Running out of space
Ok internets, help us out.
As we continue to review products and more wonderful suppliers feel inclined to send us products…we are running out of space. If you’ve been following us on Twitter or Facebook, you’ll notice that we’ve been keeping our toys in nightstand drawer.
Look how our too-small drawer is now exploding with sexiness.
This is where you come in, dear readers, in the form of suggestions or (if you really love us and our drawer) gifts.
So what do we do with our veritable landslide of pleasure products? We are aware that products exist specifically for this purpose, but we can’t afford them.
P.S.
We don’t really store our toys like this because it is bad for them. Cramming your toys together can damage the softer, nicer ones by placing permanent dents in them. There is also a school of thought that storing silicone toys together will deteriorate them over time.
UPDATE – Tunti has graciously agreed to help us solve our storage problems and will be sending us a case for review. Thanks, Ilse!
Toolboxes work very well, and they’re under $10 (depending on what you get, of course). There are little compartments for everything!
I did a review on mine a while back.

I’m an art student so I definitely have an unhealthy love of tool boxes, but we’re hoping for something that will fit under the bed because space is so limited in our apartment. Although, your video was charming enough that my penchant for tool boxes is leading me to want one now. For any reason at all.
Also, nice Charizard shirt. (Joseph wanted me to mention that… I didn’t know what it was until he told me. I thought it was a band maybe.)

Well, one thing you could do is take the Fun Wand out of its box.
I must be weird, because I don’t tend to keep any of my toys in their boxes. As pretty as they are, it takes up too much space in the long run.
Ha. Caught being a dork red handed.
Mostly I just haven’t found a pouch to replace the task of the box, and I’m wary of letting it just slide around in the drawer.
The boxes are nice, right? Like little sex toy coffins. Except they’re not really dead. They’re vampire sex toys! No wonder they’re so hot…

Train cases are good, so are tackleboxes and toolboxes that were already mentioned. Maybe you could contact some toy storage companies and offer to review a case for them? They may agree and send you a case for free!

And For Your Nymphomstion, which you already mentioned.
Done!
We have an under bed storage box from Ikea (Dillling $14.99 http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90027811). It’s big, but we can put mini organizers within (Komplement $9.99 http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90050590). The main box is also large enough to hold longer objects like a crop, cane or spreader bar, should you have/acquire them in the future.
It’s not ideal, because you do have to slide the box out in the heat of things, unless you’ve already made your selections in advance. And, unless your bed it quite high off the ground, the box will be too tall. (Though they have other styles that are shorter, they are more expensive and don’t hold as much.) In our case, we will need something lockable very soon, and this is not.
But $25 for a sizable storage system is not a bad stop gap. Hopefully you’ll be gifted a case from FYN (put a banner in your sidebar, or a wish list link) or perhaps Vera will be kind enough to send one to you to review.
Thanks for the suggestion! We will definitely be acquiring a crop, spreader bar, and the like (oh yes, yes we will) and it seems like those are the toys that will be especially difficult to put away.

I too am guilty of keeping everything in the original box. It’s just not sustainable and I’m going to have to stop soon…
Yes, I think we’re going to have to say goodbye to our boxes soon.
Lucky!
Yep!
