It's Been a Very, Very Grey Summer

The summer of 2012 is officially over, and looking back, all I can say is this: it's been a very grey summer.  But I mean that in a good way.

Ever since the Shades of Grey trilogy, what we sell has really changed. Melrose Urban Female has seen many seasons change, but product demand was always the same.  Come rain or shine, snow or sleet, our customers have bought vibrators and dildos. And typically it was women buying for themselves.

But since those books, I can just look at an order and know exactly what the inspiration is.  We have never sold so many beads and balls, whips and ropes! Bondage is typically a male fantasy, but now it seems to be everyone's fantasy.  Women are buying these products.   However, it does seem the men are still the real shoppers when it comes to this.  But for the first time, guys seem to have the nod of approval from their female partners, and they are like kids in a candy store.

It's hard to say what the fall will bring.  But we will keep our bondage department stocked. You never know... people might still be feeling "grey." 

The Muse -- Is it a clock radio or vibrator?

On occasion, I will come cross a product that really catches my eye.  Sure, when I go to trade shows, all the products look good.  The toy makers go out of their way with displays and lighting and their sales pitches are spot on perfect. Especially in trade magazines, everything just jumps out at you.  Photoshop and graphics can sell anything. It's quite overwhelming. 

The MUSE

Every few days, I trek over to your distributor's warehouse in the San Fernando Valley to pick up products and see what is new (we are a hands-on company).  Even though this place is loaded with sex toys, there is nothing sexy about about it. I don't mean to destroy any fantasies, but it's a nuts and bolts business.  Dildos and vibrators in crates and boxes,  and what is going out is heaped into shopping carts -- just like ones you would find at Target.  So, there I was just walking down a huge warehouse aisle of "stuff,"  when this odd little creature caught my attention.  It was almost as if he had spoken my name: "I am over here, Amy."  He had this round little body and ears sticking straight up. He was just sitting there with a bunch of other vibrators, but he demanded my attention but in a very subtle way.  Hence his name: MUSE.  He is the MUSE MASSAGER.  By the way, innocent looking you could put him on your nightstand and your roommates would think you had a really interesing clock radio.

Yeah, the descriptions reads something like:  "The Muse is a one-of-a kind clitoral stimulator that’s waterproof, made with premium silicone and has a cute design that is very female friendly."  That is all accurate and fine, but there's more to the MUSE.  I can't quite put my finger on it.  It is ephemeral. Like a muse.  As you can imagined, I  quickly started my research and develpment and added the MUSE to Melrose Urban Female.  

The MUSE is a product of NS Novelties.  Just recently they revealed their new  line-up which starred the MUSE.  I will give credit where credit is due.  All their products are really nice.  I am a stickler for nice, simple packaging.  I cannot stand blister packs and packaging with boobs. Enough of my rant... NS Novelties seems to have delivered a very nice line of products.  Excellent design, good packaging and very affordable. They are MUF-worthy.  

Thanks for taking the time to read about us and the MUSE.

The Butterfly Kiss Lives On

We've had the Butterfly Kiss in our store, Melrose Urban Female, for a few years now, and it continues to be a bestseller. And we are not at all surprised by its success.  The Buttefly Kiss is the perfect vibrator in many ways.  It's priced right.  It's sized right.  And it works right.





Butterfly Kiss Platinum

You've all heard it: "You get what you pay for."  As the owner of Melrose Urban Female, I don't upsell our customers, but when I really feel they would be better served by a more expensive product, I will put that option out there.  I never want a dissatisfied customer, and I truly do what them to make the right purchase.  But I am also aware of budget limitations and know its important to stay within them.  That said, whenever customers ask about the Butterfly Kiss, I always say: "Good choice. You can't go wrong with that one."  For about $20, they are getting a great vibrator. Not to take anything way from those expensive ones,  because they can be quite amazing and worth every cent. Quality products can last a lifetime.  Cheaper ones will show their age much sooner,  and as we all know... you do get what you pay for. 
However, I am a cheerleader for this inexpensive, little sex toy. The Butterfly Kiss has a great design.  It's perfectly shaped for the female body.  It has wings to stimulate the clitoris and a bulbed shaft for internal and g-spot stimulation.  Unlike many vibrators which are stiff, the Butterfly Kiss is flexible, and you can maneuver it to work with your body.  It's sized perfectly for beginners or women who just want a small, extremely quiet vibrator to easily stash in their night stand.  The only caveat would be for women who really want more fullness in a vibrator.  The Butterfly Kiss is not a large, thick vibrator. 



Butterfly Kiss

Unlike many vibrators, the Butterfly Kiss has an amazingly simple design.  It's super easy to put the batteries into it and has an easy push-button control.  No dials, no knobs, no up and down arrows.  I will make this declaration:  anyone can work the Butterfly Kiss.  I come across many vibrators and still have to take out manuals or go to you YouTube to figure them out.  No. #1 reason why vibrators come back to us:  incorrect battery insertion.  This has never been a problem with the Butterfly. 

Don't get me wrong, there are many other vibrators I really love.  But for the price, the Butterfly Kiss is a smart choice.  Thanks for taking the time to read about it.  Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

LELO Tiani wins the Coveted Red Dot Award this Year!

STOCKHOLM/SAN JOSE — Swedish designer brand LELO has won the international Red Dot Design Award 2012 for the LELO Tiani, the first remote-controlled couples’ massager to respond to motion-sensor technology, where vibrations are created through movements of the remote.

The award was announced on March 14.

Red Dot-winning products are marked by exceptionality, for their high degree of innovation, functionality, ergonomics, self-explanatory quality, and ecological compatibility, the company said.

This year, a jury of the world’s leading design experts received more than 4,500 product submissions. As a Red Dot winner, the LELO Tiani now stands alongside the likes of past winners such as the Apple iPhone 4, BMW 5er Touring and Bose SoundDock.

“LELO is pleased and proud to be recognized globally as a leader in design with our revolutionary Couples Massager Tiani,” said Donna Faro, LELO North and South America director sales and marketing. “Receiving the prestigious Red Dot Award and to stand amongst the leading brands in the world is truly an honor. At LELO we believe that superior quality and highest design are the standards our customers deserve and we will continue to design products that are of excellence and desire.”

The Red Dot Awards are carried out in three disciplines: Product Design, Communication Design and Design Concept. In 2011 alone, more than 14,000 entries from more than 70 countries were registered in all three categories.

Shhhh... Discreet Vibrators

Somethings are better left private.  Or at least not obivous.  If you travel a lot, live with roommates, kids... or maybe even parents... and you are in need of sexual pick-me-up but do not want to let everyone know that, perhaps a super discreet vibator has your name written on it.  Some discreet sex toys are so cleverly designed, you would never suspect that lipstick works on a different pair of lips. In additon to hiding a secret vibrating motor, these products are typically very small and very quiet.  These hidden secrets are perfect for  purses, suitcases, nightstands. Some can even be completely out in the open and no one would have clue.

We encourage you to check out all of our favorite secret massagers, but here are five that we consider super disceet:

I Rub My Duckie Travel Size

Don't let the small size fool you. I Rub My Duckie, the travel size is a powerful yet quiet personal massager that is big enough to put a smile on your face.

Incognito Lipstick

Looking exactly like lipstick in its case, the Icongnito Lipstick is the ultimate girly girly accessory and the perfect travel companion.



Massaging Hairbrush

It's a vibrating, massaging hairbrush for your head - really! But, who could blame you if you took advantage of the powerful stimulation of the soothing massager to comb out what you've got down there?



Vibrating Mascara

So much power at just the blink of an eye... vibrating mascara!

Vibrating Panda

This cute little guy packs the vibration for body aches or full body pleasure. Use him on you neck your back your ...anywhere. Very discrete very cute and very powerful.
