Tyes.by.tara Adds Handcuff Designs
Tyes.by.tara, an independent
designer and manufacturer of
jewelry, accessories, beauty and
gifts has announced the release
of a new handcuff design called
tyecuffs.
Following the demand for
more bedroom-based accessories,
tyes.by.tara developed a couture,
flirty and feminine twist on the
traditional handcuff model, “the
new tyecuff design is catered to
the adventurous female in mind
who is looking to explore
bondage while highlighting her
feminine prowess,” said founder
Tara Christine. “One notable
feature is that they do not look like handcuffs making them perfect
for women with roommates or children.”
Available in a wide range of materials and fabrics, from playful
marabou to delicate lace, the tyecuff design has been integrated into
all existing Entyece collections. This exciting new addition enables
women to enjoy the adventure of restraint without intimidation. Two
double elastic loops easily slip over the wrists for quick employment.
All tyecuffs are handmade in the U.S. For more information, visit
Entyece.com, email info@tyesbytara.com or call (877) 595-8937.
Nalpac Holding Weekly Product Training Seminars
The Nalpac team has been inviting local customers to the company’s offices for
Nalpac’s Product Training Seminar. Customers have been enthusiastic about these
sessions, which kicked off February 27 with representatives Jackie and Roxanna
from California Exotic Novelties.
The duo presented Nalpac customers with the latest CalExotics items and gave
them the knowledge they need to sell, such as pricing, styles/colors available and
how to use the product.
Nalpac left the seminar ready to sell, with a thorough understanding of the
products and knowledge of different techniques and methods of presenting the
product to customers.
Each week Nalpac will offer their customers a product training seminar from a
different vendor, presenting the newest items available, as well as showing them a
good time.

Website Gives
High Marks to
pjur Cool
My-Lovetoy, a German website
about erotic products, recently
conducted a three-week test of
pjur Cool, a mentholated water-
based lubricant, and gave it the
my-Lovetoy seal.
Most of the testers loved the
tingling cooling effect: “I
enjoyed feeling a slight
coolness, as if a gentle breeze
was wafting through the
bedroom. For me personally it was an extremely pleasant feeling, and
my wife was also enthusiastic. She particularly enjoyed the effect of
passionate heat in contrast with the coolness of the lubricant,” said
Raimund, one of the testers.
A female tester had a similar opinion: “I also use pjur Cool when
I’m alone, since I particularly enjoy the tingling feeling of coolness
when I’m really hot!”
The consistency of the product won particular praise: “We found it
very pleasant that the lubricant was not as sticky as some other
ones,” reported one test pair. Testers Marta and Niels were
enthusiastic about the packaging as well: “The bottle is light blue,
which really fits the ‘refreshing menthol’ claim and at the same time
expresses a certain pleasant anticipation. We find the design well-
conceived, and the promised effect is nicely underscored by the
label’s ice crystal illustration.”
The test report is available (in German) at My-Lovetoy.com. For

CalExotics Creates Newsletters for B2B, B2C
California Exotic Novelties announces
the creation of two monthly
newsletters: Toy Time Express and
The Buzz.
“Toy Time Express is a great
resource for our customers to use,”
said Susan Colvin, president and CEO
of California Exotic Novelties. “People
tell us they love sharing the articles
with their sales staff. The Buzz is
designed to be entertaining as well
as informative and we hope everyone
loves it!”
Toy Time Express is CalExotics’
industry newsletter. It offers instructive articles to help increase sales at the
retail level, product information, and company news as it pertains to the novelty
industry on a B2B level.
The Buzz is CalExotics’ consumer newsletter. Featuring articles written by the
Expert Sexperts—The Love Birds, Jaiya, and Sunny Megatron—as well as product
reviews, videos, and contests, the B2C newsletter reports on everything
happening on ClubCalExotics.com, the company’s online community.
The two newsletters were first released several months ago with a soft launch.
After evaluating their success, the company has made them official.
Jackie White, vice president of sales for California Exotic Novelties, says, “I
recommend subscribing to Toy Time Express if you work for a distributor, retailer,
party planner, are a blogger or member of the trade media.”
To sign up for either newsletter, or both, visit the Sign Up for Newsletter page
