Lovehoney because of their successes with
previous collaborations. The items in the Broad
City range, billed on the packaging as “Some
High Class Shit,” are named after the scenes in
the show they were featured in. Included in the
range are Mind My Vagina lubricant, a lipstick
vibe and more. Also at the booth were Series
3 of the Lovehoney x tokidoki collaboration,
which features a Day of the Dead theme; and
the Fifty Shades Freed range, with a massager
that delivers suction to the clitoris while it
vibrates, and the Pleasure Overload 10 Days of
Play, an advent calendar-style box with entry-
level BDSM items that build on one another to
make an impressive kit.
Hot Octopuss, which is known for its
male masturbators that feature Pulse Plate
technology, introduced the Queen Bee, its first
product designed for women. The Queen Bee
is a wand that has an oval-shaped head that is
powered by the same Pulse Plate technology.
There is no vibration in the handle, and each
side of the head offers different intensities.
In the XR Brands booth, newest rep Michael
Guilfoyle showcased the SheGasm Pro, a
massager from the Inmi collection that delivers
air suction to the clitoris and comes with three
interchangeable heads. The USB rechargeable
piece is waterproof and boasts three speeds and
10 functions.
Also new is the Rimsation, a remote-
controlled anal toy that has rows of rotating
beads in the neck and offers three speeds and
four vibrational patterns. Other additions are
BDSM items such as an Electric Pinwheel;
Hell’s Bucket, which is a ball spreader with
a small metal pail that dangles below from
a chain and can be filled with any number
of items to weigh it down; and Jugs nipple
clamps, which also feature small buckets
hanging below the slips.
The Adventure Industries booth was buzzing
with new items from the Rabbit Company. In
addition to three recently released styles—
the Beaded D.P. Rabbit, Kissing Rabbit and
Thrusting Rabbit—there were four brand-new
XL Rabbit styles, which are bigger in size, even
more powerful and have a longer run time.
Also on display at the booth was the Drilldo
line of “sex tools,” which was augmented by
the Drilldo Thrust, providing 3,000 thrusts per
minute and a variable speed trigger.
Aneros showcased its new Trident series,
which features redesigned classic shapes from
the company. Product designer Forrest A. said
previously the shapes only moved in and out
and up and down, essentially along the x and
y axes. Now, Forrest said, the extension of one
of the external arms redistributes the balance of
the pieces so they are more fluid in their motion
while interred, and now move along the z axis
as well.
“The pieces wobble inside, giving new
sensations and providing more stimulation
inside and out,” he said.
The Trident series will begin shipping in
October.
NS Novelties showcased its latest additions
to the Firefly collection. While many of the
items are made from flexible TPE, the new eggs
and plugs are made of glass with the glow-in-
the-dark material suspended inside. Reps set
up a special viewing room next to the booth
with black curtains and black lights so buyers
and guests could marvel at all the colors and
styles.
Ovo Lifestyle Toys rolled out new items in
two groups. The Phase 4 collection of toys,
shipping this summer, is a mix of rabbits
and straight vibrators in multiple sizes—all
battery-powered and waterproof. The Phase
5 collection includes five distinctive toys that
all feature a ridged texture that simulates the
feeling of motion. As an added enhancement,
both the E7 rabbit vibrator and the E8 vibrator
are enveloped in Ovo’s SilkSkyn material,
