So, is it really necessary to spend that much on a vibrator? If you’re looking to get the most bang for your buck and make a statement about how important your pleasure is, we would say yes. The caveat to this is that there are more than a few brands out there whose prices don’t match their product quality. When you come across a site or in-person shop that feels salesy or sleazy, it can be a tip that they’re not as committed to making sure you get a really great product you’ll be satisfied with. Make sure the brand or company you’re buying from has a transparent mission and experience you feel comfortable with.
Safer materials
Body-safe silicone: This one can be tricky because there isn’t any regulation of sex toy materials globally so you’re never quite sure what you’re getting. Any company or brand can slap body-safe silicone on the label and call it a day, so you want to be sure you do your research on the brands you are buying from. Send them a DM, email or read their FAQs page for more in-depth info about the silicone they are using. At flossy, we simply avoid brands that don’t use materials that are actually 100% body-safe.
Better features
When you buy a more expensive sex toy, you’re typically getting better quality materials in the product. A more expensive vibrator will have a longer battery life and deeper vibrations than a cheaper one. A more expensive vibrator usually has waterproof mechanisms to protect its motor and wiring from water damage.
Warranties
If you’re looking for quality, buying a more expensive product can be a good choice. A cheap product will often not last long and could even be made with harmful materials. A high-quality product that is likely to last for years if you are caring for it properly (i.e. cleaning well and storing correctly) is a much better option than buying several products that don’t last over time. And even if it isn’t in tip-top shape at the three-year mark, you can still send it in to be replaced! In our experience, while highly unlikely, most defective vibrators will show signs of wear within the first few uses—and all products we stock are covered for at least up to twelve months with a full replacement.
