Hot Octopuss’s 'PULSE' Nominated for ETO Award

CARLISLE, England —  U.K.-based pleasure products company Hot Octopuss announced that its luxury “guybrator,” PULSE, has been nominated for Best New Male Product for the 10th Annual Erotic Trade Only (ETO) Awards to be held on June 22 at the NEC Pavilion in Birmingham, England.

“We’re incredibly honored to have been recognized our industry colleagues for the ETO Awards. It’s amazing to receive such recognition in our own home base here in the U.K.” PULSE co-creator Adam Lewis said.

He added, “We’re extremely proud of PULSE. We’re particularly proud to offer a genuinely new and innovative design-led product, which gives the man the most intense orgasms. Men are indeed seeking new and exciting ways to reach orgasm, and PULSE delivers on that promise.”

The company noted that the U.S. adult novelty market was first introduced to the sex toy at ILS last fall, and continues to receive high praise from industry colleagues and reviewers alike, resulting in more than 10,000 units sold around the world in the first six months since its launch. The “guybrator” also was honored with a 2014 XBIZ Award for Couples Sex Toy of the Year.
