my husband and I stumbled onto a much deeper-rooted problem in our marriage. We discovered that neither one of us was satisfied with our sex life. He was unhappy with the frequency or infrequency rather and I was unhappy with the quality. I didn’t feel connected to him during sex there wasn’t any passion. We agreed to each make a list of different things we individually felt would improve our sex and made a date to share our lists with one another the next evening.
When it came time to share our lists we sat next to each other on the couch with a glass of wine and one by one read off our improvement strategies. You can imagine my shock and horror when he got to #3 on his list and said, “I’d like to buy some adult toys and use them on you.” My mind said, “What!? You want me to shop for dildos, are you nuts!? “ But my mouth said, “I will do some research and see what I can come up with.” So, the next day I went online, there was no way I was going to go into the local porn shop, slap a vibrator and some lube on the counter, smile and say ‘charge it please.’ I opened my favorite search engine and typed in ‘small, clean, gentle adult toy for a woman’ the first web link on the list read ‘I like my sex dirty and my toys clean.’ That was enough research for that day.
The following day I went at it again, this time I was determined to find an adult toy website that I felt okay shopping at and didn’t blast me with a bunch of pop-ups advertising web cam girls or category lists that included butt products or cock rings and that didn’t have the pictures of their products in my face. This went on for several days I would go online and search the web for adult toys and try not to feel like I was doing something wrong, every time the phone would ring or the mail man came I would immediately minimize my browser window for fear that someone would see what I was looking at and think I was a pervert. Of course if I tried to close the window I would a million other windows popping up advertising one kind of porn or another.
A few weeks went by and I was very close to giving up, one night my husband and I were laying in bed and he asked sheepishly, “How is your adult toy research coming?” Oh I get it – cumming – you’re cute. Then it hit me and I confidently answered hubby’s question with, “Baby, I’m going to open an online adult toy store specifically for women like me, women who want to spice up their sex life and feel sexy and powerful without having to buy products from adult toy website who are quite obviously designed with men in mind.” And that is exactly what I did. At Avalon In Bloom you will find a sexy and romantic design with zero pop-ups and product images with a click to view option. You can have your browser open if the kiddos come into the room without worrying they might see something you don’t want them to and you will never find racy language in the product categories. This website was designed with women, moms, sisters, aunts and nieces in mind. We are powerful and sensual creatures and Avalon In Bloom is our website.
