Where to donate unwanted adult toys?

DH bought me a LoveHoney advent calendar. Were used a few things from it but there's quite a bit we won't use (restraints, blindfold, massage oil, etc). Any clever ideas how to pass these on? I thought about a charity shop (would they accept?) and our local Facebook Reuse group (it's a small well to do place and I fear I'll get a reputation, though I know that's daft). Any other methods I can try?

The bin.

RytonTarget · 16/04/2024 14:06

Unless factory sealed I don't suppose anyone would be able to take them, so best to either use or bin.

Secret santa gift? 😎

Leave them in a local dogging spot?

😂 Yes!

I may ask friends if they wanted them or offer them for stag/hen do's but definitely wouldn't give them to charity as I doubt they'd be able to put them in the shop.

Put them in your suitcase, fly to Dubai and they will get confiscated on arrival. Job done.

Certainly don't post it on Facebook, all you will get is ribald comments 🤣

I dont think there is anywhere which will accept second hand sex toys.

I know you haven't used them, but, in fairness, how does anyone know that.
I wouldn't use sex toys I picked up in a charity shop/Facebook.

Like others have said, either bin them, or keep them for a stag/hen do.

Snowonthepeach · 16/04/2024 14:13

I would (selectively) offer them around my friends.

Arabels · 16/04/2024 14:13

Wasn’t there a charity shop somewhere that had to specifically ask people to stop bringing in preloved sex toys…Brighton maybe

Iamtheoneinten · 16/04/2024 14:16

Well, that's enough Mumsnet for me today.

mambojambodothetango · 16/04/2024 14:17

To clarify, it's not dildos or vibrators (we're keeping those!). Position cards, dice, blindfold, candle, oil, balm, wrist and ankle restraints... nothing that goes in or on an intimate area! Looks like I'll have to throw them. Not sure any friends will want them.

eBay them. They'll sell.

HDready · 16/04/2024 16:13

EBay or vinted surely?

Make a little hen party pack, and stick it on eBay for a few quid. Somebody will nab them for party bags, shudder.

Slightly off topic

A few years ago Love Honey had a toy amnesty and you could send old toys back

I hope to god they were just binned and some poor soul in the post room did not have to open the parcels

PuppetQueen · 16/04/2024 16:31

I'm sure there would be a market for this sort of thing on Ebay...I mean, there are buyers who insist on used shoes, the sweatier the better, so I'd have thought they'd be beside themselves with excitement at the prospect of some adult toys that somebody else had possibly enjoyed beforehand! Seems a pity to waste them!

Or failing that, put in a box for the charity shop, cover with some nondescript old clothes, books etc and take to a charity shop far, far away.

The bin. Who on earth would want to take on second hand sex toys?🙄

Seriously? They fish them out the cases?

They aren't really sex toys, more unopened packs of cards, oils etc.
