    They’re not more than a new controller for the basic rabbit style vibrating ones. Controllers start around $60 in USA. I could be off, I got two Xbox controllers a few years ago to play couch games via steam, I don’t own a console.

    • Controllers in 2015 were about $40 for a Playstation standard and could get up to $200 depending on the features you wanted (e.g. wireless, self charging, extended range, game domination features, etc.)

      Most people have a $10-$30 market for sex toys until they get serious about it. Kids exploring their bits don’t have any budget at all, and can only get things that pretend to be toys for kids.

      Evidently, it’s appropriate to get your tween a vibrating broomstick (or a bumble ball if you’re a California hippy parent who wants to assure your toddler grows up well-adjusted) but not a vibrating rubber duckie. I’m not fully sure why.

        You can probably get something serviceable in that price range, but tbh the magic wand is about $100 and yeah it’s a “have a job” toy, but it’s the sort of toy that people don’t think of as “seriously getting into sex toys” toy. Though I will say that category does have several subdivisions once you’re in it. There’s a wide gulf between people who have a few vibrators and a strap on and the people who own a sybian

      Presumably Op already have the controller though. Hence the question about how to JO with it instead of asking for suggestions on what vibrator to buy.

        I was kinda talking for the future when it burns out. I don’t think they are normally used in an “on” position for super long periods of time. I could be wrong. But vibrators aren’t super expensive.
