The interview was created in direct collaboration with us and perfectly sums up what makes our work different. We highly recommend giving it a read. Here is full unedited version:
1. Can you tell us the story behind your brand?
We are a married couple from the Czech Republic. We met at a technical university in Prague, and we've always enjoyed tackling technological challenges together. The idea of making our own erotic toys was born in 2019. At the time, we couldn’t find high-quality and interesting products on the market. Most toys available in major sex shops came from China and were often poorly made. That’s especially problematic for products that come into direct contact with the body – low-quality materials can contain harmful substances and pose real health risks.
We wanted something that would be truly functional, safe, and visually appealing. We started experimenting with different materials. Since we already had experience with 3D printing, we began designing our own toys that could be made using a 3D printer. When we shared them on a local forum, we received surprisingly enthusiastic responses.
That motivated us to take the next step – to learn how to make high-quality silicone dildos. After a lot of research, we bought our first materials and began experimenting. Our early results weren’t perfect, but they were functional. And when people saw what we were doing, they wanted to try the toys themselves. It was this growing interest from others that convinced us to continue down this path.
Over time, we developed our own production technology, which allows us to create custom toys based on the individual needs and preferences of each customer. This turned out to be essential, because everyone has different desires – and we wanted to offer something more than just a one-size-fits-all solution from mass production.
2. You previously developed the brand 3DErotika, which has now evolved into Deep Pleasure Toys. What led to this change?
The brand 3DErotika was created at the very beginning of our journey, when we mainly used 3D printing to make erotic toys. At the time, we didn’t expect this to become a long-term activity or that we would eventually grow into a maker of custom-designed silicone toys.
As time went on and we launched our first e-shop (initially on a Czech domain), we ran into a problem — the word “Erotika” in the name wasn’t ideal. Search engines and social media platforms tended to perceive it negatively, which made promotion much more difficult. At the same time, our products had evolved significantly — 3D printing became just one of many steps in the development process, while the actual toys were made using a completely different technology.
The main motivation behind changing the name was to drop both “Erotika” and “3D” so that the brand would better reflect our current production methods and allow for more effective marketing. After a lot of consideration, we eventually chose the name Deep Pleasure Toys, which we feel better expresses our focus and values.
3. What is the philosophy behind Deep Pleasure Toys? What principles or values guide your creations?
Our philosophy is centered around maximum customization. From the very beginning, we’ve followed one core principle – we don’t want our customers to be limited to standard toy sizes. Everyone has different needs, and the typical S/M/L/XL sizing simply doesn’t work for many people.
For example, women often prefer shorter and wider toys, while men tend to go for longer and slimmer ones. That’s something mass-market offerings usually can’t provide. That’s why we take an individual approach with each customer, allowing them to choose the exact shape, length, and diameter that fits their preferences.
We design our toys with a focus not only on functionality, but also on aesthetics and user comfort. We aim to create products that are not just tools, but also a source of pleasure and self-discovery.
4. How do you decide which models to bring to the market? Where do your design inspirations come from?
We offer two main types of toys – organic/fantasy models and smooth, rotationally symmetrical shapes. With organic shapes, we focus on making them not only visually interesting and unconventional but also functional in terms of shape and use. For example, we developed a toy called EpiKnot, which combines the shape of a horse penis with a knot – both variants are very popular among customers, so we decided to combine them into one model.
We also design smooth, symmetrical toys that are often used for stretch training and overcoming personal physical limits. These models are developed with a focus on safety and anatomical functionality. The selection of shapes and sizes is based primarily on customer feedback and our long-term experience. On our e-shop, we strive to offer these models in an exceptionally wide range of sizes that is not commonly seen.
For all types of toys, we offer free customization of dimensions – customers can specify the exact length and diameter according to their needs.
The second part of our offer consists of fully customized bespoke manufacturing. In these cases, we connect with the customer through email or social media, where we discuss their wishes and based on that, we design a new shape or adjust the dimensions of one of our existing models. These unique toys are usually not featured on our e-shop – we mostly share them on social media or in our Google gallery.
5. Which model in your collection best represents your brand and why?
This is a really tough question. Our brand is mainly known for our training and stretching toys, which we individually customize to make them as effective as possible. Primarily, these include various plugs, bulges, and tunnels.
We are also known for the extreme sizes we are capable of producing. When we made a 125 cm long toy years ago, we thought nothing could surprise us. That was until this year, when we received a request for a 300 cm toy, which we successfully managed to create. This truly represents our brand – we don’t know anyone else who can create something like this.
6. Do you face any specific challenges as a sextoy manufacturer?
We are a small manufacturer, and our team consists of only two people, which affects the entire process – we handle everything ourselves, from customer communication to production and distribution. Each part of this process is a challenge for us, and balancing it with family life is not always easy. On the other hand, we enjoy challenges, and perhaps that’s why we find this work so fulfilling and rewarding.
One of the biggest technical limitations is the production technology itself. Offering custom one-off manufacturing to our customers brings many complications. We’ve developed our own specific technology that allows us to remain competitive, but even that has its limits. Our goal is to gradually push these boundaries and continually improve.
Promotion in the adult industry is very challenging due to the nature of the products, as advertising is usually rejected. Therefore, we focus most on showcasing our manufactured toys on social media. Our toys speak for themselves – and we believe this is the best way. Potential customers can see what we make and realize that we have no prejudices or limits.
7. Offering fully customized sextoys is rare in the industry, particularly due to the constraints of molding and production. How do you manage this level of flexibility without size limits?
Custom manufacturing is one of the main pillars of our work, and it’s what sets us apart from most other sex toy manufacturers, who mainly offer specific models. We strive to offer each customer a toy precisely tailored to their needs.
In the early years of our existence, we focused exclusively on custom manufacturing, which gave us enough time to fine-tune our technology so that we can produce almost anything. It wasn’t until 2024 that we launched our e-shop with ready-made models, but the individual approach remains at the core of our philosophy.
As for manufacturing limits, for most customers, they are practically non-existent. We’ve produced a toy 300 cm long, and if someone wanted 400 cm, that wouldn’t be a problem. The largest diameter we've made so far was around 16 cm of usable diameter, but we can manage even larger. Still, our technology has certain limitations. The biggest challenge is creating complex, highly detailed, or extremely intricate shapes.
Most manufacturers create new models by first pouring a silicone mold and then testing it. If everything works, they put it into production. However, we usually only have one attempt per piece – if something goes wrong, we have to start from scratch.
8. Your customization service includes modifications to existing models as well as the creation of entirely unique designs. What type of clientele is most interested in these options?
Most often, we attract people who are into stretching and are looking for larger toys. They often need something that’s not available elsewhere or something that is no longer being produced. They usually have a clear idea of what they’re looking for, or at least know the goal they want to achieve. Based on that, we help them select the appropriate toy or create a custom model for them.
In terms of gender, our customer base is quite balanced. Men usually prefer longer toys, while women tend to look for models that are as short as possible but also thicker. We know quite a lot about our customers because we individually address their needs and preferences to offer the most suitable product.
At the same time, we also consider those who don’t want to discuss the details of their interests with anyone. That’s why we established the e-shop, where we offer an unusually wide range of sizes for most toys. For some models, we offer diameters ranging from 5 to 20 cm, with increments of 0.5 cm. And there is still the option of choosing a custom variation, where the customer can select the dimensions according to their own preferences.
9. Your ‘tunnels’ stand out from traditional plugs due to their hollow design and ability to fold before insertion. What unique sensations do they offer, and what inspired their development?
Our tunnels are truly unique. Although we've only offered them for a short time, they've gained massive popularity. As with most of our products, customer demand was the main inspiration here. They frequently asked us whether we could make custom tunnels or sleeves. Initially, this was technologically impossible – our method did not allow for custom tunnel production. However, over time, we found a way to solve this problem. Today, we have mastered this technology, and our tunnels work great.
When it comes to their usability and the sensations they provide, it's very individual. Most of our tunnels have the shape of a plug, so they can be inserted into the body and left inside. Thanks to their flexibility, they adapt to the body's shape, and wearing them is very comfortable. The tunnel structure also allows for a wide range of play. For example, we have made very soft tunnels that don't hold their shape on their own, which are used for gradual stretching or inflation. On the other hand, we’ve also made firmer tunnels with custom pins that fit precisely inside and stay in place. There are countless ways to use them, and our customers love them.
10. Any final thoughts? If there’s anything else you’d like to share with our readers, a message for your customers, or advice for those considering trying your products, feel free to add it!
The most important thing we want to share is that health should always come first. We recommend choosing only high-quality toys made from safe materials. We believe it’s better to buy one really good toy per year than ten cheap and dangerous ones. If you’re investing in a high-quality (and thus more expensive) toy, it should fit your needs perfectly. Often, the offerings from regular manufacturers are a compromise that may not fully meet your requirements. If you're unsure about your selection, don't hesitate to reach out to us – we're happy to help with choosing or designing a custom-made toy. And if you're involved in training and stretching, you understand that every centimeter matters. That's why it’s crucial to have a perfectly tailored toy, allowing for safe and effective progress.
A huge thank you to the Big Good Dildos team for the opportunity and for taking the time to highlight our work so thoroughly and respectfully. We truly appreciate it!
