Shiny vs Matte

[Djballbounce]

I'm looking to by an inflatable on Inflatable World and have the option of Shiny or Matte, and I can't decide. Which one do you prefer and why?

[O'Dragon]

I would say it’s a matter of taste.
I started with matte but switched to shiny later.
I like it more. The inflatables sparkle a little depending on the light and reflect the surroundings a little.

Shiny, transparent and overinflated

Shiny! I like the way light reflects off of them

Definitely shiny

Also for me shiny, whenever available.
The shiny ones are so shiny. I love it

I love the look and squeakiness of shiny vinyl but I love the feel of matte vinyl.

For me… shiny for the look and matte for the softness feel

Are the matte toys really better for the softness feel? I'm just asking because my last two IW rings (pink transparent and black shiny) are soft and it's very good feeling to lay on them...

I love the sound of skin sliding over tight vinyl, and shiny is always better for this because skin sticks until it slips, and that makes a boomy noise that I love. Matt doesn't bind on the skin as well.
