PORTLAND, Ore. - Empire Labs Inc., a manufacturer of state-of-the-art materials intended for medical and prosthetic purposes, has been featured in the Portland Tribune.
Empire, which has a reputation for its safe, high-quality, simple-to-use molding and casting compounds, sells kits that allow men to create lifelike replicas of their penises. Last year, Empire sold about 200,000 Make Your Own Dildo kits, ringing up $2.5 million in sales.
"Guys are in love with their penises," Chief Executive Officer Joe Hanson has said. "That's what it comes down to."
Each of Empire's kits consists of a packet of powdered molding gel, which is mixed with water to produce a thick paste of odorless and nontoxic components. The user pours the paste into a tube and inserts the relevant body part until the mold sets.
The kits sell for $24.95-$44.95.
The 13-year-old company, which also has seen success with its vibrating penis kits, also produces kits for duplicating the female anatomy and manufactures soap, candles and chocolate.
Also set to hit the market is the Gimme A Hand Kit and a new line of performance-enhancing herbal supplements, including BANG!, that taste like chocolate.
