Yes, I know the charging port is covered supposedly for water resistance, and you can shove the charger in with a bit of force. When I first received the product, this worked just fine. I got it charged up, and was able to use it to clear out a clog. The massaging is OK, but the heat is barely perceptible – just take a hot shower and it’ll do the trick.Cut to a couple weeks later… It was 2am and I had just noticed another clog right after nursing. In the dim illumination of a nightlight, I tried to plug the charger in so I could use the massager in the morning. I struggled for 10 minutes, blistering my hand in the process (yep, already realized at that point that it shouldn’t take THAT much force), to no avail. In the morning, I noticed the little black plastic ring around the plug was deformed – not sure if that happened during the first round of charging or while I struggled the night before, but it shouldn’t have happened either way, after just one use.As for the claim that the silicone has to cover the port to make it waterproof? Look, my phone is IP67 certified and has an exposed charging port. My shaver is similarly water resistant enough for use in the shower, and has an exposed charging port. I have another personal massager, which, you guessed it, is also shower-friendly and doesn’t have a sealed port. So no, you don’t need this obtuse covered charging port for water resistance – that’s just shoddy product design. What an absolute waste of money this was.
