dangerouslilly:You may have heard by now that Lelo is partnering with Charlie Sheen, and a lot of people are pissed off about it. I’ve been pissed off at them for 3 years now, chronicling the circus that has been their company ever since some apparent major changes in the company brass. They’ve produced shit toy after shit toy, chock full of gimmicks, crass marketing and just plain weird things. I’ve spent three years warning people about the decline in build quality, and their poor track record with handling valid warranty issues. While I quit working with Lelo directly, I would still occasionally review a product of theirs because many of my readers asked for my opinion. No more. I will never review a Lelo product again. I will go out of my way to recommend other companies. For your consideration a few of those include Je Joue, L’amourose, We-Vibe, Doxy, Fun Factory….well, everything on this list, minus the few Lelo items that are still there until I have time to remove them. I need to find a big, rumbly wand vibrator to replace the Smart Wand Large. I need to find some decent kegel beads, because so far none equal the Luna Beads Original. If you’re an abuse survivor, this move to partner with Sheen is especially disgusting. If you’re not sure what the problem is with a company that produces sexual “wellness” products partnering with Charlie Sheen, perhaps take a look at his track record with how he treats women? And then, let’s take a look at this “revolutionary” latex condom. You can break it, and not even know it’s been broken. COOL STORY BRO. So far, Lelo doesn’t care about us. This, from an industry associate: Publicity is publicity to them – negative doesn’t matter. They referred to sex bloggers and educators who were rightfully questioning their decisions as ‘whiney SJWs’. Our opinions mean zero to them – and in fact, the more we tweet, the more they can say they’re the hottest topics of conversation.They feel they are too big to fall, too trenched in the industry to lose out. The more attention, the better even if it’s folks throwing out their Lelo toys in mass droves and swearing off never working with them again.They. Don’t. Care. There‘s more to that, so read their whole statement here. And maybe let’s show them that this isn’t “good” bad publicity, this is just bad. Stop supporting Lelo. -- source link
