Battery-powered versus rechargeable
What each power type means in practice for cost, convenience, travel and water exposure.
What to look for
- Materials first
- Material is the single most useful thing to check on any listing. Look for a named material such as platinum-cured silicone, borosilicate glass or ABS plastic, and treat vague descriptions with caution.
- Dimensions are not decoration
- Manufacturers usually publish total length, insertable length and widest diameter separately. Read all three, and compare them to something familiar rather than guessing.
