Hey Toon, I have a few questions. I see you’re offering a range of devices for men as well as women. Male strokers are offered in a wide range of shapes and colors. I won’t comment how I feel about the butt stroker or the choice of the porn stars for the FeelStrokers. How the design process of the inside is done? Is it representative of the women’s vaginas or rather free-styled?
Another question is about vibrators you offer and the designers behind them. Do you hire women for the making of female products? The range is quite limited, designs are generic and mostly in tacky colors (except for the light blue). They don’t seem to be suited to fulfil women’s needs. Since you also offer solutions for long-distance couples, why not focus on making the experience equally pleasurable for both men and women?

The outside is a 100% replica of the model, the inside is left up to research and our designers freedom of creativity. We do take into account that models are shaped differently inside, some are wider, some are tighter, but the actual molding after the entrance of the vulva is whatever our designers imagine it to be!
Regarding your other questions. Our Managing Director at Kiiroo is a woman and most of our marketing team (and other teams at Kiiroo) are women so theres no underrepresentation here!
In the past we've prioritized perfecting our penis/male masturbator Keon, and this year, we have put more emphasis on getting constructive feedback from our customers and community about the next generation of vibrators and products for vulvas. Early next year we will come our with 2 new vibrators that will be released in colors chosen by our customers, I believe this could be noted as "more feminine" colors as this is what our community has asked for... By the end of next year we will release a new couple toy/set which will be ground breaking and specially designed to please women/vulvas.
But, I do get your point and unfortunately development costs a lot of time and resources and unfortunately our resources are limited. We don't have big banks behind us, we even need to fund our entire stock ourselves. Banks don't even want to supply stock financing because of the industry we're in. This has always been our limitation.

Thanks for the extensive reply! Is the freedom of creativity of the designers based on research to provide close to real experience for the male users? Good to hear there’s women in Marketing team and in the leadership role, although my question was regarding design and development team. Do you hire female designers in this department? If not, how do you determine usability of the devices? I’m curious about your future developments, good luck!
