Syn models – horrible plastic smell out of the box – normal?

After owning several of the standard white models I’ve ordered and just received the MGX Syn. While all the white models had almost no smell at all on arrival this new Syn smells horrible. Not like typical adult toy smell, not like the typical silicone smell… it’s different but just bad.

Has anyone had similar experiences or were all your Syns originally maybe even not smelly at all?

Afraid of using a (MGX) Syn – does it break easily?

I have quite a few of Aneros’ products and am interested in getting the MGX Syn – as the normal MGX is my favorite.

But considering measurements are the same the plastic unterneath the silicon should be quite flimsy when it comes to the arms… so I’m afraid that the arms would snap off – worst case scenario both of them, making a visit to the ER necessary. Because how else would you get that torpedo out again without injuring yourself. And considering the Syn would be – by far – the most expensive one… I don’t know.

What’s you guy’s experience with the Syn line, is it prone to break or just as sturdy as the normal ones?

(I tend to insert it, then sit down on the bed and lay down. So there is a moment I’m sitting on it, even though it’s not on a hard surface.)

Boiling water to sterilize Aneros?

TL/DR: Can I sterilize classic white material Aneros with boiling water? For how long would I need to cook it to get it sterile but without it bending?

Today I’ve received a “new” Aneros from Amazon which was packaged extremely untypically and to make it very short it very obviously had been opened before and actually carelessly repackaged before being sent to me.
Curiosity got the better of me so I actually took a hesitant sniff from “far” away since it at least looked clean (without taking it out of the box). And all I could smell was the typical box smell.

Either way, that delivery was unacceptable and I contacted Amazon about it. The guy on the phone had a heavy accent and besides apparently not comfortable with products of that type I’m not sure if he understood the issue in the first place.
He put me on hold for a few minutes and when getting back to me he offered a partial refund – which I declined, of course.
He offered two more options: Return it to get it replaced or get a refund and keep it (to possibly buy a new one).
Since the easiest way for me was the last option I chose that.

Helix Trident worth the surcharge over Helix Classic?

As some might now, a few days ago I made a post in regards of deciding which model to go for (Classic, Syn, Trident) and I decided to go for the Trident just because of the more round tabs.

So I was just looking for prices and I could get the Classic for 35€ on Amazon Marketplace while the cheapest price there for the Trident is 45€. Budget-wise that’s quite a difference (for me at least) and I’m wondering: Is the Trident really worth that surcharge?

And I’m also kinda wondering how big the chances are to get a Chinese knock-off product instead. Are there known cases where people got copies instead of the real thing? I would hate having the “handle” break off and not getting it out anymore without help.

Any opinions are welcome!

Helix: Sin? Classic? Trident? – I’m confused

An old friend of mine recently told me about a toy an ex-lover of her enjoyed using since it always made him cum quite hard and quickly. Being very open minded myself and knowing that I can enjoy certain stimulation (though I hardly have any experiences in these regards) and also due to the fact that it always takes me (much too) long to finish, I got curious what toy this might have been. Together we found out, that it must have been a Aneros product.

To get to the point of this post, I’m interested in buying one for myself (for using it by myself). Seems like the Helix is the way to go (at least that’s seems to be the one suggested the most – or should I pick another one?) but I’m confused about which version of it I should get. So I’m wondering, what the latest and greatest?

If I’m not completely off then the classic seems to be the oldest one, then the Sin and the “Trident” seems to be the newest iteration. (Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.) Does this mean though that the Helix Trident is the best of the three? Or doesn’t it really matter? What’s the pros/cons of the three?

Also, I’m… well, lets just say I’m a big guy. But because of that, I’m also not the most flexible person and have my limitations in reach. Will I run into problems when it comes to inserting/removing it myself? I got no issues wiping myself – but that’s different from using such a toy… I guess?
