I've emailed Goldfrau as well, but figured I'd also ask here.After months of resisting temptation, I finally gave in and bought myself a Goldfrau, settling on a Miss Pink classic size.I'm impressed with it, but there are a couple things which surprise me. Firstly, the pattern appears to be a decal (or sticker) which has been lacquered over, as I can see a seam in the light outlining the patterned area perfectly. Also, my pattern is missing a rather sizable 'V' shaped chunk of the pattern, presumably where the ends of the decal do not meet.Is this normal?Also, the ball handle of the Goldfrau is a bit stained. I just tried to wash it off with toy cleaner, and it didn't come off. I haven't tried soap and water yet, but I know the handle is textured and may just be prone to deep, difficult dirt.... less

Hmm...that does seem odd.Have you heard back from them yet? If not, let me know, and I'll try and shoot the owner and email, and direct her to this thread.As far as the handle, so far mine has been ok. When it's been dirty, I've just thrown it in the dishwasher (top shelf, no soap). I *think* you can boil them too, but the booklet said something about not letting it get too hot, so I've avoided that (though come to think of it, my dishwasher is probably the same temp, and I've been fine, so you should be ok). Otherwise, try a 10% bleach solution and see how that helps.I'm so sorry to hear you're so disappointed in it! While I can't speak for the decal, as you're right, I have the all black one, I've been very happy with mine. The woman at Goldfrau seems to be very open to feedback, so I'm glad to hear that you've contacted her.I'm still just a big confused as to a decal on such a nice product... less

A lot of the descriptions seem to be wrong on toys.I know this is a little off topic, but I was going to start a thread, but didn't want to seem really bitchy. Examples:1. My Lacey bullets say right in the description safe for anal play. Me, not knowing any better as I was very new to sex toys, threw a condom over a bullet and popped it into my boyfriend. Thankfully the very educated reviewers on here warned me, and I now know better.2. My partner has a rubber whip being shipped to him for review, and it says in the description "series of thin leather strands on the end". I'm about 99% positive this is all rubber by viewing the pictures. If there is indeed leather, I'll let you guys know.Is there a way to correct the descriptions? I'm not sure who writes them, so therefore I don't know who to contact about inaccuracies (like with the Laceys- that could have ended very badly). less

No problem. I'm just glad we escaped uninjured! So we should message an admin if we find a problem? I'm guessing EF gets a ton of messages as turn around seems to be at least a week. Maybe starting a thread and just keeping a list would be helpful? Let us know! Thanks!! less

Sorry for the delay, been having health issues keeping me away from the computer. Received mine, and it is also a decal--seems to be applied fine, but I can see the decal lines, which is annoying. The handle isn't stained or anything, but it is slightly off-color since it seems to be unglazed, unlike the rest of the dildo. So, yeah, basically, same problem. less

Goldfrau emailed me back --"Hi there from Goldfrau- dont stress- its not a sticker- its a 'food grade' decel which is why it has a special coating on it-so its the same as any other ceramic decel- but even safer. The decel is designed not to meet...its supposed to look like a curtain being drawn back or the slit of a lady's dress...on my website I show that so my customers are aware...when most people know why it was designed like that they think its cool...but if you were expecting something else you might think somethings gone wrong. Let me know if i can help you with anything else, cheers, Judith Glover, Design Director, Goldfrau." less

Here's my now-traditional 3rd-post:My reply:"... Thank you for clearing that up. I thought I was quite well versed in the product (I'd been lusting for it long enough), but I swear I have not seen a picture of its backside anywhere on the 'net. I've been to goldfrau.net as well, and am also currently there right now and I still can't see a picture of it. Just, two sizes of the Miss Pink side by side to demonstrate a difference between Classic and Large. Have I missed it?I was quite surprised when it arrived. The website I bought it from also only showed one side, and the product description didn't really tell me that it was missing as well.link"One of the most beautiful touches is the design: pink art deco scrollwork wraps around most of the shaft, fading elegantly towards the rounded tip." I'm afraid that I had intepreted this to mean that, because the scrollwork faded towards the tip, it was mostly covered. Not that it was missing a backside. This impression was furthered because there are no other photos on edenfantasys or goodvibes....link No mention here, either.I'm not really disgruntled ... The first 1-2 days of ownership, I was a bit baffled since none of the product descriptions I'd encountered really hinted at it, and none of th pictures as well. Now I just want to see if maybe it was totally my fault for missing clearly labled, apparent information, or if maybe this information is slightly less visible than you think...."Her reply to that:" ... I know why you cant find it- the image is in the online shop section. Thanks for the feedback...I can see the confusion it might cause- next time i update the website I will put in some extra images and explanation..hope you enjoy the product- will be doing some new stuff next year- just finishing a thesis on sex toys and the sex toy industry which is diverting alot of energy- so when thats done will be back into new product development...so keep and eye out end of next year. Thanks again for the comments, cheers ..."I always feel like apologizing for multiple posts, it's my nettiquette kicking in gear, even though I know that this forum is more relaxed than most I'm on. :x Sorry for the 3rd post? At least it was relevant information. less
