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.

    In one particular case, my ~55kg tester hung one of the sturdier models from a pull up bar and picked herself up with it.

    and it didn’t break I’m assuming (surprising if true). Did it work afterwards?

    if this corded model is completely coated in silicone with only superficial seams and is waterproof, my next question is about batteries:

    I own an older vibrator powered by 4 AAA retrievable batteries, which is very convenient, because if the batteries stop charging after 3 years of use, all I need to do is change the batteries for the device to work again.

    This corded vibrator seems to have a built in battery I cannot change when it dies (and it will die, like any other battery, even li-ion ones).

    If I cannot easily change the battery inside this toy, suddenly it doesn’t seem a good choice, but this would also apply to the c-shaped models we mentioned earlier and most vibrators made nowadays.

    Buying a toy I’ll have to replace after 3 years is a losing proposition.

    Your take?

      It did! Turns out on dissection that they used a braided steel cable to reinforce the cord. Had endless laughs about how over engineered that one was.

      So that is the big shortfall to a lot of these toys, it’s basically a planned obsolescence. That said, we’ve found through research that regular usage and charging practices as well as proper storage can lead to 5-8 year battery reliability. Unlike phones, all of these toys are simple circuits and reliably gentle on batteries.

      On top of that, if you’re a diy fan you could easily repair then yourself. After disassembly you can reseal the silicone with more body safe silicone that can be purchased in most adult stores in person or online listed under “clone-a-willy” or some variation of. This can also be used to specially modify toys or create them from scratch.
