Bodywand Adds Features, UK Distro
Already a top seller for Xgen Products, the Bodywand family of per-
sonal massagers is getting a series of upgrades that should have
fans of wand-style vibrators emitting squeals of delight.
The Bodywand line currently consists of the original plug-in
model, two rechargeable models, and four mini-massagers. The
last major change to the line was the addition of three new pastel
shades. Xgen is again adding new colors—a bold purple and deep
black—and is also rolling out some new features.
The latest model—also a rechargeable vibe—will be equipped
with a new pulsation mode, as well as a scrolling control dial for
adjusting intensity. As it cycles through multiple speeds, the wand
stays whisper-quiet. The massager can also be used while it is
being charged, and battery life is a generous two hours.
Consumers will be attracted by the one-year warranty, and
retailers will like the convenient hang-tab packaging.
In addition, the line is heading across the pond. UK-based
Planet Earth Logistics has inked a deal to distribute the Xgen line.
“Between word of mouth, advertising campaigns and trade
shows, the Bodywand line is seeing exponential growth,” said Xgen
VP Andy Green. “Securing international fulfillment was crucial, and
we couldn’t be happier to be partnered with Planet Earth Logistics.”
Retailers can go to XgenProducts.com or call (877) 450-9436.

Meet the FreeVIBES Family
Fun Factory’s cutest vibrator, the
Yooo, has two new siblings, the Fou
and the UFO. The three models are
known as the FreeVIBES family.
An egg-shaped lay-on vibe, Fou targets specific
erogenous zones. Its deep-frequency vibrations
provide a variety of stimulations from gentle
buzzing to rapid thumping. A flexible groove along
its edge can cradle the nipples, clitoris or labia,
and it’s also perfect for neck massages.
The Fou is waterproof, rechargeable and
comes packaged with a silk pouch for storage.
Priced at $49.99 wholesale, it retails at $99.99.
The UFO is an external vibrator for solo or
couples play, providing spot-on stimulation to
dissolve neck and back tensions, or produce “out
of this world” orgasms.
The ring of the UFO lodges itself between the
vulva and labia for clitoral stimulation, and the
belly of the UFO is designed for external anal
massage. The UFO is priced at $49.99 wholesale
and retails $99.99.
“This line is really fun to sell and appealing to
the consumers. So far in the U.S., this uniform
pricing has allowed retailers to offer bundles with
two or three of the FreeVIBES in it,” Emilie
Rosan, marketing manager, said.
“In stores, on the shelves, those three shapes
together draw a great deal of attention,” said
Sales Director Memo de la Vega.
All FreeVIBES are equipped with the “Magic
Touch” function, which brings the vibes to a light
glow when their controls come in contact with a
hand or body part. Like most other Fun Factory
toys, these vibes are submersible. Orders can be
placed at orders@funfactory.com.
