Silexd Silex-D The Original Dildo 26.6 cm: review

Silex-D The Original Dildo 26.6 cm at a glance — here’s what you get

Silex-D The Original Dildo 26.6 cm is Silexd’s ten-inch model in the The Original series, and the largest size in the brand’s Model 1 line. It’s a realistic dildo with a scrotum and a suction cup base, with no motor, no battery, and no electronics at all. The entire product consists of two materials: a core made of the brand’s patented SILEXPAN® material and an outer casing of platinum silicone. The manufacturer describes the combination as dual density — soft outer, firm inner — and as thermoreactive, which means the material’s hardness changes with temperature.

The manufacturer’s specification looks like this: total length 25 centimeters, insertable length 20 centimeters, diameter 5.4 centimeters, weight 460 grams, and a suction cup base with a diameter of 6.7 centimeters. In the package, you get the product and an instruction sheet—nothing else. The color is called Flesh, and it’s the only one available for this size. In Sweden, the item is sold by five stores at prices between 479 and 699 SEK, and four of them had it in stock at the price check on September 12, 2026.

This review covers exclusively the item with EAN 8433345220970. The number can be verified directly with the manufacturer: in the source page on Silexd’s own product page, both barcode and gtin are listed as 8433345220970, linked to item number 220970. It’s worth checking, because Silexd sells multiple sizes in the same series and several stores list them under almost identical names.

Model 1 10", Model 5, or 26.6 cm — why the product has different names

Few products in this category have as many names as this one. The manufacturer’s current catalog calls it Model 1 10". The Swedish stores Blush Me, SexleksakerOutlet, and Vuxen call it Silex-D The Original Dildo 26.6 cm. Sexonic calls it Silex-D Dildo Model 10 Inch Skin. Intima calls it Dual Density Dildo with balls 27 cm and has given it its own item number 19190. That it’s the same item is clear from the barcode: Sexonic prints EAN13 8433345220970 on its product page, and the same number appears in the product flows of the others.

Also part of the naming confusion is a trail of older product data. The manufacturer’s own main image for the item is still under the file name "22097MODEL510inchesFLESH", meaning Model 5—this was the name the item had before Silexd renamed the assortment. However, the product number 220970 is constant, and it’s the part of the EAN number that follows the company prefix 8433345. What can be established is that nothing in the manufacturer’s specification has changed with the name change—only the label.

Practically, that means one thing when you compare prices: go by the EAN number, not the name. The price difference between the cheapest and most expensive store is 220 SEK for exactly the same item number, and two of the stores sell it under names that do not include the word "Original" at all.

Measurements: 25 cm in the specification, 26.6 cm on the box

Here there is a discrepancy that is worth taking seriously, because it comes directly from the manufacturer. Silexd’s specification table states total length 25 centimeters, and the brand’s own measurement drawing in the product gallery states the same thing: 25 cm (9.8 inches) total length, 20 cm (7.9 inches) insertable length, and 5.4 cm (2.1 inches) diameter. But in the same picture, the product box is visible, and it is printed with the text "10" MODEL 1 — 26.6 Cm."

So there are two different length figures in the same picture, both from the manufacturer. That, in turn, explains why all five Swedish stores state 26.6 centimeters: they have taken the number from the packaging and from the older product sheet, not from the current specification table. The rule that applies here is simple—when the manufacturer’s specification table and the manufacturer’s printed box say different things, the specification table is the newer piece of information, but the discrepancy must be reported. Count on 25 centimeters as the working value and treat 26.6 centimeters as an older figure that has lingered in the retail chain.

The insertable length is more interesting, because that’s where the stores differ from each other. The manufacturer states 20 centimeters. Blush Me, SexleksakerOutlet, and Vuxen all state 17 centimeters. Intima states "about 20 cm" and is therefore the only Swedish store that is in line with the manufacturer. Seventeen centimeters is also exactly the insertable length that Silexd states for Model 1 8", one size smaller in the same series—which suggests that the figure came from the wrong line in a wholesaler’s data sheet and was then copied on between three stores.

The difference between 17 and 20 centimeters is not cosmetic. It is three centimeters, and for a product in this size range, a difference of three centimeters is the gap between deep penetration and something that could become uncomfortable. What can be established is that the manufacturer’s 20 centimeters is the value that matches both the specification table and the measurement drawing, and that is the number you should plan around.

The 5.4-centimeter diameter is consistent across all five stores and the manufacturer, which makes it the most reliable figure in the entire specification. For comparison, the manufacturer states 3.5 centimeters for the smallest model in the series, Model 1 7", 4.7 centimeters for Model 1 9", and 7 centimeters for the largest, Model 15". This item is therefore in the upper middle tier of Silexd’s own range, not at the extreme end.

Material and build quality: platinum silicone over a SILEXPAN® core

Material is the only property of a product intended for contact with mucous membranes that cannot be compensated for with use or care. It determines whether the product is still hygienic after five years, and it determines which cleaning methods are permitted. The manufacturer specifies the material as SILEXPAN® + platinum silicone blend, meaning two materials in the same molded piece.

What SILEXPAN® is, and what the manufacturer says it does

SILEXPAN® is Silexd’s proprietary, patent-protected material. The manufacturer’s product graphics indicate the patent application PCT/ES2018/070561, and the material is described as the core of the product: the part you never touch, but which controls how the entire piece behaves. The manufacturer attributes three properties to SILEXPAN®. The first is shape memory—the material deforms under pressure and returns to its original shape. The second is thermoreactivity—the firmness changes with temperature. The third is stability over time, meaning that, according to the manufacturer, the material retains its shape and response with use without deforming permanently.

The outer casing is what Silexd calls liquid silicone, and the difference from regular molded silicone is described by the manufacturer as tactile: softer and silkier, closer to the skin’s structure. What can be established purely from a technical standpoint is that both materials are non-porous, and that the product therefore has no internal structure in which liquid or bacteria can remain after cleaning. That is the single most important material property in this product category.

The manufacturer adds an environmental mission to the packaging image: the labels ECO FRIENDLY, MINIMUM 72% NATURAL MATERIAL and 100% RECYCLABLE. What “natural material” specifically refers to in a silicone formulation is not specified by Silexd, and the 72 percent figure is not broken down into the included components. It is a marketing label, not a material declaration, and it should be read as such—but it is at least printed with a number, which is more than most in the category do.

Double density in practice: soft outside, firm core

Double density means the product is molded in two different hardnesses in the same piece. The outer layer is soft and pliant, the core is firmer and supports the shape. This construction is used today by several manufacturers, but it differs in principle from a product molded in a single material: a uniform silicone dildo has the same firmness all the way through, which means you can choose between a product that is soft all over or stiff all over.

Silexd’s own material overview clearly lays out the trade-off. Standard silicone describes the material as a step forward compared with porous materials—porous-free, hypoallergenic, and easy to clean—but with the limitation that a uniform density gives the same firmness throughout the piece, which, according to the manufacturer, reduces realism and body fit. It’s a description of a competing material choice, and it should be read with that starting point, but it also accurately describes what the difference consists of.

The practical consequence of double density in a product of this length is that the shaft can bend without breaking. A 25-centimeter-long product with uniform soft silicone would fold under its own pressure; a product of the same length in solid material all the way through would be difficult to control. What can be established is that the design is especially relevant in this size class, significantly more than for a model under 15 centimeters.

Phthalates, porosity, and why the material declaration carries the most weight

Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastic—above all, flexible PVC—pliable. The Swedish Chemicals Inspectorate (Kemikalieinspektionen) describes them as substances that can affect the endocrine system and make reproduction more difficult, and several of them are therefore restricted or banned within the EU in a large number of products. Silexd explicitly states that the product is phthalate-free and certified as body-safe and por-free, and repeats the same thing in its material article.

Silicone doesn’t require phthalate plasticizers to be soft—the softness comes from the polymer’s own structure. That makes a silicone declaration a better message in itself than labels such as TPE, TPR, or “jelly rubber,” which don’t say anything at all about which plasticizers are included. The manufacturer’s own comparison table places PVC, TPE, and TPR as porous materials and states plainly that a porous inner structure traps residue and moisture regardless of how the material is marketed.

That’s also where this product differs the most from its closest price competitor. King Cock 10" Cock from Pipedream is, in practice, the same length class—the manufacturer states 26.2 centimeters—but the material there is given as PVC. A porous material can’t be sterilized and, in the strict sense, can’t be shared between people without a condom. According to the manufacturer, Silexd’s product can be boiled. It’s a real, not cosmetic, difference in what the product can handle over time.

Weight: 460 grams, and what it means for the suction cup

The manufacturer lists the weight as 460 grams. It’s information many manufacturers in the category leave out, and it’s useful for two reasons. The first is that it gives an idea of the amount of material: 460 grams over 25 centimeters is a massive product without voids. The second is that the weight is directly decisive for whether the suction cup works as it should.

Here is a design detail worth noting. Silexd states the suction cup base’s diameter as 6,7 centimeter — and exactly the same 6,7 centimeter is given for Model 1 7", which weighs 251 grams, and for Model 1 8", which weighs 352 grams. So the manufacturer uses the same suction cup size on a product that weighs almost twice as much. The series’ largest model, Model 15", has instead been given a suction cup of 10,7 centimeter, which shows that Silexd scales up the base when the weight becomes large enough — but not at 460 grams.

What this means in practice is that the suction cup’s grip strength per gram is worse on this model than on the smaller ones in the same series. The comparison with Pipedream points in the same direction: King Cock Elite 9", which weighs 498 grams, has a suction plug of 7,8 centimeter, and King Cock 10" Cock, which weighs 793 grams, has 9,2 centimeter. What can be established is that Silexd’s base area is the smallest of the three in relation to weight.

Thermoreactive material: how you control hardness

The function Silexd markets as making it the firmest is the temperature game, and unlike most marketing claims in the category, it is described with numbers. The manufacturer’s own product graphic breaks it down into two modes: softer with heat and firmer with cold. It’s the same material property that gives the SILEXPAN® core its shape memory—only used in two directions.

How do you heat the Silex-D The Original Dildo?

The manufacturer lists two methods and two time limits. Microwave oven for no more than 30 seconds, or immersing in water in no more than 2 minutes. The same two limits are repeated verbatim in the product texts from Blush Me, SexleksakerOutlet, Vuxen, and Intima, which means that the entire Swedish retail chain is based on the manufacturer’s own instructions specifically on this point.

Intima adds a practical observation that isn’t stated by the manufacturer: if the product doesn’t fit in the microwave, the water method is the alternative. It’s a relevant note here, because 25 centimeters is longer than the plate diameter in many smaller microwaves. Laying the product diagonally on the plate also means the heating becomes uneven, since the microwave oven’s field isn’t homogeneous.

The effect of the heating is that the material becomes softer and more pliable. What can be established is that it changes the product’s character more than you’d expect from a temperature adjustment: the same diameter of 5,4 centimeter feels different depending on how much the material yields, and a softer product requires more hand control because it bends more easily.

Cold for firmness — and the only instruction without a time limit

On the other side, the manufacturer states that the refrigerator has no time limit. It is notable that Silexd sets exact maximum times for reheating but none at all for cooling, and that matches how the material works: heat can damage both silicone and the core, but cooling cannot. The manufacturer’s care article makes the same point on the other side and writes that the product does not need to be refrigerated to feel good — cold is a function, not a storage requirement.

When cooling, the material becomes firmer and more stable. The combination with double density means that it is primarily the flexibility of the outer layer that decreases, while the core is already the firmer part. The Blush Me shop text describes cooling as an effect that increases sensitivity, which is a shop formulation and not a technical requirement.

What the manufacturer does not state about reheating

Two things are missing from the documentation and deserve to be stated plainly. Silexd does not publish a maximum material temperature in degrees, and does not provide a power rating for the microwave oven. The time limit of 30 seconds means different things in an oven at 700 watts and an oven at 1,200 watts, and without a degree value it’s not possible to convert the instruction to the oven you actually have. That is the clearest gap in an otherwise unusually well-specified product.

Practical as this may be, it follows from it a simple rule that applies regardless of the manufacturer: always feel the product with your hand before using it after reheating, and do so in several places. Solid silicone conducts heat slowly, which means the surface may feel just right while the material further in is warmer — or vice versa. This is especially true of a piece in this dimension, where the wall thickness is significant.

The suction cup at 6.7 centimeters and what it can handle

The base is a suction cup with a diameter of 6.7 centimeters, and the manufacturer describes it in its functional graphic as a strong suction-cup base for use without hands. The function is simple: pressed against a smooth, airtight surface, it expels the air under the cup, and atmospheric pressure keeps it in place.

Three factors determine whether it works. The surface must be smooth and airtight — tile, glass, painted wood, and enamel work, while porous stone, oiled wooden board, and matting surfaces do not. The cup and the surface must be clean and lightly damp. And the load must be in reasonable proportion to the cup’s area. It’s the third point that’s the weak one here: 460 grams at 6.7 centimeters is a higher load per square centimeter than Silexd themselves apply to the same cup size in their smaller models.

What can be established is that the suction cup becomes more sensitive to the surface the heavier the product is, and that it likely works best horizontally or on a vertical surface with plenty of support, rather than hanging from a ceiling or under a table. The manufacturer does not publish any strength specification for the cup—neither pull force in newtons nor a maximum recommended load—so there is no figure to go by.

Does the Silex-D The Original Dildo work in a strap-on harness?

Intima states that the suction cup base also functions as a fastening in most strap-on harnesses with a fastening ring. This is a store claim, not one from the manufacturer, and it should be read accordingly—but it’s reasonable based on the design, since a flat, wide base is exactly what a harness ring is built to clamp down on.

Two caveats apply. The first is weight: 460 grams at the front end of a harness is a noticeable lever arm, and the harness needs to be properly tensioned for it to work. The second is that Silexd does not state any strap-on compatibility at all—neither which ring diameter the base fits into nor what load the attachment can withstand. So someone who buys the product expressly for strap-on use is buying based on the retailer’s word, not the manufacturer’s.

Cleaning, sterilization, lubricant, and storage

Silexd is unusually thorough when it comes to care—the brand has its own articles on both cleaning and choosing lubricants, which is more documentation than most manufacturers in the category publish. The basic routine is the same in both: rinse in lukewarm water directly after each use, wash with a fragrance-free and alcohol-free neutral soap, rinse until no soap is left, and let it dry completely before putting the product away.

The manufacturer specifically points out that storing it while damp is the most common cause of odors over time. This is a specific and verifiable instruction, and it’s relevant specifically for a product with crevices around the penis and the underside of the suction cup, where water tends to stay standing. Silexd also states plainly that you should never use a dishwasher or a washing machine, and that strong alcohol and solvents can damage the surface.

Boiling for three minutes—the function that distinguishes silicone from TPE

In its material article, Silexd lists two sterilization methods: boiling for three minutes or a chlorine solution diluted to 10 percent. This is by far the single most important practical difference versus cheaper materials, and the reason is simple—a porous product can be cleaned on the surface but never sterilized, because the material itself contains voids.

There seems to be a contradiction between the two instructions that is worth clearing up. The product graphic states that heating in water may not exceed two minutes; the materials section states boiling for three minutes for sterilization. The wording serves different purposes — one applies to heating before use, the other to cleaning — but the time indications point in different directions, and the manufacturer does not explain how the two instructions relate to each other. The cautious interpretation is to stick to the shorter time for heating before use, and to treat boiling as a rare measure.

Practically speaking, sterilizability means two things. One is that the product can be shared between partners in a way that a TPE- or PVC product does not. The other is that it can return to a hygienic starting condition after long storage. It’s a feature that you don’t notice when you buy it, but that determines how long the product is usable.

Which lubricant works with SILEXPAN®?

The manufacturer’s lubricant guide is categorical. Water-based lubricant is recommended as the safest and most versatile choice. Aloe vera-based lubricant is also recommended, with the justification that it lacks irritating additives. Silicone-based lubricant is discouraged — Silexd writes that the risk of surface damage with repeated use is increased, and that the brand recommends the safer alternative as a general rule even though SILEXPAN® according to the manufacturer is formulated to reduce the risk. Oil-based products are also discouraged, both because they leave a greasy film and because they are not compatible with latex condoms.

Silexd adds a piece of advice that is unusually concrete: test a new lubricant on a small, out-of-the-way area of the product, wait a few minutes, and check that the surface feels as usual before using the lubricant fully. It’s a reasonable procedure for a product in this price range, and it takes a couple of minutes.

Storage: Why silicone should not be left touching silicone

The manufacturer’s storage instructions include a detail that rarely appears in store texts: silicone products should not be in direct contact with each other. Silexd states that silicone can react with silicone and recommends that each product be stored separately in its own bag or in its own case. Otherwise, a breathable fabric bag or a box is enough, kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

A note about the delivery belongs here. The manufacturer’s delivery contents consist of the product and an instruction sheet — no storage bag is included. That means the storage solution the manufacturer itself recommends is something you have to figure out on your own, and for a product that is 25 centimeters, it isn’t the smallest bag that’s needed.

"Waterproof" without an IP rating — what it actually means

The manufacturer labels the product as waterproof, both with a property icon on the product side and with the text "Waterproof & easy to clean" on the function graphic. No enclosure rating is published according to IEC 60529, and in this case it is not a shortcoming but a logical consequence of the design: the product has no electronics, no battery, and no openings at all. There is nothing to enclose, and therefore nothing an IP number would describe.

What can be established is that a massive piece of silicone over a SILEXPAN® core, by its very nature, can withstand submersion, and that the manufacturer’s own sterilization instructions — boiling or chlorine solution — assume that the product is completely water-resistant. The practical conclusion is that the entire product can be rinsed under running water and that it works in the shower and bathtub without anything needing to be protected.

That’s also one of the biggest advantages of choosing a product without a motor. A dildo without electronics has no battery that degrades, no charging cable that can get misplaced, no charging port where water can get in, and no buttons that can stop working. Lifespan is determined by the material and nothing else — and in this case the material is platinum silicone, which has no built-in end limit in the same way a lithium cell has.

Silex-D The Original compared with the alternatives

Three comparisons are relevant: against the closest silicone competitor in the same length class, against the cheaper PVC product sold for the same number of centimeters, and against Silexd’s own sibling models. All information below comes from the respective manufacturers’ own specifications, and all Swedish prices from the shops’ product feeds on 12 September 2026.

Against King Cock Elite 9" — same length, heavier, with a warranty on paper

Pipedreams King Cock Elite 9" Silicone Dual Density Cock is the closest equivalent in terms of design: silicone, dual density, penis and suction cup. The manufacturer states total length 24.8 centimeters, insertable length 22.9 centimeters, insertable diameter 5.0 centimeters, suction cup diameter 7.8 centimeters, and weight 498 grams.

Compared with Silexd 25 centimeters, 20 centimeters insertable, 5.4 centimeters in diameter, 6.7 centimeters suction cup, and 460 grams, the picture becomes clear. In practice, the products are about equally long, but King Cock Elite has almost three centimeters more insertable length — so it allocates less of its total length to the base and penis. Silexd, in return, is four millimeters thicker. Pipedream has the larger suction cup despite the weight difference being only 38 grams.

The difference that weighs the most, however, is outside the measurements. Pipedream lists a one-year manufacturer’s warranty on its products. Silexd offers no own time-limited warranty at all, instead referring in its purchase terms solely to the statutory warranty for conformity with the contract under Spanish and European consumer law. On the other hand, Silexd publishes more about the material: patent numbers, sterilization methods, a lubricant guide, and a material comparison. Which of the two weighs more depends on whether you want warranty paperwork or a care sheet.

Against King Cock 10" Cock — the same centimeter measurements, completely different material

Pipedream’s original King Cock 10" Cock is the product that most often shows up next to this one in searches, because the centimeter measurements are close to each other: the manufacturer states an overall length of 26.2 centimeters and an insertable length of 23.7 centimeters. It’s also significantly thicker, with an insertable diameter of 6.2 centimeters, and it has a suction cup that’s 9.2 centimeters in diameter and 2.5 centimeters high.

But the material is different. Pipedream lists PVC. It’s a porous material that can’t be sterilized, and the difference versus Silexd platinum silicone over the SILEXPAN® core is the most decisive in the entire comparison—bigger than the extra 3.7 centimeters of insertable length that King Cock offers. Weight also differs significantly: 793 grams versus 460, i.e. 72 percent more, which explains the much larger suction cup.

The conclusion is straightforward. If you want maximum insertable length and thickness per SEK, King Cock 10" is the way to get there. If you want a material that can be boiled, has no porous inner structure, and can be shared between people with reasonable hygiene, then Silexd is the only one of the two options that meets the requirement. It’s a material choice, not a size choice.

Against Silexd’s own sibling models: 9", 8" and 15"

Within Silexd’s own lineup, the step down is Model 1 9" with an overall length of 23 centimeters, an insertable length of 18 centimeters, and a diameter of 4.7 centimeters. The difference versus the 10-inch model is therefore two centimeters in overall length, two centimeters in insertable length, and seven millimeters in diameter. Seven millimeters in diameter is more noticeable than two centimeters in length, and it’s that figure that should determine the choice between the two.

One step further down is Model 1 8": 20.5 centimeters total, 17 centimeters insertable, 4.5 centimeters in diameter, and 352 grams. It’s the model whose insertable length, 17 centimeters, judging by everything, ended up in the spec sheets of three Swedish stores for the 10-inch model. Going up from there is Model 15" with 38 centimeters total, 29 centimeters insertable, 7 centimeters in diameter, and a suction cup of 10.7 centimeters—a product in a completely different category, which the manufacturer also only lists SILEXPAN® for, without the silicone blend.

What can be established from the series as a whole is that Silexd scales the diameter in step with the length, and that this article is right where the curve starts to become steep. If you’re unsure whether 5.4 centimeters is the right choice, the 9-inch model with 4.7 centimeters is the safer option, and the price difference between the sizes at Swedish shops is small compared to the difference in how they work.

Price range: 479 to 699 SEK at five shops

Five Swedish shops sell the item with EAN 8433345220970. The cheapest are Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet at 479 SEK each, followed by Vuxen at 487 SEK. Sexonic is at 579 SEK and Intima at 699 SEK. It is 220 SEK, or 46 percent, between the cheapest and the most expensive for the exact same item number and the same packaging.

Stock status was unusually good during the price check: four of the five shops had the product in stock, and the three cheapest were all among them. That means the price spread in this case is real and not an effect of cheap shops simply being out of stock — the person who compares actually saves the 220 kronor.

One discrepancy should be noted. Sexonic was marked as out of stock in the product flow, while the shop’s own product page at the same time indicated nine units in stock and the status InStock in its structured data. Which of the details was the current one cannot be determined from the sources, but since the shop is a hundred kronor above the cheapest, it changes nothing for the person choosing based on price. Intima also states its own stock in connection with its physical store in Norrköping, which is relevant for someone who wants to pick up instead of having it shipped.

For comparison, the manufacturer itself states the list price as 64.90 euros including VAT in its own web store. It’s a reference point and not a Swedish price — shipping, currency, and shop margin differ — but it shows that the Swedish shops’ lower price range is below the manufacturer’s own list price, which is not always the case in this category.

The prices in the table above are updated when the shops’ product feeds are updated, but always check the final price at the checkout. Shipping costs are added at most shops under a certain order value, and in this price range several shops are below the threshold for free shipping.

Who is the Silex-D The Original Dildo for—and who isn’t it for?

It suits you if you know you want a large, realistic model and if you prioritize the material over the centimeters. Platinum silicone over a SILEXPAN® core, pore-free and sterilizable by boiling, is a better material choice than practically anything else sold in the same size class for under five hundred kronor. It suits you if you want to be able to change the product’s firmness depending on your mood, because the temperature function is real and described with time indications from the manufacturer. And it suits you if you want to skip electronics altogether: no battery, no charging cable, nothing that stops working after two hundred charging cycles.

It doesn’t suit you if you’re looking for maximum insertable length per krona—there, both King Cock Elite 9" and King Cock 10" offer more insertable length from a similar total length. It doesn’t suit you if you’re going to use it the most in a sling or hanging on a vertical surface, because the suction cup of 6.7 centimeters is the same as on the series’ models that are half as heavy. It doesn’t suit you if you require a time-limited manufacturer warranty before buying, because Silexd doesn’t state any. And it doesn’t suit you if you’re unsure whether 5.4 centimeters in diameter is right—then the sister model at 4.7 centimeters is the more reasonable first step.

One more thing belongs in the decision. The product is delivered without a storage pouch, even though the manufacturer itself recommends storing silicone products separately in their own bag or their own case. At 25 centimeters and 460 grams, it’s not something you can solve with a regular toiletry bag, and that cost should be included in the total.

Warranty, warranty claims, and right of withdrawal

Silexd does not publish its own time-limited manufacturer warranty. The brand’s purchase terms instead refer to the statutory warranty for conformity with the contract under Spanish and European consumer law, and state that depending on the circumstances, SILEXD offers repair, replacement, a price reduction, or rescission with full reimbursement. The terms expressly exclude damage due to improper use, use in violation of the care instructions, normal wear and misuse.

The comparison with Pipedream is enlightening: the King Cock series has a one-year manufacturer warranty stated on the product page. One year isn’t much, but it is a figure. What can be established is that the person who buys Silexd can rely entirely on legislation, not on a manufacturer warranty promise.

Legislation, however, goes a long way in Sweden. Under the Swedish Consumer Sales Act, you have three years to make a claim for defects in the item, regardless of what the manufacturer promises, and that right is directed at the store you bought from—not at Silexd in Spain. For distance purchases, you also have a right of withdrawal for fourteen days under the Swedish Act on Distance Contracts and Contracts Outside of Business Premises.

Be aware that in practice the right of withdrawal is limited for hygiene products that have been removed from a sealed package. Silexd’s own terms state the same exception with reference to Article 16(e) of Directive 2011/83/EU and specify that returns must be made in the original packaging with an unbroken seal. However, the right to complain about defects always applies, regardless of the seal. If you have questions about what applies in your case, Konsumentverket can guide you via Hallå konsument.
