Suzanne Noble recounts buying a cheap bullet vibrator that kept spontaneously turning itself on at night, waking her repeatedly. She advises spending more on higher-quality, body-safe sex toys to avoid the problem.
I want to talk about cheap vibrators. So I'm always going on about making sure that whatever you use on your body is safe and uses good material, but sometimes I just don't take my own advice. And the other day, having bought a fairly cheap bullet off of Amazon, I woke up about 10 times in the middle of the night when the thing decided to spontaneously go off and vibrate very loudly, I have to say, and it woke me up a number of times. Should have just gotten up and put the thing under a load of clothes or something in my laundry room, but I was so exhausted, but I just ended up holding it in my hand until eventually it stopped vibrating. But the, um, moral to this story is Don't buy cheap products. Spend a little bit of cash if you're going to buy a vibrator, because otherwise you could find that it's more disturbing than pleasurable.
