About a week ago we began answering this question in a post and asked you for other bright ideas. Well, we got some great suggestions in the comments. Plus, we did a little more investigative research of our own. And so we've decided to do a more comprehensive list of sex toy storage solutions -- here are 17. Just remember to abide by the storage rules we outlined before...

1. Devine Toy Storage
This is probably the most stylish line of purpose-made sex toy storage containers available. They've got a lockable toy box, a carry-on, a condom cube (which could be used for a little bullet vibe or vibrating cock ring), a satchel (pictured above) for bigger items like a paddle or a bunch of stuff for a naughty weekend, even a lingerie envelope. The site is cool, but you can't get a great feel for what they really look like until you visit other sites that have them for sale, such as Babeland and Feel Your Passion.

2. For Your Nymphomation Collection
Hands down, the best name in the biz of sex toy storage. They've got various-sized toy boxes (even one specially designed for your Hitachi Magic Wand), various-sized individual toy cases (including a tubular one in the shape of a heart, aw), a bridal collection for the best bachelorette party gift ever, bdsm cases for long floggers, even a big rolling suitcase with about a million pockets inside (for dominatrices, Tupperware-style sex toy party throwers, and people really addicted to sex toys).

3. Three Number Combination Lock Boxes
These are lightweight boxes with metal trim lined with either a black vinyl or black velvet interior. Erotic Rites has three styles available (black, silver, and pink with a butterfly pattern). BetterSex has a larger version of the pink box.

4. Fun Factory Cans and Bags
Of course our favorite toy manufacturer makes something cool to store their prod in. They've got a striped can and a silver can for their smaller toys like their Smartballs and miniVibes, as well as a velvet bag with satin lining for most of their standard-sized vibes and dildos. Eden Fantasy has got both cans.

5. Sneaky Sack
Holistic Wisdom has a whole series of sex toy storage products. The first is a locking bag that's antimicrobial, washable, and durable with three separate storage pockets!...

Just last week we were tickled neon pink to find one of our favorite sex scenes on YouTube (in English): the dueling glow-in-the-dark condoms from the otherwise horrible Skin Deep. Well, now you too can recreate that hilarious scene in all its radioactive glory. The Night Light is the first and only FDA-approved glow-in-the-dark condom! They say its non-toxic (hope, hope) and "will glow after a few minutes exposure to ordinary light (be sure to do this before you roll down or apply the condom)."

Condomania's got them for sale at 20 percent off their usual prices: one condom is two bucks (down from $2.50) and the three-pack is $4.76 ($1.59 per condom, down from $5.95 for all three). A fairly cheap way to brighten up a dull sex life.

Stylish sex-accessories designer Jimmyjane (one of our faves) has just released a pocket-sized portable pleasure set with the unfortunate name "Indulgences." It's got the basics you've seen before in pleasure packs: the waterproof mini vibe, the little feather tickler, the lube and the two condoms in a carrying case. But what sets this one apart is the "Love Decoder" that decides what comes next --  you know, just like those silly paper fortune tellers we made in junior high that looked like origami called cootie catchers. Wicked! What can we say, we're suckers for nostalgia.



This fake fashion show of couture pubic hair designs by Stefane Monzon "sponsored by" Remington pretty much sums up how we feel about the beauty/fashion industry: the lengths people, especially women, go to for external beautification are absolutely ridiculous...just don't ask us to give up our trips to Aveda!

We were reminded of this hilarious video when an overseas sex toy shop sent out a press release announcing they are carrying Betty, "color for the hair down there." Turns out pubic hair dye wasn't just something made up for an episode of Sex and the City. Yes, you can now match the carpet to the drapes, cover gray or just freak out your partner (along with blonde, brown, black and auburn, they've got hot pink and aqua blue) with dye made specifically for the short and curlies of your most sensitive area. In fact, the site claims it has amassed over 100,000 users of its product in the last two years. Is this just more fun to be had with your sexual physical identity or further proof that women need to use less brain power on the minutia of grooming if they want to head more Fortune 500 companies, earn as much as men for the same job, and/or become president?

Em and Lo:

I have run into a bit of a conundrum with my sex toys--I just can't find a good way to store them. I know that keeping them in a nightstand, while stereotypical, isn't really the most sanitary storage method. Most of the toy storage boxes that I've seen are either designed too small or are suitcases designed for toy party reps. For now, I've been keeping most of my toys in their original packaging, which isn't the most convenient solution. I know what would be ideal--an airtight, compartmentalized case so I could keep my toys in separate sections and not have to worry that a leaky bottle of silicone lube will ruin one of my treasured Fun Factory vibes. Maybe even something that could fit under the bed for easy and conveniently located storage. The problem is, I feel like I'm searching for the holy grail. What do you recommend for the best methods of toy storage?

Thanks!

There's no red carpet, or worst dressed, or canned presenter banter, or melodramatic acceptance speeches. But there may just be orgasms for you in it, which automatically makes the Sex Toy Awards way better than the Oscars (unless you're a really, rilly big George Clooney fan). Sex toy retailer LoveHoney.co.uk teamed up with Company magazine and picked 20 real women to road-test ten top-rated toys that hit the market in the last year and pick the best of the bunch. Here are the winners (one of which we think is a real loser) and their U.S. equivalents:

We love anything that makes safer sex not only easier, but stylish. After our post last week on the pros and cons of the "safe sex" license (our quotation marks), a reader brought our attention to Mad BJ, an organization founded to help stop the spread of HIV and STDs by offering funky safer sex kits under the name "Ready two Go." Each kit comes with a tin for safe storage and easy toting, one or two Lifestyles condoms, a little container of lube, and an STD information card (it's got "how to put on a condom," CDC numbers, a few statistics with a referral back to the website for more info and legal disclaimers--all in both English and Spanish). There's a whole slew of different style tins to choose from, all pretty cool-looking, some without the brand "Mad BJ" on it (thank god), and some special editions designed by artists like Ramones drummer Marky Ramone. And the best part: while they often work with organizations, you can buy your own kit online for less than five bucks! Refresher packs of kit materials (six condoms, lube packs and cards) are also available for around $7.00.

We've never been able to decide which is the ultimate lady-boner-killer: pleated khakis or goatees. But having spent a little time at GoateeSaver.com, we think we have a winner. We were convinced at first that the site had to be a spoof, but on digging further, we actually think this product is for sale. For reals. The only thing crazier than attempting to get laid in 2008 while sporting a goatee is using this device to trim said goatee. It's kind of like a home acid-washed-jeans kit: a handy way of creating something that's totally out of style and cheesy. It looks like something Hannibal Lecter might make his gimp wear. In fact, if we were snooping in a guy's bathroom cabinet, we think we'd rather find a gimp mask than a Goatee Saver.

See, we always thought that the whole point of a sex toy was that you didn't have to give it directions. So a voice-activated Rabbit sounds like our ultimate nightmare--especially given how unreliable voice-activated products can be. You know how annoying it is when you get stuck in a phone tree because the automated operator can't understand you? Now imagine that happening in the middle of a self-love sesh. If we were being generous, we'd mention the possibility that talking to your vibrator might give you the confidence to vocalize your wants and needs with a human partner. But the thing is made from PVC, which just ruins the whole thing for us. Yeah, we'll stick with a manual control pad, thanks.
