head and shaft of the penis, delivering strong vibrations in various
patterns as users glide it up and down.
“Women can use it as well, simply by turning the wand around so it
stimulates the clitoris and labia,” explained Delphine Pegues of Lovely
Planet.
Fantasy Lingerie’s booth was buzzing as visitors learned about
the new P.S. I Love You swimwear collection from the award-wining
manufacturer.
“We introduced the line with a small selection of pieces based on
some of our top-selling lingerie styles,” said Leilani Whitney, president
of Fantasy Lingerie.
In additional to traditional swimwear fabric (nylon and Spandex),
pieces in the range are made from crushed velvet, wet-look fabric and
lace. There are also plus-size designs in the range, which is made in the
U.S.
The company also showcased its Whitney Bissette Leisurie collection
of resort wear. With rompers, long dresses, beach pants and more
made of gauze, several items in the range go up to size XXXL.
Also new to the lingerie manufacturer is the Premium Play Men’s
collection.
“This is a hanging line of bedroom costumes for men,” Whitney
said. “We had retailers telling us there were no good bedroom
costumes for men, so we developed this line.”

The Gluteus Maximus (a Roman soldier), Shell Slayer (a sexy take on a Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtle), Dragula (a vampire with a harness cape) and more come in sizes small, medium
and large, and range in wholesales prices between $16 and $24. The collection will be ready to
ship within the next few weeks.
In the Satisfyer booth, reps showed off the Satisfyer Men stroker, which is now in stock and
shipping, along with sleeve variations, lubricants, a toy cleaner and a renewing powder.
“This product offers us a chance to reach a new client base,” said Jerome Bensimon, vice
president of sales. “And with a price of $39.95 it makes it easy for more people to afford a
quality toy.”
Bensimon also noted reps were showcasing the Partner Plus, which now comes with a
remote control.
Impulse Novelties also was among the exhibitors at Altitude, and reps were eager to talk
about the company’s new Bling crystal vibrators.
“The crystals are embedded into the handle, not just glued on, so there’s no fear of them
falling off,” said Shon McLean, executive brand ambassador for Impulse Novelties.
The vibrators boast 12 functions and are crafted from silicone and ABS plastic. There are
three styles, each in two colors, and all of the pieces are USB rechargeable, waterproof and
come with a warranty.
The packaging for Bling is silver, so it catches light on store shelves, and features a magnetic
closure.
