Munkey-Barz Readies for Shipping

MANDEVILLE, La.—Munkey-Barz, the innovative new sex toy that helps couples get a little more movement and control in the bedroom, is getting ready to start shipping its first major orders. Munkey-Barz is a smaller version of a traditional weight belt that that can be customized with bling on the outside, colored handles and fake fur lining available in tiger stripe, zebra stripe, monkeys and more. Munkey-Barz debuted earlier this year and has already been featured on Howard Stern’s radio show. CEO Mike Beadle created the product, and for some time made every set by hand. After finding a new manufacturer, Beadle said company reps are waiting for final samples from the manufacturer before shipping their first major orders from the AVN Novelty Expo in January. “The Munkey-Barz aren’t a gag gift,” Beadle told AVN. “They really, really change the way people have sex.” Retailing for under $100, the belt comes in various sizes and can be worn by men or women. The handles on either side of the belt, which is crafted from leather and padded for added comfort, allow for gripping and better control in various sex positions. Beadle said there are plans to add various accessories, including different sized handles, O-rings for more hardcore S&M play, a silver bullet vibrator that can be controlled by using one of the handles as a throttle, and more. Munkey-Barz is still looking for distribution partners for the products. For more information, visit Munkey-Barz.com.
