This toy was definitely designed
The
Silk Touch Egg Vibe by Topco is one of those pretty vibes that is designed with a woman’s tastes in mind. It comes in two attractive colors: lavender and sea foam, and is shaped with a smooth, sleek design. The device features an oval controller that is connected to the honeycomb egg vibe via a curly flexi-cord. The Silk Touch is aptly named as it is coated with a silky material that gives it a sensual feel against the skin.
The day I bought it I couldn’t wait to get my new toy home. It is one of the most powerful vibes I have ever used. For me, that is a priority in a vibrator, as I can’t stand a vibe that merely purrs, or looses its strength during masturbation. I was impressed by its form as well as function.
I used the Silk Touch for clitoral stimulation only. I loved the sensation of silky egg gliding over my skin. The controller features a large round shiny button that turns on with just a slight click. I tried the first setting which is just vibration and was impressed. Even at the lowest setting it was powerful. Below the shiny button is a small scroll dial that allows one to easily adjust the force of the vibration. At the highest setting this vibe is intense. The other settings include a series of pulsations, deep throbs and vibrations in a range of variations. I found the straight vibe was my preference. It didn’t take long for me to have a powerful orgasm, and I knew I was in love with my new toy.
But, this story doesn’t have a happy ending. Within two weeks, my new love started to short out right in the middle of play. It would start out alright, but when I tried to up the vibration, it would stop about half-way up and go dead. I would then restart it, and when I tried to turn it up, it would short out again. This is extremely frustrating when you are just on the edge and ready to orgasm. I changed the batteries, hoping this would fix the problem, but it continued to act up.
Unfortunately, there must be some manufacturer’s defect with this toy causing it to short out. Perhaps it is because it is so powerful, the tiny motor can’t handle it. Needless to say, I am very disappointed in it. I had held such high expectations, and it was (until it broke) one of the best vibes I had ever used and would have rated a five. The egg part is detachable so I am going to try it with another plug-in egg vibe controller. I doubt it will have the same power though. And, so I continue my search for the perfect solo-sex lover. The Silk Touch is not it.
Still broken. I have never heard back if they (the manufacturers) have ever fixed the problem. I still haven't found anything remotely like this toy, so I am still hopeful they will fix the problems with this one, or come out with similar but better design. If anyone knows of a similar item, let me know!
No, I should have. Life is always so busy, so I didn't have time.
After it broke did you contact the manufacturer? Most have a limited time warranty.
Hello Desiree. Thank you for passing this on. I would love to know if it gets fixed because I really enjoyed this toy.
Hi, I am the director of marketing and public relations for Topco Sales...the manufacturer of this vibe.
It is one of my favorites, too and I'm sorry to hear there are problems like this. I am passing all your comments onto our quality control people as we need to find out what the problem is.
That is true. I have had two people come into the sex store where I work and return the same product as well. I think the vibe may be too powerful for the small motor. I have read of this happening to other people as well. It is a shame since I so loved this vibe. Maybe the manufacturers will fix the problem with it. I hope so. Thanks for your comments!
It's too bad this vibe died on you--I also think it's a marvelous egg vibe. So often egg vibes are built on the flimsy slide and don't last very long, unfortunately.
