Caz and Rachel got sent to the pool. That was probably a mistake.

We took E-Stim Systems back to the ANME show in Burbank this year, and the show itself went brilliantly. Getting there was the problem. Two crates, shipped a week early, got stuck in customs at LAX and never made it to the floor. So our entire stand turned up to Los Angeles in two black hand-luggage bags and an iPad. And it worked.

I'm joined by Ian from Joanne's E-Stim Emporium, stockist, reviewer, maker, designated driver of the world's largest Jeep, and the man the industry knows as Stuntcock. We talk through the customs saga in full, why a managing director apparently isn't a real job, how you run a trade show off what fits in a carry-on, and why manufacturing your own kit in-house is the thing buyers actually cared about once we got talking. There's also Ian's route from the army to reviewing sex toys, a masturbation coach, a vibrating machine driving itself across the ballroom, Caz and the lift buttons, and a photo Ian really should not have sent his mum.

It's the honest version of a trade show. The systems failed. The people didn't.

Most people who deal with E-Stim Systems never speak to me. They speak to Kay. She runs our sales, answers the phones, handles the emails and the live chat, and quietly built the wholesale side of this business from nothing. So for once I handed the microphone to the person who actually does the talking.

We recorded this in a hotel room in Barcelona, the night before a trade show, with a brew and no real plan. Remember Victor Kiam? The man who tried a Remington and was so taken with it he bought the company. "So impressed, I bought the company," as he put it. Kay's version went a bit differently. She turned up in 2006 as a customer, bought a Series 1, came back for a remote, made a glib comment about why nobody stocked us in shops, and then talked her way into getting us into shops. She didn't quite buy the company. She just helped build the wholesale side of it from nothing, and put up with me and my little black book for the best part of twenty years.

We get into the bits nobody tells you about this trade. The Dragon's Den moment where a store manager told us we'd never survive. They're gone. We're worldwide. Why you can't just double your money on adult products. What actually makes a stockist sell, and why it's never the margin. The nervous customer who walked past the shop three or four times before he came in. The Python that US customs flagged as an endangered species. And how a company this small keeps innovating with no development team, no design house, and no crowdfunder in sight.

Kay also talks, in her own words, about coming out as trans during lockdown, and what changed from Mick to Kay. We're putting this one out in Pride Month. That felt right. You'll notice we didn't make a song or dance about it, and that was deliberate. It's her story, told her way.

Next month, the machines take over. That's the second Tuesday of July.

You'll find E-Stim Systems wherever you care to look, and the podcast wherever you're listening to this right now. Give it a follow, and as always, be safe and have fun.

A bonus mini-pod from the road back from EroSpain.

We went to Vegas in April. Three and a half thousand miles across the Atlantic. Customs paperwork was a web form. Some clicking, some typing, done. Then we went to Spain for EroSpain Barcelona. Nine hundred miles across one short hop of Europe. Customs paperwork cost nearly eight hundred quid in stamps, an ATA carnet via the chamber of commerce, four stamps each way, and a building site we had to cross to get to work. The doorstep cost more than the ocean.

This is the EroSpain episode of record. Caz and I sit down together for the mini-pod treatment — about thirteen minutes, two-handed, no script — and we walk you through what it actually takes to ship a trade show stand into the EU since Brexit. The carnet. The chamber of commerce. The four stamps. Frankie the Tankie versus the budget Fiat. Spanish drivers who treat the car horn like a percussion instrument. A 787 with a tail cam and crew sales versus an A320neo with a packet of pretzels and no wifi. Three days of paella. A rooftop pool we never got near because Brexit didn't get us that one, the wind did. And the Spanish, who frankly speak better English than I do.

It's a working podcast, not a holiday slideshow. If you ship product internationally, if you've watched post-Brexit trade shipping turn from a clipboard into a forensic accountancy exercise, or if you just like the gap between what a trip costs on paper and what it actually costs in admin, this one's for you.

If you're enjoying the show, hit the follow button wherever you're listening. And if you've got a moment, a rating or a quick review genuinely helps other people find us.

Mentioned in this episode: EroSpain Barcelona, ATA carnet, post-Brexit trade shipping, Altitude Intimates Las Vegas, Frankie the Tankie.

This episode is different.

No product launches. No tech talk. Just Wayne, a camera, and something that founders and creators don’t say out loud often enough.

After 22 years building E-Stim Systems, Wayne still has moments where his brain constructs a perfect, logical argument for why everything is about to fall apart. A competitor appears. A troll hits. The orders go quiet. And the spiral starts.

In this episode Wayne talks honestly about what triggers it, what the spiral actually feels like, the coping mechanisms that work (and the ones that sort of do), a near-miss that almost ended the business, and why — after 22 years — there are still 34 new product ideas in the notebook.

This is about male mental health, running a small business, and why the spiral is lying.

In this episode:

• The 3am panic — what it actually feels like
• Competitors, trolls, Reddit 
• Why E-Stim Systems will never compete on price
• The cash fear — coming very close to the end
• Plan A through F and when planning becomes its own problem
• The Trading Standards story — the spiral is lying
• The little black book and why writing things down works
• A friend Wayne lost, and why he’s still thinking about it
• Why a single good review can break the whole spiral
• “We don’t have the sole right to create e-stim”

If any of this resonated, Wayne would genuinely love to hear from you.

Las Vegas has a way of turning small inconveniences into big stories and then rewarding you with something you did not expect. 

Our Recent trip starts with the usual travel chaos, a flight that feels longer without working Wi‑Fi, and that first hit of the Las Vegas Strip where everything is brighter and closer than you imagined. Then we land at the Altitude Intimates show and the real surprise begins: our stand suddenly becomes a magnet for serious US retailers.

Back in the hotel room we’re joined by Ian and Rachel from Joanne’s Reviews, who came with us to help on the stand and ended up seeing the industry from the inside. We talk about what made this show different, why the enquiries were higher quality, and how it feels when appointments actually show up and turn into productive wholesale conversations. We also share the practical bits that matter to buyers: clear ordering, no hidden costs, and the trust that comes from being an in‑house UK manufacturer with control over quality and innovation.

Of course, it’s still Vegas. There’s the “Bellagio” of butt plugs display that stops people in their tracks, poker chip QR codes, a Fire alarm that hits at the worst possible time, and a cake vending machine that cannot survive contact with Wayne. Under the laughs is a serious theme: e‑stim education. We unpack common misconceptions about electrostimulation, why safe demos change minds fast, and how much demand there is once people understand it’s not just for men.

If you enjoy behind-the-scenes trade show stories, e‑stim talk, and the reality of building trust with retailers, subscribe, share the episode, and leave us a review. What’s the funniest or most stressful thing you’ve had happen on a work trip?

Vegas is calling, but we’re not pretending it’s a holiday. We’re taking E-Stim Systems to Altitude Intimates in Las Vegas, and the timetable is as intense as it sounds: long-haul flights, jet lagged setup, three full show days, then a fast turnaround back to the UK with more work waiting immediately after we land.

We walk you through what Altitude Intimates actually is, who it’s for, and why adult industry trade shows still matter when most business happens online. For us, the big win is the face to face moment: retailers and distributors can pick up the kit, feel the quality, ask the awkward questions, and quickly understand why our approach to electrostimulation is different. We also get honest market signals by seeing competitors up close, spotting trends that are real versus trends that are just noise, and hearing what buyers are hunting for right now.

Then there’s the part nobody glamorises: trade show logistics. We talk carnets, customs paperwork, shipping an entire display stand, travelling with freebies, and why we bring demo stock rather than selling on the day. We also share why we’re bringing Ian and Rachel from Joanne’s Reviews, how the team back at HQ keeps orders moving, and how these trips create rare thinking time for product development and new ideas we’re not quite ready to reveal.

Follow our social channels for live updates from Las Vegas, then subscribe, share the episode with a mate, and leave us a review so more people can find the podcast. What’s the most chaotic work trip you’ve ever had?

After a 14-month break, Wayne Allen of E-Stim Systems returns with Season 2. Inside: the new 3D print farm, the Ring Racks launch, and a preview of Altitude Intimates Las Vegas 2026.

We pressed pause on the podcast mic to fix the machine—and it worked. After a year spent turning the business inside out, we’re back with a clearer purpose: build gear that sparks real sensation, show it face to face, and put fun at the centre again. From a humming 3D print farm to sold-out ring racks, we share how making in-house gave us control, speed, and the courage to try ideas that only make sense when you can iterate fast and listen to your community in real time.

We trace our path from tiny fetish fairs - just a table, a few boxes, and a lot of explaining - to a 21-year milestone in sex tech. Those early Sundays taught us everything: how consent shapes a demo, how education unlocks pleasure, and why seeing a sceptical look turn into a grin is worth the work. Growth pulled us into efficiency and scale, but we missed the spark that started it all. So we shifted back, choosing craft over catalogue, clarity over hype, and live demos over guesswork. That reset sets the stage for our next move.

We’re heading to Altitude Intimates in Las Vegas, one of the biggest trade shows in the US, with the same mission we had on day one: help people feel what great electro play can be. Caz joins me, and we’re bringing Ian and Rachel from Joanne’s Reviews, who know our devices from retail counters to bedroom testing. Expect honest stories from the floor, practical tips for safe and thrilling demos, and a few guarded hints about what’s in the pipeline. We won’t release until it’s ready, but we’re not showing up empty handed. If you want the unfiltered journey—the wins, the wobblies, and the jet lag - come along with us.

What if advertising doesn't mean endorsing every aspect of a platform's content? Join me, Wayne from E-Stim Systems, as I confront the backlash surrounding our decision to advertise on certain platforms. We tackle the moral outrage and misconception that advertising adult products can generate.

We discuss the necessity of reaching potential customers where they are, while dismissing the unrealistic expectation that any platform is free from potentially offensive content. We must start with reasonable conversations rather than rants, as we navigate the labyrinth of ethical advertising.

Privacy and discretion are key when purchasing adult products, and I assure you that we prioritise these in our shipping and communication.

 We've faced criticism about our presence in adult-only sections, but remain committed to respectful engagement with our community. Lastly we reflect on the joys and hurdles of podcasting, from audience interactions to technical mishaps, and invite you to share your thoughts as we continue this journey together.
