I have a box of broken ones and no idea how to actually get rid of them. Like, can you throw them out with your normal household waste or what? I’ve got almost 12 years worth of dead or damaged stuff and no idea what to do with them!

Ha, that’s a fun one. Really it depends what they are. Non-electrical items (or battery-powered with no batteries in them)? Unfortunately yes. they do usually land up in landfill. Anything rechargeable should technically be recycled, and in England, you run the risk of a fine if your battery-powered boyfriend should start a waste lorry fire because you threw it in general waste instead. Also, rome recycling firms are just generally finicky. Here in Bristol, for example, I’ve had bags of clothes left, even if they were left folded over but not tied, as requested. Understandably you don’t want your old friend left out looking sad and abandoned, wrapped in plastic and left in a kerbside collection bin. So what to do with them? To be honest, your guess is as good as mine

If they were electric toys, battery operated or rechargeable, they need to go a the small electrical section of your local tip.
You can simply bag them, and dump the bag in the correct skip and go home.
Everything else can be binned. I suppose scrap metal merchant might accept steel toys…… 
Glass toys can be recycled either, they just want glass jar/bottles.

I’m jealous. I have been reading a lot through the forum here since joining a few days ago.
I would love to be open about my dildos and have my partner enjoy them, solo and together etc
I don’t know what to do…

We wouldn’t save very much space if my wife thinned her collection, of ONE, only about the size of a small banana ( same shape too). As far as I know, she does not even use it, sadly, as it wasn’t cheap, and is nicely made. I only have one too, a tiny bullet vibrator that I bought as an experiment years ago. I tossed my stroker a while ago as I found it to be too tight, so that saved a bit of space in my bedside table.

You’re not the first man I’ve heard say strokers are too tight. It amazes me that, even in 2026, sex toy manufacturers are still getting things wrong.
I personally don’t get on with rabbit vibrators. The “ears” do nothing for me and are sometimes even painful.

Seconded. I don’t know who they’re made for but if you have to struggle to get a finger in then your (ie. my ) old dingaling is going to struggle and possibly do himself a mischief.
( I’ve just realised I spend more time fixing typos, spelling, and grammer, and then re-editing even a simple two line message, than I do writing it in the first place. And I’ve just had to edit 3 mistakes in this! )

Well, once yes, many years ago.
She didn’t like the idea of me using them, but I got some anyway 
After a while she threw them away one day when I wasn’t home haha
So since then until now I have been doing it in private.
Never got the courage to tell her.
And for a little while now our marriage hasn’t been great so….yea…fun times

A lack of trust and respect in a marriage is never going to be good for it. My husband knows I masturbate sometimes while he’s at work because I have the higher drive. He doesn’t mind or care, so long as it doesn’t end up replacing him.

I NEED my toys. Although hubby can last a long time now he gets knackered and has to stop. So unless i have had at least three orgasms i need my toys for afters. He watches and kisses and cuddles me while i am using them. But he has to be careful as he sometimes gets head butted if he gets too close during an orgasm or his hand crushed.

The stroker I had was well reviewed, so I thought it would be fine, and it did work, but, maybe I am on the upper end of normal size, so one size fits all might not apply. I did not do a lot of comparison shopping, and it was sold at a local big chain store, not a sex shop or online place.
Maybe in the future I will try a different one, for now my hand works fine.
I (accidentally) kneed hubby in the nuts once. I told him trying to force me to cum was risky business but he didn’t listen

Well, there’salways more roasted potatoes on other plates. I assume he wanted to just refresh your assortment, since the container wouldn’t fit any more additions. Lol 
Reminds me of a time when I was much younger. Much much younger. I found out my new gf, had a dildo. I insisted that, since she had me, she rid of that invasive, distraction . Yes, I was nieve, jealous and low self esteem .
Fast forward many years and relationships later, my OH and I pick them out together.
I even encourage her to play with them. Mostly because its hot watching her. I’m not concerned if she plays without me. I sure masturbate alone too.

More containers. You can sort by function, sizes, colors, etc. Ask for a glass display case for your favorites to display in the bedroom.

I think it’s more because there was a time I was getting quite a few samples for review, so he was like “do you really use all of these?” . And yes, some I was like “touch it and they will never find the body”, and others it was “meh. When are you going to the recycling point next?” lol.
My other partner created “Kinky Fuckery Science”, so that’s kind of become the thing we do now. We choose toys to review together “for science” — Kinky Fuckery Science lol.

I had an ex who nominated me for a Sexual Freedom Award. I was terrified for how I was going to explain having a golden dong with wings on my mantelpiece
