ounder and CEO of CalExotics, Susan Colvin, has envisioned a World of Enhanced Pleasure ever since she first took to carefully designing accessible and affordable intimate products for all in 1994. Female-led in an industry which was dominated exclusively by men, Colvin and her CalExotics team have, over the years, pioneered the high ambition of revolutionizing the pleasure products business. 

Reliable products with powerful motors for people of all genders was just the beginning. CalExotics continues to push the industry standards today with a wide variety of high-quality offerings for all bodies, sexual preferences, sexual orientations and budgets. Every CalExotics product is designed, tested and manufactured to provide an exceptional experience for the individual, time after time, and is backed by an industry-leading warranty.

Now, CalExotics is celebrating 30 years of dedication to inclusivity in pleasure with a new line of toys that truly embodies the company’s mission and vision. Introducing CalExotics Connect, the future of pleasure from the industry mainstay. CalExotics Connect enhances the pleasure options for the over-stimulated modern world. Prioritize your pleasure and connection!

“Enter the pleasure dimension”

CalExotics Connect is an app-based toy line which comes after consistent success from the pleasure product company in remote-controlled toys, allowing users to play at a distance. Colvin shares that the remote-control category is actually one of their top sellers.

“In fact, CalExotics was an early adapter in the remote-control pleasure products space,” she informs.

The Connect line is, however, the first app-connected product line to come from CalExotics. The intelligent technology allows for pleasure which defies space, walls — oceans, even!

“CalExotics Connect takes things to the next level,” Colvin continues. “Users can play from across the room or the globe. Plus, you can connect with a partner or play with anyone worldwide. The pleasure possibilities are endless!”

Closing the distance, CalExotics Connect allows users to make a connection anywhere around the world, with a partner, a community or to be enjoyed solo. Powered by a user-friendly, easy to download free app, CalExotics Connect is user-friendly and accessible.

“Partners of all kinds can enjoy the app during a night out. They can use the draw feature to create a custom pleasure experience or try the shake feature while on the dance floor. When partners are not together, they can still make a connection through the app. They can video chat while playing with each other’s toys.”

“Download the app, create a profile, connect your toy and play,” says Colvin. “It is that simple!”

Pleasure products for all!

The CalExotics Connect collection makes the World of Enhanced Pleasure even more accessible than it ever was before.

“Our mission was simple when we began: to bring more joy and passion to the world,” says Colvin. “Now, 30 years later, we are doing that on a much grander scale with CalExotics Connect. This is an incredible milestone for us as it brings everything full circle.”

According to Colvin, the Connect line was designed for users who want more from their pleasure products. Unlike any other collection from CalExotics thus far, app-based play supports the intimacy and connectivity of anyone looking to enjoy pleasure. Users from across the globe can now connect with each other whenever and wherever they desire through their CalExotics Connect product. By offering a variety of stimulation options, the collection promises to cater to a diverse customer base of interests and preferences. 

“App-based play gives everyone the ability to enjoy pleasure, which is a core value at CalExotics,” says Colvin.

The CalExotics Connect line offers six different styles of toys:

Couples Ring: “Maximize lovemaking as both partners explore more sensation and heightened stimulation with this Couples Ring,” says Colvin. “The ring is stretchy and comfortable for the wearer while offering powerful vibration for both partners.”

Panty Teaser: “Add some excitement to date night or a little thrill while you are out and about with this Panty Teaser,” says Colvin. “Designed with a secure magnetic attachment, this teaser can be worn discreetly in your favorite pair of panties for an added buzz.”

Kegel Exerciser: “Work it out and have some fun while doing it!” says Colvin. “This Kegel Exerciser can be used to tighten and tone Kegel muscles, plus the added vibration makes this workout more pleasurable.”

Venus Butterfly: “Experience full coverage stimulation with this Venus Butterfly,” says Colvin. “The fluttering wings tease and tantalize while the shaft offers intense internal stimulation. The Butterfly also has dual motors, so you can customize your pleasure even more.”

Contoured “G”: “This contoured massager provides powerful stimulation any way you want to play,” says Colvin. “Explore internally with the long body, use the angled head for pinpointed external stimulation or try both techniques together to heighten the experience.

Dual Stimulator: “This Dual Stimulator flexes and moves with you while the powerful dual motors deliver full-body pleasure,” says Colvin. “The shaft and stimulator can be controlled independently, allowing you to set your preferred setting for the pleasure you crave.”

Diversify your pleasure

The app itself also provides a variety of ways to play with any toy, ensuring that user’s needs are met regardless of gender or identity.

“Partners of all kinds can enjoy the app during a night out,” Colvin suggests. “They can use the draw feature to create a custom pleasure experience or try the shake feature while on the dance floor. When partners are not together, they can still make a connection through the app. They can video chat while playing with each other’s toys.”

“Pleasure at your fingertips is now a reality, no matter where you are in the world. Consumers are excited and gravitating towards these types of products. Expanding on this will be a focal point for the industry as we look to the future.”

The app plays well with others or users can play solo and enjoy self-love while playing a game or enjoying their favorite music. CalExotics Connect features multiple ways to play beyond the simple push-button operation, including seven different Modes:

Classic Mode: Explore any way you desire across nine different functions. “Start with low, then move to tease and excite, or mix it up to your liking,” says Colvin. “Tap each function to change the setting. If you have a dual-motor toy, you can change each motor independently.”

Game Mode: Game on and let the fun begin! “Match the different fruits for a buzz of vibration,” says Colvin. “The bigger the fruit, the stronger the vibration.”

Video Mode: Watch a sexy video from your device while you play! “Unlike other toys, you don’t have to leave the app to play,” says Colvin, “Everything you need is in one place.”

Music Mode: “Import your favorite song and allow the vibration to buzz along to the sound of the music,” says Colvin.

Draw Something: Let what’s in your mind lead your body to pleasure. “Draw anything you desire, and the vibration levels will follow,” says Colvin.

Shake: “Shake, shake, shake your way to pleasure,” says Colvin. “Shake it slow or shake it fast to control the vibration.”

Interactive Mode: Connect with anyone anywhere in the world! “Connect with your partner or someone in the community to enjoy long-distance play,” says Colvin. “You can control the toy while you voice chat or take it to the next level with video chat.”

The future of the pleasure industry

The future of pleasure in a disconnected world lies in connecting people in a more profound way. CalExotics has made it its mission to usher in the World of Enhanced Pleasure, and CalExotics Connect is making this achievable through app-based pleasure. 

“Pleasure at your fingertips is now a reality, no matter where you are in the world,” says Colvin. “Consumers are excited and gravitating towards these types of products. Expanding on this will be a focal point for the industry as we look to the future.”

The CalExotics Connect line hit store shelves in March 2024, and Colvin shares that the collection has been a resounding success. 

“Retailers took notice at the January ANME and started placing orders immediately,” she says. “We are excited about the future of app-based pleasure with CalExotics Connect!”

Because they believe that this collection is a must-see for customers, CalExotics offers a wide range of materials for retailers to showcase the products and the app’s features and capabilities, as well as product displays and testers to get the products in people’s hands. 

“We also have a fun promotional video highlighting the app’s benefits,” shares Colvin. “The video can be used online or in a retail setting with a video screen provided by CalExotics.”

CalExotics also offers in-depth, step-by-step instructions and videos on how to use the products and the app for consumers. Retailers are encouraged to reach out to their CalExotics representative for more information.
