Q is for Quiver
Quiver is a vibrating butt plug. It looks like this:
It’s also the only sex toy on the market that starts with Q. Marketing gurus, take note!
I’m actually pretty surprised there aren’t a ton more sex toys to choose from for the letter Q, given that there are plenty of Q words that relate to sex generally. Here are just a few:
queen
quim
queer
quiff
queef
quickie
quoit
Those are good for upping your Scrabble score quite quickly. You’re welcome.
Another thing I’d like to mention here is the issue of quality when it comes to sex toys. As I noted in my introduction to this series, I’ve been including affiliate links only to products that are sold by Babeland, because they’re one of a few stores that strive to sell only quality toys from manufacturers that they can trust. Babeland has also been in the business since 1993, which feels like forever, so they’ve earned my trust based on longevity as well as their core business ethics.
In case you’ve been wondering about how big an issue toxic and unsafe sex toys really are, here is a great article from Bitch Magazine on the subject. As writer Caitlin Murphy notes, sex toys are not regulated here in the U.S., even though they should technically qualify as something the FDA would monitor, being that most toys are used internally and not as “novelty products” as some are labeled.
Finally, here’s a link to a great list of “Superhero Sex Shops” from sex writer The Redhead Bedhead to help you find an ethical sex toy supplier near you. I would also add Montreal’s Joy Toyz to that list, if you live in Quebec; they’re a woman-owned company that sells online but also offers in-home sex toy parties for those interested in learning more about different types of toys. I’ve been to one of their parties, and it was really fun to get a group of ladies together for some drinks, sex ed and vibrator test drives. Highly recommended!
Have you ever been to a brick-and-mortar sex shop? What was your experience like?
