Lately you keep reading more and more about cheap erotic products failing while you’re using them. Not exactly what you want, especially when you see what can happen if a vibrator breaks off internally and gets stuck. These are risks we don’t really think about, assuming it won’t happen to us.
I’ve been ordering erotic products anonymously for years from various online retailers. Fans will definitely recognise these sites. Recently I came across two cases in the same week where things went wrong while using a vibrator and a dildo. In both cases the women had to go to the hospital to have the “remains” removed. This happened in the Netherlands, and both times it was completely unexpected. Because I really don’t want to end up at the hospital saying, “my dildo broke off, could you please take it out, doctor?”, and because the materials and splinters that are released can be dangerous, I’ve started looking into this topic much more seriously.
A broken dildo or vibrator can have serious consequences. It’s not only embarrassing to tell the story, you also literally have to expose yourself to a doctor. On top of that, parts can be left behind in the vagina, which can be harmful to your internal system. In some cases surgery is even required.
At first you’d think this would never happen in Europe, let alone in the Netherlands. And if a sex toy gets stuck in the vagina or anus, you might assume it must be the user’s fault. Unfortunately, that’s not true, and it happens regularly, including in the Netherlands. The reason: the products aren’t always reliable, and depending on the webshop, the quality can be substandard, with all the associated risks. The cheaper and less well-known erotic webshops in particular offer products from, for example, China that haven’t been tested. This is the common thread I see when reading most of the incidents and articles. People thought they were getting a bargain, or the website looked trustworthy even though there were no reviews. Because of this, I’ve become extra careful before I order or use any sex toy.
As described above, I decided to dig deeper. I’d like to share my experiences here to help reduce the number of incidents. The reason: unpleasant accidents with sex toys happen regularly, and the common thread is that the toy was bought from the wrong erotic webshop. They’re not only cheap, they also don’t meet basic standards, which increases the risk that something will go wrong with the product while you’re using it.
I carefully visited and evaluated loads of erotic websites. I based my assessment on the product range, user reviews, the website itself and, where applicable, my own experiences. If I had any doubts about a product, I did extra research. Below I share my top 10 “Erotic webshops” that meet the following criteria: no negative experiences or reviews about the product itself, at least 50 reviews with a positive rating, the sex toys on offer can be found online at multiple retailers, and the website must be trustworthy, preferably also based on my own experience.
