CalExotics Kicks Off Its 25th Year at ANME
CalExotics started its 25th year in business with a strong show-
ing at the ANME Founders Show in January, announcing new
products and sharing the “California Dream” with everyone
who visited.
“For 25 years, our goal is to design products that enhance
the pleasure and passion in everyone’s daily lives. This season
we certainly did that!” said Susan Colvin, founder and CEO of
CalExotics.
The novelty pioneer unveiled more than 70 new items that
span across a variety of categories. Highlights include the
brand-new Slay collection, the new Optimum Series Advanced
Automatic Smart Pump, and additions to the California
Dreaming and Remotes collections.
The Slay collection comprises four massagers made of silky-
smooth silicone, featuring 10 functions of intense vibration,
pulsation and escalation and beautiful gold-plated accents.
The new Advanced Automatic Smart Pump features leading-
edge technology that can customize up to a 20-minute workout
with tailored exercise intervals and pressure for the ultimate
pumping experience. An easy-to-read LCD screen allows users
to keep track of the pressure, mode, workout time and battery
life. The sleek and durable automatic pump offers superior
suction at the push of a button with an ultra-thick, removable
chamber sleeve.
CalExotics continues the “California Dream” with four new
additions to the best-selling California Dreaming collection.
The new styles pay tribute to some of California’s top locations,
spanning from Hollywood to Palm Springs, and from Surf City
to Sierra. Each product lives up to its California roots with bold
colors, fun designs and eye-catching packaging.
To round out the show, CalExotics encouraged attendees to
wear their pleasure with new remote-controlled toys. A new
petite bullet and panty teaser offers a twist with a wristband-
style remote control.
“It looks like a smartwatch; no one will ever know you are
wearing something that controls your secret vibrating toy,”
Colvin said.
The discreet and convenient remote control drew praise from
ANME attendees, and the company expect these toys to be brisk
sellers.
During ANME, the Cali-based sex toy manufacturer also had
some fun. The CalExotics booth offered an inviting atmosphere
with a custom-built surf hut, specially branded giveaways, and a
contest to give away a custom surfboard.
“ANME is always a fun experience, I loved meeting with all
of our longtime partners and sharing everything CalExotics has
to offer this season,” said Colvin.
