A playground for everyone
In a world full of explicit sex toys, innovation, and technological advancements—
diversity raises its hand.
Regardless of our sexual preferences, questions always pop up at the moment we are buying a sex toy. Questions like: “What do I like?”, or “How can I improve my sexual education?”, or “How can a sex toy help me get to know my body better?”.
As time goes on, people are starting to wake up and be more open (and public) about pleasure and the exploration of their own bodies. With that in mind, more designers, sexologists, and experts are developing innovative tools to give us options that defy the status quo and conquer the current product selection in today’s market.
So, let’s play...

Not only is this piece of jewelry designed to upgrade your outfit, but it’s also designed to elevate your erotic rituals. The vibrating ring is made out of surgical stainless steel which is safe for your body and the faceted shape is designed to reach intimate areas. You can even choose between the silver design or the electroplated 18k gold (because we should have options, right?).
It includes a vibration motor that changes intensity and pattern based on your desire. Easily change settings by tilting your hand or tapping the ring. The design also allows you to rotate it vertically or horizontally. “Palma” is waterproof and is charged with a magnetic USB dock.
The increasing demand of sex toys focused on pleasure for women, trans, and non-binary individuals that also want to look good is met by this product. The innovative design fills a gap in the market where fashion-meets-function.
“Wearable erotic fashionable technology” is the name of the game here.
"This industry, historically, has been one in which people felt embarrassed
or ashamed by these products where it felt dirty or wrong. Now women are reclaiming that space and that part of their lives.”

(1) It begins with a 3D model of the outer part of the vagina and clitoris, to make sure the user knows exactly what they are talking about. (2) Then, they will try different materials (all of them are “body-friendly”) such as glass, wool, tin, wood, and silicone, not just for the genital area, but also to help women find other erogenous zones; this will also incite curiosity about temperatures and surfaces throughout their body. (3) Later on, textures such as spiral, smooth, cone, sphere, and revolve, will stimulate the body with the different haptic qualities of each pattern. (4) Then they test three different vibration patterns, each one focused on a different genital area. (5) To involve them in the process they will receive a non-toxic, biodegradable, and reusable clay to shape a form inspired by this ritual, they can build anything, and it will help to create the final design. (6) Music and aroma are essential components during any sexual experience, so they will ask the users what they are more drawn to. Every step will help Coby design the most personalized sex tool ever. As she says, “the human sexual response is a dynamic combination of cognitive, emotional, and physiological processes” and every person is a universe full of unique desires and needs.

Derived from the acronym NB, which stands for “non-binary". Enby is a gender-neutral vibrator designed with an abstract shape that suits a variety of bodies. It has a shape similar to a bike seat, so its versatility can be used for humping, tucking —to put it inside the underwear—, or stroking —for giving a massage—. Wildflower wants to offer products that disrupt the industry by turning it into a more free, aware, and educated platform for everyone.
“[…] Wild Flower, an online adult store where products are sorted
by body part or type of play, not gender.”

Pleasure has no age, but there are statistics proving that the sex industry tends to neglect the +49 age range. Dmytro Nikiforchuk is a design graduate that noticed this and created a kit specifically for the mature consumer. Every piece is very meticulously thought out, from the materials —stainless steel, horsehair, silicone, and wood— to the shapes, which are very neutral. The most important part of the project lies in the essence of his designs, which consist of various objects that reinforce and activate the senses during foreplay.
The result of the experience is to reconnect with your partner, verbally and spiritually.
Sound. there is a headset that is used to listen to your partner’s heartbeat.
Smell. a sponge with tubes soaked in essential oils.
Touch. a thimble with an extension. change the tip into four different heads, and materials: angular (wood), cone-like (horsehair), organic (silicone), and rounded (steel).
Sight. A double ring-like object is attached to a multiple-sided lens: a mirror, a colored filter, and a kaleidoscope-ish glass- designed to get to know your partner’s body in a different way.
”It is designed to become an excuse
to meet your partner from a new perspective.”

Two words: double pleasure.
The design features a textured head and a pair of rings, allows both users to enjoy it simultaneously. Whether you and your partner are a homosexual or heterosexual couple, this will do the job.
The head can massage the clitoris or the butthole, while the rings (which also vibrate) hug and stimulate the testicles and penis, promoting stronger erections and therefore-- more pleasure for everyone involved. “Tammy” has 5 vibration patterns, each with 5 different intensities, for a total of 25 levels to take you on a rollercoaster of sensations. This piece isn’t only body-friendly, it’s also eco-friendly!

Introducing the most talked about sex toy of last year, the one and only- clitoris sucking vibrator!
Recently a number of brands began promoting their own models but one of them, “Melt”, has some very lovable features. First of all, it comes in a beautiful peachy color and has a very ergonomic shape. You can either use it solo and/or during penetration (which not all sucking vibrators can). It can also be controlled by an app, so it's very modern and techy.
The “Melt” vibrator creates a vacuum-suction effect on the visible part of the clitoris, increasing blood flow and stimulating it 70% more than a regular vibrator.
