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.
While I can’t vouch for the in person details, sex toys were a hyperfixation for me because I was going to open a sex shop myself. My findings were that around 86% of full silicon egg vibrators use comparable motors. So when the shop owner said it won’t bring you to orgasm, that’s scam language. They were looking for the upsell.
Now, like someone else said, good reciever is the make or break here, a lot of the remote only models we tested just had a single wire loop for an antenna, which is not reliable and prone to breaking in use. If you’re planning for anything other than personal use in a bedroom setting, look for Bluetooth compatibility.
Lastly, some other things to consider are charging style and battery life. Battery life is an obvious, if you take longer you’re going to be pretty peeved if it dies. As for chargers, I found that bare contacts will corode over time and models with rubber caps that cover a USB mini are worthless. Possibly the best option I’ve seen across the board was using 1.5mm mono audio jack that pushed through a raised silicone nipple. The seal was reliable at 2.5m water depth (deepest pool we could find locally), the cord itself was durable and easily sourced if you needed a new one, and the interface was waterproof enough that my test subject could charge it during use.
All of this is to say, price isn’t really a good tell. You’re better off looking for something that’s well reviewed and fits your needs.
all of the eggs I linked have a tail. Do you know how flexible is this part? Can it be bent 180 degrees?
The vast majority I worked with could be flexed a full 180 but had a preference to a specific angle based on either how they were packaged or moulded. We did have a few with cheaper antennas break internally with repeated flexing and tugging, those were all remote only.
In practice we found that that tails moulded into a tight C shape made them easier to wear under clothes as straighter J shaped designs would make an obvious bulge in tight clothes and shift around more freely during movement.
