Luxx wrote:Yeah, all of this is true. Even if BD shrugs off responsibility for people pushing themselves past their limits with toys (which they shouldn't, ethically), they're obliged to give accurate information for an expensive product when size differences can be a matter of $30 between say a small and a medium. It's definitely $30 between a medium and large Blaze like this example. With that in mind, misrepresentation of toys as smaller than they are, which seems to be mostly if not always the case here, seems like it has financial benefits, whether intentional or not.
Most people don't measure their toys, I don't think. Most people, especially people new to toying, can't easily interpret a toy compared to a generic can either, though it's more helpful than nonsensical "average" measurements. Plenty of sex toy companies can't measure beyond Bad Dragon, but it's not usually a consistent policy.
I never get less long-winded, it seems...Idra wrote:I can see where if someone is torn between two sizes, making the bigger sizes seem smaller could lead someone to purchase the bigger of the two and benefit BD in the short term.
For me, though... for example, Small Sleip is listed as 6.5" when it's really more like 7.25". At the time I bought Sleip, I generally preferred my toys to be 7.25"-7.75". That meant no Sleips were the right size for me. If BD had represented their product accurately, I would have bought Sleip much earlier than I did. I found out from the forums, BC I was complaining about Sleip not being in my range and someone volunteered the information. How many people are there like me who are not on the forums, and who didn't purchase at all because BD didn't provide accurate measurements?
Like I said, there are people who might opt for the larger size if they fall between two, and end up spending more for something they can't use. But I'm sure there's also people like me, so it's completely nonsensical to me for BD to give misleading measurements. How does it make sense for BD to BOTH anger customers who spent more for a toy that's too big AND lose sales by giving the impression that the toys are too small when they actually aren't?
I also agree that most people don't measure their toys unless something seems really off. I didn't measure until others asked, personally. I ordered Meng as a Small Toy in my first order, after reading that it was 5.5". My most used toy was a 4.75" ABS plastic vibe so I didn't think it would be unmanageable. When Meng showed up & looked big, I figured -- well, it is bigger than my vibe. Lo and behold, it's actually 6.75" at the base. Over an INCH bigger! And... I'd just shoved it in. Luckily for me, I actually could take 6.75", but... Meng was useless as a Small Toy AND if I hadn't been able to take 6.75", I could easily have hurt myself. Is that my fault for using Meng without measuring? Maybe. But BD needs to let people know, too.
Sorry for the wall o' text again everyone

I mean, I also have a lot of friends who prefer more average sized toys who will not shop here at all because they know they can't trust the measurements, and even a mini can turn out to be bigger than advertised. I wasn't meaning to actually suggest it's a business decision, more a bit of weirdness that could result in selling more large and more expensive toys coincidentally.

Medium Fenrir largest knot circumference 7". Small Fenrir 6". lovelyscales wrote:QueenCheetah93 wrote:Does anyone have a small or medium Fenrir and could give me an accurate measurement of the knots?

I have both now so here's the measurements

Seeing the real measurements on toys that I own is making me understand why I struggle with them. I like all of my toys a lot and don't mind them being a bit too big, but this could seriously hurt someone 
Now I'm worried about the medium Ridley that is coming in and if the size will be too much for me.

Has anyone contacted CS about this?
KinkyVampire69 wrote:Hey. I know these measurements might actually be accruate but I just want to make sure.. What does the thickest part of a mini Clayton measure up to?
Oh, and the knot on mini Austin? Still contemplating on that one also because im worried I may not get alot from the shaft itself.
