Papaya Toys Reversible Battery Pack Wins ‘Outstanding Innovation’ Award

LOS ANGELES — Papaya Toys’ reversible battery pack was named Outstanding Innovation at the third annual “O” Awards.

In January, Papaya Toys launched with the tag line “It’s Good To Be Different.” According to the company, since its debut, the Papaya line has received a phenomenal response for its high-quality manufacturing, fair cost and principles of social responsibility and planet friendly practices.

"I want to thank AVN, and the voting committee for this amazing award,” said Holger Theisen, of Papaya Toys HK. “The ‘O’ Award for Outstanding Innovation is a reminder for all us at Papaya Toys that we are moving in the right direction. It is also motivation to constantly pursue new ideas and to reduce design to the maximum of form and function.”

Pamela McKee, aka Papaya Pam, of Papaya Toys US adds, “I love this industry and am proud to be part of a brand that stands for superior quality, innovation and fairness. A new era in pleasure products is emerging and this award symbolizes that PAPAYA Toys is leading the way!”

Papaya Toys are German engineered and manufactured in Asia. Each of the products, including the Rainbow, the Tattoo, the Candy Stick and the Turtle, is crafted from 100 percent medical-grade silicone from U.S. suppliers and completely waterproof.

Slated to hit the states July 20, Papaya Toys said it has pre-sold almost two-thirds of its first U.S. production run.
