CHATSWORTH, Calif. During AVN’s Adult Entertainment Expo, panelists advised aspiring sex toy inventors about the pros and cons of bringing a new product to the market. The panel, called “I invented the best adult product! Now what should I do?” featured sex toy development industry pros with combined decades of experience in the field.
The panel was moderated by Kim Airs, who owned a brick-and-mortar shop and now owns an online store, and herself invented products unique to her customers. Panelists included Scott Watkins, VP of Sales & Marketing for Doc Johnson; Rob Phaneuf, Vice President of Product Development at Pipedream Products; Ted Leger and Larry Lentz, owners of lube maker HelmetGrease.com; and Maureen Pollack, inventor of the WaterSlyde (“the aquatic stimulator”), a bestselling sex toy for women designed to make bathtime much more fun.
