Brittany Wilson of The Dungeon Store Interviewed on ToyChats

Baltimore, MD — Brittany Wilson, Sales and Marketing Director of The Dungeon Store was interviewed recently by Ralph Greco on ToyChats. They talked about the history of the store, the nature of selling at events, trends in the pleasure products business and the latest violet wand toy from The Dungeon Store, Badger Blades. “Badger Blades are our take on a big conductive talon,” Wilson explained. “They’re designed to look like big, badass blades protruding from your knuckles. So, you’d line the “blade” part between your fingers, wrapping your fingers around the base for control. They’re very eye-catching.” The Dungeon Store is a woman-owned, intergenerational family business, priding themselves on twenty five years of curating collections of fine BDSM and fetish toys with an eye towards community care and development. They carry a wide variety of products, with a special emphasis on violet wands and other electro-fetish items. Many of the products offered by The Dungeon Store are hand crafted by fetish professionals across the United States. “Every region is completely different and looks for different things,” noted Wilson when asked about selling at events across the U.S. “This is especially influenced if someone in an area is an expert on something. So, like, in New England and the Bay Area, you have a lot of rope experts. So, those regions are exposed to Shibari more often and have a higher-than-average interest in rope.” ToyChats Media Inc is an open, honest, and inclusive platform for sex toy reviews and conversation. ToyChats offers a safe, user-powered space where people can share real experiences and connect with a like-minded community. The Dungeon Store is currently offering a clearance sale on Tens Unit accessories, and shoppers can find their latest additions at https://TheDungeonStore.com.

Lovense Ferri Spotlighted on WIRED

Lovense Ferri has been featured by leading media outlet WIRED in a review by sexual health and wellness journalist Amanda Chatel. In her in-depth article, Chatel writes that “the Lovense Ferri is giving all the other panty vibes a run for their money.” Chatel highlights Ferri’s thoughtful design: “The Ferri has a shape designed to fit comfortably inside the labia, as opposed to outside or against it. The body of the Ferri is made of silicone ridges that come to a peak right where the clitoris is, and it’s there that the vibrations are concentrated to ensure maximum stimulation.” She also notes the strength of the magnet, adding: “There’s a mental comfort in not having to worry about the Ferri going anywhere it isn’t supposed to; it’s absolutely locked in place.” She further emphasizes Ferri’s app-enabled functionality: “Thanks to the Lovense app, the Ferri can be controlled across the bedroom, from the other side of a club, or even an ocean away. Once you master it, controlling the toy is fairly easy. The Lovense app offers recommended and popular patterns, and the Ferri can also be synced to music in case you ever wanted to see what the bass of your favorite song felt like as clitoral and vulval vibrations.” Read the full review here: https://www.wired.com/review/lovense-ferri-panty-vibrator/ Learn more about Lovense Ferri: https://www.lovense.com/magnetic-panty-vibrator For media inquiries, please contact: partners@mail.lovense.com

Co-founded by industry recruitment veteran, Eddie Kreider, Hype HR specialises in delivering the best candidates to clients operating in high-velocity spaces, where knowledge, experience and discretion are paramount to ensure scalability with speed and precision. ‘It’s no secret that recruitment in alternative entertainment has always come with its challenges,’ says Kreider, who brings fifteen years of experience in hiring and talent acquisition. ‘The industries we service are some of the fastest-growing today, but so often overlooked or downright ignored by old school agencies. We created Hype HR to change that by providing swift but reliable hiring solutions that respect the unique demands of each sector we work with, while still delivering the calibre of talent they need to thrive.’ Hype HR’s service offering is built on four key pillars: trust, tailored strategy, speed and seamless experience.
