The recent XBIZ Awards – held in Los Angeles, California – saw two more awards added to Planet Earth’s catalogue, thanks to FixSation and XR Brands.

FixSation, this year’s must-have couples toy, won the award for Best Couples Pleasure Product of the Year whilst XR Brands, known in the UK for Wand Essentials and Clean Stream, won BDSM Pleasure Product Company of the Year.

Wowing the judges with its unique take on couples pleasure, FixSation has been designed so that it provides clitoral pleasure without obstructing the vaginal entrance. This increases comfort for both partners and ensures that the FixSation vibrator does not dominate the experience and ruin intimacy.

XR Brands won favour after the introduction of the Master Series, which followed other successful BDSM products like Size Matters pumps, Clean Stream enemas and the sensational Zeus Electrosex range, which recently underwent a rebranding exercise which formed a platform for the launch of a collection of new accessories.

Speaking about the awards, Louise Boote, Managing Director for Planet Earth, said: “Planet Earth maintains its stance as a market leader when it comes to predicting consumer trends and these awards illustrate we continue to be ahead of the market when it comes to sourcing products and helping our partners build their brand.

“It has been a pleasure working with XR Brands and FixSation over the last twelve months. Both companies offer fantastic products that consumer’s love, which makes our job easy. They deserve the success and to win such a prestigious award for all of their efforts.”

Both FixSation and XR Brands’ products are available exclusively through Planet Earth, current holders of ETO’s Best Adult Pleasure Products Distributor and the Erotixxx Award for Best Product Assortment.

Big Teaze Toys is excited to announce the release of the much-anticipated VërSpanken – A new kind of home entertainment system for men. VërSpanken is the first male toy that lets the user customize their experience every time they use it.  Variable pressure, textures, temperature and techniques with an easy clean up, makes VërSpanken a revolutionary product within the adult male toy market.

VërSpanken is all about You. It’s about the pressure you like, it’s about the temperature that feels right, and it’s about the texture that keeps you coming back for more. With the open-ended housing and snap closure, the user controls the pressure. Unlike other toys the user can change the texture and even the temperature experience.

There are six different insert options available; FoamWieners (included in the VërSpanken box) and WaterWieners (sold separately), both available in Smooth, Bumpy and Wavy textures. With this variety the combinations are endless. The WaterWieners can be used at varying temperatures by either warming them in the microwave or chilling them in the refrigerator. Since there are two separate inserts in the VërSpanken, the user can combine temperatures textures and/or densities (foam or water).

The design of VërSpanken also allows for a myriad of stroking techniques to change up the experience- try the upward curl, rocking and swiveling or maybe the twist! And since VërSpanken is an open-ended toy, clean-up is a breeze.  It’s also great for couple play! Made of 100% recyclable materials, VërSpanken, like all Big Teaze Toys, contains no latex, phthalates, lead or heavy metals. Patent(s) Pending.

Big Teaze Toys is a Los Angeles-based product design and manufacturing firm focused on creating fun and innovative products for adults. Created in 1997 by Tony Levine, their best-known product is I Rub My Duckie, a line of waterproof, personal massagers that has received international attention from retailers, consumers and the media. Big Teaze Toys constantly strives to surprise and delight customers with unique, high-quality products and services that have a fun look and feel and leave the consumer with a smile and positive feelings about their sensuality.

Jopen LLC, the makers of the world’s most luxurious pleasure products, was a huge hit at the Scala Xmas Fair.  Held in Scala’s Showroom in Holland on November 22^nd, 2012, the inaugural event provided special incentives to European retailers for the holiday season.

“Scala is one of our valued European Distribution Partners and we were thrilled to be involved with the Xmas Fair,” says Susan Colvin, President and CEO of Jopen.  “Giving stores a chance to stock up before the holidays is a great way to ring in the season!”

The fair included a Cash & Carry feature which was filled with numerous luxury items.

Angela Mustone, International Business Development Executive for Jopen, says, “The response to Key was incredible.  Everyone said it was beautiful and fresh.  There were many scans of the products—which allowed customers to make purchases—and they were all so excited to carry the beautiful collection in their stores!”

Rick Zwaan from Scala adds, “The highlight of the fair was the new Key by Jopen pleasure products, which was presented in a beautiful booth by our good friend Angela.  It was great to get the support of Angela to introduce this collection to our customers.”

Retail customers from all over Europe attended the fair.  It was the first time Scala held such an event apart from their regular bi-annual fairs which take place in March and September.

Rick Zwaan from Scala says, “The visitors were very pleased with the extra day and they are looking forward to next year’s Xmas Fair.”
