Company founder Steven Callow pointed out other new
items from Perfect Fit. “We have the new Zoro lineup—we’ve
expanded it and built on the success of the original,” Callow
said about the strap-on product. “The main difference is that
it uses leg straps instead of the thong-style butt strap, so it
gives a little more support to the product as well.” The Zoro
comes in two sizes, 5.5 inch and 6.5 inch. And there are two
styles: black, which is made of silicone, and clear, which is
Perfect Fit’s silicone and TPR blend.
Callow also is pumped about Perfect Fit’s new Collections.
“We took the best sellers of all our series,” he said. The
SiliSkin kit, for instance, features the Bull Bag, which Callow
says “is really insanely popular right now. ... And this is
our Anal Fetish Collection. We call it fetish because all our
anal products are a little more extreme, not really for the
beginner.”
Callow added, ‘It’s some really fun products and really
great value price” that represents about a 30 percent savings
over buying each item individually. The Collections are
brand-new, and Perfect Fit is “just prototyping the boxes to
see what sort of feedback we got. We’ve received some very,
very large orders for them, so it’s a done deal. These are
going to fly off the shelves.”
Sportsheets also had crowds gathering at its booth in
the main room as reps showed off the new Midnight by
Sportsheets collection. Each item in the collection falls in
line with Sportsheets’ commitment to quality, but these
versions are just as beautiful as they are functional.
“This line is very blinged out,” said Joanne Queenin,
executive administrator. “Some of the items are to be treated
like jewelry just as much as a BDSM item.”
A subset of the collection features nipple clamps, some
adorned with double rows of pearls and others with clear
sparkling gems.
Several pieces in the line—the Lace Paddle, Lace Crop,
Lace Cuffs, Lace Blindfold and more—feature a fabric that
has the look of lace, but the pattern is printed directly on it,
so there is no fear of snagging or ripping, Queenin noted.
Every item also features extra details Sportsheets is known
for: double elastic straps on the Lace Blindfold, finished
edges on the paddle and crop, a 30-inch heavy chain on
the Lace Collar and Leash and more. The new collection is
expected to start shipping in September.
In the Jimmyjane booth, visitors were treated to a first
look at the new Ascend line under the manufacturer’s Live
Sexy banner. Another range of mid-tier vibrators, the Ascend
collection debuts with four SKUs: The Ascend 1, a lay-on

style massager that has a notch at the tip that can hug the
clitoris; Ascend 2, which looks like the popular Form 2 vibrator
with longer “ears”; Ascend 4, a massager that resembles a hand-
held dumbbell; and Ascend 8, which features two egg-shaped
massagers at either end of a flexible silicone strand.
Sir Richard’s Condoms—which falls under the Diamond
Products family of manufacturers with Jimmyjane and
Pipedream Products—debuted the Element line. The collection
marks the move by the condom company into creating pleasure
devices and more for men. The first products in the line are the
Element MS (masturbation sleeve), the Element PM (prostate
massager) and the Element CR (cock ring).
There were new condoms showcased at ANME as well. Paradise Marketing owner Dennis Paradise was
inflating models of the Okamoto Mega Big Boy extra-large condoms to show just how big these condoms
are. Made from Sheerlon, a material thinner than regular latex, the condoms are 5mm larger than regular
sizes, offering a comfortable fit with no chemical latex odor.
Over at the PicoBong booth, sales reps had models of the Lelo Hex condom on display. LELO Hex
integrates 350 individual hexagons through its ultra-thin latex surface to help it perform differently from
other condoms today. The LELO Hex design combines a hexagonal web with ultra-thin 0.45mm latex
panels for thinness and strength combined. This allows Hex to adapt to the unique shape of the wearer.
With the new E.L. James movie, Fifty Shades Darker, due to come out in February 2017, there was no
shortage of BDSM gear on display at the show. Of note was the new Vondage line of vegan bondage
gear from Stockroom, which was on display alongside other popular items from the kink manufacturer,
including Joanna Angel’s branded Stockroom line. And Lovehoney featured two new Fifty Shades Darker
collections the new Motorhead line, which features four classic torpedo-shaped and bullet vibes.
Speaking of bullet vibrators, the tried-and-true favorite could be found everywhere at ANME. VeDO
offered the Bam rechargeable silicone bullet, available in three colors with ten vibration molds. Nu
Sensuelle offered new takes on its powerful bullets. Screaming O offered Soft-Touch Voom! Bullets.
Guz B. of Femme Funn was particularly fired up about his company’s new bullet: the all-silicone
Ultra Bullet, which runs on a lithium polymer battery. “Not a single piece of this toy has plastic in it,”
he said. “Click away to your favorite mode—there’s 20 modes of vibration to this. It’s waterproof and
submersible. And rechargeable. To top it all off, it is super powerful and very quiet. ... It’s our first day of
shipping these items, and we are shipping them like mad.”
Also showcasing a new bullet was Nobü Toys, among many other new items, including the Soso rabbit-
style vibrator and prostate stimulators for men. Sharing booth space with Nobü was Bonnie Rotten Toys,
which featured new items molded from the popular adult star.
The lubricant product category was also hopping. Among the new items, Sliquid introduced a glass
bottle with a pump for Sliquid’s Silver lubricant; the packaging will begin shipping in October. Wicked
Sensual Care displayed its newest formula: a hybrid water-based and silicone lubricant. Pjur showed the
water-based lubricant and cleaner that it has co-branded with We-Vibe. System JO brought out its Gelato
line, with five flavors: Hazelnut Espresso, Creme Brûlée, Salted Caramel, Tiramisu and Mint Chocolate.
Other standouts at the B2B trade show included Impulse Novelties’ release of the Sofia Duo G, a
manager that can bend to stimulate the G-spot and clitoris at the same time, and Kama Sutra’s Rhythm
line, marking the veteran sensual body products manufacturer’s foray into sex toys. Rhythm features five
SKUs of pleasure products made from silicone and boasting powerful motors.
