So, I just bought a saxophone, and it came with some generic nameless reed. I need to buy some decent ones, but have no idea what to get.
Any reccomendations??

I recommend Rico ones. Not sure how much they are though (I don't get new reeds very often).

The isn't really a question anyone can answer easily. I'd strongly recommend going to a local music shop and buying a load of different sizes and makes. Find a strength (if you're new to playing it will most likely be a low strength) and try and get similar strengths of different files and brands of reed. You'll find a big difference between different reeds but only you can really decide whats right for you.
Personally I swear by La Voz reeds for my Alto, but I like Rico Jazz Select for my Tenor.

I reckon if you're first starting you want 1 and a half size reeds, maybe 2...rico are decent

Quick sex question!
So, I just bought a new dildo, and it came with some generic nameless lube. I need to buy some decent ones, but have no idea what to get.
Any reccomendations??
