PLEASURE PRODUCTS
Glas Collection Debuts at ILS
The Glas collection of pleasure products made its U.S. debut at
the spring edition of the International Lingerie Show in Las Vegas.
The Glas collection is a 24-piece value-priced assortment of
hand-crafted borosilicate
glass dildos and butt plugs
featuring artistic shapes
and eye-catching colors.
Among the many
benefits of the Glas
collection is that each
model is non-porous,
making it easy to clean
with soap and water.
Additionally, borosilicate
glass can be heated with
hot water or cooled by
putting it into the freezer.
And its sleek surface
requires less lubricant
compared to other
materials.
On the business front,
the Glas Collection’s
benefits retailers with affordable pricing starting at $6.25.
Distributors receive up to 40 percent off the already low cost.
“What really makes the line special is the price,” company
owner Elan Rofe said. “Many retailers shy away from the glass
category completely, but our line makes glass a bestseller at any
retailer because of the value. Value is defined as what you get for
your money. Customers that are first-time users of glass products
do not want to spend $40 or more to try out glass products. Many
of our items can retail for under $19.99 and give the retailer a very
healthy margin.”

construction and approachable design that
captures the romantic side of BDSM.
The Greygasms collection makes it easy for

masks, silk sashes, restraints and more they’ve
learned about from their favorite erotic stories. The
line’s packaging and merchandising entices
shoppers to take a closer look and enjoy a sultry
fairytale on each box.
“We created this line knowing that many, if not
most, Greygasms consumers are new to this side
of sex play but intrigued by the erotic themes of
recent popular fantasy romance novels and films,”
XR Brands General Manager Randy Alvstad said.
“We married their favorite dark romance themes
with BDSM essentials like silk sashes, ball gags,
restraints and massage candles to give fans exactly
what they’re looking for.”
Greygasms features 26 premium product
designs with more planned for debut later this
year. Popular items include the silk tie, sashes,
kegel balls and a variety of blindfolds and masks.
“Our design team took time to research our
target consumer and truly get to know the
characters in the fan fiction and erotic series that
have inspired shoppers around the world,” XR
Brands Brand Manager Michael Merrill said. “This
ensured we released the most comprehensive and
thoughtful collection without pigeon-holing
ourselves into a specific category. And to sweeten
the deal we adorned each package with an
arousing quote from the father of erotic arts, the
Marquis de Sade.”
