Designs of the Time Manufacturers show off the latest in tech
and trends at ANME
as pleasure product professionals
Once again it was Christmas in July,
brought out their new toys for the
ANME Founders Show, held July 16-
18 at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport
in Burbank, California.
Attendees of the trade show were treated to
the latest in technology, trends, colors and more
in the pleasure products industry, with many
products already shipping from exhibiting
manufacturers.
As in past shows, the Big 5—CalExotics,

main exhibit hall, showing off their newest
products and upcoming collections.
CalExotics used the opportunity to debut
its Jack Rabbit Signature collection, a range of
three Jack Rabbit Vibes, each with distinctive
features and functions. The Thrusting Rabbit
offers thrusting action at the head as well as a
clitoral stimulator with flickering ears, while the
Rocking “G” version boasts seven functions of
independent vibration, pulsation and escalation
as well as a head that is bulbous and angled to
stimulate the G-spot while inserted. The Silicone
Beaded Rabbit has four rolling pleasure beads
that run up and down the length of the shaft;
the beads run along the front, back and each
side. The company also added to its Scandal
collection, debuting BDSM Rope, Lover’s
Tape, a Beginners Fetish Kit and more.
Its sister company Jopen enticed buyers
with the introduction of the Amour collection.
Amour products are all crafted with Satin
Finish Silicone, and feature seven functions of
vibration, pulsation and escalation, including
five incremental speeds for each function.
The USB-rechargeable products come with
a one-year warranty, and include a Remote
Bullet with a heart-shaped remote control,
the Dual G Wand rabbit-style massager with
two motors and an ergonomic design, and the
Mini G, a petite stimulator that boasts a G-spot
curve at the lead.
Nasstoys impressed visitors to the booth
with the newest additions to its Dominant
Submissive entry-level BDSM range: the Chain
Whip and Spiked Chain Whip.
“They look like jewelry, but they can be
‘deadly’ too,” explained Kathryn Hartman,
sales and marketing director for Nasstoys.
“They feel exquisite against the skin, while
delivering a real sting.”
The big hit at the booth, Hartman noted,
was the Touch Extreme Vibrations massager.
Available in purple and pink, the massager
features 10 functions and is rechargeable and
waterproof. Measuring in at 5 inches long, the
massager is coated in a silky soft silicone and
is activated by human touch. If the massager
is on a nightside table it will stay in place, but
once picked up it starts vibrating.
“It is our number, number, number one
seller this show,” Hartman said, adding the
vibrator can operate in touch-mode, steady or
through any of the 10 function patterns.
Nasstoys also introduced new nipple toys
to the Seduce Me collection, as well as a new
U-shaped vibrator in the Amore collection.
Topco Sales debuted the 4M Training
Gear collection for men, which features an
Endurance Penis Pumping Set, Pumping
Cream, Endurance Lube and much more.
Autumn O’Bryan, Topco’s COO, also
pointed out the company’s popular Bottoms
Up collection received new packaging and
introduced new lubricants.
“We’ve also added to the Vulcan line
of strokers, which has proved to be very
popular,” O’Bryan said.
The new items include vibrating versions
as well as Wet versions, which come with
textured and pre-lubricated love tunnels.
The lubrication lasts for about 30 to 35 uses,
O’Bryan said, and after that the stroker can
