As a paid LELO employee (COI disclosed on my user page), I am requesting the addition of two new, separate sections detailing the company's proprietary technology and internationally recognized design awards. These additions are factual, supported by third-party sources, and intended to satisfy the requirement for verifiable information, thereby addressing the existing 'promotional content' tag.

Technological Innovations

LELO has been recognized by independent sources for introducing several key proprietary innovations to the pleasure product industry, particularly in the areas of design and internal technology.

HEX™ Condom Technology

The company launched the HEX™ condom line in 2016, which utilizes a unique internal hexagonal (honeycomb) structure. This design, inspired by the structure of graphene, incorporates 350 interconnected hexagons aimed at providing greater strength and flexibility while maintaining an ultra-thin latex barrier. The innovation was widely reported by media outlets upon its release, with the design noted for addressing common user complaints regarding feel and slippage.^[1]

Specialized Motion Technologies: Bow-Motion™ and Infinite Loop™

LELO has focused on specialized motion patterns for internal stimulators. Bow-Motion™, found in products like the SORAYA Beads, and Infinite Loop™, used in the LELO Dot, are proprietary motions that mimic natural touch and movement patterns. These technologies are often cited in product reviews discussing the nuanced and varied stimulation they provide.^[2]

SenseMotion™ and SoundSense™

LELO’s early technological advancements included the SenseMotion™ line, which was noted as the first couples' toys to feature motion controller functions. Later, the company developed SoundSense™ technology, integrated into products like the SIRI massager. This feature enables the device to transform ambient sound (such as music or a user's voice) into varied vibration patterns.^[3][4]

Stamina Trainer (App Feature)

LELO has incorporated app-enabled training functions into its products aimed at men, such as the F1S stroker. This feature, known as the Stamina Trainer, is designed to provide guided endurance training. Independent reviews confirm that these high-tech devices are app-enabled and outfitted with AI-driven components to offer personalized feedback and partner-control capabilities.^[5]

Awards and Recognition

LELO has received several international design and industry awards for its products and brand positioning.

Design Excellence Awards

• **Cannes Lions Award (2014):** Awarded for the **ORA™** oral sex simulator, recognizing its outstanding design.^[6]
