product categories. Also adding to the buzz at the show will be other
U.S.-based companies, including Curve Toys, Evolved Novelties,
Femme Funn, Impulse Novelties, Rock Candy Toys/Bedroom Products,
Voodoo Vibes and XR Brands. And making the trek from overseas are
Lovehoney, Rouge Garments, Tenga, Hot Flowers, Kingsonic Trading
and Kosmo Lupo.
In addition to toys, there will be plenty of body care products on
display. In addition to checking out a new line of lubricants from
Wicked Sensual Care, attendees can also see the latest from MD Science,
Paradise Marketing, Sensuva and Body Action Products, among others.
And as buyers have come to expect, there will be brand-new
members of the industry represented as well. One of the first-timers is
Sean Johnson of Amor Oral, who says, “We are so excited to be showing
off our flavored lubes at this year’s AVN Novelty Expo. Since we are
a new brand on the market, it is our goal to share our amazing flavors
and quality lube with everyone at the event. We will be offering tastings
of our best-selling lubes as well as some of our newest flavors.
“We are thrilled to get to know more people in the adult novelty
industry and speak with retailers, distributors, and marketers about
ways to share our amazing flavored lubes with customers and fans,” he
adds.
The team from Honey Adult Play is also eager to make their mark.
“This will be our first show as exhibitors at AVN, though we visited
it last year to check everything out,” a company rep said. Based in
Southern California, this team lives up to its name, with a well-curated
assortment of vibrators, clitoral stimulators and prostate massagers.
Dubbing itself the affordable sexual wellness brand, Honey Adult Play
“prides itself in bringing you high-quality sexual wellness devices
straight to your you-know-what.”
At a show that celebrates novelty, as its name suggests, there is
always something new at ANE. For instance, Ally and Kenny Chenal of
Chenal Creations have something new they would like to share. “Too
many times, people find themselves getting bored with their usual
sex toy,” they say. “Chenal Creations is introducing a solution to the
problem at the AVN Novelty Expo: a toy with the ability to manipulate
girth at the push of a button, giving people the choice of a different guy
every night.” To meet this “stranger,” stop by Booth 103.
In addition to the trade-only space at ANE, there are many other
adult products on display at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE),
held concurrently with ANE. Some big names in the industry use the
show as an opportunity to promote their brands directly to consumers,
including Sportsheets, We-Vibe, Zalo USA, Motorbunny and Bad
Dragon, as well as many emerging entrepreneurs. Curious trade
attendees can check out these companies in the adjacent Artist Hall
as well as The Joint. And don’t overlook the Lair, located upstairs inn
the Joint, where vendors offer up all manner of fetish playthings, from
Justin Sayne’s elaborate floggers to bondage gear from Deviant Leather.
