For Zumio, as a small Canadian startup, entry into the Chinese retail market has been challenging. Navigating the language, cultural and distance barriers, e-commerce platforms and legal issues in China takes persistence. Luckily, our friends at Trusticcs - a provider of international legal services helped us navigate entry into the Chinese market.
Zumio now sells in dozens of Chinese retail stores as well e-commerce platforms Taobao and Tmall. In January 2022, Shopify announced a partnership with JD and we hope to be listed on the JD.com platform very soon!
Why is the Asian market important to Zumio?
The Chinese, Japanese and South Korean sex toy industries are undergoing a major shift. New modern, luxury sex toy shops focused on education and exclusivity are replacing the older seedy shops.
“Ten years ago, most of the sex toy shops were decorated in a male-dominant way. Females might feel awkward and uncomfortable visiting them,” says Lui Wing-hang, who owns Sally’s Toy.
“The pinpoint tip provides intense clitoral stimulation, and it also moves in a unique, oscillating pattern that some may prefer to a traditional buzzing toy,” Jones stated, emphasizing the rotation (not vibration) Zumio is known for.LadiesNight.nl writer Michelle stated that the Zumio X is a “guaranteed orgasm for every woman.” Users can control the speed of orgasm, and the Zumio is very suitable to use with a partner. “I have a new purple girlfriend,” Michelle wrote, “and her name is Zumio!” Well + Good’s Mary Grace Garis wrote,
“Research shows that during sexual intercourse, most vulva-owners simply can’t climax from penetration alone. The exact figures vary, but one study suggests it’s fewer than a dismal 20 percent.”The flip side of this figure, however, states that orgasms come much faster for many via clitoral stimulation. And for users looking for something direct, the Zumio S and its pinpoint SpiroTip will get the job done. Blogger Witch of the Wands wrote that, for people who Zumio’s pinpoint pressure may be “too pinpoint,” the Zumio S split the difference perfectly.
“The experience I have had with my Zumio S has totally changed my feelings on this style of pinpoint vibration,” they wrote. “The change in the tipFrench blogger Elle at objetsdeplaisir.fr described the newest Zumio, the Zumio E as a small, ultra-powerful sex toy that was not very noisy — the ultimate unexpected combination.and its changes when pressure is applied made for a perfect harmony against my clit.”
“From New York to the Netherlands, the Zumio range has opened up new experiences for people — even among them most experienced and discerning sex bloggers and reviewers around. Retailers can access Zumio’s Instagram feed at @zumioinc for more information and comments from reviewers and customers.

The orgasms thus obtained are extremely powerful,” Elle wrote. “Discovering a new way to explore your body and achieve orgasms is a great experience!”
“This is exciting territory for us here at Zumio,” explained Joan Highet, Zumio’s Chief Marketing Officer. “The Zumio E offers consumers a whole new way to customize their exploration and pleasure.”The Zumio E retails for $98, reflecting the consumer-beneficial price reduction Zumio recently enacted for all its products. All Zumio products come with a comprehensive one-year warranty for added consumer confidence.
Emily recalled the event on her top-rated podcast of the same name. “The other day, a woman called into the radio show and asked me if I’d tried a toy called Zumio yet,” Morse said. “Shockingly, I had not! So, I reached out to see if they’d send me one – which they very kindly did. Let me just say: Stop. The. Presses. This thing is totally different.”The result of this happy discovery led to a collaboration between the brand and the Sex with Emily media platforms, across which Emily has been spreading the news of Zumio’s “Pleasure Revolution” to her vast, sex-positive audience. Although the product may have been new to Emily, consumers have made Zumio one of the fastest-growing products on the global market since its introduction three years ago, largely due to what it ISN’T… It’s not a vibrator, and it’s not designed for any specific gender or body part. Instead, it quickly rotates its small, round tip to allow pinpoint stimulation of whatever it touches.
“Zumio is really all about exploration,” explains Joan Highet, the brand’s Chief Retail Officer. “Our customers quickly find out they can use Zumio to learn about their bodies like never before. We’re thrilled to have Emily share that message with her fans.”Working together with Zumio, Emily and the Sex with Emily team are creating content to build awareness for the product. And because her podcast that sees over 1.5 Million unique downloads per month, Zumio’s pretty sure Emily will be able to make up for letting them sneak passed her for so long.

Because it doesn’t look like any body part or any other sex toy. And that’s just how we like it. Zumio is simply a sex toy that uses pinpoint oscillations to stimulate the body. Where on the body you choose for that pinpoint stimulation to go is up to you. But here are a few of our favorite areas to get you started.
Ok, ok. By popular demand, we will start with the clitoris
It’s important to know that the Zumio doesn’t vibrate. That fine tip actually whirls around in tiny circles for a completely unique oscillating sensation that users love. It is deep, intense and rumbly making it an ideal toy for direct stimulation on or around the clitoris. But just because you originally found the
Zumio in the clitoral toys category doesn’t mean it has to stay there right?
The labia likes love too
It’s not just the clitoris that likes to be stimulated, the whole vulva is full of nerve endings and exploring them with the Zumio can be a lot of fun too. You will also likely feel some indirect stimulation on the clitoris during this type of play which can be a nice, new sensation. And, a nice little breather from that intense clitoral stim. “Don’t forget us!” – your nipples Nipple play. Some love it, while others hate it. But, if you do love it, then you might just love the way Zumio can stimulate those too. Try using the tip for direct pressure.
Or, you can try circling your nipple using the side of the stylus for a completely different experience altogether. Even those that find other nipple vibrators a bit on the tickly side may find that Zumio actually works for them. The difference is that Zumio moves, it doesn’t vibrate. And, that is why it can be used to stimulate areas that some other vibrators might tickle.
A pleasant surprise for your penis The Zumio can be a lot of fun for penises too. You can use the tip or stylus to stimulate the frenulum or really go for gold and use it on the head of the penis to circle the urethra. And while you are at it, you might as well test out how it feels against the perineum too right? A quick clue: It feels awesome!
Tease me to please me And remember that Zumio doesn’t always need to be the star of the show! You can use it alongside other toys too or during sex with your partner to add some extra stimulation to your play.
Or of course, you can use it as a toy for teasing and watch your partner squirm with pleasure. That line between pleasure and pleasurable torture is certainly a fine one. And, a toy this intense really makes the most of it. Zumio is a sex toy for all bodies and all orientations. If you enjoy pinpoint precision, intense stimulation and a whole lot of pleasurable exploration then it might just be right for you too.
This toy’s oscillating stem is the best thing we have found for focusing intense stimulation on the most sensitive parts of the vulva and clitoris. The Zumio has the narrowest tip of any vibrator we have seen, concentrating and intensifying the vibrations within a relatively small surface area. The small, rounded tip and lightweight, easy-to-control handle also make it a great choice for partner play, or for people with arthritis or limited use of their hands.
These days I also recommend toys like Zumio for really pinpoint stimulationRefinery 29 is one of the world's most popular culture, fashion and media publications that reaches an audience of over 500 Million globally. The publication's wide reach and high-quality content and in-depth editorials make it a large influencer for new products, trends and culture.
The pinpoint tip provides intense clitoral stimulation and it also moves in a unique, oscillating pattern that some may prefer to a traditional buzzing toy. “The Zumio is unlike any other toy I own or have seen on the market,” says Moore. “The tip actually moves instead of just vibrating, which makes for really unique sensations.”
At Zumio we understand that each person is unique, with a unique level of sensitivity, so we created a second Zumio model to appear to a wider range of user moods and sensitivities. Zumio S features a larger, softer tip with a shorter extension, giving a different feeling and lower level of intensity compared to Zumio X. If someone craves intensity, we recommend trying Zumio X. If they’re not sure about intensity, they can start with the new Zumio S. The Zumio X and Zumio S both feature the tiny but powerful SpiroTIP™ that whirls around in tiny circles, concentrating wonderfully unique pulses of pleasure to one small area at a time. Zumio is radically different from other sex toys.

Zumio is precise like an “artist’s brush” whereas a vibrator is more like a paint roller.This very efficient energy transfer is what makes Zumio feel more intense when in fact it is simply a more isolated nerve response.
June 13, 2017 | OTTAWA, ON | For Immediate Release | Zumio Inc. proudly announces that its new clitoral stimulation product, Zumio™, has won Best New Product
at Adultex 2017. The adult trade exhibition, showcasing the best new products and latest innovations in sexual pleasure and wellness products took place on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia over April 26-28. Zumio is the world’s only clitoral stimulator based on the proven circular fingertip motion. Zumio’s patented SpiroTIP™ and motor clutch drive system allows users to dynamically go from high speed and intensity down to a low speed and intensity, without having to touch a control, to instinctively and more naturally adjust the stimulation to suit their needs. It is this proprietary design which is credited with creating more intense and varied orgasms. Whereas traditional vibrators generate much more energy than Zumio and shake everything they touch often creating sensory overload and a numbing effect, Zumio’s small TIP and dynamic control makes the energy delivered to the clitoral nerve more selective. Zumio’s non-vibrating technology also makes Zumio more comfortable to hold.“We are delighted to receive this award, it confirms our team of female designers have come up with a truly revolutionary clitoral stimulator by taking the natural circular fingertip motion concept to a new level,” said Veronica Farmer, Chief Experience Officer, Zumio. “Many thanks to Calvista for this recognition and their hard work in putting on such a successful event."As well as developing many prototypes, the Zumio design team conducted three years of testing. In trials, users reported better control to achieve a greater variety of more intense orgasms, coming to climax quicker, and experiencing multiple orgasms for the first time. Alone or with a partner, women now have the perfect toy to enjoy a rapid orgasm, multiple orgasms, or hours of pleasure exploration. Pleasure has never been the same. Zumio is available for purchase from a growing list of retailers in Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and Europe, as well as Amazon and www.dreampress.myzumio.com/buy-now
For Zumio, having our product and technology recognized by leader's in the Adult retail industry was an exciting moment. As we continue to ramp up distribution we look forward to hearing more feedback from both users and industry partners.
