Hi Tovika,

That depends on the type of toy. Many toys (like vibrators) are made for multiple uses. However, you can check out places like target or rite aid (drugstores, essentially). They usually have a few little toys mixed in with the condoms and lube. You can also give this piece a read about how to experiment with some DIY toys:

As far as one-time-use toys, those throwaway vibrating cockrings that come in some boxes of condoms can be fun. Still, better to invest in toys that'll be hardy and safe in the long term once you know what you guys like. :)

Hey tovika ,

You can purchase vibrating cock-rings that allow you to change the batteries. You can find them in novelty stores or you can buy them online like Amazon. You can find some good deals online, I recently purchased a sex toy on Amazon for under $20. Some stores even ship orders to you, if where you are isn't offering that particular toy for you but another store does, as an example.

Some lubes have different sensations as well, like: hot, cold, chilly, smooth, cold and hot, flavours, body lubes, etc., and I know it's not sex toys but they do add another world to having sex.

Just one reminder that often cheap sex toys are just that, which means that:
• You wind up paying more for toys over time because heap toys tend to break, and more importantly,
• Cheap toys are often made with materials that aren't actually good for bodies, particularly phthalates.

So, often when you don't have a modest amount of money to spend, you're better off going a DIY route than you are buying really cheap pre-manufactured goods.
