Building Your Toy Collection: Essentials, Nice-to-Haves, and Worthy Splurges
A great toy collection isn’t about having the most toys — it’s about having the right toys for you. Here’s how to build yours strategically.
The Starter Kit ($100–150)
Every collection needs these basics:
- Bullet vibrator — We-Vibe Tango ($80)
- Good lube — Sliquid H2O ($15)
- Small dildo or G-spot vibe — Pillow Talk Sassy ($55)
- Total: ~$150
The Expanded Collection ($300–400)
Add these for more variety:
- Suction toy — Womanizer Starlet ($80)
- Wand — Magic Wand Rechargeable ($130)
- Butt plug set — b-Vibe Snug Plugs ($50 each)
- Couples’ toy — We-Vibe Pivot ($110)
The Dream Drawer ($600+)
For the serious enthusiast:
- Luxury rabbit — We-Vibe Nova 2 ($150)
- Stainless steel — Njoy Pure Wand ($120)
- App-controlled — Lovense Lush 3 ($120)
- Prostate massager — Lelo Hugo ($170)
- BDSM basics — Sportsheets restraint system ($70)
Budget Tips
- Buy quality over quantity — one great toy > three cheap ones
- Watch for sales — Black Friday, Valentine’s Day, Pride Month
- Start with versatile toys — a good bullet works for clit, nipples, perineum
- Read reviews before buying — our blog has tons!
Storage and Organization
- Individual storage bags — most quality toys come with them
- Cool, dark place — sunlight degrades silicone
- Separate silicone toys — they can damage each other if touching
- Lockable box — if you have kids or nosy roommates
Maintenance Budget
Don’t forget ongoing costs:
- Lube — $10–20/month depending on use
- Toy cleaner — $10–15/bottle (lasts months)
- Condoms for toys — optional, but great for easy cleanup
- Battery replacements — if not rechargeable
Recommended Strategy
Start with the starter kit. Use each toy for a month. Then ask: “What’s missing?” Buy based on genuine curiosity, not impulse.
