Tantus' Original Bullet Vibe
Available tor Individual Purchase
Tantus Inc., the pleasure products manufacturer known for
superior silicone dildos, has its 3-Speed Original Bullet
vibe available for individual purchase.
Compatible with any toy that takes a
standard bullet vibrator, the Tantus vibe
delivers an extensive array of
sensations from base to its tapered tip,
and is waterproof. The bullet has a
push-button control at the base and
requires one N1 battery.
“Previously Tantus' 3-Speed Original
Bullet was only available in a POP
display. Having the option to cross-
merchandise and replenish orders with
individual bullets will not only help
retail stores generate substantially
greater sales, but it will also help
smaller retail stores fulfill their
customer demands,” said Senior
Account Manager Rita Healy.

fun with Tantus’ 3-Speed Original Bullet. For more

Pjur Showcases Its New Sexy Six
Pjur reps have returned from a successful showing at AdultEx, where the
manufacturer took home the award for Best Lubricant Range. The company also
took the occasion as a chance to launch the Sexy Six, five lubricants and a spray.
There are two water-based anal lubricants, Backdoor Comfort Glide and Analyse
Me! Comfort Glide; two double-effect glides, Espresso with stimulating caffeine and
Cool with menthol; the soothing After Shave Spray; and the neutral lubricant pjur
Woman Nude, which is free of preservatives, parabens and glycerin.
“The feedback was overwhelming,” said Alexander Giebel, CEO and founder of
pjur group who had been at AdultEx together with pjur’s sales manager Katrin
Kühnrich. “The products appeal to new target audiences, but they also represent
perfect additions to the established pjur top-sellers.”
The new products were introduced in a visual presentation that used an
innovative software program. There was lots of applause for product videos
showcasing Woman Nude, Espresso and Cool that were incorporated in the
presentation.
pjur’s product information videos not only are produced for presentation purposes such as this, but also
as a tool for the customers of every store or online shop. They convey the basic product qualities and
show the target audience in situations everybody can relate to. All the clips are made available to the
trade upon the placement of an order.
Another highlight of the trade show was the award bestowed upon the pjur med line. The lubricants of
this line are based on natural and nature-identical ingredients, and they won the AdultEx award for the
best lubricant range.
“We are very proud to have received this award,” said Giebel. “Because it shows that our extensive
research in the field of naturalness and sustainability pays off. Today, more and more customers want
natural products, also when it comes to erotic products. Our pjur med line caters to this demand, so we
are very happy to receive this kind of recognition.”

Eupho Syn From Aneros Now in Stores
The Eupho Syn from Aneros is finally hitting store shelves. The prostate
PLEASURE PRODUCTS
massager debuted in April at the International Lingerie Show in Las
Vegas.
The massager is an updated version of the popular Eupho Classic.
“Eupho is a popular classic, and the Eupho Syn is a natural
extension of that tradition,” said Aneros CEO CT Schenk. “Eupho Syn
was carefully refined for comfort and performance to create a new
level of pleasure. Because of its low
profile and extra mobility, Eupho
Syn is also perfect for use during
intercourse, as well as a wide
variety of positions, while enjoying it
alone.”
Aneros’ Eupho Syn is the
synthesis of the Eupho Classic with
velvet touch silicone. Eupho Syn
maintains the slim design and
small head of the Classic, allowing
for more targeted massages. The
familiar perianal stimulator ball and handle design still have the same
solid inner core, but the addition of silicone gives it a resiliency that
fans of Aneros products will appreciate. Increased comfort is also
derived from the thick silicone coating, which leads to more
pleasurable prostate experiences.
Eupho Syn is designed for men with stronger sphincter muscles,
who can control the massaging capabilities through varied
contractions. Even the most experienced users of prostate massagers
will discover new sensations by exploring their body with Eupho Syn.
In 2012, Aneros released the first Syn variation of one of its
massagers, the Helix Syn. The silicone-enhanced prostate massager
became Aneros’ best-selling product of the year.

Date, Location Set for CatalystCon West
CatalystCon, a conference designed to spark communication in sexuality, returns to the West
Coast this fall, taking place Sept. 27-29 at the Warner Center Marriott in Woodland Hills, Calif.
Founder Dee Dennis said the conference will bring together hundreds of sex educators, sex
workers, health advicates, writers, activists and more for the event, which she describes as a
“melting pot of sexuality.”
CatalystCon West will feature 40 sessions and workshops on sexuality-based topics like
"toxic toys," polyamory, sex work, homophobia in communities of color and feminist porn.
Author, sex educator and radio host
Tristan Taormino will be bringing her
radio show, Sex Out Loud , to
CatalystCon West and will be recording
interviews with speakers and attendees in front of a live audience. She will also be presenting
a pre-conference workshop Sex Educator Boot Camp on Friday. Both events were met with
rave reviews at CatalystCon East.
"CatalystCon brings together a vibrant, active group of sex-positive people from all different
communities and industries," Taormino said. "It's an exciting event that I just can't miss!"
The Closing Keynote Afternoon Tea with Dr. Joycelyn Elders will feature remarks from the
former Surgeon General of the U.S. Public Health Service under President Clinton, followed by
an informal interview of Elders by Lynn Comella.
"Last year I attended the inaugural CatalystCon West as a speaker. I'm thrilled to not only
attend again this year, but to host an afternoon tea with one of my idols," said Comella, a
women's studies professor at UNLV. "What I love most is that CatalystCon brings a diverse
group of people together over the course of a weekend to discuss, debate and think about
issues that matter deeply to many of us, from sex education and healthy relationships to sex
worker rights and censorship."
Four sponsors from CatalystCon East—Sportsheets International, Tantus, Wet International
and Sex Out Loud with Tristan Taormino—have already committed to sponsoring CatalystCon
West.
"CatalystCon West 2013 will be our third CatalystCon sponsorship," said Tantus President
and founder Metis Black. "Sponsorship at CatalystCon isn't a vending opportunity; it's a chance
to talk with peers and experts, hear their voices and ideas and share common ground."
For information on how to become a sponsor, visit CatalystCon.com/sponsor. To register, go
