Ha! I agree dv8. It's a minor thing to be disappointed about, but when it comes to sex toys I'd even feel better getting something with a zip-lock like Pete's Princess.

I understand if the Eden brand is their "house brand" of vibe, in which case they probably only sell them via the site and don't want the extra cost of boxing all their toys...but throwing it in a clear crinkly bag with no seal just makes me nervous. Sometimes packages get shredded and if the contents slipped out, something gross could get on the toy. We all know how silicone is pretty much a dust magnet. Don't wanna think about what would happen if it hit the ground.

And yes, the lack of instructions also caught me off guard. The vibe I got didn't have a clear opening for the charger (hence the waterproof rating). I had to cautiously insert the end of the charge into the small circle at the end of the vibe and hope I wasn't ripping an opening into the toy where it looked like the charger should go. Instructions explaining this plus any warnings on toy use would be nice.

Thank you all for your helpful feedback. I'm going to email Eden and ask whether my bag should have been sealed at all like Pete's.

I won't be buying a Hitachi from this site knowing they remove it from its box just to ship it. That would put me off so much opening the envelope to just find it there with no packing...

And after emailing them explaining this, I'm not sure if I'll be buying anything if it's just going to be removed from the box and thrown into a bag. How many people touch it in this process? less

I'm willing to wager that they had a bunch of items made in bulk. They probably saved money doing that. Just cutting expenses. Might have been a good idea if they typed up some instructions and sent with the items.

I think the quality would be similar to "Knock Offs." There are plenty of factories that produce originals and knock offs. Or the cost cutting also involved ordering from a factory that does not have good quality control.

Unfortunately companies selling poor quality items will just lose business.

We also will stick to name brand products. Nobody has money to throw away.
Well, take that back, the fellow from San Francisco hiding money does.

Our "Hitachi Style Wand" still does not work. And I can not get the darn thing open. I was hoping it just the rechargeable batteries.

It's okay though, because we are getting the Stronic Drei in a few days ! less

I just received my order of an Eden waterproof vibe and while I'm happy with what it feels like in my hands so far, I was surprised to see it didn't have much packaging.

Is it normal for Eden toys to come in a plastic baggie that isn't even sealed with glue at the end? Also, no instructions at all? I'm a little put off by that and finding a long hair in the black holding pouch that the toy and charger come in.

Hoping to get some feedback to see if this is normal. The product itself seems great (haven't given it the full test yet), but I'm wondering if I'm not the only one that would feel a lot better if their boxless toys were at least glue or heat-sealed inside the plastic.

Thanks all! less
