09.07.2014 | Huntington Beach, California, USA – Sportsheets is set to debut two brand new product collections at the upcoming ANME Founders Show in sunny Burbank, California, and prepared to set a new precedence in two growing product categories.
Sportsheets Plus will take the spotlight as the industry’s first-ever Plus line of sex toys, positioning tools and strap-ons made for big, beautiful couples while Edge by Sportsheets will leave a lasting impression with the Cadillac of leather BDSM gear.
Sportsheets Plus is comprised of quality sexual positioning devices and strap-on harnesses with added features – longer straps, longer and wider supports and pads, and greater adjustability to assure the perfect, most comfortable fit – designed for sizes 12 to 30. With more than 55% of women purchasing clothing sized 16 or larger and 62% identifying as being overweight, Sportsheets Plus recognizes the necessity to provide sexy, sensual options for every body type and reminds consumers and retailers alike that healthy, satisfying sex has no bounds.
“Sportsheets Plus speaks to the confident and sexually curious consumer who identifies as plus size but refuses to accept the negative attitude that often overshadows larger women – and men, too – as sexual beings,” Sportsheets President Julie Stewart said. “There is a burgeoning resurgence of sex-positive celebrations of all shapes and sizes and Sportsheets Plus embraces and honors it with top-of-the-line designs.”
“Each item was tested by women who wear sizes 20-28 and their feedback was excellent,” Stewart said. “Their essential responses and suggestions played an important role in the production process and there are many more item already in the pipeline as a result.”
The Sportsheets team will showcase Sportsheets Plus and Edge by Sportsheets at the ANME Founders Show July 12-14 with a special event promotion for all qualifying customers.
08.07.2014 | Los Angeles, California, USA – California Exotic Novelties promises to be the coolest booth at the July ANME Show. New collections, the partnership with Vivid to create Vivid Raw, a two-day radio broadcast with Vivid Radio on SiriusXM, the latest product videos, and the continuous celebration of the company’s 20th Anniversary shall make it a well-visited booth at the show.
Susan Colvin, President and CEO of California Exotic Novelties, says, “The entire California Exotic Novelties’ staff is euphoric about the show. This summer’s ANME promises to be the best show ever. We are ready to celebrate this summer at ANME! Our booth is going to be full of activity and we invite everyone attending ANME to come by and see our new collections, check out the radio broadcast, and find out what new innovations are in store during the coming months.”One of the most outstanding collections to premier is Vivid Raw. A partnership with Vivid Entertainment, Vivid Raw consists of dolls, strokers, masturbators and life-sized pieces.
ANME attendees are encouraged to stop by and see the Vivid Raw products, especially the Super Model doll. This doll is 100-percent fully molded and lifelike. Inner inflation means they control how firm or soft she is. The lifelike vagina and anus are plushy soft, tight, and made of Pure Skin Material. Measuring 5’8” with legs that never end, long flowing blond hair, and a lifelike face, this doll sets a higher standard. California Exotic Novelties is so confident in the quality of this, and all the products in the Vivid Raw Collection, that every item is backed with a one-year warranty.
In honor of the unveiling of Vivid Raw, Vivid Radio on SiriusXM will be broadcasting from the CalExotics booth on Saturday and Sunday from 1pm to 3pm each day. Attendees are invited to come by and watch as Vivid girls and special guests are interviewed.
Another exciting collection to be unveiled is Impress.

08.07.2014 | Huntington Beach, California, USA – XR Brands is proud to debut Master-Bot, the first automated stroker to revolutionize the male masturbator category with an exhilarating motorized design. With the push of a button, Master-Bot turns into a massage machine emulating the up-and-down, back-and-forth movements men make during solo sessions – and with the addition of soft ticklers and a textured interior, men can sit back and let their Master-Bot do all the work.
Featuring a hollow interior, Master-Bot envelops the user in a soft and sensual chamber that wraps around men of almost any size for an intensely different stroking experience. Within the interior sleeve lies rows of strategically placed TPR ticklers that massage and hug the shaft as the stroker emulates typical masturbatory motions. Boasting two speeds, Master-Bot lets users build their way up to an explosive finish using a simple push-button control with a motorized design at the height of stroker technology.
“Sex toys for men are hot on the market so we took the traditional and turned it into something high-tech that would appeal to men of all ages and lifestyles,” XR Brands General Manager Randy Alvstad said. “Automation is key and we were able to design a dual-chamber system that would allow for smooth, languid movement without any extra effort from the user. Master-Bot can be hand-held, of course, but the possibilities for hands-free enjoyment are almost endless – we suggest users try positioning it between pillows and getting creative with their new favorite sex toy.”
Master-Bot is one of the latest technology advanced designs coming out of the renowned LoveBotz line of modern sex machines and will make its debut at the upcoming ANME Founders Show July 12-14 in sunny Burbank, Calif. Visit booth #104/105 for interactive demos.
The full LoveBotz line also will be viewable in XR Brands’ first-ever full line print catalog, which will be available at the company’s ANME show booth.
