Tenga Releases
Limited-Edition Rainbow Pride
Cup for 2019
Tenga, the manufacturer known
for its single-use masturbators,
announced it will create a limited-
edition Rainbow Pride Cup for 2019.
This is the third Pride Cup from
Tenga, and the first to have a global
release. The normally red design of
the Original Vacuum Cup takes on a
Rainbow appearance, embodying the
motif of “QUILTBAG,” representing
diversity under the banner, “Unite
with Pride: Proud Alone, Strong
Together.”
“QUILTBAG” is an acronym
coined by Sadie Lee representing
sexual minorities and their allies,
encompassing a myriad of genders
and sexualities. It stands for Queer/
Questioning, Undecided, Intersex,
Lesbian, Transgender/Transsexual,
Bisexual, Allied/Asexual, Gay/
Genderqueer. The patchwork style
of the colorful pieces celebrates
individuality and a strong connection,
unifying all, much like a quilt.
Designed to promote and celebrate
Pride Month, the Rainbow Pride Cup
will be available worldwide in June
2019, and will retails for $8 USD.
Tenga supports the freedom of all
people to be who they are, free of
expectation. Tenga supports sexual
minority communities globally,
including with the production
of the Rainbow Pride Cup, and
by continuing to make charitable
donations in various global markets.

L.A. Pump in New Distribution Deal with Australia’s LonBrook
Pumping product manufacturer L.A. Pump has announced a
new distribution deal with Australian wholesaler LonBrook.
Commenting on this new agreement, Michael Bassett,
managing director at LonBrook, said, “At LonBrook, pumps for
both male and female have long been one of our most consistent
sell-through categories. We are really thrilled with this new
deal as it enables us to distribute products from one of the best
adult toy manufacturers in the United States. L.A. Pumps are in
demand and have been requested by our customer base. We are
awaiting the arrival of their products as eagerly as our customers.
L.A. Pumps have been renowned for their superior quality and
durability and its pre-demand shows that this is the brand most of
our users are after.”
L.A. Pump has long been a well-known adult toy manufacturer,
offering a unique line of handcrafted, diamond-cut, polished flame cylinders for enlargement of the penis,
balls, nipples and foreskin through hyperemiation (vacuum pumping). The increasing demand for their
products among customers is now crossing boundaries, and through this new deal, the company is hoping
to capture the imagination of the Australian market as well.
In the words of Chris Kalev, co-owner at L.A. Pump, “We are truly honored to have LonBrook as our
distributing partner in Australia. Michael and LonBrook have a wonderful reputation in this industry, and
we are really excited to work with them. We hope that this new partnership strengthens our brands together
by opening up new customer demographics that are ready to latch onto our products.”
L.A. Pump offers one of the widest ranges of cylinder sizes in the industry. All its vacuum pumps are
made of high-quality materials and are easy to clean. Its pumps are said to be helpful in treating impotence,
premature ejaculation, and increase sex drive and sexual performance, and have been even recommended
by doctors in some cases for these very purposes.

Blush’s New Biodegradable Vibe Sets Eco-Friendly Industry Standard
Novelty manufacturer
Blush has begun
leading the way in truly
sustainable sex toys with
its Gaia collection: sex
toys made of recyclable,
biodegradable plant-
based plastic sourced
from corn.
Blush has just
launched the Gaia Eco
Bullet in three colors, and
has also created a point-
of-purchase display,
which comes with a free
floor tester. The Gaia
designs are classic in
form, featuring strong motors. These toys are body-
safe and easy to clean.
“At Blush, we seek to make great pleasure
products using sustainable materials,” said CEO
Verna Meng. “Bioplastic is a perfect choice for
vibrators since it’s nonporous, making it completely
safe, clean for use in the body, and biodegradable.”
When promoting sex toy sustainability, Blush
defines this as materials sourced from botanical
elements, using fewer greenhouse gasses in
production, and
having the lightest
end-of-life impact on
the environment. Gaia
pleasure products
biodegrade quickly with
the help of industrial
recycling facilities. They
will also biodegrade
naturally in landfills after
a few centuries.
In addition Blush
also has launched a “Go
Green” companywide
initiative. All employees
who buy or lease electric
cars, and/or install Tesla
solar panels in their homes will receive company-
paid cash incentives.
“Climate change is a real issue,” noted Blush COO
Eric Lee. “I want to do my best to protect the future
of all children. I am hoping, with this initiative, that
I can influence a few people in our small company;
by announcing this to our industry, I can influence
other business owners to also do something similar.
Together, as an industry, we can make a difference.”
