It was the year Tesla founders started a company launching car models that became hot commodities everyone wanted to ride. <\/span><b>Coincidentally, another product launched that year and caused the same effect \u2013 the <\/b><b>LELO<\/b><b> personal massager.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how many orgasms can you fit in 20 years?<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking back at the invention of the first vibrator which was steam-powered and designed to cure mental issues in the 1880s, we can only be grateful that society\u2019s attitude towards orgasms did a 180\u00b0 and finally accepted that orgasms make us <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feel good<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and we want to have them as often as possible. Without that, LELO would have never seen the light of day. This would be a shame since the thing that LELO understands best is that pleasure isn\u2019t just about reaching an orgasm. It\u2019s an entire journey that should make you feel like a million bucks even when you\u2019re in your sweats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that&#8217;s not just an empty claim by LELO. In its 20 years, LELO has sold over 11 million products. The number of products sold almost equals the population of Sweden, the country of LELO&#8217;s origin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each LELO toy in its lifetime will facilitate a minimum average of 15,600 orgasms, meaning that in 20 years, LELO has made people curl their toes about 171.6 billion times. Let us sit and think about that number again \u2013 171,600,000,000 times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-40005 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20yop_infographic-03-935x1024.jpg\" alt=\"20 anniversary infographic\" width=\"935\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20yop_infographic-03-935x1024.jpg 935w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20yop_infographic-03-274x300.jpg 274w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20yop_infographic-03-768x841.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20yop_infographic-03-1403x1536.jpg 1403w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20yop_infographic-03-1871x2048.jpg 1871w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20yop_infographic-03-770x843.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20yop_infographic-03-1400x1533.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20yop_infographic-03-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 935px) 100vw, 935px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s break that down further. That means that LELO products have been responsible for 16,000 orgasms each minute. Yes, sixteen thousand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s even more staggering is the fact that during LELO in-house tests, the fastest orgasm was achieved in only 35 seconds. That&#8217;s how long it took you to read the previous sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As if the 20 years in numbers is not already impressive for LELO, the magnitude of the change ushered in by LELO is even more awe-inspiring when we know that every minute one LELO product is sold somewhere in the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s to the next 20 years of LELO!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The year of pleasure is upon us and the count starts at 171 billion.
