Let me take you on a journey… It’s 2015 and baby sex toy reviewer Grace has just made her blog and is starting to get a good understanding of the adult industry. But then something happens that sends shock waves throughout the reviewer community. An innovative new type of sex toy is released that boasts “suction” technology, from a brand with possibly the worst name ever. Everyone wanted to hate the Womanizer W100, not only because of the name, but also due to its horrendous design and outrageous price tag, but those who tested it found that it was actually surprisingly good. Then came along another company with the similarly stupid name of Satisfyer who copied this new technology, but by offering it for less and using better designs, they quickly became more popular than the original. Subsequently, in 2016 Womanizer clapped back with the release of their Pro40, which used a more stylish and budget-friendly version of their tech, evening the playing field and winning over hearts once more. These days suction toys are everywhere, but this is the original feud that catapulted the tech into what it is today, and the battle between these two brands continues. Yet as Satisfyer keep cutting costs while still somehow producing good quality products, Womanizer’s more luxury-style toys have seemed to fall behind once more, especially with the discontinuation of their popular Pro40. So when Lovehoney announced their collaboration with Womanizer to bring the Pro40 back a few weeks ago, you can imagine the fanfare it was met with.
