Celebrating 50 Years of Innovation and Pleasure: Pipedream Products’ Golden Anniversary

In the ever-evolving landscape of adult novelty products, one company has stood the test of time, pushing boundaries and redefining pleasure for half a century. Pipedream Products, a trailblazer in the adult industry, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, marking a milestone that reflects not only longevity, but also a commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.


Founded in Cleveland in 1973 by brothers Bob and David Feldman, the business started out selling glass pipes—thus the distinctive name, Pipedream Products. Quickly outgrowing that space, adult pleasure products were soon on the company’s radar. This necessitated staffing up—including, by the late ’80s, a young man named Nick Orlandino, who worked his way up to partner and ultimately CEO. Under his leadership, Pipedream rapidly became one of the premier adult novelty companies with several lines having remained popular today including Fetish Fantasy Series®, King Cock®, and PDX Elite®.  


Throughout the years, Pipedream has endured an ever-changing economy, supply chain issues and various other challenges, tackling them all with creativity and determination while achieving seemingly limitless growth. In September 2022, Pipedream hired current CEO Barbara Cook, who brought decades of consumer-focused experience to the company and has made it a goal to continue Pipedream’s tradition of continuously supporting every aspect of the industry, from manufacturing to the end consumer.  


“It is with great pleasure that we extend our heartfelt thanks to our loyal customers for being such an important part of that success. Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We listen to their feedback, understand their needs, and strive to exceed their expectations with every product we create.”


Central to Pipedream’s success has been its unwavering commitment to innovation. The company has consistently introduced ground-breaking products such as the Her Ultimate Pleasure vibrator with triple-play action, or the Fuck-o-matic stroker which features intermittent suction. Chief Design Officer (CDO) Kristian Broms emphasizes this commitment, stating, “Our goal has always been to create products that not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers. Innovation is at the core of what we do, and it has been key to our standing as industry leaders.”


Over the decades, Pipedream Products has witnessed and adapted to the changing cultural attitudes towards adult products. The company has played a pivotal role in destigmatizing the conversation around sexual wellness and pleasure. Barbara Cook remarks, “We’ve seen significant shifts in societal attitudes over the years. Pipedream has been at the forefront of opening up dialogues about sexual health and pleasure, contributing to a more inclusive and accepting culture.”


As Pipedream Products celebrates its 50th anniversary, the company remains focused on the future. With a dedication to staying ahead of industry trends and a commitment to evolving with the times, Pipedream is poised for continued success. Kristian Broms expresses optimism for the future, saying, “The next 50 years will undoubtedly bring new challenges and opportunities. We are excited to continue pushing boundaries, challenging norms, and creating products that bring joy and satisfaction to our customers.
