Dr. Berman Astrea Vibrating Briefs Featured in ‘The Ugly Truth’

CHINO, Calif. — CalExotics and celebrity sex therapist Dr. Laura Berman have announced that the Dr. Berman Astrea I Vibrating Briefs appear in the mainstream film “The Ugly Truth.”

The scene features actress Katherine Heigl wearing the briefs during a night out, only to have the wireless remote control fall into unsuspecting hands.

“This scene is one of the funniest film moments since the orgasm scene from ‘When Harry Met Sally,’” CalExotics President Susan Colvin said. “But the expression of pleasure on Katherine Heigl’s face is definitely true-to-life.”

Astrea I Remote Vibrating Briefs are part of the Dr. Laura Berman Intimate Basics line, from California Exotic Novelties. Available in stretch lace brief and thong designs, the removable vibrating mechanism delivers hands-free stimulation. The compact, full-featured remote control commands pleasure from up to 12 feet away.

“Retailers should not be caught without Astrea I Briefs in stock,” said Al Bloom, CalExotics director of marketing. “This product is featured prominently in the film and ‘The Ugly Truth’ is already inspiring curious couples nationwide.”

“The Ugly Truth” opened nationwide July 24.
