It depends how popular they are in the adult community. How enthusiastically they want to promote their toy also plays a big role in the deciding process.

Anyone have any California Exotic toy on their wishlist right now? I really want the Butterfly Kiss. It looks really cool, awesome shape. Plus pink or purple, that's what I like.

The Luxe Rejuvenate is pretty incredible too. 7 different speeds and pulses!

How did you choose the very vibrant magenta you used in the Jopen line? I got a chance to see a couple in the flesh this week, and it was definitely quite the eye-catcher!

If you do, please let me know how it looks, because I love doing stuff like that. The only thing I'm nervous about is this particular color with a bright pink and my purple making me look like a "mid 90's windbreaker" as my husband so eloquently put it a few months ago, lol

That's pretty awesome. I'd love to see more games, but I'm a bit of a nerd who loves board games, lol

The Platinum Butterfly Kiss is made from other materials if you wanted to try something aside from Jelly as well. (I've heard good things about the Platinum one!)

I love splat! I mix the red and purple for my hair dye.

I have to go, but thank you all so much for taking the time out of your day to answer questions. I, too, am now insanely curious about this FDA sex appliance. Can't wait to see it on the market.

We see more safe&pure options, green toys, wireless & waterproof.

I hope to see some anal safe toys in the Jopen line. Honestly, even though I would still use most of them, I would love to see some that were safe for back-door fun. My ass is jealous.

I got all my hair dyed with some bad blue hairdye from a salon... turned green the next few washings and everyone called me sea-weed head.

Should not really share any unless you sterilize them, but true, the older Jelly PVC is porous. We recommend condoms if sharing...or, our patented Toy Covers that come in 2 sizes...it hasn't caught on yet, but as the industry expands they will.

How big users are you of your own products. Do you often look at your own stuff and say i need that? Or is it like losing your taste for ice cream after working in an ice cream shop?

The only thing I have is the crystal chic wand on Mr's list.

Actually, there are some things that I'm not sure if they're Cal Ex or not because they're glass and they have a lot of companies that might manufacture through them.

I'd actually second this. Sure, I don't have a prostate, but anal-specific toys would be exciting.

Silicone is great and doesn't have to be expensive. Check out our Lia or L'amour line. We tried to price it just right!

I think the toy covers are a great idea! I think toy covers just for rabbit style toys would be cool too.

Wow, I hadn't heard of Toy Covers but they're a really good idea! If they're not on Eden yet, talk to the folks who keep our stock, because I would be very interested!

Splat and Special Effects are the only two brands of dye I recommend, I often go with the SF because I can buy just the dye and they have more colors available, lol. The red and purple does sound like a very interesting combination!
