Customers (often young women, but not always or exclusively) walk into Katz Boutique in the Galleria to buy their first-ever vibrator on a near-daily basis. They often have a lot of similar questions, so we’re bringing you our #VibeTips features for insight into why one vibrator is better than another, or which is right for you!

Shot glasses really helped drive home the difference…
And the winner is…

Are rechargeable vibrators really worth it?

First, let’s figure out exactly how much we’re talking. So I won’t throw a good, battery-operated product under the bus by name, but I will tell you that it retails for between $20 and $25 most places (including online). I also want to point out that that’s a fine product — it’s on its lowest vibration setting in the video (as is the rechargeable). For $20–25, it gets the job done. And if that’s the extent of your budget, really and truly, I’m happy to put one in your hands!

But usually, what I encounter is someone who’s truly pondering whether the bump in price to a rechargeable vibrator is worth it. Here, I’ve picked out one of my all-time favorites (the Pretty in Pink from Evolved), which retails in Katz for something like $42 and change (after tax). So it’s a significant step up, I get that.

But…

Did you see that shot glass?

All of our ‘top-shelf’ items (Evolved, Adam & Eve, The Rabbit Co., Nü Sensuelle and numerous others) come with manufacturer warranties. As with any adult boutique, at Katz Boutique, all sales are final. BUT, having that warranty (5 years, for the Pretty in Pink) means that Evolved will be more than happy to replace your vibe if something happens to it. Check out the warranty here!

We test ALL PRODUCTS before they leave the store, so we’ll never let you walk out with a dud. But if the standard, battery-operated vibe fails you in a year, six months, a month — time to buy a new vibe! Whereas you’re guaranteed 5 years (or more!) of the Pretty in Pink. And just look at the way it’s crushing that shot glass.

So… is it worth it? Are you? 💋

SPOILER ALERT: You are worth it!
