LOS ANGELES — Time Magazine has released its annual list of the 100 Best Inventions that are making the world "better, smarter and even a bit more fun," naming Lora DiCarlo's Osé as one of this year's Best Inventions.
To assemble the 2019 Time Best Inventions list, Time solicited nominations across a variety of categories from editors and correspondents around the world, and through an online application process. Each contender was then evaluated on key factors, including originality, effectiveness, ambition and influence. "The result: 100 groundbreaking inventions that are changing the way we live, work, play and think about what's possible," a rep said. Osé was selected in the Wellness category for 2019 for its focus on "closing the pleasure gap for people with vaginas."
Osé represents the first of its kind, featuring a patent-pending design, engineering and production focused on giving the user a blended orgasm, utilizing micro-robotic technology to mimic the sensations of a human mouth, tongue and fingers, for an experience that "feels like a real partner, with none of the vibration that other adult products rely on," notes the rep. Customizable controls allow the user to determine the amount of stimulation for both pleasure points, based on sensitivity and desired intensity.
"We are honored to be recognized by such an elite list and organization," said Lora Haddock, founder and CEO of Lora DiCarlo. "We want to thank Time for their consideration and for selecting Osé."
