I think Girly Juice is spot on. The example of the Wahl is a good one, as well as the poor performance of the Tiani. In our case, we have the Tiani II.

Let me say that the original post is also for the most part wrong. The manufacturing of a luxury toy usually means a great deal of study has been employed to achieve the maximum pleasure. Not all are successful, but you at least have a greater probability. Inherent with a luxury toy is usually the quality of materials, such as silicone or type of rechargable battery, like lithium. Also, like Girly Juice, we have the Eroscillator. It is quite a few years old, but it works like new. And, it remains my wife's favorite.

The difficulty is that each person is different in how they may respond to a toy. A person who loves the Hitachi may find no satisfaction in using the Eroscillator. The opposite is true as well.

Affordability, should also be part of the equation. Personally, we can afford mistakes trying out new toys. We have an armoire full of expensive mistakes. So, if money is an issue, I would recommend less expensive exploration of quality toys. Also, I would suggest reading all the reviews and discussions of any toy which might peak your interest. A place to begin might be the We-Vibe Salsa or Tango, on sale or with points. We have these and they are excellent quality. Additionally, I use them to replace other toys which use bullets. It so improves them.

Oh! I strongly suggest if you have a partner, to have a discussion before you make a purchase. This causes less blame to occur, and more anticipation and excitement in exploring together. Nothing worse than buying what you think is perfect, only to have it rejected. I speak from experience.
