PicoBong Debuts Power Up Series PicoBong has
released its Power
Up Series, offering
more powerful
versions of the
brand’s popular
massagers. The
series is designed to
give first-time
buyers more
choices.
Many first-time
buyers will opt for a
cheaper toy,
thinking that they
shouldn’t invest a lot
of money until
they’re able to try
some things out and
discover what they
like. Recognizing
that buying a vibrator for the first
time can be overwhelming—there
are so many different designs, uses,
materials and price points—PicoBong
has come up with new items that the
company believes is the ideal
solution to the problem.
Reps at PicoBong asked, “Why
shouldn’t a first experience with a
sex toy be a great one?” To make
that happen, the company took
some of its tried-and-true designs—
Tano, Ipo, Kiki, Mahana and Honi—
and doubled the power.
While still just as petite and
discreet (all these pint-size
massagers max out at 50 dB),
PicoBong improved the motor for a
more intense experience.
With 12 vibration patterns to
explore solo or with a partner, these
waterproof vibes can be a good fit
not just for newbies, but seasoned
players as well.
The Honi 2 is a bullet-shaped
vibrator designed for those who like
focused or broad external
stimulation and/or G-spot
stimulation, as well as using sex toys
in public. With a plastic retrieval cord
and whisper-quiet vibes, it offers
G-spot stimulation when worn in
public or the bedroom. Measuring
just about 3 inches, Honi 2 offers a
variety of sensations from its 12
vibration patterns.
Ipo 2 is a bullet-
shaped slip-on finger
vibe for people who
like broad or focused
external stimulation
for themselves or
their partner. Slipped
over the pointer or
middle finger (with a
little water-based
lubricant), Ipo 2 puts
pleasure at one’s
fingertips during
solo or partnered
play. Ipo 2’s smooth
curves and 12
vibration patterns
can be used to tease
external erogenous
zones like the clitoris
or perineum.
Tano 2 is a vibrating butt plug with
handle base. The Tano 2 is for those
who like prostate massage and anal
stimulation in private or public. The
sleekly designed anal sex toy now
packs twice the power in its 12
vibrating patterns. Perfect for
beginners and more experienced
pleasure-seekers alike, its angled
design provides intense prostate
massage while the flared base and
handle offers total peace of mind.
Kiki 2 is a mini vibrator with
sculpted flat tip. Those who enjoy
broad external stimulation will find
the Kiki 2 a good discreet vibrator
for packing in a pocket, purse or bag
while on the go. Just 4 inches long,
this may be a pocket-sized vibe, but
it’s designed to pack a big punch.
With a gentle curve and flattened
tip, it’s for precise clitoral stimulation.
Mahana 2 (pictured above) is a
duo-vibe with two vibrating arms for
people who like external and
internal stimulation at the same time.
Mahana 2 is an duo-vibe with two
motors inside its body, offering
mind-blowing pleasure in stereo.
Make each arm vibe in sync or
independently from each other, so
no need to choose from an innie or
an outtie vibe because Mahana 2
provides the best of both worlds.

Metro Handling Distribution for Cloud 9
Metro Distributors has entered into an exclusive North American
distribution arrangement with PAIT Solutions, LLC to supply the Cloud 9
aphrodisiac drink to industry retailers.
The drink represents the first mass-market beverage of its kind, according
to Metro.
“Cloud 9 is something we are very excited about,” said Alexander Guarino,
director of business development at Metro. “We are talking about a
mainstream, mass-market enhancement drink that has a primary application
within our industry. That is a first.”
Cloud 9 blends a proprietary mix of vitamins and extracts to produce a
lightly carbonated, zesty and fruity combination. The drink is designed to
stimulate and enhance mood, promoting seductive energy and boosted
libido for the consumer, according to Metro.
Metro’s National Sales Director Carmen Garcia remarked, “The timing
couldn’t be better for the industry. Adult retailers are searching for ancillary
revenue opportunities. This product does not compete with or cannibalize
anything our customers are already selling. Plus, it will sell on a repeat basis.
Finally, the margins will be among the best on our customers’ shelves. You
could call it a triple threat.”
Cloud 9 will be nationally advertised and available in restaurant, bar and
nightlife spaces where it will be featured as a premium-level enhancement
drink and mixer for adding flavor and “sensual sensation” to alcoholic
beverages.
John Holohan, CEO of PAIT Solutions, formerly served as senior vice
president and chief information officer at Toys-R-Us. Holohan has secured
distribution for Cloud 9 in more than 25 countries.
“We expect to define an entirely new segment with Cloud 9,” Holohan
said. “The premium enhancement drink market is poised for massive growth
in the coming years and positioning ourselves with an adult industry leader
was critical. We had options, but Metro was the obvious choice and we are
thrilled to be in business with them.”
Cloud 9 is now in stock and available for order
through MetroB2B.com and also through Metro’s sales
teams on both coasts. In-store displays and custom
coolers (pictured below) are available as well.
