Re: "Honestly, I’d plan toys for Black Friday and..." - i am actually dealing with the exact same frustration right now. For the last few months, i have been trying to build my own comparison spreadsheet for the upcoming 2025 sales but i still cant find any reliable information or leaks anywhere. It is so stressful trying to be cautious and plan a safe, budget-conscious order when there is zero transparency this far out. Honestly, it feels like i am just spinning my wheels because i really dont want to mess up a large purchase but the lack of data is making me so anxious. Making the right decision is a huge priority for me and the uncertainty is making it hard to feel confident in my planning.

Hey, I’ve done way too many Adam & Eve BF/CM orders over the years, lol. Quick background: they *almost always* run sitewide % off plus freebies, but the exact mix shifts.

From what I’ve seen:
- Toys usually get the better deals than lingerie (sometimes lingerie is excluded from the biggest % or has weaker markdowns).
- Black Friday tends to have the stronger sitewide code (like 50–60% off 1 item + extras), while Cyber Monday leans more toward bundles, BOGO, or extra freebies.

Why it matters: if you’re planning a **bigger toy order**, I’d personally wait for the Black Friday code, check the fine print (some brands are excluded), then compare it to Cyber Monday before hitting pay. I always:

1. Make a wishlist ahead of time.
2. Check both days’ banners + email codes (they sometimes differ).
3. Do a quick price compare vs regular sale prices so I’m sure it’s actually a deal.

If your cart is mostly lingerie, the savings are usually just “decent”, not amazing. For toys, BF has been worth it for me.

Hope this helps! Keep an eye on their emails and maybe sign up a week before – that’s where I’ve gotten the best codes in the past.

Honestly, I’d plan toys for Black Friday and lingerie for Cyber Monday—historically BF has stronger high-ticket toy % off, while CM leans better stackable codes/freebies; run a cart both days and compare before you checkout.

Hey, budget nerd here who’s done way too many A&E orders over the last ~6–7 Black Fridays 😅

Here’s how I’d look at it from a cost/value angle, based on patterns I’ve seen:

**Option A: Buy everything on Black Friday**
**Pros:** Usually the biggest *headline* % off (like 40–50% one item or solid sitewide), good for 1–2 high-ticket toys.
**Cons:** The “one item” thing can kill value if your cart has lots of mid-priced stuff; freebies can be meh.

**Option B: Split between Black Friday & Cyber Monday**
**Pros:** In my experience, BF = better for big toys, CM = better for stacking smaller items, lingerie, and clearance. You can optimize each day: use BF for your priciest toy, CM for add‑ons and outfits.
**Cons:** Two shipping windows, and you need to watch codes closely.

**Option C: Wait for random pre‑/post‑BF promos**
**Pros:** Sometimes the “early access” or “extended” sales end up almost as good, especially if they do free shipping + a moderate % off. Less pressure.
**Cons:** You might miss the absolute best toy discount.

If you’re cost‑conscious, I’d:
1) Build a “must-have” list (1–2 expensive toys) and a “nice-to-have” list (lingerie, lube, cheaper toys).
2) On BF, test codes on the expensive stuff only and screenshot totals.
3) On CM, rebuild the cart with all the smaller items and see if a different code/freebie combo beats BF on total value.

I’m usually happiest when I split orders (Option B). The overall spend feels lower because I’m maximizing the % off where it matters most instead of chasing one flashy code.

Hope this helps you plan without overpaying!

Hey, safety-obsessed shopper here 😅

If you’re planning a *bigger* Adam & Eve order, I’d honestly plan your BF/CM strategy around product safety and reliability first, discounts second.

Here’s how I’d look at it:

**1. Prioritize body-safe toys over the biggest % off**
A&E will definitely run tempting toy codes, but not every toy is equal. On Black Friday especially, they push a lot of lower-cost house-brand items that aren’t always listed as medical-grade silicone or clearly phthalate‑free. I’d:
- Filter for **silicone, ABS plastic, stainless steel** and explicitly “phthalate-free” in the description.
- Avoid “jelly,” “TPE,” or anything vague like “soft, realistic material” if they don’t specify composition.

**2. Use BF/CM to upgrade to higher-quality brands**
From what I’ve seen in past years, the *best* use of their discounts is actually on reputable brands (We‑Vibe, Lelo, Womanizer, etc.) when they allow the code on those. Even if it’s 40% off vs 50% off some random toy, the long‑term reliability and safer materials are way better. I’ve done this the last few years and I’m happy with everything I kept.

**3. Lingerie vs toys – safety angle**
For lingerie, I’m less worried about composition and more about:
- Return policy (BF sometimes has stricter fine print).
- Sizing reliability (read reviews – “runs small,” etc.).
So if a code is non-returnable on sale items, I’d be more cautious stacking a huge lingerie order than a few carefully chosen toys from solid brands.

**4. Watch for these before you hit checkout**
- **Battery/charging safety:** Stick to toys with CE/UL marking on charger and clear instructions.
- **Lube compatibility:** If you’re grabbing silicone toys, avoid throwing in a silicone lube “just because it’s on sale.” Get water‑based instead.
- **Cleaning:** Make sure what you buy can be properly sanitized (non‑porous toys are your friend, especially if you share toys or switch orifices).

**5. BF vs CM from a safety-focused angle**
Black Friday: better for upgrading to one or two “forever” toys from reputable brands at a decent % off.
Cyber Monday: sometimes better for smaller add‑ons, lubes, and storage/cleaning products when freebies/stacking kick in.

If it were me:
- Build two carts in advance: one with **high-end, clearly body-safe toys**, one with lingerie/add-ons.
- Run both carts through the BF and CM codes, **but don’t let an extra 10% push you toward questionable materials** or random cheap toys.

So yeah, watch the usual BF/CM codes, but read the material specs and reviews like a hawk. The best “deal” is still the toy that’s body-safe, reliable, and won’t end up in the trash or irritate your skin.

Hope this helps you plan without sacrificing safety. 🙂

Hey, from more of a market-nerd angle, I’d plan your A&E BF/CM buys based on how they position themselves vs competitors.

In my experience:
- **Adam & Eve vs Lovehoney / SheVibe**: A&E leans hard on “% off + freebies” and catchy codes, while Lovehoney/SheVibe more often run cleaner sitewide % discounts (sometimes better base pricing on the same brands). So if you’re buying **big-name toys** (We-Vibe, LELO, Womanizer, etc.), it’s worth checking all three on BF *and* CM – sometimes A&E’s headline % looks great but the others end up cheaper after you do the math.
- **House-brand toys & lingerie**: A&E’s own stuff tends to get the biggest cuts on BF/CM, while third‑party brands are a bit more modest. If your cart is heavy on A&E house-brand toys/lingerie, their sale usually beats competitors on total value, especially when you factor in freebies.
- **Timing**: Historically (last 3–4 years for me), A&E’s **“best looking” codes** drop around Black Friday weekend, but Cyber Monday is when **competitors** sometimes undercut them with flash codes. So I run parallel carts: A&E, Lovehoney, and one smaller shop (SheVibe or similar) and refresh all on BF and CM.

TL;DR: If you’re brand-flexible and chasing pure value, don’t only watch A&E leaks—compare same items across sites both days. If your cart is mostly A&E house-brand, their own BF/CM deals usually win, and toys tend to get more aggressive discounts than lingerie.

Hope that helps you plan the big haul!
