Lora DiCarlo, the “sex technology” startup that promised revolutionize the pleasure industry and pompously acted as the first to do so, has closed after only 3 years. Their site is offline, orders have not been fulfilled for months, and there are rumors of bankruptcy.
For a company named after a woman, Lora DiCarlo sure had the attitude of a man: enter the room (the industry) promising to “disrupt” it with the brilliance of his “sexual technology.” In 2019, after Lora DiCarlo won a robotics innovation award at the Consumer Electronics Show that was later rescinded, the mainstream media The coverage was so wide and great that their star sex toy was put on Time‘s list of the best inventions before ACTUALLY BEING RELEASED.
This bravado helped Lora DiCarlo raise a total of 9.2 million dollars in financing, and they wasted it.
His supposedly transcendental creation was the Bold (the accent adds to the plot, good?). This disastrous device, the size and color of a baseball, was intended to provide “mixed orgasms” using “microrobotic technology” that “mimics human contact.” In English, that means there is a air flow clitoral stimulator, then a shaft with a small mechanical ball that moves back and forth under the silicone. Adjustable midsection makes it suitable for all vulvasthe company boasted.
when they smell me BoldThey pressured me to schedule a “Fit Session,” an “individual training session to maximize (my) experience with (their) products.” If that is not a red flag…
You can see, in the photo above, the outrageous way in which I had to contort the Osé to level it. NEAR my clit. In fact, I hit my cervix before I could get the gooseneck bastard to my clit. While I use the Osé: “oh, oh, Wow…” Somehow it managed to hurt me in several places. I once made the mistake of removing it from my vagina without turning off the rolling ball, and sharply scraped against my pubic bone.
The experience of masturbating with him, besides being literally painful, felt… embarrassing. I’m sure it looked like a person manipulating a medical device, grimacing and moaning, without any pleasure. First note I ever made about him Bold: uh…do I hate him?
This? This Is Piece of Shit the Tipping Point in Sex Tech? Yeah, No.
They charged $290 for this misfortune.
This? Is this piece of shit the tipping point in sex tech?
the owner of early to bed He called the Osé “the most painful thing I ever wore.” my body.” And she runs the Museum of wacky sex toyswhere he tests the strangest of the strange.
Among my colleagues there were always rumors about Lora DiCarlo. While we have drinks, in private conversations. The name would appear and he would roll his eyes. Sighs were uttered, followed by long conversations about how bad the toys and brand were. But that wasn’t the worst: it was a hellish, racist workplace. Ask Javay from BAEwho gave them a review on Glassdoor calling them “a joke from a company run by selfish, money-hungry people.”
I’m sure more sordid details will come to light as time goes on. We know that consumers have been defrauded. There are rumors about a lawsuit. An anonymous informant commented “This is simply the tip of the iceberg,” saying, “Lora misled EVERYONE in the most unprofessional way possible: employees, consultants, suppliers, retailers, the factory, and probably other investors.”
And while I spill the tea, since this will be my last chance to share this story, I visited Lora DiCarlo’s booth at the sex toy trade show. ANME in 2019. They were the ONLY booth, perhaps in the history of history, that had zero toys on display. Everything was mysterious, and even when I had a conversation with Lora herself, she didn’t reveal anything. This company acted like their shit was developed in a underground bunker.
As Lux Alptraum said we have exposed scorching podcast“(Lora DiCarlo’s) greatest invention was the advertising machine.”
All of Lora DiCarlo’s toys were disgusting, available in colors like baby poop green, lifeless pink, and weird gray, like a technological relic from 1995. The controls were horrible, and the packaging was incredibly wasteful. Several of them demanded that I part my lips to allow them entry.
The independent airflow toy, BaciIt pissed me off with its inaccessible cargo box, collect dirt Cracks and flat design: the worst shape for a suction toy that is literally meant to target the clitoris. Lips exist, why do I have to keep telling you this? Tea carezzaequipped with totally real”PercussionTouch™ Technology“, it was like the Eroscillator but worse. I wrote in my notes, looks like shit and sounds like a dental drill. Of filareI wrote hey I am covered in lubricant and why are the buttons where they are???
These toys are so easy to ridicule. When I feel an image of Bold to my momresponded perfectly, “he’s a creepy anemic Little shop of horrors-Looking device.” When I shared it on social media, my followers applauded with amazing descriptions, saying that it looks like “the distorted fetus of a beluga whale,” “that thing you put in the back of the toilet when it keeps running,” and “if sperm were shot with a beam that size from Baby I blew up the kid.“
You are all firecrackers. I love you.
Many also astutely pointed out that Lora DiCarlo is “the terans of the sex toy industry.” I love that for them!
Other defunct sex toy companies have been it’s worth mourningand to this day I still do (my G-spot will never forget you, Beyond 3). This one, however, deserves a celebration. So here’s to a company that insulted the entire industry, treated employees like shit, and is now taking customers’ money. I knew I didn’t like you, Lora DiCarlo. Peace.
Did you have any experience with Lora DiCarlo? Or did you just watch this dumpster catch on fire from afar?
