Broken toy frustration

My wife had a very unlucky case a couple of years ago with the Desire Love Egg Vibrator. If you look at the photos of it you can see the “tail” of the egg is where it unscrews to open up the charging port.

Well, my wife and I were testing it out in the bedroom and when she came to pull it out, the silicone tail completely detached and left the rest of the egg up there!

It wasn’t user error. It wasn’t like it just wasn’t screwed on properly. The silicone tail came unglued from the plastic screw cap of the egg.

Needless to say, were were both in a panic, and spent what felt like an hour trying to get the egg out. It was very undignified and lots of tears thinking she’d have to go to A&E. But eventually she managed to squeeze her pelvic muscles enough to (this sounds wrong) birth it out. Her face was red with tiny burst capillaries from squeezing so hard.

It was obviously a rare defect with the toy and Lovehoney customer service were extremely sympathetic and caring. Can’t fault them. They offered a free choice of any other toy of equal value and threw in some other freebies.

We’ll never buy an egg that has that kind of design again though in case. Only solid body all in one design! Our current go to is the Lovense Lush!
