I'm so sad...I was working my way up to an orgasm with my trusty vibe, then my laptop battery dies (and with it, my mood music). Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I wanted to scream. And not in the good way.

Pepper, I'm not Kreskin. I didn't know what you had or didn't have, nor can I read minds. I didn't wish to make assumptions, so I played it safe in my reply. Some people come to toys in life & don't really know whether they are going to like vibes or not. I have several friends that are down with dildos & butt plugs, but find vibes irritating/numbing/not so stimulating. I bought my first one when I was about eighteen & I couldn't afford to be dropping eighty bucks on a sex toy. Also, it took time & experimentation to find out what I liked in a vibe. Frankly, my two favourite vibes (Ten years later.) cost me less than twenty bucks apiece. Once I got the hang of the RH, it was great, but I still get off quicker with an old school, fifteen dollar Slimline. Yeah, I have to replace it once a year, but it's quiet, cheap, & does the quick trick. It's also why I don't have six hundred bucks worth of useless junk in my toy bins. Classics are classics for a good reason & the Slimlines are classic & come in fun patterns/colours. Growing up my mom had one, even though it was a hideous nude colour. If you check in at Working Girls, the vibe thread, theredhead agrees with me on costs for newbies & she works at a women friendly toy store. I figure she knows her shit & her first timer cap is $25. Like I said, I don't know you or what lurks under your bed. I didn't know how experienced you were & responded in what I thought was accordingly.

On the glass thing *again*, I don't care who you're dating, my Archer Wand doesn't see as much action as my pyrex. Am I sticking it into a hot oven a couple times a week? No. As hot as I fancy myself, I do not have a four hundred degree ginch. Am I slinging my AW around the kitchen? No. If I drop it, it's on my bed or in the bath sink four feet from my bedroom. I've never knicked, dropped, or treated my AW with anything but respect & if I saw any flaw in it, I'd throw it out & buy a new one. Frankly, I find phtalate filled toys much more disturbing than glass. Glass is non-porous, easy to clean, weightier than acrylic, & retains heat. But that's just my opinion.
