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.

family. The male sex toy brand boasts 12 new items, including pocket strokers, vibrating

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

provides two access points: one at the bottom of the
heels and one in between the arches.

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

as well as vibrators and anal toys.
