The vr 12 is one of e most popular Vanity items in the JOPEN line. It covers all the bases.

I have California Exotics toys from 3 years ago that have shown me the longer, stronger toy life is definitely something you guys are accomplishing!

Why did you choose to start the sexual wellness blog? I've heard a lot about it! What are some of the outcomes that you've seen from it?

We did adjust our prices. But we do feel that in these tough economic times people will do whatever they can for pleasure!!

I just got a waterproof jack rabbit in pink. It doesn't say anywhere but I'm wondering if it contains phalates or not.

It is hard to pick one though. The neat thing about Vanity is the different varieties really offer something for everyone.

It didn't catch on at first was because men were the only ones buying toys. They didn't see a need for it.
Now of course we know it's amazing. Sometimes it's the only time we have to be alone & we want it to be pleasurable

Another of the awesome way you folks help out the consumer.

The ring I bought was to small and hard plastic does not like to be over worked. No worries though, I swapped the egg/ring with another egg while making the cord longer. I even made it into a work shop.

So even with all the really awesome and well thought out toys, you guys still manage to have a nice corner on the novelty market. I personally love novelty items and get such a big kick out of them. How does the company decide what things work as a gag and what things aren't even worth trying out? Have you had some gag gift/novelty items that you expected to do well and didn't?

How come you hate jelly toys? I've heard that from a lot of people but don't get why. Probably because I'm a newb. =p

You bet...we are using packaging that is printed to FSC standards (Forestry Stewardship Council) standards...good for the environment, good for everyone. We spec as much as we can as recyclable.

We have a couple that works with us, dr. Jessica & ryan. We wanted a way to give real advice from professionals, and this has given us the opportunity.
We are currently working on revamping our blog & sexual wellness site. Just wait & see

We have over 400 products in development at any given time! The one that I'm excited about is based on a design that is an FDA approved medical device. The device was designed by a doctor. He, shall we say, accidentally discovered it gave female patients orgasms. I can't reveal too much, but I am sure you'll love it when it hits the market in a few months!
