I have a few luxury vibes and no, price is NOT what you go buy. Not me anyways, ever. This is because I've bought very expensive "luxury" vibrators that well, to just be honest, sucked ass. For instance, Zini Deux. Worst luxury vibe ever! Great concept, cheap design, cheaper vibrations, hard material = useless. Even if the company would've spent a wee-bit more on the material and made it squishy silicone, that'd have made a huge difference, but they went the cheap route. In reality, Deux is a $40 quality vibrator, and I would not even pay that.

Now, I have had luxury vibrators that were worth it. For instance Vitality. That is the absolute best vibrator that I've had ever laid... cooter on? LOL. Seriously. I am actually even convinced that it does not get any better than that vibrator, and probably others from the line, but most of them were too large for me to use internally.

I love Vitality so much! I even used it tonight on our mini road trip and guess what? That sucker has been charged ONE time, which was when I first got it and I've used it so many times that I couldn't count. I used it for an hour alone tonight. From the time we left in the vehicle to the time we pulled into the driveway, and even about 3 minutes after we pulled in. It's the best vibrations I have ever felt. No toy gets me off quicker than Vitality. It's also best in terms of charge. Noa is a luxury vibrator and it will totally die on me in 25 minutes. Vitality has hours and hours before that ever happens.

I have some advice: if you have any specific preferences at all when it comes to toys, never rely on price tag. When they're categorized as "luxury" never assume they really are. Be careful.

For some reason, I see people who "love" every single luxury toy they get and review. They claim every luxury toy they own is "the best." I can't get much use out of reviews like that. I am a little more.. objective. Also, I am going to be picky if I'm spending more than $70 on it. I'm going to expect it to get me off and good!

Back to Noa. I love and hate that toy. It's beautiful. The silicone is the best I've used, even slightly better than Vitality. The toy is perfectly soft, flexible -- the design is just perfection for my body. But the vibrations and shitty battery life makes it not worth any more than $40 bucks to me. I hated that. So no, price tag does not mean better.

Oh thanks for this response. I'm already fairly picky on where and how I spend my money, so this extra information on luxury vibrators really helps me.

The "luxury" title did make me think that all must be good, but at the end of the day it's just a title.
12/15/2012
Contributor: js250 js250
Bottom line--it is the same as the cheaper vibes. Some will be amazing and will work for you---some you will wish you never laid eyes on.

Luxury is more in the material, motor and rechargeability. You have a one year warranty, cheaper ones you do not have any. (Eden does give you 60 days to return a defective item though!)

Luxury items also tend to have more creative and absolutely gorgeous and practical packaging. A bonus if you love the item--does not matter how pretty or functional if you hate it.

I have quite a few of them and have to admit the motor life is usually much greater than the cheaper. It is also nice not to have to rotate stores for $50-75 worth of batteries every week!

I don't own a luxury vibe yet, but I have a few high-end dildos. I've got the Pure Wand and Fun Factory's Share.

I'm saving up to get the Ina 2, but I think that's the only luxury vibe on my list. The rest are dildos.

I wait till it's on sale and has free shipping. I sometimes wait till I can get multiple deals at the same time and just build a dream cart of shopping heaven. Like when the Facebook specials are something I want, you can bundle that plus the free item that comes with every order plus your item on sale plus points. Then it's most likely free shipping by then. Or just do a review on them and get 30% off.

Always on sale. And higher price usually, although not always, means a better toy. I think it's important to evaluate a toy based on its merits before buying it, and the reviews here on Eden help so much. I love it when there is an unexpectedly wonderful inexpensive toy.

I do NOT have a luxury vibrator ... yet. I'm still researching. If I find one I want bad enough I'm not opposed to paying full retail for it. I would prefer sale or some form of discount. Again, if I find one I REALLY want then I will fork over the moolah for it no problem.

I kind of got a few of my recent luxury purchases as a splurge/sale combo and sold it to myself as a birthday gift to me and my girlfriend as we both had birthdays last month. If I do it for xmas, definitely won't be a gift I wrap and give her when we're celebrating with family

Contributor: MrClark MrClark
I'm more likely to buy a toy I've had my eye on when it's on sale; however, there are some that looked so interesting when I saw it that I bought at full price since I didn't want to wait for a sale to try it.

But regardless, I'll always look for coupon codes, hidden sales even if one isn't published as better to save money on a purchase regardless of what it is if you can.

I would say the price does throw it up in the luxury bracket. I know that there are a lot of expensive vibes out there that aren't really high quality (and they should be destroyed by sledge hammer) I really hate the one that I have)), and they shouldn't be in the running with the higher priced, high quality ones. I think that higher than $60 throws it up in the lower end of the luxury bracket. From there all types of variables come into play. The material, the design, the company, the longevity, the list goes on. I think it essentially starts with the price, though.

Quality, materials, design and price are the main ones.

They just live up to more wear and tear and use than other vibrators. Plus, many times with luxury toys you get a really warranty.

Function and material is what makes luxury in my book.

No. If you read reviews and the materials they are made of you can still find luxury and pleasure at a decent price. But you get what you pay for most of the time. I purchased a pricey vibrator that do nothing for me and would prefer my cheaper ones before it . But I have a really pricey one that is my best friend. But it really depends on the person and how your body reacts to different size,texture and vibration. It's just different strokes for different folks.

I think it's the features that make it a luxury O.o

Materials and design (motor placement, programming, etc.)
Materials are usually noticeably better... like the difference between my cheap silicone toys and my luxury ones (like Lelo toys) are night/day. You pick the toy up and you immediately expect more from it just by the material it's made of. Now this might lead to higher expectations that the toy can't live up to; however, it might be like getting a fancy wine bottle and putting cheap wine in it... has a placebo effect making you enjoy the toy more.

Related to materials the construction is key. Doesn't matter if it has amazing quality materials if they fall apart quickly. But I've found that most luxury toy makers do a great job + tend to back up their toys with warranties. Like Lelo has a 1 year warranty + if it breaks in 10 years they'll give you 50% off a new toy. Backing your toy with this kind of behavior makes spending the money an investment more than a risk since you can expect it to work for a while.

Then I agree the design of luxury toys usually actually puts more thought into the design of the toy than some cheaper toys; however, this isn't always the case. Sometimes toy companies have luxury lines where designs trickle down into cheaper versions over time. But the design usually does a better job taking internal/external body geometry into account with the design. I've had an inexpensive p-spot toy hit all the wrong spots as it didn't seem to be designed for my geometry or have much flexibility in the geometries it worked for.

Also where they put vibrator motors, how the vibrator is powered, etc seems to vary a lot but though I think in a lot of cases this is more successful w/ luxury toys, less expensive toys succeed at this too. I have seen recently that rechargeable long lasting vibrating toys tend to be far pricier and in a lot of cases you are paying for the battery technology more than the toy. But as some reviews of less expensive rechargeable vibrators I've read recently seem to indicate... the cheaper toys might overheat with the draw on the battery these toys put if they aren't well designed. So far none of these problems with the "luxury" toys I've gotten.

Sometimes you don't get what you pay for but when you do it's worth it. Mind you I always seek out coupon codes, sales, etc as better to save money than not, especially when spending so much on a toy that might not pan out.

I buy luxury vibes on sale. What makes them 'luxury' is the quality. Price really has nothing to do with it. The material that is used, the structure and durability of the toy, and the things that make it unique are what makes a toy 'luxury' to me.
