BURBANK, Calif.—As the second day of the ANME Founders Show rolled on, buyers and attendees were treated to new innovations, sexual health products and even an awards show.
Front and center in the Jimmyjane booth were two new sexual health products, menstrual cups and a Kegel Trainer Set from the Intimate + Care label. Sunny Rodgers—resident sexologist for Pipedream Products, Sir Richard’s and Jimmyjane—explained the cups were were designed with four holes near the rim to help with creating suction so the cups, which comes in two sizes for light and heavy flows, stay in place. There is also a flexible pull tab at the base to make it easier to remove the cups, she said.
Sir Richard’s debuted the Control by Sir Richard’s range, which features pieces made from Mega Stretch Silicone.
“The Mega Stretch Silicone is a new type of silicone that is super stretchy without losing its shape,” Rodgers said. “It has 0 percent durometer; most silicone has 25 percent durometer.”
The line includes cock rings, cock sleeves and prostate massagers. The pieces that vibrate are rechargeable, Rodgers said.
In the Pipedream booth, new products on display include additions to the Classic line, complete with new pumps, new vibrators and new packaging; new pieces in the Fantasy For Her range, including the Duo Wand Massage Her, a mini wand with a curved neck that vibrates at both ends; and new extremely large pieces in the King Cock Range. Also new is Bianca, the latest piece to join the Ultimate Fantasy Dolls line.
The Cousins Group had its range of Pornstar Signature Series strokers on display, complete with Kleio Valentien in the booth to pose for pictures and sign autographs.
“I’ve had a few toys on the market before, but this is the first time I have something of this caliber,” she told AVN. “They filmed everything while I was getting molded. It was really cool, but it also felt really weird to have someone putting all this goop in strange places and telling me to stay still until it dried.”
The strokers—which are available individually or in themed packs and are molded from popular performers, including Valentien, Jada Stevens, Anna Bell Peaks and Nina Elle—will start shipping by the end of the month.
“So far, all my fans seem really excited and can’t wait for them to start shipping,” Valentien said.
FemmeFunn displayed its Bougie Bullet, which is set to begin shipping within a few weeks. The powerful bullet boasts 20 functions and comes with a Boost mode. There is a memory chip so users can easily return to a favorite function, and it comes with a case that matches the metallic shades of rose gold or robin’s egg blue. The Bougie Bullet is rechargeable from either the vibe itself, or from the case, and the magnet is powerful enough to support the weight of the vibe, explained company rep Guz B.
Clandestine Devices unveiled its newest product, the Mimic + Plus, which has a shape similar to the original Mimic, but resembles a porpoise instead of a stingray.
“It’s 10 percent bigger, which allows for a bigger and more powerful motor,” Director of Operations Kimberly Faubel said. “But even though the Mimic + Plus is bigger, the packaging is smaller. The boxes are the same height, but the new packaging is narrower from side to side and front to back.”
Additionally, the Mimic + Plus is available in two new colors: Magenta and Stealth Grey.
Reps in the Nexus booth announced their partnership with fellow U.K.-based manufacturer Doxy to create a line of interchangeable massage heads for the Doxy wand. The attachments—a prostate massager, a masturbation sleeve, a dual stimulator and a tickler—screw on and off the Doxy wand so they stay in place and won’t roll up or come off like some traditional silicone coverings.
In addition to enjoying pastries from Porto's Bakery in the XR Brands booth, attendees were treated to new products and collections, including the Booty Sparks range. With five different styles available in three sizes, the Booty Sparks collection are metal butt plugs with a bit of added flair or dazzle, including heart-shaped jewels and red or black roses.
One of the most popular launches in the Topco Sales booth is the Penthouse Pet Collection Hands-Free Adjustable Dual Strokers. Molded directly from several Penthouse Pets—including Riley Nixon, Jenna Sativa and Kenna James—the Cyberskin strokers have openings at both ends, and come with a cap that has a suction cup attached so they can be used against any flat surface, including the shower.
Also new is the Cyberskin Elite Twerking Butt, an interactive multi-sensory pussy and ass masturbator, in a darker skin tone. The hands-free masturbator is equipped with app-enabled Bluetooth technology and enhanced with warming and vibrating massage. It comes with VR goggles to allow users to watch heir favorite fantasies and feel the action through the masturbator.
