Adult Video News' Adult Entertainment Expo was back at the Hard Rock Hotel this weekend, with porn stars and sex-toy companies invading the hotel's convention center and Joint concert venue. The annual extravaganza showcases the latest and greatest products for sexytime fun, so we scoured the trade-show floor for this year's newbies.
My Shiney Hiney The name says it all. Intended to offer a “comfortable cleanse,” this product is ergonomically designed to allow easy accessibility to “even the most hard to reach personal places” and is available in two bristle options (soft or medium). The company also produces lines of both cleansing and whitening creams for, well, you can take a guess. Remember the wedding-shower scene from Bridesmaids? With My Shiney Hiney, you can love your new asshole, too. myshineyhiney.com
Sexy Beads No, not those beads … though the expo floor was chock-full of what you’re thinking about. Sexy Romance’s lube pearls are designed to insert in various cavities, providing additional lubrication during intimate sessions. Made of jelly, coconut oil and various aromas, the beads come in six different flavors: grape, red berries, mint, strawberry and strawberry/chocolate. Bonus: That coconut oil will also moisturize your skin. Win-win. sexy-romance.com
Slik Willie/F**k Juice Slik Willie first hit the market with its F**k Juice lubricant, which was marketed toward the gay community. One of the few gay-owned businesses on the AEE floor this year, the company rebranded its hybrid silicone/water-based lube as Slik Willie to market to heterosexual customers. The stuff is non-staining (so no need to worry about soiling your sheets or clothes), condom-compatible and effortlessly viscous. slikwillie.com
Gnarly Rider You’ll never look at a pool noodle the same again. Asserting that floating “provides a unique medium to facilitate peak sexual experiences,” the Gnarly Rider is a silicone vibrator/bullet saddle designed to affix to noodle-type pool flotation devices. The company claims that floating increases endorphin production and reduces stress levels, thereby making an orgasm “more likely to be achieved.” Remember to hashtag #FloatingOrgasm. gnarlyride.com
Oral Wet Adult-film producer Scott David (known for porn parodies like Not the Bradys XXX) branched out from the adult industry’s video segment to novelties with this stick-on disc that helps to moisten the mouth. One simply puts the product on the inside of the upper lip, and it dissolves to help facilitate oral sex. David says Oral Wet lasts up to 30 minutes, and the discs come in multiple flavors and are only three calories each—who doesn’t want a taste of a three-calorie cinnamon bun? oralwet.com
