Dream Toys Twerking Britney: review

Dream Toys Twerking Britney in brief — here’s what you get

Twerking Britney is a so-called full size-masturbator: a molded lower body made of soft plastic with two openings and a built-in vibration motor. It belongs to the The Girl Next Door series from the Dutch brand Dreamtoys, which is owned by the wholesaler Tonga BV in Axel. The manufacturer’s item number is 22170, and the product is sold in Sweden under at least three different names — which is the first thing worth clarifying before comparing prices.

The specification looks like this according to the manufacturer: length 24 centimeters, net weight 2.7 kilograms, material TPE on the outside and ABS in the inner section, a rechargeable battery, 180 minutes of charging time, 40–50 minutes of playtime on high, and 60–70 minutes on low, IPX6 ingress protection rating, and charging via a magnetic USB cable included. The material is stated to be free from phthalates and latex. The recommended approximate retail price is stated as 123 euro at Tonga BV and 119 euro on the brand’s own site. In Sweden, the item is sold by six shops at prices ranging from 761 to 1 295 SEK, and four of them have it in stock.

This review is exclusively about the item with EAN 8720365103827, the manufacturer’s item number 22170. The color is listed as Flesh, i.e., a light skin tone, and no other color variant appears in the manufacturer’s specification. The Girl Next Door series, however, includes a dozen other models with their own item numbers and completely different measurements, so check the number if you’re comparing.

What is a full size-masturbator, and how does it differ from a pocket pussy?

In practice, the category is divided into three. At the bottom there is the pocket pussy model: a small cylinder 10 to 15 centimeters long that weighs a couple of hundred grams and is held in the hand. Dreamtoys’ own Emma Pocket Pussy is the textbook example — 12.2 centimeters long, 5.5 centimeters in diameter, and 228 grams including packaging. It’s controlled entirely by the hand, and all movement comes from the user.

In the middle is the full size- or body stroker class, where Twerking Britney belongs. The product is molded as an under-body, weighs several kilos, and is intended to stay in place while the user moves. In this class, the weight is not a side effect of the design—it is the design idea itself: it is the mass that makes the product resist instead of gliding away. The manufacturer’s 2.7 kilos is therefore a functional requirement as much as it is a transport requirement.

On top are the torso models from eight to ten kilos and up, which in practice are half-dummies. They fall outside this comparison, but they explain why 2.7 kilos is described as a midweight despite the number sounding high for a sex toy. What sets Twerking Britney apart from the rest of the mid-range is that it has electronics: a motor, a rechargeable battery, and a button that controls the vibration. By far most products in that size are pure TPE castings with nothing electrical at all.

Twerking Britney, Britney Full Size Masturbator, or The Girl Next Door — the same product?

Yes, and it’s worth knowing this before you start comparing prices, because the six Swedish shops use five different names for exactly the same item number.

• Britney Full Size Masturbator With Twerking Function — the manufacturer’s own product name in the specifications table. Used by Blush Me and Vuxen.
• The Girl Next Door, Twerking Britney — the series name first. Used by Intima, Joyland, and Lustly.
• Britney Masturbator Twerk-funktion — Lekosmek's translation, and the only shop that prints out the manufacturer’s item number 22170 word for word.

The common denominator is EAN 8720365103827. That number appears in all six shops’ product streams and matches the manufacturer’s own specifications table, where it is listed alongside item number 22170. If you shop by name instead of by EAN, you risk comparing Twerking Britney with Big Bold Annika or with one of the twelve other models in the same series, which cost entirely different amounts of money and lack vibration.

Materials and build quality: TPE on the outside, ABS on the inside

The material question is the only feature of an intimate product that can’t be compensated for with experience or care, and it determines how long the product remains hygienic. The manufacturer lists two materials for Twerking Britney: TPE and ABS. TPE is the soft, skin-like material that makes up the entire body and both channels. ABS is the hard plastic, which in this construction sits in the inner part and plausibly encloses the motor, battery, and button unit—however, the manufacturer does not specify where in the product the ABS part sits, but it is shown in the materials listing on the product page, in the manual, and at Joyland.

What TPE means in practice

TPE stands for thermoplastic elastomer and is the most common material group in this product category. It’s a soft, flexible material that can be molded into detailed shapes for a fraction of what medical silicone costs, and that’s why almost every full-size masturbator on the market is made from it. The manufacturer describes the material as “real-feel” and states that both the vaginal and anal canals are stretchable, with an inner diameter ranging from 1 to 5 centimeters.

What’s worth noting is what the manufacturer does not write. Nowhere in the manufacturer’s material description is the TPE described as porous, and nowhere is there any guidance about boiling, dishwashing, or sterilization — the three methods that are usually listed for silicone products. Instead, the care instructions are more extensive than normal: the manufacturer expressly recommends an alcohol-free toy cleaning product after every use, wiping with a lint-free cloth, and then renewal powder after each cleaning to keep the TPE masturbator in shape. It’s an instruction that doesn’t appear on silicone products at all, and it says something about the material’s maintenance needs.

In practice, that means two things. First, the product requires a routine, not just a rinse: cleaning agent, drying, and dusting after every use. Second, a consumable item is added to the calculation, because renewal powder isn’t included in the delivery. The manufacturer states that the only included accessory is the magnetic USB cable. Neither Tonga BV nor Dream Toys publish a list of the package’s full contents, and none of the six stores fills in that gap either.

Phthalates and latex — why the material declaration is important

Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastic — above all, soft PVC — flexible. The Swedish Chemicals Inspectorate describes them as substances that can affect the hormone system and make reproduction more difficult, and several of them are therefore restricted or prohibited within the EU in a large number of products. This product category is repeatedly subject to oversight, because it relies on large amounts of soft plastic that sits against skin and mucous membrane for a long time.

The manufacturer expressly states that Twerking Britney is body-safe and free from phthalates and latex. The same wording is used in the manual, on the brand’s product page, and by all six Swedish stores, which means the information comes from the same source and is not store-made embellishment. It’s an unambiguous declaration, unlike terms such as “jellygummi” or a plain “mjukplast,” which don’t say anything about which plasticizers are included.

The latex insert is relevant for anyone who is latex-allergic. Latex allergy causes reactions on the mucous membrane faster than on normal skin, and a product with two internal channels is exactly the kind of use case where the insert matters. The fact that the manufacturer states it is a plus.

What the manufacturer does not publish, however, is any material declaration at the component level—which TPE quality it is, which plasticizers are actually used, or whether the product has been tested against any named standard in addition to the enclosure class. The country of origin is stated as China, and HS number 90191010 is listed in the specification, but that is customs classification and says nothing about material quality.

Dimensions and weight: 24 centimeters, 2.7 kilograms—and three conflicting width measurements.

Length is the only measurement that all manufacturer sources agree on: 24 centimeters, both in Tonga BV’s specification table and on dream-toys.com. After that, the details start to diverge, and it’s worth going through them one by one, since it’s the width that determines whether the product feels like a full-size model or like a large mug.

• Tonga BV lists “Diameter in cm: 5”. It’s the same field used for the series’ pocket pussy models and gives 5 centimeters, which is unreasonable for a product that weighs 2.7 kilograms.
• dream-toys.com states a diameter of 8.5 centimeters in its own specification table for the same item.
• Joyland states a height of 14 centimeters, a length of 18 centimeters, and a width of 21 centimeters—three measurements that together describe a body rather than a cylinder.
• Intima states “about 20 cm wide”.

What can be established is that the two store details are close to each other at 20–21 centimeters in width, while the manufacturer’s two own diameter fields neither match each other nor match the stores. The most likely explanation is that the manufacturer’s diameter field refers to the dimensions of the channel or the base and not the product’s greatest width, but the manufacturer does not specify that. Count on a product that is roughly 24 centimeters in the longest direction and roughly 20 centimeters wide, and treat the 5-centimeter value as a field error.

The packaging dimensions, on the other hand, are unambiguous and provide the best indication of the outer housing’s actual size: 30 × 23 × 17.5 centimeters according to the manufacturer. A cardboard box with a width of 23 centimeters simply cannot fit a product that is wider than about 21 centimeters, which supports the store details over the manufacturer’s diameter fields.

The weight also has a discrepancy. The manufacturer states a net weight of 2.7 kilograms and a gross weight of 2.923 kilograms — meaning a little more than two hectograms for the packaging and cable. Five out of six stores report 2.7 kilograms. Intima instead states “weighs approx. 3.1 kilograms.” This value is between the net weight and a reasonable shipping weight, and when a store contradicts the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s information applies. Count on 2.7 kilograms in your hand and just under three kilograms in the package.

Inside, the brand states a canal length of 19.5 centimeters and a diameter of 1 to 5 centimeters, stretchable. The canal length is the interesting figure here, because together with the outer length of 24 centimeters it means that the canal is closed at the bottom and not through-going. That distinguishes the construction from the series Emma, where the manufacturer explicitly states an open, through-going canal “to accommodate all penis lengths and for easy cleaning”. On Twerking Britney, there is no such information, and that has consequences for both the fit and for cleaning.

Two buttons, one motor, and a twerk function

The interface is as simple as it can be. The manufacturer’s manual describes three points on the product: the power button (1), the vibration button (2), and the charging points (3). You turn the product on by holding in the power button for three seconds, at which point a light comes on to show that it has been activated. You turn it off the same way — three seconds of pressing the same button. A short press on button (2) switches between the vibrations.

The button panel is recessed into an elongated plate on the underside of the product. That it sits exactly there is a direct result of the design: the product is intended to stand or lie firmly during use, and a button on the top side would have gotten in the way. The downside is that you can’t reach the control without lifting or tipping the product, and 2.7 kilograms is enough for it to be noticeable.

How many vibration modes does Twerking Britney have?

This is the most important piece of information in the specification, and it deserves a straight answer: the manufacturer does not publish the number of vibration modes. The manual says “shortly press button (2) to cycle through the different vibrations” without stating how many there are. None of the six Swedish stores gives any number either.

Worse still, the manufacturer’s two own descriptions pull in different directions. The brand’s product page lists, under the heading USP:s, that the product has “1 motor” and “single speed twerking vibrations” — meaning a single speed. At the same time, both the product page, Tonga BV’s specification, and the manual provide two different run times depending on speed: 40–50 minutes on the high setting and 60–70 minutes on the low setting. Two run times require at least two speeds, which directly contradicts “single speed”.

What that means in practice is that you can’t know the number of settings before purchase. What can be established with certainty is three things: that there is exactly one motor, that there are at least two power levels because the run time differs between them, and that the settings are scrolled through with a single press of a single button. Whether two settings or ten are hidden behind that button is unanswered. It’s a significant drawback in a specification that is otherwise unusually detailed for the price category.

What the twerk function actually is

The marketing is almost exclusively built around the word twerking, and that’s why it’s worth being careful about what the manufacturer actually claims. The manufacturer’s product text says “superstrong twerking vibrations” and “strong twerking vibrations”. The manual’s heading is “how to change the vibrations”. The specification table’s row “Vibrations” has the value “Strong twerking vibrations”.

So what can be established is that the twerk function is a vibration, not a separate mechanism. There is no other motor, no bump function, and no rotation in the specification—the manufacturer explicitly states that there is a motor. The effect occurs when a strong vibration is transferred to 2.7 kilograms of soft TPE: the mass starts to sway with it, and that is the movement that’s marketed as twerking. The Vuxens and Blush Mes product texts describe it in exactly that way— “a strong vibration that creates an intense, rhythmic movement that is noticeable along the entire length”.

This isn’t a criticism of the function, but it is an important expectation correction. Someone who reads “twerking” and imagines a motorized, mechanically moving product will be disappointed. Someone who understands that it’s a single powerful vibration motor inside a heavy, soft body will get a correct picture of what the specification describes.

Two openings and a 19.5-centimeter-long channel

The product has two separate inlets—one vaginal and one anal—both with what the manufacturer calls the textured love tunnel. The internal diameter is given as 1–5 centimeters and described as stretchable, which is the manufacturer’s way of saying that the channel widens after the user rather than having a fixed inner diameter.

The channel length of 19.5 centimeters is the figure that determines the fit, and it’s published only on the brand’s own site—not by Tonga BV and not by any Swedish shop. Since the outer length is 24 centimeters and the channel is 19.5 centimeters, the channel is closed at the bottom. Two consequences follow from that. One is that the channel creates negative pressure during use, which is desirable. The other is that a closed channel almost twenty centimeters deep is significantly harder to get clean and dry than a through-channel, and that’s why the manufacturer’s care instructions are so detailed as they are.

Two openings in the same product also mean twice the cleaning work. It isn’t a drawback of just this particular model, but rather a feature of the entire construction type, though it should be weighed against, for example, a pocket pussy with an open channel that can be turned inside out and rinsed through in a couple of minutes.

Water resistance: IPX6 — and the manufacturer’s own contradictory statements

The enclosure class is the other point where the manufacturer’s documentation contradicts itself, and this time with practical consequences.

Three out of four manufacturer sources indicate IPX6. Tonga BV’s product page says “IPX6 Shower friendly.” The multilingual PDF manual says “IPX6 – Shower friendly.” And the brand’s own FAQ, on the same page as the specification table, answers the question of whether the product can be used in water with “this vibrator has an IPX6 rating and is therefore shower friendly.” Only the specification table on dream-toys.com differs and says “IPX7 Bathtub friendly.”

All six Swedish stores state IPX6. The conclusion is that IPX6 is the information that applies, and that the IPX7 line in the brand’s table is a mistake in the manufacturer’s own material. The difference isn’t cosmetic, which the next section explains.

IPX6 vs IPX7 — the difference that determines whether it can be dipped

The rating comes from the international standard IEC 60529, which defines enclosure classes for electrical equipment. The second digit indicates the level of protection against water. IPX6 means the product has been tested against powerful water jets from all directions. IPX7 means something completely different: submersion in water to a depth of one meter for 30 minutes.

In practice, IPX6 means the product can handle showering and can be rinsed off under running water—which is exactly what the manufacturer says: “shower friendly.” However, that doesn’t mean it can be submerged in a bathtub or a filled sink, and that’s precisely what the brand’s incorrect IPX7 line suggests it can handle.

That the difference has consequences here depends on the design. The product is 2.7 kilograms of soft TPE with two closed channels and electronics built into an ABS section. If you submerge it, water gets into the channels, and a closed channel of 19.5 centimeters won’t drain on its own. Residual moisture in combination with a material that can’t be sterilized is exactly the scenario the care instructions are written to avoid. Keep it under the stream, not in the basin.

Cleaning, lubricant, and storage

The manufacturer’s instructions are unusually clear for the price range and should be read in full before first use. Clean the product with an alcohol-free toy cleaning product after each use. Spray it, wipe off with a clean lint-free cloth, and let the product dry completely. Once it is dry, the manufacturer recommends renewal powder after each cleaning to help keep the TPE material in shape. Store it dry and clean, preferably in a storage bag.

The question of lubricant has a clear answer: water-based lubricant, never silicone-based. Both the manual and the brand’s FAQ spell out the prohibition, and Intima repeats it in its product text with the justification that silicone-based lubricants destroy the material. Joyland lists water-based as the recommended lubricant in its specification box. With a 19.5-centimeter-long closed channel and two openings, it also uses significantly more lubricant than a small pocket pussy, which is an ongoing cost worth factoring in.

The manual also covers four things that rarely appear in store texts. The product is intended only for adults. It is not intended for therapeutic use. It should not be used on swollen or irritated skin. And the manufacturer explicitly states that long-term and frequent use is neither recommended nor advised—a formulation that is unusually direct and should be read as it is.

Battery and charging: 180 minutes charging time, 40–70 minutes operating time

The manufacturer states that it has a rechargeable battery, a charging time of 180 minutes, and a play time of 40–50 minutes on high mode and 60–70 minutes on low mode. These are the same three numbers in the manufacturer’s specification table, in the manual in seven languages, and at four of the six Swedish stores, so the information is well established.

The relationship between charging time and operating time is, however, weak and should be taken into account. Three hours of charging gives, at best, just over one hour of operation—so a ratio of approximately 3:1 in favor of charging. For comparison, Womanizer Next charges for 120 minutes for 240 minutes of operation—an opposite ratio. That doesn’t mean this product is built worse, but it does mean it isn’t made for long sessions or for multiple uses in a row without charging in between.

How is Twerking Britney charged?

With a magnetic USB cable that comes included. According to the manual, the cable is carefully placed against the charging points (3) on the product, and a full charge takes 180 minutes. Five of the six stores mention the magnetic cable explicitly, and Intima and Lekosmek state that it is included.

Magnetic charging is a trade-off, not a pure advantage. The advantage is that no opening in the housing is required, which is a prerequisite for reaching IPX6 on a product that is molded in soft TPE. The downside is that the cable is product-specific: if you lose the charging cable, no standard USB-C cable works. Because the manufacturer is a wholesaler that sells to stores and not directly to consumers, there’s also no published way to order a replacement cable—you’re limited to the store you bought it from. It’s a real risk to factor in a product whose entire electrical function depends on a single accessory.

The capacity that isn’t published

The manufacturer does not publish the battery’s capacity in mAh or its voltage, neither in the specification table, on the brand’s product page, or in the manual. The only thing stated is that the battery is rechargeable and that the number of batteries is one. No information about the battery type—lithium-ion, lithium polymer, or anything else—is provided either, and none of the six stores fills in the gap.

Without the capacity, it isn’t possible to convert operating time into power consumption, and it isn’t possible to compare how heavily the cell is loaded between models. It also isn’t possible to assess whether the long charging time is due to a large cell or a weak charging current. The latter is the more likely explanation given the short operating time, but it’s an assumption and not a piece of information.

What generally applies to rechargeable cells also applies here: capacity decreases with the number of charge cycles, and nothing in the manufacturer’s materials suggests that the battery is replaceable. In practice, a molded TPE body with electronics heat-sealed inside cannot be opened without destroying the product. When the cell is depleted, the product is too, which makes the battery—not the material—the component that sets the limit for its lifespan.

The manufacturer also does not publish a measured noise level, either in decibels or as a comparison. It’s worth knowing because a powerful vibration motor in a large, hollow body of soft plastic works as a resonance box. Numerical noise level figures for this model that appear on other sites are not backed up by anything from the manufacturer.

Twerking Britney compared with the alternatives

Three comparisons are relevant: versus the larger model in the same series, versus the smallest model in the same series, and versus the best-known competitor in the same product category. The specifications below come from each manufacturer’s own information, and all prices come from the stores’ product feeds on July 29, 2026.

Against Dreamtoys Big Bold Annika — 434 SEK more for more plastic and no motor

Big Bold Annika is the same series, the same manufacturer, and the same material, but a completely different product. The manufacturer states a length of 28 centimeters, a width of 15 centimeters, a height of 13 centimeters, and 2.3 kilograms, with a chest section in addition to the two openings. The material is listed only as TPE—no ABS, no battery information, no charging, and no vibration. The recommended suggested retail price is 109 euros, and in Sweden it is sold for 1 195 SEK.

The differences that matter: Annika is longer and has more to hold onto, but weighs less—2.3 versus 2.7 kilograms. Twerking Britney is the only one of the two that has electronics, and therefore the only one where the twerk function exists. Annika, in return, is the only one of the two that is completely free of battery, charging cable, and an enclosure rating, which means it cannot break electrically and that the entire product can be rinsed without regard to an IPX rating.

The conclusion is simple. If you want vibration, you should buy Twerking Britney, which is also 434 SEK cheaper at the cheapest store. If you want pure mechanical action without electronics that can stop working after a couple of years, Annika is the more durable choice—but you pay more for less functionality.

Against Dreamtoys Emma Pocket Pussy — 622 SEK and twelve times the weight

Emma Pocket Pussy is the series’ smallest model and costs 139 SEK. The manufacturer lists a length of 12.2 centimeters, a diameter of 5.5 centimeters, a tunnel diameter of 0.5–5 centimeters, 228 grams including packaging, and material TPE. The channel is open at both ends—the manufacturer explicitly justifies this by saying it should fit all lengths and be easy to clean. No motor, no battery.

The price difference is 622 SEK and the weight difference is roughly twelvefold. What Twerking Britney adds for that money is the form factor—a product that sits still by its own weight instead of needing to be held in your hand—plus two openings instead of one, and a vibration motor. What Emma adds is an all-the-way-through channel that can be rinsed through, a format that fits in a drawer, and a price tag where a wrong purchase doesn’t hurt.

If you’re unsure whether TPE material and this kind of channel texture suit you, Emma is a hard-to-beat way to find out for under one hundred and fifty kronor, and it’s also made of exactly the same material, by exactly the same manufacturer. If you already know the format suits you, and it’s specifically the weight and the twerk function you’re after, there’s no way to get there via the series’ small models.

Against Pipedream Extreme Fuck Me Silly Petite — more than double the price

The most well-known competitor in the category is Pipedream’s Fuck Me Silly series, and the model most closely comparable—Fuck Me Silly Petite—is sold in the Swedish listings from 1 849 SEK and up. That’s more than double the price compared to Twerking Britney’s 761 SEK at the cheapest store.

The price difference itself is the strongest argument for Twerking Britney in this comparison, especially since the Pipedream model is a pure mechanical casting without a vibration motor. So if you’re looking for the vibrating function, it isn’t included in the more expensive option. If, on the other hand, what attracts you is the size and weight itself, the Pipedream series sits above Dreamtoys in both weight and price.

One reservation belongs here: the comparison against Pipedream is based only on price and product name from the shops’ feeds, not on the manufacturer’s own specifications, because Pipedream doesn’t publish the dimensions and weight for the model in a format that can be verified. Take it as a price comparison and nothing more.

Price range: 761 to 1,295 SEK at six stores

Six Swedish shops sell the item under EAN 8720365103827. The cheapest is Joyland at 761 SEK, and the most expensive is Intima and Lekosmek at 1,295 SEK each. That’s 534 SEK, or a 70 percent difference, for the exact same item number and the same packaging.

The inventory situation is unusually good for this category. Four of the six shops had the product in stock during the price check: Joyland at 761 SEK, Blush Me at 895 SEK, Lustly at 1,199 SEK, and Intima at 1,295 SEK. Vuxen and Lekosmek listed it as sold out. That means the cheapest shop is also one of the ones that can actually deliver, which isn’t always the case.

Two observations are worth making about the pricing. The first is that Joyland’s regular price in the feed is listed as 1,195 SEK versus a current price of 761 SEK, and that Lekosmeks’ regular price is listed as 1,495 SEK versus 1,295 SEK. It’s therefore a campaign-priced product across several shops at the same time, which means the price picture can change faster than for a product with a stable list price. The second is that all the Swedish prices are below the manufacturer’s recommended approximate retail price, which is stated as 123 euro at Tonga BV and 119 euro on the brand’s own site.

The price spread doesn’t depend on any shop selling a different variant. All six shops list the item under EAN 8720365103827, and Lekosmek also prints the manufacturer’s item number 22170. So this is about the shops’ own margin pricing—exactly the kind of situation where it’s most worth comparing before you pay.

A practical note at the end: the product weighs almost three kilos with packaging and measures 30 × 23 × 17.5 centimeters in the carton. It’s a package that often ends up over the limit for mailbox delivery and can result in a higher shipping fee than a small sex toy. Check the shipping cost at checkout before you decide which shop is actually the cheapest.

Who is Twerking Britney for—and who is it not for?

It fits you if you want a full-size masturbator with weight, if you want two openings in the same product, and if you want vibration without paying for a motorized premium product. It fits you if you already know that TPE material works for you and you’re willing to take care of it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. And it fits you if you want class-typical dimensions — 24 centimeters long, about 20 centimeters wide, 2.7 kilograms — at a price tag that is clearly below the manufacturer’s recommended price.

It doesn’t fit you if you want a product that can be stored discreetly or taken on a trip: 2.7 kilograms and a cardboard box that’s 30 centimeters is nothing you’d pack as must-have toiletry contents. It doesn’t fit you if you want to submerge the product in the bathtub, because IPX6 only covers water jets. It doesn’t fit you if you require published battery capacity, stated sound level, or a confirmed number of vibration modes before buying, because the manufacturer doesn’t publish either. And it doesn’t fit you if you want to be able to charge with the same cable as your phone — the magnetic charging cable is product-specific and lacks a published spare parts route.

One more thing belongs in the decision. A closed channel of 19.5 centimeters in a material that can’t be sterilized places demands on routine. The manufacturer has spelled out what applies — alcohol-free cleaning agent after every use, drying with a lint-free cloth, renewal powder after every cleaning, and dry storage — and the person who isn’t thinking of following that routine should choose a product with a fully open-through channel instead. It’s not a criticism of the model, but of an expectation that doesn’t match the design.

Warranty, complaints, and the right of withdrawal

The manufacturer does not publish a warranty period for Twerking Britney. Neither Tonga BV’s product page, the brand’s product page, nor the multilingual manual contains anything about a warranty section. It’s not unusual when the manufacturer is a wholesaler that sells to stores rather than directly to consumers, but that means there is no manufacturer warranty you can rely on in addition to the store’s.

Of the six stores, only Lekosmek states its own warranty: a two-year product warranty. It is a store commitment and not a manufacturer warranty, meaning it only applies when you buy at that specific store — which was also sold out during the price check. The other five stores do not state a warranty period on the product page.

What always applies, however, is your statutory rights, and in this case they are worth more than any voluntary promise. Under the Swedish Consumer Sales Act (konsumentköplagen), you have three years to complain about defects in the item, regardless of what the manufacturer or the store promises — and for a product whose weakest point is a battery that cannot be replaced, it is that right that matters. In distance selling, you also have a right of withdrawal within fourteen days under the Act on Distance Contracts and Contracts Outside Business Premises (distansavtalslagen and avtal utanför affärslokaler).

Be aware that, in practice, the right of withdrawal is limited for hygiene products that have been taken out of a sealed package. The right to complain about defects, on the other hand, always applies. If you have questions about what applies in your case, Konsumentverket (Swedish Consumer Agency) can guide you via Hallå konsument.
