Prices jump sometimes—and not just because a brand “went premium.” Materials, freight, and even tariffs in other countries (like the U.S.) can eventually influence what lands on Singapore shelves. Here’s a fast, plain‑English guide so you know when to buy now vs wait.
Quick Takeaways
- Most vulva owners need some form of external (clitoral) stimulation to orgasm; penetration alone often isn’t enough.
- Lube = less friction, more comfort, often more sensation.
- Stress, meds & mental load can slow or block orgasm; you’re not imagining it.
- There’s no correct “time to climax.” Exploration beats expectation.
From Factory to Bedroom: What Builds Price?
Think of price as a stack: Materials → Manufacturing → Quality Testing → Freight → Tariffs / Duties → Distributor → Retail Ops → You. If any layer rises (silicone, shipping fuel, tariffs), future inventory may cost more.
Tariffs 101 (Why U.S. News Matters Even Here)
When the U.S. adds or raises tariffs on goods (for example, certain consumer or electronics categories from major manufacturing countries), global brands sometimes rebalance margins across regions. Wholesale prices can shift—even in markets where local import duty didn’t change—because the cost base moved.
How Tariff Shocks Travel:
- Component cost spread across all global units.
- Production shifts to new factories = smaller runs, higher per‑unit costs.
-
USD billing & currency swings passed through to distributors.
Where Pleasure Products Are Made (Big Picture)
-
China / East Asia: High‑volume silicone molding, small motors, rechargeable manufacturing scale.
-
Europe / U.S. Specialty: Smaller batches, high regulation, premium
-
Multi‑Component Builds: Electronics in one region, silicone shells in another; packaging closer to market to save freight. Complexity = cost variability.
