Hidden Desire Juicy Double D 5 kg: review.

Hidden Desire Juicy Double D at a glance — here’s what you get

Hidden Desire Juicy Double D 5 kg is a so-called torsomasturbator: a molded upper body in soft plastic with two through channels, a pair of powerful breasts, and absolutely no electronics. The manufacturer sells it under the Bangers label and describes it as a full-body torsomasturbator with lifelike breasts as well as a vagina and a butt with structured channels. It is not a vibrator, not an app-controlled product, and nothing that needs to be charged—its entire function lies in the shape, weight, and material.

The specifications are as follows: 36 centimeters tall, 21 centimeters wide, 14.5 centimeters deep, and five kilos in weight. The material is TPE, which the manufacturer markets under the name Realistic Love Skin. Two openings—one vaginal and one anal—with different textures inside. A single color option, Light Skin Tone, with item number 16941-SKIN from the manufacturer. In Sweden, the item is listed by five stores at prices between 1,101 and 1,689 SEK.

This review is about the item with EAN 8713221841643. The number is checked against the manufacturer’s own variant listing, where item number 16941-SKIN carries the exact barcode number—so it is the same product from the manufacturer as it is at the five Swedish stores, regardless of how differently they name it. The manufacturer’s recommended price in its own European store is 152.99 euros.

What is a torsomasturbator, and who is Hidden Desire?

A torsomasturbator is the in-between step between a handheld masturbator and a full-size sex doll. It has no head, arms, or legs, and that’s the whole point: the mass ends up where it’s useful, and the price and storage problem become a fraction of what a full-body doll entails. In this product category, weight is not an unwanted side effect but a design choice—it’s the mass that keeps the product in place during use instead of following the movement, which is the practical difference compared to a handheld masturbator that weighs a couple of hundred grams.

Hidden Desire is a Dutch brand with an address in Wijchen. Bangers is the brand’s line of realistic masturbators, and the manufacturer’s manual plainly states that the products are made in China and imported by Scala 2.0 BV at the same address. It’s worth noting because it clarifies responsibility: the one who sells in Sweden is the reseller, the one who put their name on the product is Hidden Desire, and the one who produced it is a contract manufacturer that isn’t named. That’s the normal chain in this product category, but it also explains why the specification depth is so much more basic than with an electronics brand like Womanizer or Lelo.

What can be established about Hidden Desire’s documentation is that it’s unusually good when it comes to care and unusually thin on numbers. The manufacturer publishes a ten-page manual in five languages for the entire Bangers series, with clear instructions about lube, cleaning, drying, and storage. However, the manufacturer publishes neither channel depth, channel diameter, the material’s hardness in Shore, any statement about phthalate content, nor any warranty period in months. The dimensions and weight appear only as the stated numbers in the product gallery images, not as a specification table.

Where Juicy Double D sits in the Bangers series

Hidden Desire’s catalog of torso masturbators is sorted by weight, and in practice that’s the only sorting criterion the brand uses. The series ranges from small bodypart masturbators under thirty euros up to models weighing 22 kilos. Juicy Double D is in the lower mid-tier.

• Juicy Sucking Pussy 4 kg — one kilo lighter, and the only one in the comparison with electronics. The manufacturer’s price is 169,99 euro, so it’s higher than Juicy Double D despite the lower weight.
• Juicy Double D 5 kg — the model this text is about. The manufacturer’s price is 152,99 euro.
• Fat Fuck Queen 6 kg — one kilo heavier, wider shape, 186,99 euro with the manufacturer.
• Big College Fuck Slut 15 kg and up — a completely different product class in both price and handling, 467,99 euro with the manufacturer.

The conclusion from this list is simple but useful: within the Bangers series, price doesn’t follow weight linearly, and Juicy Double D is actually cheaper with the manufacturer than the one-kilo-lighter Juicy Sucking Pussy. The reason is that the latter contains motors. If you want the most material per krona, five kilos for 152,99 euro is the best point in the series before the price starts to climb.

Materials and build quality: TPE behind the name Realistic Love Skin

Material is the only property of an intimate product that cannot be compensated for through habit or care, and it determines whether the product is still hygienic after two years. Here there is a linguistic trap worth clearing up right away. The manufacturer’s product text and all Swedish shop texts call the material Realistic Love Skin. It is a brand name, not a material designation. The manufacturer’s own manual, however, is straightforward: the product is made of TPE, and the TPE is expressly described as flammable.

Two of the Swedish stores confirm the same thing in their own specification fields. Blush Me lists the material as “skin-friendly TPE,” and Vuxen lists “tpe” in its quick fact table, together with the note that the material is stretchable. It is one of the few points where the stores’ information, the manufacturer’s marketing text, and the manufacturer’s manual all point in exactly the same direction.

TPE vs silicone: the difference that determines hygiene

TPE stands for thermoplastic elastomer. It’s a soft plastic that can be molded into large, complex shapes for a fraction of the cost of silicone, and it reproduces skin-like softness and weight better than almost any other material in this price range. That’s why the entire category of torso masturbators is made of TPE and not silicone: a five-kilo silicone body would not cost 1 101 SEK.

But TPE and silicone differ in one crucial point here. Silicone is non-porous. TPE is not— the material has a microporous surface, which means there are cavities in the surface where moisture, lubricants, and bodily fluids can remain even after rinsing. The result is practical rather than theoretical: a TPE product can be cleaned, but it can’t be sterilized, and it is never as clean as a silicone surface that has been dried off. That is also why the manufacturer’s manual places so much emphasis on drying specifically, rather than only rinsing.

The second difference is how the materials age. Silicone is chemically stable for decades. TPE softens, becomes sticky, and can discolor over time, especially with heat and UV light—which is exactly why the manufacturer’s manual forbids direct sunlight and keeping it near heat sources and describes the material as flammable. What can be concluded, then, is that this product’s service life is determined to a greater extent by how it is stored than by how often it is used. A TPE torso that sits in a sunny window niche is used up far sooner than one that is kept in the dark and cool.

One more thing is relevant here. The manufacturer’s manual warns against placing the product against hard or sharp surfaces, because that leaves marks, dents, and scratches on the surface. It’s a property of soft TPE rather than a quality defect: the material takes on the impression of whatever it lies against. In practice, this means that a product of this type needs its own storage space with a soft backing—not just a hiding place.

Phthalates and plasticizers—the manufacturer doesn’t disclose

Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastic flexible, above all plasticized PVC. The Swedish Chemicals Agency (Kemikalieinspektionen) describes them as substances that can affect the endocrine system and make reproduction harder, and several of them are therefore restricted or banned within the EU in a large number of products. The category of soft plastic against the skin is a recurring subject of supervision, and a five-kilo TPE body lying against the mucous membrane is precisely the kind of use where the issue becomes relevant.

Hidden Desire publishes no declaration about phthalates, BPA, or latex for Juicy Double D— neither on the product page, in the product gallery, or in the ten-page manual. None of the five Swedish stores states anything about it either. This is not a sign that the product contains phthalates, but it is a real gap in the information, and it needs to be weighed against the fact that competing brands in higher price tiers explicitly state that exact information in plain text.

What you can say, though, from a purely material-technical standpoint, is that TPE itself doesn’t need phthalate plasticizers to become soft—the softness comes from the block structure in the polymer, not from an added plasticizer in the same way as in plasticized PVC. So the designation TPE is, in itself, a better indication than unspecified labels like “jelly rubber.” But it’s not the same as a published declaration, and that’s the difference between knowing and assuming.

Measurements and weight: 36 × 21 × 14.5 cm and the question of five or 5.2 kilos

The manufacturer publishes the dimensions in its own dimension drawing in the product gallery: 36 centimeters high, 21 centimeters wide, and 14.5 centimeters deep. The same three figures appear verbatim in the product text at Blush Me, SexleksakerOutlet, and Vuxen, and Vuxen also lists the total length of 36 centimeters separately in its quick fact table. It’s unusual for four independent sources to be completely in agreement in this category, and here they are.

The weight deserves a caveat. The product name says 5 kg, and the manufacturer’s own product image includes a weight marking with the text 5 KG next to the measurement 36 cm. But the manufacturer’s own web address for the product ends with the string 52-kg, meaning 5.2 kilos, and Joyland — which has probably built its address from the same supplier data — uses the exact same string. The most likely explanation is that the product was first launched as a 5.2-kilo model and then rounded to 5 kg in the naming, but the manufacturer does not clarify it anywhere. Count on five kilos, and treat the two-hundred-gram difference as uncertainty rather than as an error.

Put the numbers in context. 36 centimeters is roughly the height of the short side of a moving box, and five kilos is the weight of a well-packed suitcase for carry-on. So this is not a product that fits in a drawer or that you can lift with an outstretched arm. The depth of 14.5 centimeters is, meanwhile, strikingly small in relation to the height, which means the product is a relatively flat body rather than a round mass — and it is exactly that shape that lets it lie stably on a surface.

The manufacturer lists just one version: Light Skin Tone. Blush Me calls the same color Nude. So there is no darker skin tone for Juicy Double D, unlike several other models in the Bangers series where the manufacturer lists both Skin and Brown or Caramel as separate versions with their own article numbers.

Two channels, no electronics: that’s how the product is designed

In its quick spec table, Vuxen lists two openings: vagina and anal. The manufacturer’s product text says the same and adds that both channels are structured. The product has no buttons, no motor, no battery, and no charging port. It’s worth saying plainly, because in several Swedish stores the product sits in categories that are otherwise dominated by electronic items: Juicy Double D does not vibrate.

The absence of electronics has two consequences that pull in different directions. The positive is that there’s nothing that can stop working: no battery that loses capacity, no charging cable to lose, no motor that grinds itself together, and no seal around a button that can let water in. The negative is that the entire experience depends on the material and the shape, and that there’s no setting to adjust if the fit doesn’t match.

Vaginal channel and anal channel — the manufacturer’s own cross-section

The most informative source about the product’s interior is a cross-section image in the manufacturer’s own product gallery. It shows the two channels in profile and names them: the vaginal channel is described as stretchable and with a velvet-smooth surface, the anal channel as very tight and structured. The image also shows that both channels run diagonally upward through the body and end blindly inside the material—meaning they are not continuous all the way out on the back.

In practice, this is the only functional task the manufacturer provides about the inside, and it still gives more than most brands in the price range. The difference between the two channels is intentional: one smooth, stretchable channel and one tight, textured channel in the same product create two different sensations without the product needing any moving parts. What can be established is that this design provides two positions for use, whereas a single-channel masturbator provides just one.

The manufacturer does not publish the channels’ depth, their diameter at rest, or how much they stretch. None of the five Swedish stores does either. Vuxen only states that the elasticity is “stretchable,” which is a qualitative statement and not a measurement. This is by far the biggest gap in the specification, because insertion depth and channel diameter are exactly the two figures that determine whether the product fits a particular user. Websites that list a channel depth in centimeters for this model either present their own measurement or a value without a source from the manufacturer.

Why lubricant isn’t optional here

The manufacturer’s manual is unusually clear on this point and repeats it in all five languages: always use water-based lubricant, because the product has no lubrication of its own. The cross-section image in the product gallery conveys the same message as an exposed text—“just add lubricant.”

This is not a polite phrase. TPE against dry skin creates friction that feels unpleasant and also wears down the channel’s inner wall, and a scratch or a break inside a channel can’t be repaired. The recommendation for water-based lubricant also has a chemical basis: silicone-based lubricants attack soft elastomer surfaces and make them sticky and porous over time, and oil-based products such as coconut oil leave a film in a porous surface that is practically impossible to get rid of again. On a product where the channels can’t be turned inside out, the difference is greater than on a handheld masturbator with a removable sleeve.

Also factor in the consumption. A torso with two channels of this size uses significantly more lubricant per session than a handheld product, and several of the stores sell 150-milliliter bottles of water-based lubricant for between 39 and 129 SEK as an accessory on the same page. That’s an ongoing cost that belongs in the calculation.

How do you handle five kilos in practice?

The manufacturer’s manual explicitly addresses the weight and formulates it as a warning: the product may be heavier than other masturbators you’re used to, so don’t underestimate the weight when you move it, and don’t drop it—dropping it can cause breakage, damage to the surface, or damage to the joints. It’s a reasonable instruction for an object of five kilos in soft plastic.

The manual also mentions something that no store text covers: that the product must not be stored in a bent position because it can damage the skeleton. The wording comes from the series instructions that apply to all Bangers masturbators, and it means that at least some models in the series have an internal frame. The manufacturer does not state whether Juicy Double D specifically has an internal skeleton or not, and none of the Swedish stores mention it either. You should follow the instruction anyway, because it costs nothing to follow.

At the same time, the weight is the argument for the product. Five kilos is enough for the body to stay in place on its own on a bed or the floor, without needing to be held. That’s the functional difference compared to a handheld masturbator, and it’s also why the manufacturer chooses to put the weight in the product name instead of the dimensions: in this category, kilos are what the buyer compares.

Cleaning, drying, and the care powder

The care section is the part of the manufacturer’s documentation with the highest quality, and it’s also the part that’s most decisive for how long the product lasts. The manual divides the instructions into inside and outside.

How do you clean Hidden Desire Juicy Double D?

The manufacturer states that the channels should be rinsed after each use with warm soapy water, and that the rinsing should continue until there are no soap residues left. After that, the channels should be dried thoroughly: the manual explicitly says that you should dry or dab them with a clean, dry cloth so that no water remains. The outside is cleaned with a mild shower foam or warm soapy water and dried with a soft, light-colored towel—the fact that the towel should be light-colored is no coincidence, because dyes from dark textiles can migrate into TPE and permanently discolor the surface.

What makes drying the critical point is the combination of porous TPE and two blind channels. Water that remains at the bottom of a channel can’t evaporate as easily as it can on an open surface, and a damp, microporous surface is a good environment for microorganisms. That’s why the manufacturer’s instruction doesn’t just say “rinse off,” but adds its own paragraph on drying. A practical consequence that the manual doesn’t spell out, but that follows from the design: plan on setting aside time for drying after each use, and plan on positioning the product so that the channel openings can air out.

Also note what the manual does not say. There is no IP rating and no statement that the product would withstand being submerged. The instructions say to rinse the channels and wash the outside, not to submerge the entire body in water. A five-kilo TPE body that is flushed through with water is also difficult to get dry. Treat the product as washable, not as waterproof.

The maintenance powder the manufacturer assumes—but does not list

The manual mentions a maintenance powder three times. The channels should be powdered so they feel new again, and the surface can be cared for with the same powder to keep the material in shape. In the Dutch version, the manufacturer even names the product: the powder from S8.

In practice, that powder is mandatory for anyone who wants the product to last. Without it, the TPE surface becomes sticky after it dries, and a sticky surface attracts dust and lint that then stick. The point here is that the manufacturer neither publishes any packing-content list nor states whether maintenance powder is included in the package. None of the five Swedish stores lists what is in the box either. Assume that the powder is an accessory that is bought separately, and add that cost to the calculation in the same way as the lubricant.

Storage: lying on its back, dark and cool

The manufacturer’s storage instructions are specific and can be summarized in five points: place the product on its back in a lying position, preferably on a soft surface; never store it bent; do not let it rest against hard or sharp surfaces; keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and degradation of the surface; and keep it away from fire and heat sources because the TPE is flammable.

The overall consequence is that the product requires a place, not a hiding spot. 36 × 21 × 14.5 centimeters lying flat, on something soft, dark, and cool—practically a box under the bed or a wardrobe shelf with a blanket in it. It’s a real disadvantage compared with a handheld masturbator that fits in a toiletry bag, and it’s one of the things that reasonably should determine the purchase before the price does.

What is not in the specification—and why it matters

It’s just as important to list the openings in the base as the contents in it. For this product, the manufacturer does not publish the following: the depth of the channels, the diameter of the channels, the shore hardness of the material, any declaration about phthalates, BPA, or latex, what is included in the package, the outer dimensions of the packaging, any warranty period in months or years, any IP rating, and also whether the product has an internal skeleton.

It’s a long list, and it’s typical for the price category rather than unique to Hidden Desire. But it should still affect the assessment, because several of the missing details are exactly what a buyer needs: the channel depth determines the fit, the phthalate declaration determines material safety, and the warranty period determines what happens if the product breaks. What can be established is that Hidden Desire provides more care information than most in the category, and less measurement data than almost all electronics brands.

On the contrary, there are two pieces of information that the manufacturer actually publishes but that the shops omit—and that are worth highlighting: that the material is flammable TPE, and that the product is manufactured in China and imported by Scala 2.0 BV. None of the five Swedish shop pages mentions either of these.

Juicy Double D compared with the alternatives

Three comparisons are relevant: versus the lighter model with electronics in the same series, versus the heavier model in the same series, and versus the best-selling competitor from another brand. All specification details below come from the respective manufacturer’s own pages or manuals, with shop details marked as such, and all prices from the shops’ product feeds on July 29, 2026.

Against Hidden Desire Juicy Sucking Pussy 4 kg — 94 SEK for motors

Juicy Sucking Pussy 4 kg costs from 1,195 SEK in Swedish stores, i.e., 94 SEK more than Juicy Double D at its cheapest. With the manufacturer itself, the price difference is larger and in the same direction: 169.99 euros versus 152.99 euros.

The difference is that the lighter model has electronics. Retailer Blush Me lists ten vibration modes, five suction modes, the enclosure rating IPX5, and the product dimensions 19 × 27 × 16 centimeters for that model—details that the manufacturer does not publish on its own product page. So it is both smaller and lighter, but it has an active function that Juicy Double D completely lacks, and it’s the only one of the three compared products with a published IP rating.

So choosing between them is not a choice between more and less of the same thing. If you want a vibration and suction function, Juicy Sucking Pussy is the only way to get that within the series, and 94 SEK is cheap for that function. If you want the most shape and mass—breasts to hold, two channels, and a body that stays still under its own weight—you get more of that for less money with Juicy Double D. At the same time, note that electronics in a TPE body are also more things that can break, and that the model’s IPX5 rating according to the shop only means splash protection, not that it can be submerged.

Against Hidden Desire Fat Fuck Queen 6 kg — 425 SEK for an additional kilo

Fat Fuck Queen 6 kg costs from 1,526 SEK, i.e. 425 SEK more than Juicy Double D. With the manufacturer, the price is 186.99 euro versus 152.99. It’s the same material, the same series, the same two channels, and the same manual — the difference is the shape and the mass.

Retailer Blush Me lists the measurements as 31 × 25 × 16 centimeters and the material as TPE for Fat Fuck Queen. Compared with Juicy Double D, that means it is therefore five centimeters lower but four centimeters wider and one and a half centimeters deeper — a shorter and wider body with a kilo more material. For this model, the manufacturer does not publish its own measurement drawing in the way that exists for Juicy Double D.

The conclusion is that the two models solve the same task with different proportions. If you want breasts to grab, you choose Juicy Double D, which puts its 36 centimeters up in height and has an upper body. If you want maximum mass in the hips and buttocks, you choose Fat Fuck Queen. The price difference of 425 SEK corresponds to about 39 percent, which is a lot for a kilo of TPE — but if you already decided on the shape, there’s no alternative path to get there.

Against Pipedream PDX Plus Perfect 10 Torso — 889 SEK and a one-year warranty

Pipedream PDX Plus Perfect 10 Torso costs from 1,990 SEK in Swedish stores, i.e. 889 SEK more than Juicy Double D. On its own product page, Pipedream states that the model is made of their Fanta Flesh-TPE, has dual openings for vaginal and anal use, a structured tunnel design, and a weight of 10.5 pounds — about 4.8 kilos, i.e. practically the same mass as Juicy Double D. In addition, retailer Blush Me lists the length as 53 centimeters for this model, which would make it significantly longer than Juicy Double D’s 36 centimeters. The measurement is not published by Pipedream itself.

The decisive difference lies in the warranty. Pipedream expressly states a one-year warranty on its product page and also links to both a product manual and a declaration of conformity. Hidden Desire states no warranty period at all — the manual only says that any faults should be reported to the store where the product was purchased, with a receipt, and that the warranty applies only to unused product. Those are two completely different levels of commitment, and it’s the only point in the comparison where the 889 SEK price difference corresponds to something concrete and verifiable.

In summary: if you choose based on price per kilo, Juicy Double D wins by a comfortable margin. If you choose based on published documentation, warranty, and compliance documentation, Pipedream wins. In terms of materials, they’re in the same class — both are TPE with brand names stuck on, and both require the same care.

Price range: 1,101 to 1,689 SEK and four stores with stock

Five Swedish shops list the item with EAN 8713221841643. The lowest price is Joyland at 1,101 SEK, and the highest is Vuxen at 1,689 SEK. That’s a difference of 588 SEK or 53 percent for exactly the same item number, the same color, and the same packaging.

The stock situation is unusually good for this category: four of the five shops had the product in stock at the price check. The exception is Sexonic at 1,369.75 SEK, which in the feed is marked as out of stock. That means that the cheapest available and the second-cheapest available differ by 394 SEK—Joyland at 1,101 SEK versus Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet at 1,495 SEK each.

Two things are worth knowing about Joyland’s lowest price. The shop’s own product feed lists 1,101 SEK as the current price and 1,295 SEK as the regular price, and the same 1,295 SEK is shown on the shop’s product page. So it’s a promotional price and not the shop’s normal level. Anyone comparing should expect the price to potentially go back to 1,295 SEK, which would still be the lowest of the five.

The duplicate listing at Sexonic and the dead link

A note about the shop data belongs here, because it’s relevant for anyone looking for the product on their own. Sexonic lists the same EAN 8713221841643 twice in its product feed, under two different item numbers and two different product names—one that “Hidden Desire Juicy Double D 5 Kg Skin” under the category masturbators, and one that “Juicy Double D Vagina and Anal Masturbator 5 kg” under the category vaginor utan vibrationer. Both listings have the same price.

The second of the two listings leads to a page that no longer exists, and it responds with error code 404. Therefore, the table above includes only the listing at Sexonic that can actually be opened. The shop’s live product page also shows a stock balance, even though the product feed marks the item as out of stock—an inconsistency that occurs when a feed is updated less often than the shop’s own inventory system, and one reason to always check availability at checkout rather than in a comparison table.

Otherwise, the shops’ naming differs greatly for the same item: Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet call it “Hidden Desire Juicy Double D 5 kg”, Joyland “Hidden Desire: Bangers, Juicy Double D, 5 kg”, Vuxen the same without the series designation, and the manufacturer itself only “Juicy Double D 5 kg”. The categorization varies just as much—Vuxen places it under loose vaginas, Joyland under sex dolls and torsos, and Blush Me under sex doll. When you compare, search by EAN, not by name.

Who is Hidden Desire Juicy Double D for—and who is it not for?

It’s for you if you want a lot of volume and shape rather than technology. Five kilos and 36 centimeters are enough for the product to stay in place under its own weight, and two channels with different characteristics give you two modes of use without a single moving part. It’s for you if you have somewhere to store it—dark, cool, lying flat on something soft—and if you’re willing to spend time rinsing and drying it after every use. And it’s for you if you want the most material for your money: 1 101 SEK for five kilos is the lowest point in the entire comparison.

It’s not for you if you want something discreet. This is a product the size of a smaller moving box that can’t be hidden in a dresser drawer and that weighs too much to be moved past on the run-by. It’s not for you if you want vibration or suction—Juicy Sucking Pussy, the 4 kg option, is within the same series. It’s not for you if you require published channel depth and channel diameter before purchase, because the manufacturer does not publish either. It’s not for you if you want a material declaration about phthalates, BPA, and latex in plain text. And it’s not for you if you want to be able to boil or clean an intimate product in the dishwasher—TPE can’t handle heat, and the manufacturer describes the material as flammable.

One last thing belongs in the decision, and it’s about lifespan. A TPE product is a consumable in a way that a silicone product isn’t. The surface softens and becomes sticky, the channels wear down from friction, and discoloration from textiles and sunlight can’t be restored. With good care—water-based lubricant every time, rinsing and drying after every use, maintenance powder, and dark, cool storage—it lasts significantly longer than without it. Without that care, it’s used up quickly. That’s why the manufacturer’s manual, which you can read for free before purchase, is the most valuable source of information specifically about this product.

Warranty, warranty claims, and right of withdrawal

Hidden Desire does not provide a time-specified manufacturer warranty for Juicy Double D. Instead, the manual’s warranty section says three things: check the product for defects before first use, contact the store where you bought it with a valid receipt if you find a defect, and expect the warranty to apply only to unused products— for hygiene reasons, the manufacturer does not accept returns or refunds for used products.

The manual also lists an explicit exception: minor deviations in the surface, such as easily missed discoloration or marks, are not covered. The manufacturer describes them as a result of the extensive molding process and as a unique characteristic rather than a defect. That’s a reasonable disclaimer for a hand-made TPE product of this size, but it’s worth knowing about before opening the package, because it shifts the line for what counts as grounds for a claim.

Hidden Desire also disclaims responsibility for direct, indirect, and consequential damages caused by use or incorrect use. These are standard wording, but in combination with the absence of a warranty period, they mean that the manufacturer’s own commitments in practice are very limited. Compare this with Pipedream, which states a one-year warranty on the corresponding product.

What always applies, however, are your statutory rights, and they are stronger than the manufacturer’s commitment. Under konsumentköplagen (the Swedish Sale of Goods Act), you have three years to file a complaint for defects in the product, regardless of what the manufacturer writes in its manual. For distance purchases, you also have a right of withdrawal for fourteen days under lagen om distansavtal och avtal utanför affärslokaler. Be aware that in practice the right of withdrawal is limited for hygiene products that have been removed from a sealed package — and a product of this kind is just such a case. The right to complain in case of defects, on the other hand, always applies. If you have questions about what applies in your case, Konsumentverket guides you via Hallå konsument.
