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.

    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.

      the toy I want to buy sells now for 30 EUR. Original price was 120 EUR, which is a huge discount.

      If this toy is as great as advertised, why are they selling it at a so steep discount? Something’s not right.

      Could I be buying a used toy?

      This model doesn’t have any reviews afaik.
