Grade: C

Review Summary: With two retail locations, Something Sexy Planet has certainly earned it’s expertise in the world of adult sex toys. The personality of the store is evident on the pages of the website, however it is obvious that the focus of the company is it’s retail stores first, and then it’s website. The site is simple, generally easy to navigate, and the variety of products available is surprisingly vast, given the modest number of total products. It is not lacking any of the essential ingredients of a good online sex toy store, and it provides some nice features, such as a customer service 800# and online customer service (although the hours are not posted on the website.) Overall, Something Sexy Planet provides the basics (in product and website options), and does so in a user-friendly format.

Pros: Bestsellers, sale, and latest arrivals lists on the main page, e-mail discounts including instant savings on first order, customer service 800# and online live help

Cons: Modest number of products, no product reviews or ratings, pre-checked addition of batteries to cart (when purchasing an item requiring batteries), no video on demand/pay per view
