On the subject of technological wonders, it’s been a banner year for innovation in the pleasure product industry—a fact evidenced by the nominees for the
s
fifth annual “O” Awards. The contenders in the Outstanding Innovation category represent an inventive assortment of new ideas, as you’ll see below. (To see
nominees in the other 16 categories, go to NoveltyExpo.com and click on “O Awards.”)
Bodywand Aqua | Xgen Products The next big thing in the
Bodywand family is a waterproof wand-style vibrator called
the Bodywand Aqua that is fully submersible and offers 64
functions.
Cascade | LoveLife Products There will be no more fum-
bling around for the lubricant when using this massager.
With the push of a button, lube oozes neatly from its tip,
ensuring friction-free fun.
Gyration Sensations Gyrating Pleasing Flutter | California
Exotic Novelties True to its name, the gyrating motor cre-
ates a pleasing flutter indeed, with a soft, flexible tip that
moves like a tongue on steroids. (See below)
Hello Touch | Jimmyjane Jimmyjane steps up the game on
fingertip vibes. The battery pack stays on the wrist in a
comfortable cuff, while two wires lead to fingertip pads
that turn the hand into a natural vibrator. (See right)
Ida | LELO Worn by the woman during sex, the Ida has a
wide disc that sits outside to stimulate the clitoris while the
insertable stem vibrates and rotates. With LELO’s
SenseMotion technology, patterns of vibration can be
changed via simple movements of the remote.
Marcus London G Watch | Orgasmic Research Based on research
into porn star Marcus London’s method of eliciting female ejacu-
lations, the watch lets the wearer calculate the amount of force
and speed needed to send a woman into ecstasy. (See below, right)
Points of Intrigue | CB-X A leader in male chastity devices, CB-X
Infinít | NS Novelties This unique massager has three inde-
pendent motors powering bendable arms. The Infinít can
be used with the arms together for insertion or separated
and shaped to provide stimulation to other erogenous
zones. (See above, far right)
FEATURE
has stepped things up a notch with Points of Intrigue. Three
semi-circles, each with different point lengths, make the experi-
ence of wearing a chastity device even more intense.
Revel Sonic Vibrator | Revel Body Unlike most vibrators, which
are powered by rotary motors, this spherical massager has a linear
motor with patented TrueSonic technology that offers a greater
range of vibration, less noise, and power levels that match or
exceed those of a plug-in massager.
Sensuelle Impulse | Novel Creations Party Ltd. Like many
massagers, this slimline vibrator widens at the head for G-spot
stimulation. What’s different, though, is a “pearl” in the head to
move back and forth.
Stronic Eins | Fun Factory The Stronic One is the first of three
pulsators that came out in 2013. It looks like other products
from Fun Factory, but the pulsating motor creates pleasure with
10 different thrusting rhythms rather than vibrations.
Sumo | Nobu/Bodi-Spa A rabbit-style vibrator, the Sumo has a
sound response system that increases vibration intensity as ambi-
ent sound or music is detected. (See left)
Verspänken | Big Teaze Toys This stroker allows users to change
out the sleeve for a variety of textures. WaterWieners (purchased
separately) can be warmed in the microwave or cooled in the
fridge for added sensation.
Wake-Up Vibe | Wake-Up Vibe We first were introduced to this
vibrator at the 2013 AVN Novelty Expo and were immediately
charmed. Who wouldn’t want to be awakened by a vibrating
alarm clock tucked inside one’s pajama bottoms? (See above, left)
We-Vibe Thrill | Standard Innovation Equipped with some of the
same G-spot-pleasing attributes of the We-Vibe plus an
ergonomically designed handle, the Thrill is designed for solo
play rather than use by couples.
