In The Name of October

October 16th, 2009

October is the month of Halloween which, in my not-so-humble opinion should have just as much lead up as Christmas or any other holiday. In fact, I wouldn’t mind if November 1st was a federal holiday for recuperation (we can swap it for Columbus Day). Plus, local governments wouldn’t need to change the dates of trick or treating. Halloween is a cause for fun to me.

Yet, October is a month of other causes. Most notably, Breast Cancer Awareness but no less important, Domestic Violence Awareness. I think these are both worthy causes and while there isn’t as much attention given to domestic violence awareness, several companies have stepped up to aid in the fight against breast cancer. California Exotic Novelties and Natural Contours donate a portion or all of the proceeds from specific vibrators toward specific groups. In CEN’s case, it is the waterproof, Papillon Massager which is available at Babeland for $18.

California Exotic Novelties, the worldwide leader in the adult novelty business, is one of a very few such companies who regularly give back to the community through charitable work and support of social programs.

In their continued support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) – California Exotic Novelties reaffirms their fight against that dreaded disease. As the industry’s only woman-founded, woman-directed company, they are especially (and in some cases, personally) aware of its devastating effects, and are donating a portion of each sale of their popular “Papillon” massager to Living Beyond Breast Cancer, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping sufferers of the disease recapture their self-image and sexual well-being

Natural Contours has crafted a pink version of their Petite Vibrator, which I previously reviewed. The Pink Ribbon Petite is also available from Babeland for $14.99.

Natural Contours® is donating 10% of the sales proceeds from the PETITE PINK RIBBON™ to Breast Cancer Action.

Babeland has also upped the ante by offering to donate 20% of proceeds from certain pink toys to help fund mammograms for women. The list includes the Layaspot, Form 6 and Smart Balls Teneo Uno. If you’ve been considering any of these toys, now is the perfect time to buy. You can show your support and get off.
