Dorr made its debut with a sophisticated selection of vibrators and an “advanced intimate toy care system” with a UV light for disinfection. Dorr is a manufacturer, design house, engineering team, sales team and marketing team under one roof. The company says its departments allow it to obtain direct feedback from the customers that gets passed along to the production line to implement into the design of new toys. “We listen to your needs and we fulfill them,” the company says on its website. “In addition, by consolidating corporate functions, we are able to deliver luxury products at affordable prices.”
