Shots America debuted 16 new glass toys,
available in Transparent Blue or Jade White. The
range includes Ben Wa Balls in various sizes,
as well as floggers and probes. Also new in the
booth was the Elegance line of various palm-
sized massagers as well as a dual stimulator and
a clitoral pump teaser. The line features jewel-
tone colors and gold-brush accents.
Sparkles and bright colors also adorned the
Impulse Novelties booth, which showcased
its Bling collection of pink and purple silicone
vibrators decorated with crystals at the base.
But even more intriguing was the Dreamgirl
Set, a vibrator that offers the all-the-rage suction
sensation with interchangeable heads of different
sizes. The soft pink pleasure toy provides 12
modes of vibration and 12 modes of suction, and
it’s rechargeable.
When it comes to pink, few toys put the color
to better use than the Co-eds in Disgrace! strokers
from Icon Brands. Part of the Hey 19! collection,
these two-hole masturbators are made of two-
tone, two-layer TPR that features “teen ass and
pussy” adorned with barely-there clothing in
three varieties: crotchless panties, torn jeans and
a flipped-up micro-mini skirt. “We’re having a
great show,” said sales manager Sara Hentcy,
“but the response to the dual-layer Hey 19 TPR
butts has been particularly enthusiastic. Everyone
who sees them asks the same question: When can
I have them?”
Nasstoys added 18 new products to its lineup,
all of which were on display for buyers and
attendees during ANME. In the popular Infinitt
Collection, Nasstoys added the Infinitt Pleasure
Massager and Infinitt Rotating Dual Massager.
The manufacturer also added to the Intense
Collections: the Intense Cockring & Bullet,
Intense Orgasm Bullet, Intense Dual Vibe Kit #1,
Intense Dual Vibe Kit #2, and Intense Dual Vibe
Kit #3.

NS Novelties displayed its Crystal Premium Glass range as part of its new offerings. The
collection features repackaged favorites, as well as new additions, said company rep Janet Rini.
“We have new colors, and have added new items like pleasure wands, but the real draw is the
new packaging, which is colorful and really catches attention,” she said.
Also new in the booth are the Shi/Shi Sugar/Sugar, the latest addition to the award-wining
Shi/Shi collection, and additions to the Firefly, Inya and Luxe collections.
In addition to toys, ANME always features the latest from lubricant manufacturers. One
