The little bird said, "Cheap! Cheap!"

So I got this new "massage wand" down at Xandi's (local sex toy shop) the other day, and it's fairly cool - basic variable-speed vibrator, but better made and more powerful than my last one. And best of all, it's purple.

I read the box (I'm one of those freaky people who reads everything) and it says "Clean vibrator with alcohol after use." So, naturally, I do so.

And the purple coloring came right off along with the alcohol.

The most annoying part is, the vibrator still works fine. I'd be able to be justifiably pissed if the entire outer layer had dissolved or some such, but it seems to be a fairly sturdy product. So I still have a decent vibrator, it's just silver now instead of purple.

Message to all manufacturers out there: IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A GOOD PRODUCT, MAKE IT A *GOOD* PRODUCT. ALL THE WAY THROUGH. PLEASE.

Let me get this straight. You're complaining about your vibrator because it's no longer purple?

Just be thankful the purple colouring came off with the alcohol wash and not somewhere else.

It's all a matter of perspective.

mmm, sharp paint flakes lacerating the soft skin...

Second that thought.

It was actually more of a dye, than paint. And a crappy dye at that.

I wasn't really pissed or anything, I was just surprised that something fairly well-made would have such a crappy finish...

That means you are probably all purply inside now, also...
As long as it is the same great taste....

An image of you in my mind. . .

wearing a black corset and spending quality time with a vibrator is very beautiful thing. Especially, when you make the 'O' face.

Eeks. I am rude. Sorry if I offend.

No worries. I'm not very uptight about sex, in case you hadn't noticed. =)

Okay.

Thanks. I was worried for a minute about my reply. Actually, aside from the ljupskirts posting and this posting, your journal is very non-sexual. (Not a dig, just an observation.) So, thank you for saying that I didn't offend.

*shrug* To me, sex is just another part of life. I talk about it when the mood strikes me, just like anything else. So compared to some people I've seen who talk about it all the time, I guess my journal is pretty non-sexual...I like to think that I just don't make a big deal out of it. =)

wow :-)
