STRATHAM, N.H. — OhMiBod is celebrating its 15th anniversary this month with a "Love Language" contest, among other events.
“OhMiBod was first known as the creator of the original music-driven vibrator — also called ‘the iPod vibrator’ — for its ability to sync to MP3 players and allow users to ‘feel the music’ by experiencing the beat and rhythm of their favorite songs,” said a rep.
Founder Suki Dunham revealed that “creating the original OhMiBod was about more than finding a fresh take on adult pleasure products. We also wanted to create a socially acceptable vibrator that would help break the stigma around the human right of self pleasure. Nothing about our mission has changed."
Over the past 15 years, the rep added, “the female-owned and operated manufacturer has fought taboos around self pleasure head-on. In so doing, it became the energy behind the teledildonics revolution.
The OhMiBod Classic was followed by the Club Vibe and the Freestyle, blueMotion and Lovelife product lines, which garnered multiple honors and lead to collaborations with other sex tech innovators.
The company also created OhMiBod Remote, a mobile app that allows users to connect with one another and share intimate experiences from anywhere in the world.
OhMiBod, the rep added, "was the first pleasure products manufacturer at CES, making its debut in 2010."
“Frequently showcasing these products and functionality at the annual International CES, the world’s technology show, has allowed OhMiBod to bring sex tech into the mainstream,” said the rep.
Dunham added that the company’s inclusion at CES “has played a pivotal role in our becoming not only a global brand but also the engine driving the evolution of technology for sexual health and wellness. 15 years ago, we could not have foreseen the positive impact our products and philosophy would make on people around the world. It is a humbling reminder not only of how far we have come but also how hard we and others in the industry have worked to deliver sex-positive products that help people explore, discover, and grow their passions, while also improving their physical and mental health.”
In celebration of its 15th year, OhMiBod is launching a contest celebrating “Love Language,” inviting storytellers to “put pen to paper and share a short story or poem on love and intimacy — whether romantic or platonic, with a friend, lover, partner, or oneself.” Prizes include a $1,000 Writing Scholarship, OhMiBod products and online exposure.
