Adult Supervision Required

Caz and Rachel got sent to the pool. That was probably a mistake. We took E-Stim Systems back to the ANME show in Burbank this year, and the show itself went brilliantly. Getting there was the problem. Two crates, shipped a week early, got stuck in customs at LAX and never made it to the floor. So our entire stand turned up to Los Angeles in two black hand-luggage bags and an iPad. And it worked.

Your Box Has Knobs!! | Meet Kay, the Sales Director Who Built Our Wholesale Side

Most people who deal with E-Stim Systems never speak to me. They speak to Kay. She runs our sales, answers the phones, handles the emails and the live chat, and quietly built the wholesale side of this business from nothing.

Customs paperwork cost nearly eight hundred quid in stamps, an ATA carnet via the chamber of commerce, four stamps each way, and a building site we had to cross to get to work. The doorstep cost more ...

This episode is different. No product launches. No tech talk. Just Wayne, a camera, and something that founders and creators don’t say out loud often enough. After 22 years building E-Stim Systems, Wayne still has moments where his brain constructs a perfect, logical argument for why everything is about to fall apart. A competitor appears. A troll hits.

What Stays in Vegas | E-Stim Systems at Altitude Intimates Las Vegas

Las Vegas has a way of turning small inconveniences into big stories and then rewarding you with something you did not expect. Our Recent trip starts with the usual travel chaos, a flight that feels longer without working Wi‑Fi, and that first hit of the Las Vegas Strip where everything is brighter and closer than you imagined. Then we land at the Altitude Intimates show and the real surprise begins: our stand suddenly becomes a magnet for serious US retailers. Back in the hotel room w...
