Hey guys,
i just ordered a Aneros Helix Syn from amazon and to be honest, i was not sure about the order so i tried to cancel the order. unfortunately it didnt work, so today i received my package with the aneros helix syn. So far so good, normally its totally easy to send a package back to amazon and you get your money back, so i wanted to print the retoure translucent. It wasnt possible. I began to chat with a guy from the amazon support and asked if there is a possibility to send it back and get my money back. (I ordered it for 48 € which is very cheap here in Germany, normally its about 60-70 €). He told me I dont have to send it back and I’ll also get my money back and can do whatever I want with the Aneros – I can keep it or throw in the trash. I was surprised and felt lucky.
tbh: its the first time something like that happened to me.
SO i opened the Anerox Helix Syn and it was shrik wrapped in a plastic foil. inside there was the typical Aneros Box.
When i opened the Box the Helix was inside, but it was not in a foil or something like that. Is that normal?
I am wondering now if I have a fake product and maybe that why i cant send it back? i got suspicious because the aneros was just not covered in a plastic foil. normally dildos and other sex toys are covered in such a foil so you know by opening that no one else has opened it before, its normally a sign of hygiene. But i never bought a Aneros toy before so i wanted to ask if your aneros toy was also not covered in a special foil?
Cheers and have a nice day!

I’ve gotten several aneros products and none are wrapped in anything – just the box. However, many recommend that sex toys not be bought on amazon or Ebay for several reasons – see r/sextoys. The reasons being forgeries and used toys.
That said it’s fairly common for companies not to take back unwanted product – below a certain price point it’s not cost effective to deal with the return. Also due to the nature of the product they may not want it back as it may now be used – so consider that a plus.
I believe you can flame test to determine if it’s really silicone and kinda look at the product/packaging to see what the quality is. If it checks out clean it with a 10% bleach solution for 10 minutes. I’ve had luck boiling it also for 5-10 minutes but be careful as lesser well made plastic items have deformed on me.
My Aneros Progasm was not shrink wrapped.
I think if you boil it first you will be fine to use it. I’ve had mine for years with no issues.
None of mine have had it and I’ve bought a Progasm, Helix, Helix Syn, Eupho trident and Maximus trident
I just bought two Helix Syn and Progasm directly from Aneros and neither were wrapped
