Penis owners certainly won’t be overlooked by
CalExotics in 2018. First off, there are two new
pumps in the Optimum series: the Magic Pump and
the Automatic Smart Pump. The Magic Pump is
manually operated while the other operates with the
push of a button, but both deliver intense suction.
The cylinder is clear so the user can see the growth.
And the Smart Pump features an exercise mode that
squeezes and lets go in intervals.
Other products of interest to men are the Silicone
Rocking Probe, with a shaft that produces the come-
hither motion to stimulate the prostate, and the
Silicone Pegging Probe, which is “non-threatening, a
great introductory toy,” Grossman points out.
Adjacent to the CalExotics booth was a smaller
space for its sister brand Jopen. Though there were
no new items from Jopen, Grossman said the brand
was still going strong with the Amour collection,
introduced at the last show. “We’re producing it as
fast as we can get it out. For the upcoming Valentine’s
holiday, it’s the perfect gift.”
Next door to CalExotics was Nasstoys, where
publicist Denise Kraft ran through the latest from the
East Coast–based pleasure toy company. The most
exciting is the Infinitt collection, with five items that
are all rechargeable, waterproof and made of soft
silicone.
The Contoured Massager, available in pink or
purple, can be used in various ways, both externally
and internally. And Kraft said that one ANME
attendee had pointed out earlier in the day that
when turned one direction it would serve nicely as a
prostate stimulator.
The second item in the Infinitt collection, the
Tongue Massager, is aptly named. In size and shape it
mimics its namesake, with tiny pleasure nubs along
the surface—and it also replicates its motion, with
back-and-forth licking action in varying speeds.
The other items in the collection offer one of the
hottest sensations around these days: suction. The
Suction Massager One features a suction cup on the
step of a rabbit-style vibe; Suction Massager Two and
Suction Massager Three are dual-stim variations, both
available in purple or pink. The packaging features
the products showcased on an uncluttered black
background, creating an upscale look that will look
great on display—but expect these intriguing toys to
leap off the shelves pretty quickly.
Showcased next to the Infinitt collection were new
rabbit-style vibes in the Energize Her Bunny line,
which are offered in both rechargeable and battery-
operated models, to suit both consumer preferences.
Other notable additions are the Intense Bullets,
packing a lot of power into a small size for her
pleasure. For him, there’s the Mack Tuff Blowjob Vibe
and the Commander Electric Pump—which lives up
to its name with its commanding appearance.
Just down the hall from Nasstoys was the Xgen
Products booth, which also had plenty of news
to share. The Frederick’s of Hollywood collection
continued to grow, with the addition of new vibrator
models. And for the guys, Zolo added the Pocket
Stroker. Discreet and transportable, it comes in
three styles: lime green with a ribbed texture, bright
blue with a beaded texture, and clear with a realistic
channel. Full-size, vibrating versions of the stroker
come in the same colors with Original, Backdoor and
The Girlfriend interior textures.
For those who prefer basic black exteriors and
sleeves with anatomically correct orifices, there are
Clockwise from top right, among the exhibitors at the winter ANME show were Jimmyjane, Jopen, LELO and Doc Johnson.
also plenty of models to choose from, depending on
preference: The Perfect Deep Throat, The Perfect
Backdoor and the double-ended DP Stroker.
Also new to the Zolo range: the BlowPro, with
automated action to simulated a blowjob, and the
Zeppelin, a black obelisk that vibrates and rotates.
But the biggest news is the introduction of the
Couples Rabbit—a U-shaped vibe officially licensed
product by We-Vibe and branded by The Rabbit
Company. A small vibe designed to be worn during
intercourse, it looks akin to the basic We-Vibe shape
but also includes two “rabbit ears” on the external
end to stimulate the clitoris and an internal end that
is grooved to better accommodate the penis.
Topco Sales, one of the industry’s Big Five
manufacturers, debuted a new Down & Dirty range
of large anal plugs and other anal toys under its Wild
Fire banner. There were also Sex Please! double
dongs making their debut at the show. The mega-
manufacturer also debuted a new item in its Climax
line: the Bodi 15X Silicone Palm Vibe. Available in
three colors (rose pink, sea-foam green and lilac),
the lay-on vibe has a textured silicone covering and
boasts three speeds and five vibrations modes. The
waterproof massager is USB rechargeable and comes
with a two-year warranty.
Doc Johnson also was front in center in the main
showroom, with new items in its Rechargeable iVibe
collection as well as its Kink by Doc Johnson range.
New to iVibe are the iRoll, a dual stimulator that
has stimulating beads that move up and down the
shaft, as well as a wheel with silicone tabs as a clitoral
stimulator The iPlease is a powerful new bullet
vibrator with a ring handle that boasts 20 vibrational
patterns. Both pieces are available in pink and purple.
Among the new additions to the Kink by Doc
Johnson collection are the Power Play, which is the
new iPlease redone in the red-and-black color scheme
of Kink by Doc Johnson Products; the Pulse, a four-
motor vibrator that has an eight-function insertable
shaft, and three 12-function vibrating prongs; the
Bind & Tie kit, a rope play kit that includes two 30-
foot and one 5-foot lengths of rope and safety scissors.
Adding more fun to the Doc Johnson exhibit
space was the Pop Up Pleasure Machine, which has
been seen on display at various mainstream events,
including Whitney Bell’s press-magnet exhibition,
“I Didn’t Ask for This: A Lifetime of Dick Pics,” in
downtown Los Angeles. The contraption, a traditional
vending machine morphed into a hot pink sex toy
delivery device for its #VibeWithDoc campaign,
featured various Doc Johnson products, including
the Tryst massager, the Buzz Liquid Vibrator, and
miscellaneous merch.
Pipedream Products debuted new lines and
products, including new love dolls Kitty and
Carmen. The dolls come with steel skeletons and are
posable, right down the toes and French-manicured
fingers. Each of the dolls comes with three holes for
penetration, stand at more than 5 feet tall and weigh
about 80 pounds. They dolls are part of the Pipedream
Extreme Toys collection.
Also new to that collection are the Dirty Talk
masturbators. The pieces—the Interactive Fuck
Me Silly, Interactive Bad Girl and Interactive Titty
Fuck-Her—that have the added sensory experience of
