This risque little piece didn’t get any pick-up, so I thought I’d bung it on here.
A sex toy manufacturer now offers insurance for broken and STOLEN vibrators.
Womanizer, working with tech insurer hepster, offers an annual policy for its premium adult toys for £17.
The idea was born when a hepster employee had her sex toys swiped on holiday.
Hepster co-founder Hanna Bachmann said: “The idea for sex toy insurance came to us when one of our colleagues told us about the unfortunate end to her surfing vacation.
“On the last evening of her trip, she and her friends were celebrating with another group of girls in her hotel room.
The Womanizer
“Once everybody had left, she realized someone had stolen her Womanizer. At first this made us all laugh, but after looking closer, we saw an obvious problem had been revealed.
“Even when the Womanizer is covered by the warranty against damages, a protection against unforeseen issues like theft is missing.
“The loss of an item can hurt a lot, especially with sex toys, which often sit in a mid to high price range.
“So, with that came the idea of the first insurance for sex toys in the world.”
The policy works like mobile phone insurance to protect against damage, destruction and theft – including improper handling like the use of the wrong lubricant.
The scheme is being released in Germany as a trial before a global release.
“We often have customers write to us, whose Womanizers have met an unfortunate end through external, often bizarre, incidents—for example, chewed up by a dog," added Johanna Rief, head of communications at Womanizer.
"All of these cases were not covered by the warranty. We had already been considering the integration of insurance-based protections.
“When hepster got in contact with us, we were enthusiastic about the idea and the chance to work together. That was the birth of our sex toy insurance.”

Victoria, 29, wrote in a testimonial:
“My dog Rambo lived with me for several years before the Womanizer moved in.
Rambo is my best friend and the most faithful and reliable companion I have ever had in my life, but he has a quirk - he hates sex sounds.
“Every time it gets louder, he yells, howls, barks, and chews my shoes.
“Rambo had to go down the hall. He raged there a few times, but eventually accepted his fate. So far so good.
“But one evening I was looking for my Womanizer and I was absolutely sure that I had left it on my dresser.
“When I vacuumed the apartment the next day and moved Rambo's basket, I found my Womanizer, littered with bite marks.
“So Rambo got his way in the end. At least for a short time.”
