Online I found this egg for 23 euros. I then visited several sex shops asking for vibrating eggs like that one. On the first one they showed me this one for 130 euros. They insisted is waterproof according to IPX7 and that cheaper models are won’t bring me to orgasm.
Is the second model 6 times better than the first one? I never expected a sex toy to be this expensive.
At another sex shop they offered this which can be bought directly from the manufacturer for 50 euros, but in this sex shop was valued at 90 euros, which is an insane markup.
They also had this one for 130 euros in store.
I don’t know if I should only buy ‘brand’ vibrators or simply trust amazon reviews and buy the cheapest one for 23 euros. Other reviews about the most expensive models over 100 euros indicate some customers are unhappy with the product, considering the price. Neither do I know what brands are reputable ones, if any, because I cannot give back a thing like this if I don’t like it.
Every listed toy is made in China so I don’t get the radical markups.
If you use egg vibrators, are there any brands I should look for?
For vaginal and anal use.
both the Lovense Edge 2 you use and an egg I’m thinking about buying have a non detachable battery built in, meaning when the battery dies you’ll have to buy a new toy or either open it to change the battery, which I’m assuming would be a hassle.
You say you’ve been using this toy for 2 years now. Any problems with the battery so far?
What practices do you follow to maximize battery life?
planned obsolescence even here…
Right? It’s pretty disappointing, the Edge could definitely fit one or two AAA batteries, and you can definitely engineer something to be waterproof and have replaceable batteries. That’s not new tech exactly. The entire Edge 2 (and I assume most toys like it) is coated in silicone, so I don’t think there’s an elegant way of opening it without breaking the silicone. Not sure if there’s many teardowns of these things.
I used to charge the Edge after using it, but after coming back to it with very low charge sometimes I’ve elected to just charge it beforehand. Granted I don’t use it that often, so I really can’t speak for its longevity. When I do use it more frequently it has enough for a really lengthy session, or two more normal ones.
