Clandestine Devices unfurled its gorgeous
clitoral vibe, Mimic, in an extravagant booth
reflecting their beautifully different stimulator.
They shared that the show provided an
opportunity to make connections with established
distributors in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, and
they got good feedback on the recently released
product.
Perhaps the most talked-about gizmo at ANE
was the creatively different Cock Cam, a cock
ring mounted video camera so that wearers can
record their very own POV video. Representing
the Channel Islands in Jersey in the United
Kingdom, Harley Woodward said the “show is
really good! It’s opened our eyes and everyone has
been helpful, offering brilliant advice on our new
product.” He continued “It’s been just three weeks
since we released the Cock Cam and we wanted
to get a feeling for the industry. There’s massive
interest in it and we wanted to be here to meet
everyone.”
Of course, new and returning vendors weren’t
restricted to just the B2B AVN Novelty Expo.
Several other vendors in the consumer area of the
AVN Adult Entertainment Expo also felt strongly
about their success at the show.
After exhibiting at the AVN Novelty Expo last
year as a soft launch, Kum Klean Soap returned
this year to exhibit in the Adult Entertainment
Expo before fans. “We are selling our products
to both the consumers and the retailers,” said
Kymberly of Kum Klean Soap. “We are bringing
out a new sanitizer in a silicone dong suction
cup.” Kum Klean also exhibited a Scrub My Kitty
Gift Set with Kitty Kat soap and a custom Scrub
My Kitty Towel.
“We are a made in America company with
handcrafted soaps that are great for personal use
and special occasions,” Kymberly said. “Whether
it’s a night out with girlfriends or a special event
with the guys, Kum Klean will bring a unique
brand of fun and laughter to any adult event.”
The fun and creative company It’s the Bomb
from Scottsdale, Arizona—makers of sexy soaps
and scented bath bombs—chose to exhibit in a
room open to fans because they wanted to sell
directly to consumers at the show. With bath
bombs as the best sellers this time around—the
company had a booth last year as well—It’s the
Bomb sold out of many of its products, including
the goofy Pet Cocks, complete with googley eyes,
and the acrylic penis nightlights.
Santa Fe-based MotorBunny had a huge booth
complete with testers of their ride-on, saddle-
shaped sex seat and light-up bunny ears as a
giveaway. Caleb Thomson exclaimed, “We’re
excited to be here! We never expected the industry
to be so welcoming. We won an “O” Award and
saw online sales shoot up during the show. It’s
awesome and we’ll definitely be back!”
By the end of the show, there were many happy
manufacturers, vendors and buyers already making
reservations for the next show. Make sure you add
it to your busy January schedule!
