The Levels of Lube
The best-of-the-best lube in each segment
Water-based, silicone-based, organic, flavored, anal …
with so many different types, brands and uses for personal lubrication available, it’s not easy for customers, store owners and their staff to stay on top of this thriving product segment. Our SE Special Focus will help cut through the seemingly unending list of lube products and varieties to identify the best in each segment.

Redefining “Extreme”
What today’s BDSM section looks like
Restraints/Cuffs • Leather Bondage • E-Stim • S&M
Not all that long ago, bondage and S&M products were relegated to the back of adult retail stores, tucked in a corner and kept away from more “mainstream” adult toys. Today, the BDSM segment is more mainstream—yet also more “extreme”—than ever before. Exactly how extreme is extreme BDSM in 2019? That’s the question that SE’s Special Focus, Redefining “Extreme,” aims to answer.
June Issue: Deadline: May 1
Wand-er Lust
The industry’s top wands
It’s all about wands!
Ask almost any women who’s used one, and there’s something very “magical” about the wand. Which is precisely why several toy manufacturers now have their own version of this time-tested turn-on toy. Our SE Special Focus, Wand-er Lust, will showcase the newest wand toys on the market, while SE readers will reveal their top sellers.
