Online retailer PriveCo Inc., who also runs the award bestowing website, Vibrators.com, has awarded its Vibrator of the Year award to the Tongue Dinger from HOTT Products with the Silicone Taffy Tickler from Topco Sales Adam & Eve Signature Toy line winning the runner up title.
HOTT Products received the award at the AVN Novelty Expo in July, and recently Vice President Chris Post told AVN NoveltyBusiness magazine the concept behind the product. "We started off with the Humm Dinger, a vibrating cock ring, and basically made it really inexpensive," he said. "I figured if we made the ring a little smaller and put the bullet on the end, it would fit on the tongue. I came up with the name ‘Tongue Dinger,' and the rest is history."
Post also shared that the company's recently released glow-in-the-dark version of the Tongue Dinger, called the Night Rider, "has really done well so far."
PriveCo founder Tom Nardone said the Vibrator of the Year award is his way to let the manufacturer know that a specific product has stood out with PriveCo customers.
The silicone Taffy Tickler from Topco Sales' Adam and Eve signature toy line was the runner-up for the Vibrator of the Year award.
"Customers really seem to enjoy the texture and the appearance," Nardone continued. "It creates lovely sensations, is easy to clean and is made out of a premium material-silicone-and retails for a very reasonable price tag. The Silicone Taffy Tickler is very deserving of this award."
Desiree Duffie, Topco's director of marketing, said the company was "simply tickled" to have been named runner-up. "We love knowing that this product has been such a hit for PriveCo," she stated. "It is one of our best-sellers for a good reason."
