We've got some news, and it's the good kind.
E-Stim Systems has been nominated in two categories at the 2026 StorErotica Awards. The Slider is shortlisted for New Product of the Year, and we're on the ballot for Foreign Manufacturer of the Year. Both nominations come from the people who actually sell and stock pleasure products for a living, which is exactly the kind of nod that means something to us.
If you've not come across them, the StorErotica Awards have run for nineteen years now. They celebrate the products, the people and the companies shaping pleasure retail, and the ceremony takes place on 14 July in Burbank, California, during the ANME show. We'll be there. We have made the trip to ANME three years running, so it's familiar ground.
The Slider nomination is the one that makes us grin. It's the world's first bipolar insertable electrode with an adjustable, lockable, fully disassemblable sliding neck. One design, created in our Watford workshops, that you can set to the length that suits you, lock in place, then strip right down to clean. We designed it because we wanted it ourselves. Turns out we weren't the only ones.
Made in the UK, and Proud of it
The Foreign Manufacturer nomination is a quieter sort of proud. "Foreign" because the awards are American and we're not. We've been designing and machining electrostimulation kit in Britain for twenty-two years, in our own workshops, with our own hands. Being recognised for that, on the other side of the Atlantic, by a room full of retailers? That'll do nicely.
We won't pretend we're not chuffed. A nomination isn't a win, and the field in both categories is strong and stuffed with the mahjor players in the industry, but being shortlisted not once but twice, voted on by the trade, is a good place to be standing.
More once the results are in. Until then, back to the lathe.
