collar shopping
When shopping for a BDSM collar, should I try my luck with sellers on etsy and other online stores, or should I just wait until I can go to a store in person to try one on? I'm worried I might get something that doesn't fit and be stuck because some of these shops don't offer returns

Re: collar shopping
Sounds like something that's completely up to you!
There is some degree of risk that you'll end up with something you didn't want, but if your desire to buy it outweighs the risk is something only you can say.
Looking at reviews or contacting the sellers can also often be a good idea... they might be able to give you guidance on how to provide them with the right safety-conscious measurements for whatever you buy.
I'd also mention it is probably good to make sure any safety features you'd expect are included, I know some will include velcro release.
