Review Summary: For a site as complex as it is, Adult eMart is actually quite easy to navigate and understand. And even though this site has a major emphasis on adult DVDs, adult video on demand and/or porn stars, it has a very nice section devoted to adult sex toys. The search functions are top-notch, as is the product information. The number of menu sub-categories is huge, which reflects the extensive and well-organized list of products available. All in all, Adult eMart is a great website to learn about and buy adult sex toys online, especially for those that are also interested in adult DVDs and/or adult video on demand. Very few online stores are able to provide a good resource for both movies and toys on the same website, so Adult eMart has reason to be proud of it’s accomplishment in doing just that.

Pros: Detailed and customizable search functions, great selection of unique novelty items, pre-assembled “love kits” which provide several items within a certain theme, “First Time Shoppers” page

Cons: No articles, blog or forum, the main pages are very visually busy, the product reviews are limited to one review which is obtained from another industry source, Customer Service hours are not posted

Review Summary:
Clearly, Extreme Restraints knows the fetish/bondage/BDSM market and community. And although their focus is on that specific niche, they still do a great job at providing a wide range of sex toy products. Customers can find basic sex toys amongst the bondage items, however the website is quite obviously marketed towards and favors the fetish niche. Within this context, the site is organized well, and is easy to navigate. It has various useful features, and with the inclusion of a links page, information on events, product guides, and a regularly updated blog, this website provides an active community vibe. The individual product information is basic at best, however there are usually helpful customer comments and reviews. It is noticeable, however, that the majority of customer reviews are 4 to 5 (out of 5) stars. In comparison to product reviews on many other websites, this is a relatively high average, and therefore should be taken into account when using these reviews to determine whether or not to make a purchase. That being said, the reviews and also the customer testimonials attest to the great job Extreme Restraints does at providing quality products on a quality website.

Pros: Extreme Rewards Program (5% credit for every purchase made), easy site navigation, great product guides, lots of bargain items, and an annual drawing for a $1,000 shopping spree, extensive list of categories, regularly updated blog, extensive list of links/resources, daily specials

Cons: Not much product information, shipping is above average for orders over $40, no “most popular items” category, website layout is limited to only the fetish/bondage niche, no refunds/exchanges on items deemed a “health risk”, two non-working links (Kink Pay Per View, and New Gallery)

Review Summary:
Within the BDSM/bondage/fetish community, JT’s Stockroom is well-known and well-loved. But don’t let the emphasis on this niche fool you. In addition to probably the best online selection of BDSM/fetish items, Stockroom has a wide variety of other sex toys and adult items. They are the oldest sex toy company on the internet, and have been in the sex toy industry for far longer, which means they are experts at what they do. Whether you are curious, inexperienced, or know exactly what you want, Stockroom is worth checking out.

Pros: One of the top online sources for BDSM, bondage, and fetish items; great reputation in the BDSM community; huge variety of sex toys (BDSM and non-BDSM); signature items made by/for Stockroom, custom items available

Cons: No “how to guides”, no reviews of products, some pages of the website aren’t kept up to date

Review Summary: With an extremely large selection of products and categories, Sex Toy Sex is sure to have everything you are looking for. The company has been in the sex toy business for almost 15 years, and based on this experience it successfully provides all the essentials for an online sex toy store. The look of the site is very clean, and well-organized, and it is generally easy to navigate. What it lacks in “personality” (no blogs, “how to” articles, newsletter, etc.), it makes up for in solid performance: a fast-loading site, privacy, customer service, a variety of payment options, and respectable shipping rates. And if it’s personality you’re looking for, you won’t be disappointed with it’s owner, Sex Toy Dave, who has made a name for himself in the Hollywood scene and most notably as a client on Bravo’s hit TV show, Millionaire Matchmaker. But with or without the owner’s celebrity status, Sex Toy Sex is a winner.

Pros: Fast loading site, “What’s New” and “Bestsellers” categories, favorites list, advanced search functions, huge quantity of products and categories, plenty of payment options including wire transfer

Cons: Only one view of product on product page, product reviews not notated on product page, no “sort by” option for search results, no sale/bargain category, search function includes DVDs in results (no way to separate)
