Pipedream Products will soon add to the existing Icicles
collection with anal plugs and new colors. Also adding new items
is the Crush collection, which offers silicone battery-operated
vibrators for an MSRP below $40. The bright, jewel-tone colors of
the Crush items make them a perfect starting point for anyone’s
toy collection.
The King Cock collection is also adding new items, including
some of its most popular pieces and sizes in a new tan colors,
while the Fuck Me Silly range is getting the Fuck Me Silly Man!
masturbator, which weighs in at roughly 20 pounds and features
a turgid penis that could be popular with cam performers,
Murphy noted.
Also coming from Pipedream Products is another fuck
machine, the Bigger Bang. Priced at $200 MSRP, the machine
not only thrusts one of the two included dongs at various
speeds, but also rotates the dongs. Between the speed, rotation
and thrusting, the machine offers more than 2,500 possible
combinations, Murphy said.
Among the many other manufacturers exhibiting in the main
hall was Xgen Products, showcasing a new line of sex toys
branded by famed retailer Frederick’s of Hollywood. Xgen has the
exclusive worldwide rights and distribution to the range, which
encompasses nine items, including rings, vibes and couples sets.
All are rechargeable and are purchased with their own gift wrap,
tissue paper, and stylish carrying bag—plus a one-year warranty.
In addition to a new mini massager in its Bodywand range,
Xgen also beefed up its Zolo family. The male sex toy brand
boasts 12 new items, including pocket strokers, vibrating
strokers and masturbators with silicone rings for a customizable
experience. And most exciting is the Zolo Blowpro, the brand’s
first automated item.
We-Vibe announced several new products coming soon:
the Ditto, the Jive and the Gala. The Ditto is a new anal plug
that has a flat side and a bulbous side to provide completely
different sensations depending on how it is inserted. The Ditto
is controlled via remote or by the We-Connect App, and it can be
paired with other toys for two-way control. Out now, the Ditto
is available in purple and navy blue. The Jive, which is coming
at the end of summer, is a wearable egg that is bigger than the
insertable stem of the original We-Vibe massagers, and has
flexible antennae for control via the We-Connect app. The Gala
will debut this fall and is a hand-held massager that fits into the
palm of the hand and has two rabbit-style “ears” that are each
powered by a Tango motor. All of the new items will come with a
two-year warranty.
Icon Brands sales manager Sara Hentcy, who just joined the
company, noted the manufacturer expanded its 9s line, which
features a number of products that wholesale for $5 and retail for $9.99. Included in the collection are
cock rings, small vibrators, introductory BDSM kits and more. The Hey 19! collection of strokers also
is expanding, with six new girls featured in the collection, including Megan Sage and Jillian Janson.
Foot fetish fans will be impressed with the new Keisha Grey Foot Fetish masturbator, which features
Keisha’s molded feet next to one another in a heel-to-toe position and provides two access points: one
at the bottom of the heels and one in between the arches.
Another exhibitor drawing on star power was the Cousins Group, which featured performer Allie
Haze at the show to promote her My First Penetration stroker. Haze also was there to direct buyers’
attention to the strokers branded for fellow stars Alexis Texas, Jada Stevens and Morgan Lee, as well
as the company’s core collection: the Bonnie Rotten Black Label, which includes multiple strokers as
well as vibrators and anal toys.
Kama Sutra is adding new scents to the Ignite collection of massage candles: Tropical Mango and
Vanilla Sandalwood. Sales rep Nick also pointed out the flagship product, Oil Of Love, will now be
available as Petites, with bottles that are half the size of the originals and are available in all varieties.
The Petites come with a lid and eye-dropper for application.
