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…
we’ve found through research that regular usage and charging practices as well as proper storage can lead to 5-8 year battery reliability.
so what practices do I need to follow?
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?
more questions about the corded, double egg vibrator and c-shaped vibrators like this one
I’ve only seen online pictures, but it seems the c shaped toys are completely enclosed in a silicone coating, with no fissures whereas the corded one has visible lines where the different parts assembly as in the picture attached, next to the bullets.
Isn’t that dangerous and unhygienic? The c-shaped toy seems a more hygienic alternative.
Intended use is vaginal and anal. This toy doesn’t have a base but it’s long, so I can simply pull the cord, or will it break?
The Edge 2, and I presume their other vibrators, have a proprietary charging connection. It’s essentially just two metal contacts and a cable with a relatively weak magnet attached
I see it, 2 unprotected metal contacts. No corrosion so far? No charging problems due to defective contact?
The nice thing about silicone dildos is that you can basically just boil them for a deep clean, but I’d this for electronic ones, waterproof or not.
I don’t know if you’re telling me to boil silicone toys with electronics and motors inside of them or not to boil them.
hi, I’ve got more questions:
Some of the brands I checked sell g-spot vibrators and p-spot vibrators as well. Is the silicone used in anal toys different than the one used for vaginal toys? I was thinking about what others said about disinfecting anal toys thoroughly.
What do you think about this toy? Because it’s long and flexible I can insert it as deep as I want but it’s not rigid so it may not press against my g spot like the c shaped egg vibrators we mentioned. This particular model has a 1.5mm mono audio jack but no raised silicone nipple to charge.
all of the eggs I linked have a tail. Do you know how flexible is this part? Can it be bent 180 degrees?

this model 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.
