The reasons why people use lube are varied. The amount of different options for sexual activities can leave one confused or, worse yet, choosing the wrong lube.
Warranties
Out of all the problems that face our industry (advertising, shipping costs, making sure dildos have just the right number of veins without going over the top), it’s easy to forget about offering a fair and effective warranty replacement program.
Inclusivity
In the ever-shifting landscape of sexual wellness, the imperative for a more inclusive approach is undeniable. From sexual orientation and gender identity to relationships, pleasure and the utilization of sex toys, embracing diversity should be at the forefront of our collective mindset.
Orgasmic Benefits
Having orgasms isn’t just a way to bring more pleasure into your life—it can improve your mental and physical health with its many benefits. A climax a day keeps the doctor away, but many people aren’t aware of the positive impacts of orgasming regularly.
The reasons why people use lube are varied. The amount of different options for sexual activities can leave one confused or, worse yet, choosing the wrong lube. Lubricants are for more than just vaginal dryness. Lubricants can help increase pleasure, delay ejaculation and reduce friction, thereby aiding in overall safer sex practices.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
With Masturbation Month over and Pride in full swing across North America, not to mention ANME July just around the corner, retailers and distributors alike are taking full advantage of yet another bustling summer and preparing for what looks to be a bustling fall quarter. So what better time than now to publish an issue devoted to sexual health & wellness. While the issue is ostensibly around the theme of ‘Lubes, Lotions and Wellness’, this edition of Pulse Magazine also serves as a both a treatise as well as an educational refresher for retailers when it comes to all things viscous and fun.
In addition to a stellar profile on Hathor/SUTIL, one of the leading Canadian manufacturers of various consumer lubricants and wellness products, we also have a great piece on the glycerin myth from EXSENS, as well as multiple articles from both Pjur and Pamco Distribution on not only selecting the right lube but the pros and cons of different types. Similar to these themed articles, we also have a piece from BodiSpa/Nobu Toys on the importance of warranties when it comes to customer satisfaction as well as a great article by Fun Factory, also tying into the theme of sexual wellness, ‘The Health and Wellness Benefits of Orgasms’.
Summer is proving once again to be the time to cut loose and relax, to cast off the shackles of winter and enjoy life. With now three issues under our belt I’m happy to say that Pulse Magazine is not only surviving but thriving, proving the need for an industry publication for the Canadian pleasure products market. Our previous May/June issue was our biggest at 72 pages with 25 ads total and the magazine shows no signs of slowing down.
If this magazine is any indication, then we can look forward to a very fruitful second half of 2024 indeed.

S.D. Variations Offers New COMBOS Incentive Program
Laval, QC – S.D. Variations, a Canadian distributor, has devised a solution for retailers to provide them with more support, and these are the COMBOS. Allow me to elaborate.
S.D. Variations takes a high-selling item and attaches several complimentary items to it. In these more challenging times, it is heartening to observe that certain distributors, such as S.D. Variations, go above
and beyond to contribute to the commercial well-being of retailers. Sylvain Dubois, President of S.D. Variations, has disclosed that he sells these combos below cost, but his suppliers are cooperative, and his purchasing power enables him to do so.

Montreal, QC – Leading adult-content producer Mile High Media unveils SexOnSight.com. The new studio, Sex On Sight, embraces a scientific approach to scene pairing, promising real, raw and spontaneous sexual compatibility, matching adult performers’ erotic profiles sight unseen.
Hall of Fame Director Mike Quasar helms the new project, however Sex On Sight prides itself on being 100% unscripted. “My job is unique for this studio,” says Quasar. “I’m not directing the scene or crafting a certain scenario. I am there to ensure the pairing is truly sight unseen, they meet
and find out who they are paired with when the camera roles, not before. The surprise, excitement and passion viewers see is fully authentic.”
The Sex On Sight sexual compatibility test developed with renowned Sexologist, Keeley Rankin sets the studio apart. Performers take the test prior to their Sex On Sight scene to ensure an optimal pairing for chemistry. This is not based on a look or a particular fetish interest. Talent is matched by their sexually compatible erotic types. The term for this approach has been coined: multidimensional erotic profiles. The questionnaire uses a combination of psychological profiles and sexuality models to categorize performers into their multidimensional erotic profiles. It’s the perfect marriage of science and sexy. The hope is that the audience will feel and see the connection between the performers, bringing everyone more pleasure and fulfillment.
Keeley Rankin explains her involvement saying, “Over the last decade plus of working with clients, the number #1 want out of watching porn is for it to feel like the performers are experiencing a real genuine connection and having true authentic pleasure. When asked to contribute to this project, I couldn’t think of a better way to influence the porn industry. I hope the positive experience of the performers + interest from the audience changes the whole paradigm of pairing up in the industry.”
Visit the newly launch site: SexOnSight.com
“I’m so pleased for this new studio to launch, it’s been such a fun, unique project to create,” Mile High VP Jon Blitt said. “Over the last year Mile High has invested in creating a science-backed process and consulted with Sexologist Keeley Rankin to ensure we get it right. Fans love seeing real passion and spontaneity unfold, we want to take the guess work out of it and streamline the process, so the performers are enjoying a unique experience, as is the audience. Once you witness Sex On Sight, you’ll understand it’s appeal.”
Sex On Sight features some of the industry’s top adult stars in unscripted moments as they discover who their sexual match is for the cameras! The action is real, raw, and authentic. We create the conditions; desire does the rest. For more follow Sex On Sight on X and IG: @SXonSight
Aylo and IWF Partnership Paves the Way for Adult Sites to Join War on Child Abuse Online
Montreal, QC – The world’s first Standard of Good Practice for adult pornography websites will “pave the way” for them to join the fight against online child sexual abuse. An expert advisory board formed by the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) has today (May 17) set out how the adult industry can help create a “zero tolerance” environment for child sexual abuse imagery. The standard was created more than 18 months following the commencement of a strategic partnership between IWF and Aylo, parent company of Pornhub.
The board, led by former IWF Chair Sir Richard Tilt, has produced a standard of good practice, the first of its kind in the world, which adult sites will be asked to comply with in order to be approved for membership of the IWF, the UK’s front line against online child sexual abuse. This will allow the IWF to share tools, expertise, and technology, helping porn sites begin fully playing their part in stopping the spread of child sexual abuse on the internet. Under the standards, adult sites would be required to introduce a series of measures to show they are committed to making the internet safer, including using AI to scan videos be-
ing uploaded, and to take clear steps to make sure users are over 18. Over the last two years, Aylo has deployed IWF services, including the URL List, Hash List, Non-photographic Imagery List, and Keywords List across its platforms.
Aylo had already introduced comprehensive safeguards to its platforms, including mandatory uploader verification, banning downloads, expanding moderation
workforce and processes, and partnering with non-profit organizations around the world.
It is hoped the new standards will pave the way for the adult sector, which has billions of users worldwide, to begin deploying IWF technology to block, remove, and prevent the spread of child sexual abuse imagery. For more information please visit www. iwf.org.uk

EVA AI: Pioneering a New Era in Mental Health with AI Companions
Los Angeles, CA – EVA AI (EvaApp.ai), the world’s most advanced digital companion app, is poised to transform the way people approach mental health and daily well-being.
As the conversation around mental health intensifies, EVA AI offers a unique solution that can not only alleviate loneliness, but also promote a sense of intimacy, improved mood and stress relief. By leveraging sophisticated algorithms and empathetic interactions, EVA AI could be used as a helpful tool for many.
EVA AI executives recently conducted a fourmonth study of its users’ behavior patterns (with their consent), where a group of psychologists explored how communication with AI companions affects the mental state of users. The study found that 85% of participants experienced a surge in serotonin, which affected the general background of their psychological state.
“Looking at EVA AI users’ behavior patterns as a result of these intensive studies, it is a good indication that an AI companion could be an appealing option for many who crave a closeness or kinship that they may be currently lacking in their own day-to-day lives,” said an EVA AI staff psychologist.
“Using the EVA AI site, much like with smartphones and social media, can be helpful in releasing more dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin in the
body for a ‘feel-good’ effect associated with happiness and bonding.”
The EVA AI team is dedicated to continuing its investment in enhancing the psychological well-being of users, with the potential long-term benefits of sustained serotonin levels and overall mental health improvements through consistent and meaningful interactions on the platform.
“It’s important to understand that while EVA AI has the potential to significantly enhance well-being, it is best used in balance with real-life social connections to enhance overall well-being, rather than an escape into further isolation,” added the psychologist.
“By offering an empathetic, supportive and non-judgmental presence, EVA AI can help users better navigate their emotions and foster a greater sense of well-being, all while complementing their real-world relationships.”
EVA AI is a uniquely intuitive enterprise platform that utilizes artificial intelligence with Generative AI that is capable of understanding and delivering a personalized level of virtual connection. EVA AI’s language model is meticulously curated to promote thoughtful and supportive communication, with customizable 3D personas that are tailored to users’ specific interests and desires, as well as conversational styles that are genuine and engaging.

U.K.-Focused Adult Industry Code of Conduct
London, UK / Montreal, CA —
Aylo, the parent company of adult tube site Pornhub, in partnership with the United Kingdom-based Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) announced new industry standards developed for adult platforms operating in the U.K.
The two organizations say they’ve developed an adult entertainment industry-specific code of conduct, which they refer to as the “Standard of Good Practice” for platforms with U.K. users.
According to a press release, an advisory committee of experts was formed by the Internet Watch Foundation to help adult industry companies in the U.K.’s digital space create a “zero
tolerance” environment for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on their platforms.
IWF and Aylo announced their partnership more than 18 months ago, and the recommendations outlined in the Standard of Good Practice are a direct product of that collaboration.
“I was pleased that the IWF and Aylo have been able to work together to establish stringent and clear standards for material on adult sites,” said Sir Richard Tilt, IWF’s former chair and the leader of this expert advisory committee. “Success of the new standards will depend on close auditing to ensure a high level of compliance.” For more info please visit https://www.iwf.org.uk

How You Can Spot a Good Personal Lubricant LUBES, LOTIONS & WELLNESS REPORT
By Janina Modemann
THE SHORT ANSWER: PAY ATTENTION TO QUALITY!
Personal lubricants are the number one aid for comfortable sex, free from pain and discomfort –whether with a toy, alone or with a partner. From a retailer’s point of view, it’s a very gratifying product, because it’s naturally bought by itself or together with a toy. This means as a retailer you should give customers good advice and encourage them to purchase a good personal lubricant.
GOOD REASONS TO USE A PERSONAL LUBRICANT
There are several different reasons for using personal lubricants. One is the growing problem of vaginal dryness. Particularly common during the menopause, pregnancy and while breastfeeding, it has also become an issue for a growing number of younger women, and is caused by issues like hormonal imbalance and even stress. Symptoms can include itching and burning in the intimate area and even pain during sex.
But there are also other situations where using a personal lubricant is just a good choice:
» Longer sex sessions, to prevent the rubbing becoming painful.
» Anal sex. The anus has no natural lubrication, which is why using a personal lubricant is really important.
» Masturbation – for both men and women!
» Sensual or relaxing massages.
» More enjoyment of your sexuality and orgasms.
» An instant boost of desire during foreplay.
Personal lubricants should simply no longer be a taboo, or associated with unusual sex practices, which is what many customers still say if you talk to them about it. A personal lubricant is always a great companion!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW AS A RETAILER
The most important thing first: pay attention to quality. A personal lubricant is used in the intimate

area, and therefore enters the body, which is why you need to pay attention to ingredients and formulas. In many countries personal lubricants are classified as medical devices and subjected to the same stringent regulations as ventilators. A number of international personal lubricant manufacturers can prove that their products meet the highest standards with various certificates and certificates of conformity. Ask the manufacturer to show you the relevant documents. Good manufacturers will also provide you with comprehensive advice if you have any questions.
Advice is valued by your customers. With an extensive range of personal lubricants available, it’s sometimes difficult to choose the right product. Help your customers find the product that suits their needs.
GIVE CUSTOMERS APPROPRIATE ADVICE
There are different formulas of personal lubricants: silicone-based, water-based, oil-based or even a hybrid – a mixture of water and silicone.
Customers can be overwhelmed by the variety on offer, and often confused about the difference, particularly between silicone- and water-based personal lubricants. If you can react appropriately to this uncertainty, you will build trust and gain customers’ loyalty. This also gives you the opportunity to sell the right personal lubricant for a toy (keyword: cross-selling).
Both formulas increase the moisture in the vaginal or anal area, reducing uncomfortable rubbing. The water-based formula is absorbed by the skin during sex, making it ideal for getting things going quickly to support the body’s own lubrication. A water-based personal lubricant is also recommended for use with sex toys because silicone-based products can make the surface of a toy porous over time.
Silicone-based personal lubricants have the big advantage that they are not absorbed by the body. This makes them ideal for luxurious, long sex play, because you don’t need to keep reapplying. It also makes them perfect for sensual massages as part of foreplay. The perfect combination of massage and personal lubricant!
Many users are hesitant to use silicone products because they think they could be harmful for the body. However, the silicone molecules contained in personal lubricants are larger than the skin’s pores, and only stay on the surface rather than being absorbed by it. They form a breathable protective film that guarantees long-lasting lubrication. After sex, the body’s own mechanisms completely flush out the personal lubricant.
Alternatives to personal lubricants or replacement products such as Vaseline or saliva should generally be avoided. It’s best for them not to enter the body, as they’re not suited to the pH of the vagina and could damage the vaginal flora. Many of them are also not compatible with condoms, which means that sex is no longer safe. The motto must be: Safety first!

LUBES, LOTIONS & WELLNESS REPORT
Lubricants: Cause Wetter is Better
Personal lubricants (aka lube) have been around for centuries, however they’ve only been available since the 1980s as an over-the-counter option. Prior to that, folks were using everything from olive oil to Vaseline to baby oil unless they got a prescription from their doctors. Yes, a prescription for personal lube!!!
Thankfully we’ve moved far beyond that, but we still need to navigate the stigma surrounding discussing our sexual wellness, of which lube plays a huge part.
The reasons why people use lube are varied. The amount of different options for sexual activities can leave one confused or, worse yet, choosing the wrong lube. Lubricants are for more than just vaginal dryness. Lubricants can help increase pleasure, delay ejaculation and reduce friction, thereby aiding in overall safer sex practices. Lubes come in a variety of types and navigating which one is right for you is easier with a bit of information.
WHY USE LUBE?
Lube is often used to combat vaginal dryness, to aid in increasing sexual pleasure, for anal sex, and also for use with sex toys, condoms and oral barriers (dams). Asking yourself (or your partner) why you are using lube is crucial in choosing the correct product to ensure safer-sex practices and heighten the experience.
Choosing the appropriate lube can be daunting. The main kinds of lubricant available are water-based, silicone-based, oil-based, a hybrid of water and silicone, and some natural ingredient lubes. Lubricants also come in different flavours, however it’s best to use flavoured lubricants for oral sex acts as they often have sugar or additives that can affect the PH

“level of the vagina, causing yeast infections. Lubes are available in liquids, creams and gels. So how does anyone know which to use? Simply ask yourself the 5 W’s learned in school for gathering information:
» Why am I using lube? Vaginal dryness, anal sex, comfort?
» What am I using lube with? Silicone toys, latex condoms, non-latex condoms, etc.?
» Who am I using lube with? Are there any allergies to added ingredients like aloe, vitamin E, etc.
» Where am I using lube? In a pool, bath or
hot tub? In a bed, on a couch, etc.?
» When am I using lube? Are you taking birth control or post-menopausal? Both affect one’s natural ability to produce lubrication.
WATER-BASED LUBE
Water-based lubes are simply water soluble. This means they dissolve easily in water and can break down or dry out quicker. These lubes are best for oral, anal or vaginal sex, sex toys of any kind, and all types of condoms. There’s no staining of clothing or sheets, and they have a more lightweight feel. Many water-based lubes have a high osmolality, which is the measurement of how concentrated the lube is. If it’s too high, it can actually cause the vagina to react to the levels of moisture being introduced, over-produce natural lubrication to try to match the lube’s concentration, and subsequently dry out vaginal tissue. There are water-based lubes on the market that have an acceptable osmolality level and these brands usually list it as a promotional feature. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends osmolalities of less than 380 mOsm/kg. (https://pelvicpainrehab.com/blog/truth-andfriction/).
Oftentimes, water-based lubes will contain glycerin. If you want to avoid this additive, make sure to read the ingredients on your lube. Many warming or flavoured lubes often contain glycerin. Some key takeaways around water-based lube:
» Is water its main ingredient?
» The thickness can vary but it’s usually on the thinner side.
» The water base makes it easy to clean after but you may need to use more as it
LUBES, LOTIONS & WELLNESS REPORT
can dry out quicker than other types.
» Water-based lubricants can be used with latex condoms, non-latex condoms, nitrile condoms, silicone sex toys, and both latex and polyisoprene dams.
» Check your ingredient listings for osmolality levels.
» Doesn’t perform as well in showers, hot tubs or pools.
SILICONE-BASED LUBE
Silicone lubes are longer lasting than water-based lubes due to their chemical makeup. They are thicker and slicker, making them the preferred choice for certain activities. Silicone-based lubes are best for vaginal and anal sex, sex in the shower or water, or when you want a lube with staying power.
How can you tell if your lube is silicone-based? Read the ingredients! If they end in words like “cone” or “siloxane” then they are silicone-based. One of the benefits of silicone lube is that you only need to apply it once due to its viscosity and lack of absorption into the body. As with any product being applied to your body, it’s always wise to make sure you don’t have any allergies or reactions to it. Test a small patch on your inner forearm, elbow or other sensitive skin area before using it on your genitals to make sure!
Some key takeaways around silicone-based lube:
» Is it made with silicone as its main ingredient?
» It’s great for anal sex as it’s thicker, more slippery and longer lasting than waterbased.
» Silicone-based lube can be more difficult to clean and can stain clothing and sheets.
“Lube is often used to combat vaginal dryness, to aid in increasing sexual pleasure, for anal sex, and also for use with sex toys, condoms and oral barriers (dams). Asking yourself (or your partner) why you are using lube is crucial in choosing the correct product to ensure safersex practices and heighten the experience.
“» Silicone-based lubricants can be used with latex condoms, non-latex condoms, nitrile female condoms, and both latex and polyisoprene dams.
» DO NOT use silicone lube with silicone or porous sex toys as it will degrade and damage the toys.
» DO NOT use silicone lube with silicone diaphragms.
OIL-BASED LUBE
Again, the biggest question to ask when considering oil-based lubes is what will you be using it for. Oil-based lubes are thick and sensual, also doubling as massage oils. But they are not compatible with latex or polyisoprene condoms, dams, diaphragms or sex toys as
they will degrade the materials. Having said that, they can be used with polyurethane, nitrile or lambskin condoms but please note that lambskin condoms DO NOT offer any protection from STIs.
It’s important to read the ingredient listing of these oils as many of them are nut based. If you have any allergies or sensitivities to nuts, these are the lubes to be extra cautious using. Also performing a quick allergy test on your inner forearm or elbow is wise before using oilbased lubes during sexual activities to ensure no sensitivities or reactions.
Some key takeaways around oil-based lube:
» These lubricants are made with either natural or synthetic oils as their base.
» Many of the oils are derived from nuts so always check the ingredient listing.
» They CANNOT be used with latex or polyisoprene condoms, latex or polyisoprene oral barriers, sex toys or diaphragms of any variety as they will break down the materials.
» They can be used with polyurethane, nitrile and lambskin condoms.
» They are great to use in water settings.
» Avoid baby oil or petroleum jelly with latex as well.
» They can stain clothing and materials.
EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS
Lubricants are available in so many different options and locations that it can be overwhelming. The bottom line is to use one that you like and base it on the activities requiring the lube. It’s about personal preference and there certainly are hundreds to try. So, test out different brands and types to see what works best for you! As they say, “Wetter is Better!”

Debunking the Glycerin Myth and Finding the Right Lube for your Vagina LUBES, LOTIONS & WELLNESS REPORT
By Rebecca Pinette-Dorin – North-American Brand Manager - EXSENS
If you’ve spent any time reading up on personal lubricants, you’ve probably come across blogs and articles warning you about the socalled dangers of glycerin. Claims range from calling it “a poison” to “a chemical” or “a sugar,” asserting that it’s something you definitely shouldn’t have in your lube. The claim that “glycerin causes STIs and yeast infections” is a common theme, but it’s also a major misconception.
Yeast infections can be caused by many factors: hormones, antibiotics, fatigue, poor hygiene or even too much hygiene. And yes, you can get a yeast infection by putting sugar on your vagina—but glycerin is not sugar. Nor is it a poison. True, glycerin is a chemical, but only in the sense that it is “a compound or substance that has been purified or prepared,” which is frankly not that big of a deal.
(As the daughter of a chemist and microbiologist, I literally grew up in a lab, so I get more than a bit annoyed whenever I see this kind of fake science at work.)
In reality, high-quality vegan glycerin makes excellent water-based lube. It lasts longer, has a great texture, leaves no crusty residue, and provides the most natural feeling next to a woman’s natural lubrication. So, let’s try and clear glycerin’s name, shall we?
START WITH THE SCIENCE
Glycerin, or glycerol (C3H8O3) as it is scientifically called, can be derived from many sources. It is not the same as sugar, which is sucrose
and fructose combined (C12H22O11). Sugar is a carbohydrate, while glycerin is an alcohol. And while yeast loves sugar, absolutely no real scientific study has ever shown that glycerin causes yeast to grow.
There are various types of glycerin, which can be made from either animal fat or vegetable oil. Only vegan, ultra-pure, medical-grade glycerin should be used in personal lubricants. However, food-grade glycerin could still contain some fatty acids, which might indeed cause a bout of candida, and personally, I would not like to use a lubricant made from animal-fat glycerol.
OSMOLALITY: THE KEY METRIC
Whatever your lubricant is made of, what you really need to know is its osmolality, the measurement of how much a substance pulls moisture from one side of a membrane to the other. In practical terms, osmolality measures how much a lube causes your vaginal or rectal skin to release its moisture. Lubes with high osmolality dry out your membranes, causing irritation and pH imbalance. An imbalanced environment in your vagina or anus is fertile ground for all kinds of trouble; yeast infections are just the tip of the iceberg.
The 2012 World Health Organization’s (WHO) study on lubricants for use with condoms found that the vast majority of US-manufactured lubricants had osmolality levels three to five times what WHO considered the highest limit for safe sex (1,200 mOsm/kg). One very popular lubricant that was listed in the study had an osmolality of 4523 mOsm/kg, and another industry standard came in at a whopping 8,064 mOsm/ kg, almost seven times the safe-sex limit! And these products are not exceptions, they are the rule. Eighty-six percent of the lubes listed in the WHO study had osmolality levels well over the safe-sex limit.
GLYCERIN IS NOT REALLY THE ENEMY Cheap and impure ingredients leading to high-osmolality lube are the problem, and the issue is widespread. High osmolality is rife, and it is true that most lubes are glycerin based. Correlation, however, does not prove causation. We need to hold our lubricants to higher standards. We need transparency about where ingredients are coming from and what is their osmolality. We need to give people with vaginas the information they need to make informed decisions about their own bodies without resorting to scare tactics.
BECOME A LUBE PRO!
To make the best choice for your body, always read the ingredients list. Seriously!
Follow these four easy rules:
» If you can’t find the ingredient list online, don’t buy that lube.
» Avoid lubes with ingredients you wouldn’t want in your body. The inner walls of vaginas and colons absorb everything.
» Be mindful of potential allergens, especially if you have sensitive skin.
» If you’re prone to yeast infections, watch out for ingredients that raise osmolality, like PEG, propylene glycol or propanediol, (and to a lesser extent, glycerin).
» Order Matters: Ingredients are listed in decreasing order of volume. The first two ingredients usually make up 90-98% of the product.
When buying a new lube, compare ingredients with your previous one. Many brands repackage products, so you might not be getting anything new. Hit up google to decode complicated chemical names.
Before buying, ask brands about their osmolality levels. If it’s over the WHO’s strict maximum, don’t buy it. If a brand can’t or won’t tell you their osmolality, it’s best to pass.
And for those with repetitive yeast infection issues, choose a lube with an osmolality around 350 mOsm/kg or below, as well as avoiding allergens, menthol and mentholated ingredients. Good Clean Love is a great example of a low-osmolality brand.
(At EXSENS our personal lubricants have an osmolality of around 600 mOsm/kg.)
FINAL THOUGHTS
Being informed about your lubricant choices can make a significant difference in your comfort and health. Always read ingredients, understand what they mean and choose wisely. Empower yourself with knowledge and take control of your lube choices.
Happy exploring!

Hathor SUTIL: Paving the Way for the Modern-Day Lubricant
By Simone Paget
When we hear the phrase ‘thriving family business’, the last thing that comes to mind is personal lubricant. But Mellta and Nathanda Swift, the mother and daughter team behind Hathor/SUTIL, have done just that and created a luxury line of lubricant that’s become a cult favorite among sex educators, medical profes-
sionals and sex-positive, savvy consumers alike.
SUTIL (pronounced “Soo Teel”) means “subtle” in Spanish, which is the perfect descriptor for the line as a whole. From its understated minimal packaging to its sleek feel, “Much of the appeal is what’s absent. You barely notice SUTIL is there. It feels so natural. No residue, no stickiness, no fragrance, no taste, no chemicals,” says Mellta.
At a time when customers are becoming more educated and empowered in terms of the quality of the products they use for sex, Hathor/ SUTIL products have a refreshingly small ingredient list. Available in two formulations – Luxe and Rich — SUTIL lubricants are made with eco-certified ingredients, which means they don’t contain GMOs, parabens, phenoxyethanol, nanoparticles, silicon, PEG, synthetic perfumes and dyes, or animal-derived ingredients. All formulations are also free gluten, glycerin, and petrochemical-free. Without common irritants, SUTIL is considered a Holy Grail product for people prone to sensitivities, yeast infections and UTIs. “SUTIL is recommended by Doctors, Gynaecologists, Pelvic Floor therapists and Sex Educators,” Mellta shares proudly. In addition to using eco-certified ingre-
dients, the Swifts have taken extra care to ensure their lubes are pH-balanced and blend seamlessly with natural body fluids. SUTIL Luxe is a lightweight, silky lube with a pH balance of 4.5, which is optimal for the vagina. Whereas, SUTIL Rich has a luxurious, gel-like consistency and a Ph of 6, which is optimal for the anus, but well in the range for the vagina.
It’s this attention to detail that’s driven their cult-like following with their lubricants striking the perfect balance be-

tween being both incredibly gentle and wildly effective — both Luxe and Rich have the ultra-long-lasting slip-and-slide of a silicone lubricant without the silicone. Additionally, Mellta says, “The herbal extracts in Hathor/SUTIL lubes are soothing and have natural antiseptic qualities.”
Building on the popularity of SUTIL lubricants, they’ve expanded the line to include three true-taste lubricants: coconut, mint and vanilla. Like their other products, SUTIL flavours are sugar and glycerine-free, and pH balanced so they don’t interfere with your intimate flora.
While there’s been a push toward more natural sexual wellness products, Hathor/SUTIL has been active in bringing clean products to the market long before it was mainstream. Hathor/SUTIL’s journey began in 1989 with essential oil-infused massage oils, sourced from organic and ethically cultivated plants. This passion for sustainability and natural ingredients developed into a luxurious line of therapeutic skincare products for destination spas.
As Mellta shares, “Hathor/SUTIL is known for its expertise in aromatherapy.” They’ve applied this knowledge, skill, and commitment to quality in creating their Love Potions #17 and #23. Made with an intoxicating blend of aphrodisiac essential oils, “When you breathe in the vapours released by the essential oils they travel
through the olfactory system to the limbic portion of the brain, which controls blood pressure, sexual impulses and consequent euphoria,” she says. The Love Potions offer a full mind-body experience to enhance sensual play when used for massage, bath or as a fragrant aphrodisiac body oil.
In 2000, Hathor ventured into personal lubricants, realizing the need for a healthy, natural alternative. As Mellta explains, sex is an essential part of overall wellness. “We believe that the products you choose for sex should be as natural and healing as your facial and other personal care products,” she says.
Applying the same quality standards from its spa line, Hathor/SUTIL introduced a water-based herbal lube – Hathor Lubricant Pure. Made with seven simple ingredients, Hathor Lubricant Pure quickly gained a dedicated following and is still part of their line.
Launched in 2015, SUTIL represents the pinnacle of the brand’s commitment to purity and ethical manufacturing. “We cannot escape the fact that manufacturing has a huge footprint. However, we can choose sustainable

raw materials with minimal greenhouse gas effects in their production,” shares Mellta.
The Swifts’ commitment to environmentalism is part of their legacy. “We see it as a responsibility essential to the health of our families, our customers, and the planet,” explains Mellta.
After all, Hathor/SUTIL is more than a business, it’s a family endeavour. Mellta and Nathanda have balanced work, family and creativity for more than 30 years, with
Jonny, Mellta’s son, joining five years ago to support expansion. Based in Victoria, BC, Mellta says, “We are a family of artists and dancers. A family that works, creates, and plays together.” This holistic approach has allowed the company to grow steadily while maintaining its commitment to natural, high-quality products.
That isn’t to say that there haven’t been obstacles. “Operating a small two-woman company in the corporate world has sometimes been challenging. We were ahead of our time in putting a natural lube on the market, so we had to educate our customers,” shares Mellta.
She credits much of SUTIL’s success to word-ofmouth marketing. It was through sex-positive, women and LGBT-owned sex stores, that they found their niche. Mellta says, “These boutiques considered the health, safety, and ethical manufacturing processes in the Adult industry. They also offered an educational component to their business.”
Education has been key to their growth and success. For all the strides we’ve made toward sex positivity, there are still misconceptions and hang-ups
around using lubricants, namely that there’s something wrong with needing to use lube – something that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Hathor/SUTIL hopes that by continuing to make high-quality, eco-certified sexual health products, they can encourage people to ditch lube-shaming for good. As Mellta reminds us, “There are so many reasons to use lube. The obvious is to add moisture where it is lacking due to hormonal imbalances caused by menopause, illness and medications.” However, many people simply want a healthy way to enhance sexual pleasure. “Lube is used by folk of all ages and sexual expression,” she shares.
While running a sex-positive family business may seem unconventional to many, the Swifts are proud that their lube is widely recommended and available. “It is such a privilege to be on the bedside tables of lovers across Canada, the U.S. and now around the world,” says Mellta.
Hathor/Sutil is a labour of love. Mellta says, creating ethical, healthy products, “It’s our way of spreading the love because we truly believe and have printed it on our tubes, “All We Need Is Love.”
The love being reciprocated by consumers is proof that sometimes the most subtle touch can make the biggest impact.

THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF WARRANTIES
How the Forgotten Promise of a Warranty Program can Impact Your Business
By Emma Wilson
In a world of 24” dongs and life-size sex dolls, warranty programs often – understandably –fall by the wayside. Out of all the problems that face our industry (advertising, shipping costs, making sure dildos have just the right number of veins without going over the top), it’s easy to forget about offering a fair and effective warranty replacement program. However, there’s nothing sexier than replacing someone’s broken sex toy. Selling quality products is the backbone of any business, but what’s the point if you can’t stand by them? Warranties encourage a feeling of confidence among consumers as well as provide crucial feedback you may not be receiving from your distributors or stores.
Assuring satisfaction is the core of any adult toy company, and warranties essentially promise your customer that you’ve got their back, and your products will give them multiple orgasms for years to come. While being thoroughly uninteresting, warranty programs are the most sure-fire way to offer peace of mind to your consumers. Nothing sells like sex and confidence, and there’s nothing that shows off an adult toy brand’s confidence like lengthy warranty coverage.
Not only that, but a company boasting an effective and long warranty scheme is a huge selling point in today’s market. Getting your products on the shelf is one thing, but when they’re surrounded by other toys that offer competitive price points, a million different vibration functions, and an AI setting that suggests what porn is best suited to your zodiac sign, making your toy stand out is challenging to say the least. That’s where the warranty comes in: sure, the Love Rabbit Vibrating Dong Robot 5000 is slightly cheaper, but this other toy has a comprehensive warranty program that covers you for five years if your toy breaks down. And with the company’s customer service being amazing, doesn’t the choice seem slightly easier now?
Hearing that your product isn’t working as advertised is disheartening to say the least. But in the unfortunate situation that your toy does not provide the most earth-shattering orgasms known to man, you’re also presented with an interesting opportunity. During the warranty process, the customer gets to air out any problems they’ve faced with their toy, and here is where you can take advantage. Ask yourself the question: is this customer experiencing a one-off problem, or is this a common issue that multiple customers are bringing to the warranty program?
“
Selling quality products is the backbone of any business, but what’s the point if you can’t stand by them? Warranties encourage a feeling of confidence among consumers as well as provide crucial feedback you may not be receiving from
your distributors or stores.
“
Staying up to date with how your products are performing is what keeps your brand fresh and exciting. Receiving feedback from your distributors and stores is great, but if you want unfiltered opinions then you need to branch out to those who use your products for pleasure, not for profit. If you find a persistent issue across the board with a particular product, you now have the opportunity to bring this up with manufacturers and fix the issue from the source. Warranties do not have to start and end in the customer service department after all. In this sense, they are equally as important to the company as they are to the consumer.
Congratulations! You’ve received your first warranty claim! Now what?...
Here is where the fun really begins: following through on the promise. It’s disappointing enough for the customer knowing their Pleasure Machine Stroker Vibrating Toy 69.0 has seen its last orgasm, but then finding the warranty program sold with the toy is actually unattainable as well is the icing on the most bitter of cakes. To them, that’s the final nail in the coffin.
Advertising a lengthy warranty may get you that initial sale, but maintaining an effective re-
placement program with satisfactory customer service on top is what keeps customers coming back to your brand. Tracking your warranty claims and ensuring replacements are shipped quickly and efficiently is what will give your customers satisfied smiles and curled toes.
Providing a warranty program is one of the most overlooked aspects of the adult toy industry, and that’s such a massive shame. From assuring your customers that your brand has confidence in their products, to making your products stand out in a saturated market, to taking advantage of customer feedback, offering this essential piece of customer service to your consumers has a plethora of benefits for your business. No company wants its products to fall short, but if they do, delivering on your promise to send out a replacement gives you a second chance to secure a life-long customer. Overall, the product itself may get your customer through the door, but a warranty program and exceptional customer service is what will keep them coming back for more.

Health and Wellness Benefits of Orgasms
by Kristen Tribby
Having orgasms isn’t just a way to bring more pleasure into your life—it can improve your mental and physical health with its many benefits. A climax a day keeps the doctor away, but many people aren’t aware of the positive impacts of orgasming regularly. Diet, fitness and mindfulness all play into conversations about wellness, but sexual activity is absolutely a major part of self-care that needs to be talked about more often due to its science-backed benefits.
IT’S GREAT FOR YOUR BODY
Solo or partnered play can reduce pain due to the endorphins released, eliminating cramps or that frustrating headache that just won’t go away. Masturbation and sex are a form of mild exercise that raises your heart rate and may lower the risk of heart disease. Finally, sex strengthens your immune system. Not many people know that white blood cell levels are increased in the body post-orgasm, making your body more resilient to fight off illnesses. Additionally, orgasms benefit the pelvic floor.
IT HAS MENTAL HEALTH PERKS AND CAN IMPROVE RELATIONSHIPS
There are also many mental benefits to having orgasms regularly. Think of it as a way to keep your stress, anxiety and sleeplessness at bay! Because of the cocktail of chemicals that are released, people often report a mood boost and feeling of well-being after orgasm. Similarly, anyone suffering from insomnia can benefit from the melatonin released by orgasm, which aids in falling asleep and makes you feel naturally drowsier.
For those playing with a partner, these chemicals can also improve feelings of closeness, helping you feel more satisfied in your relationship. These feelings of closeness can also help you explore new territory in your sex life, like pegging for straight couples,
different fantasies or the wide spectrum of BDSM, creating even more fulfilling sexual experiences.
“ A climax a day keeps the doctor away, but many people aren’t aware of the positive impacts of orgasming regularly. Diet, fitness and mindfulness all play into conversations about wellness, but sexual activity is absolutely a major part of self-care that needs to be talked about more often due to its science-backed benefits.
“
DIFFERENT KINDS OF ORGASMS
For those of us with a busy lifestyle, having sex with our partners regularly throughout the week isn’t realistic, and there’s no shame in that. Masturbating offers the same perks! While there’s nothing wrong with using your hands, incorporating sexual wellness products into your self-care routine can spice things up and help you discover new sensations.

There’s more than one way to come—our erogenous zones are practically infinite and unique to each person. Internally, cis women have the G-spot, the A-spot and the clitoris, while cis men have the P-spot, aka the prostate. A lot of people also enjoy stimulation of the perineum, or the area between the anus and genitals.
HOW TO USE SEX TOYS FOR BETTER ORGASMS
Vibrators and other sex toys can help you reach the right areas more effectively and, in some cases, even stimulate multiple spots at once. Many women can’t reach orgasm without clitoral
stimulation, which pleasure products can help with. You can experiment with both motorized and non-motorized toys. FUN FACTORY sex toys act as a highquality, reliable introduction with
One of my favorite nonmotorized options is our new release, RYDE, which is incredibly versatile. Its unique U-shape is like a saddle that every person can grind on. It can be used as a dildo, a butt plug, or a way to explore double penetration, and the super-sturdy suction base allows for harness free-play on a variety of surfaces. People who like the feeling of stretching can insert both ends into the vagina
For those interested in pegging or those looking to explore strap-on play without the harness, SHARE VIBE PRO is one of the best sex toys for couples. It’s the most powerful double dildo on the market. It really packs a punch with its motor and targets all those delicious internal spots with accuracy. It’s designed with an adjustable hinge and a ridge that minimizes muscle strain and
The award-winning penis vibrator MANTA is a great option for non-penetrative toys, as is the rechargeable vibrator LAYA III, a layon vibe that cradles all the right spots with various strengths and patterns.
THE WETTER, THE BETTER
No matter what sex toy you opt for, using lube can enhance your experience tenfold. It’s a must for areas of the body that don’t naturally selflubricate, can reduce discomfort, and makes for a more pleasurable session and a better orgasm! Although there are many types of lubes, since our toys are made from body-safe silicone, it’s important to use a water-based lube to preserve the quality of the toys.
My go-to brand is SUTIL, which has long been considered one of the best eco-friendly lubes with an optimal pH for the body. SUTIL RICH is their cushiest, most plush choice, and it’s the best water-based lube in terms of a long-lasting thickness that rivals silicone lube. SUTIL LUXE is a little more lightweight. Both have hyaluronic acid, which offers long-term hydration.
RELAX AND LEARN ABOUT YOUR BODY
Regularly reaching climax has so many health and wellness perks, just like working out and eating well! It not only ensures that you learn about your desires and what feels good, but also
gives you more autonomy over your sexuality. It helps you connect with yourself and become more confident as a person. It’s one of the most empowering things you can do.

Embracing Diversity: A Bold Vision for Sexual Wellness
By Ian Kulp
In the ever-shifting landscape of sexual wellness, the imperative for a more inclusive approach is undeniable. From sexual orientation and gender identity to relationships, pleasure and the utilization of sex toys, embracing diversity should be at the forefront of our collective mindset.
At its core, this movement advocates for a more accepting society that moves beyond mere tolerance to actively celebrate the vast spectrum of human experiences. Drawing from various studies and societal shifts, the evidence is clear – embracing diversity in sexual orientation and gender identity leads to healthier, happier individuals. Numerous research findings indicate that inclusive environments contribute positively to mental health, self-esteem and overall well-being.
Consider the groundbreaking work of organizations like The Trevor Project, which actively supports LGBTQ+ youth and highlights the importance of fostering understanding and acceptance. These initiatives showcase the tangible benefits of embracing diverse sexual orientations and identities, challenging existing prejudices and paving the way for a more inclusive society.
When discussing sexual expression, it’s crucial to reference the empowering stories of individuals who have broken free from societal norms. Take, for example, the Sex Positive Movement, a collective effort challenging outdated views on sexuality. Through candid conversations and advocacy, it highlights the importance of embracing diverse forms of sexual expression, creating a space for authentic exploration and personal freedom.
“At its core, this movement advocates for a more accepting society that moves beyond mere tolerance to actively celebrate the vast spectrum of human experiences. Drawing from various studies and societal shifts, the evidence is clear –embracing diversity in sexual orientation and gender identity leads to healthier, happier individuals.
Relationship dynamics have also witnessed a revolution. Examining the experiences of those who have embraced unconventional relationship structures reveals the positive impact of breaking away from traditional moulds. Individuals who engage in consensual non-monogamous relationships report higher levels of communication, trust and satisfaction, debunking the myth that there’s a one-size-fits-all approach to relationships.
Delving into the realm of pleasure, various studies indicate the profound effects
of acknowledging and celebrating diverse desires. Sex education programs that embrace a comprehensive understanding of pleasure contribute to healthier sexual attitudes and practices. Organizations like OMGYes have emerged as pioneers in providing accessible, evidence-based information on female pleasure, breaking the silence surrounding women’s sexual experiences.
Regarding sex toys, it’s essential to cite the growing acknowledgment of their positive impact on sexual well-being. Studies show that couples who incorporate sex toys into their intimate lives report increased satisfaction and communication. Recognizing the efficacy and normalcy of these tools fosters a more open dialogue around sexual pleasure and overall satisfaction.
In a world constantly evolving, it’s high time we reevaluate our perspectives on sexual wellness. The tapestry of human experiences encompasses a wide spectrum of sexual orientation, gender identity, expression, relationships, pleasure and the use of sex toys. It’s crucial to foster an environment that not only acknowledges this diversity but celebrates it.
Beginning with sexual orientation and gender identity, societal progress has been made, but the fight for genuine acceptance persists. Beyond mere tolerance, active celebration and support for the LGBTQ+ community are crucial. Notable figures like Laverne Cox, an advocate for transgender rights, exemplify the impact of representation in dismantling stereotypes and fostering understanding.
Moving to sexual expression, societal expectations often clash with personal desires. The #FreeTheNipple movement, led by activists like Scout Willis, challenges the double standards applied to male and female nudity, promoting a more inclusive understanding of personal expression. It’s a reminder that true sexual liberation comes when individuals feel free to express themselves authentically.
In relationships, breaking away from societal norms is paramount for fostering healthier connections. Individuals like relationship expert Esther Perel champion a nuanced understanding of relationships, emphasizing communication, consent and the importance of embracing diverse relationship structures.
Pleasure, a fundamental aspect of the human experience, should be liberated from the shadows of shame. Sexual health educator and therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer has long advocated for open discussions around pleasure, emphasizing its positive impact on mental and physical well-being. Dr. Ruth’s work exemplifies the importance of breaking down barriers and fostering inclusive conversations.
Now, onto the often-overlooked world of sex toys. These tools of pleasure have been shrouded in stigma for too long. Research studies, such as those conducted by Dr. Justin Lehmiller, a social psychologist and research fellow at The Kinsey Institute, provide evidence of the positive impact sex toys can have on sexual well-being, communication and satisfaction. Acknowledging their role
“Regarding sex toys, it’s essential to cite the growing acknowledgment of their positive impact on sexual well-being. Studies show that couples who incorporate sex toys into their intimate lives report increased satisfaction and communication.
“
in a healthy, consensual sexual journey is a step toward a more enlightened and inclusive perspective.
In conclusion, the path to a more inclusive and holistic approach to sexual wellness requires a collective effort. It involves dismantling outdated norms, fostering understanding, and celebrating the diversity that makes us unique. By embracing a mindset that recognizes the validity of various sexual orientations, gender identities, expressions, relationships, pleasure preferences and the use of sex toys, we can create a world where
everyone feels seen, heard, and accepted in their authentic selves.
As we navigate this journey, let’s remember that diversity is not a challenge to be overcome but a treasure to be celebrated. By spotlighting figures and movements that champion inclusivity, we reinforce the argument that embracing diversity in sexual wellness is not only a moral imperative but a key to personal and societal growth. It’s time to break free from the chains of societal expectations and build a future where sexual wellness is truly inclusive, empowering and liberating for all.

Pipedream Products’ Fuck Flask
What are the creative minds from Pipedream going to come up with next? I got it! Introducing The Fuck Flask! Discreetly shaped like a typical, high-end metal water bottle, this handy stroker will let you rub one out no matter where you are. Simply unscrew the base to expose an eager, realistic pussy that can’t wait for you to plunge inside. Slide your thumb into the handy holding hole and pump away. Add a little suction sensation by flipping the water sipping feature on the cap for extra thrills.
After you unleash your load into the Fuck Flask, just yank it out and give it a good rinsing, let it air dry, then give it a toss with cornstarch to keep it from getting sticky. You never know when you’re going to get thirsty for another fuck in the flask!

We Vibe Sync O
From the wonderful minds at We Vibe comes the newly-designed Sync O, presenting a different shape from its typical We Vibe. With the sturdy, external, vibrating clit stimulator that we’re all familiar with, the design takes a new and fabulous approach to the internal section of this dual action vibe. Instead of a solid, insertable vibe, the Sync O is a flexible “O” shape that can be gently squeezed to slip inside. On one side of the O is a powerful motor that’s operable on the app or with the remote control and coordinates with the external vibrator as well.
By Kim Airs
This new incarnation thrilled me endlessly. I especially love the interior design of it as it was extremely comfortable and stayed put throughout not only my solo session but when I slid it in for the partner ins and outs. It’s so comfy, I can wear it like an two way panty vibe, satisfying me on the outside as well as the inside. In short, I love this vibe and I’m sure countless fans of the We Vibe will, too.

Check. Want some licking action to give you some enjoyable rimming? Check. This versatile little wonder can do all that!
It’s super cute and discreet enough that it makes a wonderful gift for a first timer as well as a lovely wedding or shower gift. You’ll want to stock plenty of them for this warm weather, cupcake eatin,’ gift giving season!

Honey Play Box Oly 2
Finally, a vibe that’s marketed for its versatility instead of directing a buyer to get it as an anal vibe, which is what one would assume it is upon first glance. Two strong motors supply the oomph: one in the generous bulbed head and the other at the tip of the delightfully shaped flange, which can either be used as a clit stimulator or a perineum pleasure point. The incredibly narrow neck lets it stay put if you want to slide it in between willing sphincters or gives you the opportunity to practice your kegels around a thin neck between your thighs. Since it’s silicone, you can easily use it for either after a quick cleaning!
As with most Honey Play Box toys, simply use the app for extra thrills and to make it a fun, hands-free couples toy. Or use it yourself and keep it as your own little secret during a boring office meeting. It’s quiet enough that no one will notice but you might have to silence your orgasmic squeals once you hit the “play”.

If class and tastefulness was made into a vibrator, it would be the Coconu Wave massager. In the rarely seen colour of light beige, it fits comfortably in one palm for instant pleasure whenever, and wherever, you want. The curved teardrop shape has a softly padded tip that makes wandering around your vulva a real treat and the single, recessed button on the base to control the 10 speeds is easy and intuitive to use.
I really love this little vibe. It’s compact and I can throw it in my bag when I travel since it comes with its own faux suede carrying bag. There’s a slight indented shape in the body that I can use for just a little bit of additional stimulation or press my thumb on it for some extra control. The soft silicone skin feels great no matter where I let it dance around my body. It’s a real treat!

Wave Personal Massager Satisfyer Seal You Soon
Overdose on cuteness with this palm-sized, dual-action toy that’s sure to invoke smiles before and during use. The open mouth of this adorable vibe hides an 11-speed air pulse that can be intertwined with 12 speeds of vibration fun. Simply turn it on and let the seal’s mouth dive onto your clit or spin it around to have the cute little split tail vibrate exactly where it feels good.
Like most Satisfyer toys, you let your seal be controlled by its award-winning app, adding to the fun this little air pulse toy can bring. It gets my Seal of Approval!

Sometimes all you need is a nice, basic, silicone, rechargeable vibrator to do the trick. Or maybe there’s a first-time buyer who doesn’t know where to start but wants something simple and easy to use. Fitting the bill for both desires, this handy little, fivespeed cutie is waterproof and a snap to use. With the controls on the base and really subtle ridges, it’ll be just enough to enjoy without too many distractions of extra functions. Smooth and compact at only about 15cm (6”) long and a mere 3.5cm (1.4”) wide, it also makes a perfect gift for a nervous first timer.
Be sure to stock up on this basic vibe because your customers will certainly want to have one.
Take the mystery out of massaging every nerve ending in a juicy vulva with the unique new Legato. Looking like a vibrating cock ring, that’s where the similarity stops. This versatile vibrator supports four independent motors around its perimeter, which is made to fit comfortably in the soft petals surrounding one’s vaginal opening. Simply press the control buttons on the front of the vibe or use it through the app to customize the speeds and functions, then snuggle against the strong motors that circulate through countless of speeds and patterns. The adjustable opening in the center allows for effortless penetration during use, whether by a penis or a favorite dildo.
I liked using it in my palm and pressing against my happy vulva, grinding away on it through many speeds. I added my favorite, straight shafted vibrator to the center of my universe and when combined with the Legato, effortlessly launched me into orgasmland. It was also a pleasure to use against my girly parts under a strap on harness and it was strong enough to transfer the vibrations not only against my body but my partner’s as well. The ways to use this clever vibe are amazing and I’m sure you’ll think of other pleasure producing ideas, too!

When you think of the letter F in our business, of course you’re thinking of the word “fuck” and in this case, that’s exactly what it stands for, surrounded by the words “Unbelievable Fucking Object.” With cheeky, space-age descriptions on the outer (space) sleeve, the temptation to slide it open and enjoy its action is immediate. Beautifully packaged in a sturdy storage box, this pure silicone, white wonder vibrates, sucks, hugs and throbs every inch of your turgid rocket ship while you easily grasp the canister and press the mission controls.
The interior gets you ready for liftoff with countless nubs and deep ridges created as your comfortable launching pad. The over 50 unique programs for mission control are ideal for when you’re discovering the depths of your orgasmic orbit, which will no doubt launch you into your own Milky Way.
Viben Symphony
When you are spending your hard-earned dollars on a nice pleasure product, adding versatility to your shopping list is an easy way to get more value on your purchase. Now along comes Viben’s Symphony, a delightful vibe that provides several satisfaction selections to get what you’ve been looking for.
With a swiveling head, this royal purple silicone beauty sports three different motors to power the suction end of the head as well as the smooth, vibrating tip on the other end. Simply give it a twist when you want either sensation for fun, external thrills. The perfectly curved g-spot internal shaft sports seven speeds to take you where you want to go. Three conveniently-placed buttons control the speeds and functions of each of the motors allowing you to select where you want to pinpoint your pleasure, whether inside or outside.
Packaged complete with a satiny black storage bag, this is one beauty you’ll want to cherish for a long, long time.

WhipSmart Thrusting Sex Machine
Why get one of those bulky, thrusting sex machines that take too much room and make too much noise? Here’s the best alternative for you for packing in pleasure so you can ditch worrying how to store it, plug it in, and all that other stuff. It’s a portable sex machine, a 13.5 cm (5 ½”) long, 3.5cm (1 ¼”) wide, silicone, royal purple thruster that expands a full 4cm (1 ½”) for deep, penetrating massage. Easy to use as a handheld thruster, it also offers a few other ways to use it to increase your fun. Try it with the remote control to let it dash through the 10 speeds and three thrusting modes or use the detachable mount at the base that allows you to pivot the angle up to 180° to really thrust deep inside, no matter what position you’re in.
Nice and quiet, the shaft even holds sliding beads under its silicone skin to provide even more thrills during use. What I love about it most is that it doesn’t even look like a large thrusting machine, just a nice, thrusting toy that’s capable of doing so much more.

JimmyJane’s Hello Touch Pro
Since I’ve been in the sex toy novelty field for over thirty years, it takes a lot to blow me away when it comes to innovative products that defy description, but I’ll try. It’s been a long time since I have been unapologetically overwhelmed by an amazing product. If this sounds like I don’t know what to say, it’s because there are no words that can describe how incredibly impressed I am with this new and creative item. Here goes: designed to look like a pair of AirPods, with their discreet size and convenient carrying case that’s also their charger, it’s a pair of two, finger sized, multispeed, easy to hold, zippy massagers that have a silicone tip at the end. Use them by themselves or slip them into the included silicone sleeves, then slide them onto your fingers for extra fun.
But it gets even better. Not only does the carrying case keep them clean as well as charges them, there’s also a little button on the front that becomes the wireless remote control to get the two finger massagers really flyin.’ I am truly amazed.
And truth be told, I got to see these when they were in the development stage, and I was rendered speechless. Now they are on the market, I still am. The possibilities for the Hello Touch Pro are absolutely endless and I’ll be there for everything.
