HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—Two products from adult pleasure products manufacturer Sportsheets International were recently featured in mainstream series.

First, their Pin the Cock on the Jock was featured on the new Netflix original series Grace and Frankie which stars big name talent including Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Martin Sheen. 

They also got an appearance in a new web series titled Rebranding Andi where their Penetration Station is showcased.

"We are really honored that these shows chose our products to be included in their series," said Julie Stewart, President of Sportsheets. "As sex toys become more and more a part of mainstream culture, you see them popping up and making cameos in a lot of different mainstream series which gives us a lot more exposure then we had years ago when our industry was considered taboo."

Carolina Korth, producer of Rebranding Andi, added, "When I first saw the Penetration Station, my first thought was this is amazing! And my second thought was I have to write about this.  It's too good not to! I've brought it up to friends before, and everyone's reaction is always a mix of shock and curiosity, and even the most prudish want to know what it is. The name alone is intriguing enough; I knew it'd make great material for a comedy scene like this. It's something that definitely makes an impression. If seeing Andi's reaction to the Penetration Station makes you laugh, great!  If it inspires you to get one for yourself, go for it!  I wrote this series for women who can identify with any part of Andi's plight, so if you feel you need to get out and try new things to get out of a rut like Andi, then by all means, please do!"
The full season of Grace and Frankie is now available and streaming on Netflix. The Sportsheets cameo can be seen in episode 12 of the series.
