Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Over $100 is pretty normal for a high quality silicone toy. BD toys are often somewhat large and have many options such as firmness and color available upon request. They could probably get away with selling their $200 products for closer to $150 and still make a profit, but they've established themselves as the top dog (pun somewhat intended) of a very niche market and can get away with charging a premium.

And I think the vast majority of folks who purchase from them have every intention of using their products way more than once.

So, they're the Lexus of sex toys?
