First Place

Duette Secret Vibrator Ring
by Nathan Umstead & Kelly Myers of Raleigh, NC
The Duette is a ring to openly express your sexuality. Duette looks beautiful and houses a vibrator mechanism for portable and discreet pleasures.

Second Place

Via Wave Multi-stim Vibe
by Jeanette Numbers of Providence, RI
The Via Wave Multi-stim Vibe is inspired by the popular rabbit-style vibrators. The key difference is the sliding “wave” mechanism in the center. This replaces the common spinning pearls found in rabbit vibes. The vibe also includes an adjustable, vibrating clitoral stimulator.

Third Place

Made to Measure Pleasure
by Matthew Hall of Windsor, UK
Not a specific sex toy per se, we thought this idea was so innovative we just had to include it in our finalists list. This totally customizable online ordering system allows one to create their own unique sex toy. Choose the size, shape, and material that suits you best!

People's Choice Award

The Octopussey
by Julie Ember of Brooklyn, NY
The Octopussey is an eight-armed silicone sex toy that can become whatever you want it to be. It can bend, connect to itself in almost any way, fold up, and vibrate in numerous combinations. This is a toy meant for people who wish they or their partner had more hands and who love the element of surprise. This toy won the "People's Choice Award" by receiving the most votes online at Babeland.com!
