NEW YORK—Snail Vibe, the unique dual stimulation vibrator from Freedom Novelties, is receiving much attention with media articles and reviews in outlets such as Vice, Vogue France, MindBodyGreen, Self, AVN, Who, In Bed With Kate, and others.

Some review excerpts follow:

• VOGUE France: “It adapts to each vulva, to each vagina depth, and intelligently stimulates the clitoris internally and externally with its two independent motors.”
• MindBodyGreen: “Its super-unique design is unlike any other dual stimulation toy I've seen! The big round clitoral stimulator allows for stimulation on and around the entire clitoris—the vulva lips included!”
• VICE: “The Snail Vibe is a double duty G-spot and clitoral vibrator that uses physics in the horniest way possible to get you off. The vibrating clitoral attachment ball unfurls with you in proportion to how much you insert it, so you will always have just the right amount of pressure on your clit with no extra effort on your part. Now that’s what I call hard science.”
• SELF: “The unique spiraling design of this soft silicone toy allows its external arm to stay in contact with your clitoris while you thrust the internal arm in and out.”
• Who: “Look we get it, this one had us doing a double take too. But the snail is definitely more sexy than slimy and is one of Wildsecrets’ big sellers.”
• Love, Emma: “If you wished a rabbit vibrator teased you less and made you come harder, you’ll probably love this toy.”
• In Bed With Kate: “It’s the most reliable material in the market, and at the same time it feels nice and soft.”

Due to its positive reception by consumers and growing market presence, Freedom Novelties is supporting retailers seeking to stock the all-in-one vibrator with new consumer-facing marketing resources, including images, videos, point of sale displays and demo/sample units. 

Distributors and retailers interested in carrying Snail Vibe may reach their sales rep at Freedom Novelties, order directly through its B2B web portal, FreedomNovelties.com, or e-mail Sales@FreedomNovelties.com.

“It’s great to see Snail Vibe trending," said Brian Herbstman of Freedom Novelties. “We put so much effort into delivering a product that is both unique and pleasurable, and that is exactly how Snail Vibe is being received.”
