Modern sex toys come in all shapes and sizes, and sex toy manufacturers come out with innovative ideas and new iterations of existing toys multiple times a year. We see this all the time with vibrators: a design gets reworked, upgraded and expanded — and then the newest features go from “big news” to “basic features that consumers now expect” in the space of a year. The industry moves pretty fast!
This month, we’re going to talk about the evolution of a product genre that has seen exponential growth in recent years: the blowjob simulator. Considering that, for a very long time, the main options for penis pleasure were manual strokers or “pocket pussies,” occasionally with lips at the opening to allow for the fantasy — not the sensation — of receiving oral sex. The caliber of growth this toy category has seen in the last decade is nothing short of exceptional. Let’s take a look at blowjob simulators and how far they have come.
The caliber of growth this toy category has seen in the last decade is nothing short of exceptional.
What Is a Blowjob Simulator?
Short answer: It’s a device that uses mechanical movement to simulate the actions and sensations of oral sex on a penis.
Longer answer: Unlike strokers or pocket pussies, which offer a soft and squishy orifice but require the user to actively stroke, blowjob simulators are automatic and hands-free. These unique machines simulate fellatio by stimulating the penis using mechanics that replicate lifelike movement.
In other words, blowjob machines, sometimes referred to as “milkers,” offer a hands-free experience in which users simply insert their penis while the device does the rest.
Blowjob Simulators Go Modern
Along with many other sex toys, blowjob simulators have come a long way over the years in terms of quality and innovation. Today, most are made using high-quality materials, are built to last, and offer a range of features that help shoppers find exactly the kind of experience they want. Some offer multiple high-end features in one toy, like vibration, squeezing modes, heating and sucking. These days, shoppers can easily find blowjob simulators that are less “novelty toy” and more “luxury investment.”
We know that blowjob simulators can be luxurious sources of pleasure for which shoppers may be willing to make a considerable financial investment. So, what do we have to offer these serious pleasure-seekers who want the most advanced blowjob simulation experience? These days, there are many higher-tech options, which offers multiple speeds and patterns of suction, a rechargeable bullet vibe with a remote control, and a textured inner sleeve. For folks who want even more, there are deluxe machines which come with multiple hoses and cylinders, remote controls and even discreet carrying cases.
Helping Customers Find the Perfect Blowjob Simulator
Blowjob simulators are a robust category of pleasure products that is growing every day, yet they don’t always get the mainstream attention that other products do, so it’s possible your shoppers might not even know they are an option! With that in mind, stocking multiple blowjob simulator options at a range of price points and being ready, willing, and able to help your shoppers navigate the selection is key to making sure your customers leave happy and come back often.
For new shoppers, be prepared to explain how a blowjob simulator compares to a stroker or masturbator and to point out the benefits of automated and hands-free use. Once they understand what a blowjob simulator can do, they’ll likely be motivated to check out the different features and make their selection.
For more seasoned shoppers who are familiar with the category, it’s important to have products on hand that help them take their blowjob simulation play to the next level. Make sure to stock some milkers with all the bells and whistles to satisfy their curiosity.
Blowjob simulators are getting more advanced all the time. This exciting toy category is evolving just as quickly as the industry itself, and by staying on top of the latest products and features, you’ll be able to better serve your customers and keep them coming back for more.
