Hot Octopuss’ 2015 XBIZ nominations include “International Pleasure Products Company of the Year,” “Boutique Pleasure Products Company of the Year,” “Male Sex Toy of the Year” for its PULSE II, and “Luxury Toy / Line of the Year,” for PULSE II.

“We’re so proud to be a British company offering genuinely new and innovative design-led products which deliver incredible experiences,” says Hot Octopuss CEO Adam Lewis, co-creator of PULSE.

“PULSE II is the direct result of reviews, suggestions, and responses from our industry peers and critics, as well as users of PULSE, and we’re very pleased with the result.”

“PULSE and PULSE II really are amazing pieces of engineering,” Lewis adds. “We’re delighted that XBIZ and the U.S. public, both consumers as well as critics and reviewers, have recognized the technological advances which have gone into the creation of our products, and how it can be utilized for both men and couples ... and we’re absolutely honored with these nominations.”
