CarnalNation

We can't say enough about how generous our sponsors for the AIDS/LifeCycle have been! Tim McElreavy, Managing Editor of CarnalNation, and inspiration behind our support of the ride this year, is seen here wearing the shirts we had made for his ride with our sponsor's logos.

Like most people, we're huge fans of njoy, makers of the stainless steel Pure Wand and Fun Wand (as well as the legendary Eleven).

Sex educator Jamye Waxman has wonderful things to say about the squirtastic powers of njoy toys.

You can see her extoll their virtues on YouTube!

And boy, do we love Sliquid. Sure, they make vegan, glycerine- and paraben-free lubes that have a wonderful feel and will never give you yeast infections- however, the thing that really rocks our socks is this: their organic lube tastes like rainwater, or your own saliva, but better. Somehow, they make lube that absolutely does not taste like lube. It's got organic botanical extracts, and it's a little minty, like kissing someone who's just brushed their teeth. It's an amazingly sex-friendly product, great for when you're mixing playing with toys and oral pleasures, or massage and a tongue-bath...

And of course we heart our friends at Jimmyjane so hard! Powerful, quiet, cordless charging, gorgeous ergonomic design, body-safe materials, 3-year limited warranty- these are just a few of the top-drawer features of our beloved Jimmyjane vibes. Check out our rave reviews of the Form 6! 

We got wonderful donations from the master toy designers at LELO. LELO's luxe "Pleasure Products" are both beautiful and powerful, with a wide range of designs for both male and female bodies. As if making high quality and long lasting toys weren't enough, now they are tempting us with sensual silk restraint accessories! 

Goodies from Good Vibrations made all the baskets extra special and safe. Good Vibrations graciously donated condoms, samples of their own line of lube and wipes, as well as some fun on-the-go bullet vibes and string anal beads. Our collaboration with Good Vibes on the ToolBox keeps us up to date on all the newest toys.

Our Editor-in-Chief Theresa is a huge fan of OhMiBod toys, especially the Freestyle. OhMiBod specializes in making vibrators driven by the beat of music. From iPods and MP3 players to club's loudspeakers, and other ambient sounds you can buzz off to -such as your lover's voice on the phone or the President on tv - these toys define the meaning of "rocking!"

Over in the UK, Rocks-Off is an innovator in sex toy design and we love their fresh, friendly style. They were kind enough to send over lots of their clever toys such as cock rings, small travel vibes, and my personal favorite name for a toy ever - the Ass Berry! Rocks-Off toys are sold at Good Vibrations and are a fantastic choice for an inexpensive and playful toy to use discretely in public, as well as in the privacy of your bedroom, or wherever you like to get your Rocks Off! 

Tantus is based here in California, and their toys are made in the USA. Made of premium silicone, all Tantus Toys are hypoallergenic, hygienic, phthalate free, odorless, tasteless, boilable, bleachable and even dishwasher safe- plus they're seriously well-designed. We were thrilled to fill up our baskets with their sexy toys as they are ideal for play with both male and female bodies. Check out the ToolBox reviewer's feedback on Tantus toys to see what I'm talking about! 

Last but not at all least, one of our most generous donors was VirtuallyAbout LLC, makers of the gorgeous Crystal Delights, a collaboration between renowned glass toy makers RubyGlass21 and toystore VirtuallyAdult that is pleasing folks to no end! The beautifully wrapped, handmade Crystal Delights Anal Plugs with their real Swarovski crystals are the fanciest butt toys we've ever seen! Thanks, you guys!

We are so grateful to all our sponsors and are already looking forward to planning exciting new ways to raise funds for the AIDS/LifeCycle next year. It's a rare privilege to be able to combine fundraising for a crucial cause with creative ways to bring people pleasure! Thank you sponsors for making this such a successful project!
