## Where the money actually goes

- **Motors.** A device that moves costs more than one that only vibrates. The biggest jump is from a simple external vibrator to a dual-motor or motorised device.
- **Material volume.** A 2.5 kg moulded body costs more than a 580 g sleeve because there is four times as much material in it.
- **Battery and control.** App control, warming, and a second motor all add cost without changing the material.
- **Packaging and branding.** This is where you get the least for your money. A prettier box is not a better product.

## When paying more is worth it

**When the mechanism is the point.** If you want movement rather than vibration, there is no cheap way to get it. A manual cup and a motorised stroker are not the same product at different prices — they do different things.

**When weight matters.** A heavy torso stays where you put it. A light one does not. That is a functional difference you can feel immediately.

## When it is not worth it

On a first purchase. If you have not used the category before, an expensive device is an expensive guess — the features you are paying for are ones you have not tested a preference for.

For anything where the material is the same and only the finish differs, the cheaper one is usually the better buy.

## A simple test

Ask what the extra money buys, in one sentence, without using the word "premium". If the answer is a motor, a mechanism, or material you can feel — worth it. If the answer is finish, packaging or brand — probably not.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is a OMR 70 device better than a OMR 30 one?

Only if the difference is a mechanism you specifically want. In our catalogue the OMR 70 item is a 2.1 kg heating thruster — bigger and motorised, not just nicer.

### Do expensive toys last longer?

Motors fail before materials do. A cheap silicone dildo can outlast an expensive motorised device.

### Where is the value sweet spot?

Around OMR 25–35 across most categories — real materials and real function without paying for unused features.
