Anne Bryne of The Dungeon Store Talks E-Stim with SHE Magazine

Baltimore, Maryland — Anne Bryne, the Founder and Co-Owner of The Dungeon Store recently discussed erotic EMS/TENS units and violet wands with Sexual Health Magazine as part of their feature titled “Tingles and Thrills” about e-stim in the Summer Issue of the publication.

Bryne was one of several sexual health experts quoted in the article and she has over 20 years of experience with violet wands, EMS/TENS units, and other e-stim pleasure products available to the sexually adventurous.

Violet wands are units designed to radiate a tingling electrical stimulation across the skin. They often consist of a basic unit, and there are a wide variety of accessories that can be plugged into one, most importantly the conductive cable, which allows the user, or their partner to be electrified, making almost any metal that comes into contact a potential toy. Sensations with a violet wand range from a gentle tingle to intense heat, but these are not intended to penetrate deep below the skin.

“Violet wands tend to be the most visually exciting device, or as Bryne puts it, ‘the showman of the e-stim world,” the article explains.

“Moving the electrode close to the skin creates the ‘spark’ that will jump from the electrode to the skin, creating anything from a quick jab to a bubbly tingling sensation,” Bryne explained in the article.

EMS/TENS units operate differently, penetrating deep under the skin to invoke a muscle response. They’re also used differently for safety reasons.

“Essentially, you are using the unit to contract and relax various muscles,” Bryne noted about TENS units. “This means you’re controlling, stimulating, and arousing these areas with the turn of a knob.”

The in depth article covers a variety of e-stim pleasure products and their benefits in the boudoir. The article even spotlighted The Dungeon Store’s Violet Wand Basic Kit, which comes with a three year warranty and an instructional DVD.

Brittany Wilson of The Dungeon Store Talks Kink with The Weekly Hot Spot Podcast

World Wide Web – Brittany Wilson, Sales and Marketing Director for The Dungeon Store was recently on The Weekly Hot Spot Podcast to discuss kinky products, books, and Wilson dedicated a half hour to talk about violet wands and electro play.

Hosted by Mistress Olivia and Ms Erika, The Weekly Hot Spot is a BDSM advice podcast. Their show offers candid conversations about sex, fetish, BDSM, kink, phone sex and even vanilla erotic pleasure.

The Dungeon Store is a woman owned, second generation business, with a curated collection of pleasure products. Many of the floggers, paddles and electric gear carried by The Dungeon Store are handcrafted by professionals in the BDSM community.

“We’re a good ol’ fashioned, small, family business!” began Wilson. “We are very mindful and very thoughtful about what products make sense. What standard of quality we want to see before we carry something and have an aggressive mind towards high-quality goods… We span a range of prices and product types.”

That standard earned The Dungeon Store three nominations for the 2024 AVN Awards.

Wilson discussed products like the Flameless Wax Play Kits and Deer Tanned Leather Floggers.

“You take a cow hide, and you tan it as if it were a deer hide, at which point you have elicited the most soft, supple, texture you can get out of a cow hide,” Explained Wilson. “It’s elevating a cow hide to the best possible end life. I think it’s a great flogger for beginners and intermediates. It’s well weighted, so the handle and falls are about the same weight. It maneuvers very well. The falls stay together when throwing… It is a reliable classic. And it comes in every color. We’re big fans of colored leather here. The days of all black everything have come to a close.”

The conversation turned to The Dungeon Store’s collection of books, which include BDSM techniques, role play, books on the occult and spirituality, but also books on mindset in kink.

“I want people to go and get this book,” instructed Olivia. “‘This Curious Human Phenomenon’ by Peter Masters, it is one of my all time favorite books ever, and it changed how I interact with BDSM because it moved it away from the implements… it went into the psychology and it is absolutely brilliant.”

“It’s not about how to hit, how to tie up. It’s not a how-to book,” added Wilson. “It is a discussion of the psychological phenomena that are in play, whenever we engage in various power exchange dynamics.”

In the second episode, Wilson goes into greater detail about electrical play and the violet wand accessories available from The Dungeon Store.

“All beginners should get a good, solid state violet wand,” said Wilson. “On the site, it would be our Explorer Kit… A violet wand in its most general usage is a sensation toy. It is great for the ticklers, the gentle touch, the caressers, it’s really that genre of implement for the average person.”

“Electro is less of its own fetish and more about bringing electricity into all of your pre-existing fetishes. If extreme pain is your fetish, great. That’s doable. If needles and medical is your fetish, excellent. They conduct electricity. If rope is your fetish, I’ve got fantastic news. Guess what, there’s conductive rope. If flogging is your fetish, you’re in luck. There are conductive floggers. So once you get into electro, it’s just a layer you get to put on top of all of your pre-existing fetishes.”

Wilson also gave advice on aftercare from play with a violet wand, saying “What it’s doing is pulling ozone out of your skin. You’re going to want to treat it like a sunburn. Aftercare should be really heavy on aloe-based lotions. Just use that on everywhere you’ve played. Just get it in your skin, and that’s the best way.”

Anne Bryne of The Dungeon Store Whips Up Article on Retailing Violet Wands for Xbiz

Los Angeles, CA — Anne Bryne, Founder and Co-Owner of The Dungeon Store, recently wrote an article for Xbiz.com on violet wands and things to consider when selling them in retail stores.

“With pretty tubes filled with neon colors, arcing electricity with an ear-tingling crackle and zap, violet wands look futuristic and exciting,” explains Bryne in the article. “A violet wand is in essence a sexy radio transmitter, pumping out electrons. When the wand touches skin, the electricity moves across the skin as opposed to through the body.”

While violet wands have been around for over 100 years, they only started making their way into the pleasure product market in the mid 90s, through experimentation in the BDSM scene. In the 2000s, a major transition came about as solid state violet wands began to replace older, mechanical models. These have made the curious toys more affordable to the kinky community and practical as a pleasure product.

Anne Bryne has over 20 years of experience with violet wands. She sells them, teaches classes on how to use them, and even co-produced educational videos on violet wand techniques. Her company, The Dungeon Store, makes many violet wand accessories in house.

“There’s a lot of discussion about them in the BDSM scene, and my hope is this article makes retailers more likely to embrace violet wands as a pleasure product,” notes Bryne. “Violet wands are a very stimulating instrument in the bedroom and it’s a delight to help everyone understand more about these daring devices.”

This weekend, The Dungeon Store will be in Connecticut, showing at the sold out exhibition, Tethered Together. For distribution, retail opportunities, and affiliate programs regarding The Dungeon Store, email sales@thedungeonstore.com.

The Dungeon Store Demonstrating Violet Wands at Exxxotica Miami

Miami, FL — Attendees of Exxxotica Miami are in for a shocking treat as The Dungeon Store will be demonstrating violet wands at their booth during the show. The expo will be September 17-19, 202 at the Airport Convention Center, 711 NW 72nd Ave., Miami, FL 33126.

A violet wand is a form of e-stim toy, using electricity that travels across the surface of the skin. The name comes from the most popular of wand accessories, which produce a neon violet glow. Sensations from violet wands range from fizzy champagne bubbles over the skin to prickly sparks and sharp arcing. The lights and sounds produced when the electricity travels safely over the body are intriguing and always generate curiosity.

While violet wands and accessories are a specialty at The Dungeon Store, they are merely a taste of the store’s curated collection of fetish gear and BDSM essentials. Much of The Dungeon Store catalog is sourced from creative kinky professionals across the United States.

“If you’ve never tried a violet wand before, please treat yourself and ask for a demonstration,” said Anne Bryne, Owner and Founder of The Dungeon Store. “We’re going to have everyone’s favorites and specials just for expo attendees. We’re offering a free gift for everyone who signs up for our newsletter mailing list.”

Along with violet wand kits, silicone sex toys, and kinky favorites like paddles and vegan BDSM toys, there will be a special line of candles made specifically for kinky wax play. Included are candles with genital shapes, excellent for decoration in the dungeon or a secret boudoir. These are created to safely melt at about 124 degrees Fahrenheit, and are available in colors which glow under blacklight. This is a special just for Exxxotica and not yet available at the online store.

Ticket info, guest appearances, schedule and more are available at www.ExxxoticaExpo.com.

Brittany Wilson of The Dungeon Store and Split Peaches Guests on The Dark Mark Show

Violet wands, BDSM Gear and More at The Dungeon Store

Note: This is one of many different press releases written for Wilson’s appearance on The Dark Mark Show. Mark really did his homework and we got a lot of good material out of his interview. We were able to create different releases to pitch to multiple outlets and transcripts will be posted on social media too. Kind thanks to Mark and Jamie for having Brittany on their show!

Los Angeles — Brittany Wilson, Brand Manager of The Dungeon Store and Split Peaches was recently a special guest on The Dark Mark Show, a subculture and comedy podcast.

The Dark Mark Show is hosted by Dark Mark, a Gothic comedian known for his stand up across Hollywood and Los Angeles. Kinky actress and comedian Jamie Gendron joined in as co-host for the evening.

Wilson spoke about working pleasure products business, her passion about educating the public about kink and sexual health, and the products she works with.

Wilson gleefully mentioned how The Dungeon Store acquired Split Peaches pleasure products in 2020. “It was a pandemic addition to our business. While everyone spent the pandemic learning to do their own sourdough starter, I learned how to make body safe dildos! The goal of the greater line is whimsy. Make it rainbow, make it fun, make it cute.”

Wilson and Gendron educated Dark Mark on the basics of violet wands, a specialty at The Dungeon Store.

“It shocks you in the right places.” Gendron explained. “I had a boyfriend who introduced me to that. He definitely made a fan out of me.”

“You have the device, it plugs into the wall, and you have different attachments in the end of the device,” Wilson instructed. “So most of the things you’re looking at are attachments that plug into the device itself… I can’t think of another fetish item that is as versatile as a violet wand is. You can use a body contact cable, which allows you to become the conductor, at which point, you can use your hands to shock your partner. You can use your tongue… From the tip of your nose to the tips of your toes, you can just be electrified… They’re a really sensual toy!”

When Mark asked about items for beginners, Wilson recommended the vegan friendly, Bedroom Bondage Kit from The Dungeon Store.

“That’s the beginning of restraints and impact and that begins to cover a good, well rounded introduction,” she suggested.
