Finding our niche.

What are two of the most rewarding aspects about working in this industry?

Briefly describe two of your current top-selling products that no novelty retailer should be without.

  • ConstrictHer: a leather bustier with handles. Works great and is sexy as hell!
  • The Pleasure Wrap: 4 yards of satin brocade fabric with a padded front, can be tied around the waist to grab onto with enough fabric left for tying up hands, pulling legs....limited only by the imagination! Complete with leather fringe on the ends for those that like to spice it up with a spanking.

In 10 words or less, what is the strongest asset your company has that makes it stand out in the adult novelty market?
Nobody has anything like our products!
