Austin Kink Weekend (AKW) has officially wrapped, and we’re still buzzing from the energy of such a massive, sex-positive event. Austin always brings a unique vibe, and this year was no exception. We spent the weekend surrounded by an incredible community of gear enthusiasts and explorers who know exactly what they’re looking for in their play.
The booth was busy from start to finish, and we loved every minute of connecting with the crowd!
The Star of the Show: DickStick Masturbation Balm
While we love our gear, this weekend was truly about the DickStick experience. We wanted to make sure everyone in the AKW scene knew exactly why our balm is a kit essential.
We spent the weekend focusing on the science of the slide. Since we weren't doing live demos at this event, we made sure nobody went home empty-handed—we gave out tons of free samples so you could experience the DickStick difference for yourself.
What makes people flip for DickStick?
• The Texture: It’s all about that premium, buttery-smooth feel. No grit, no stickiness—just pure glide.
• The Longevity: AKW is a marathon, not a sprint. We designed this balm for a long-lasting lubricating feel that doesn't thin out or dry up when things start getting intense.
• The Portability: Our samples were the talk of the weekend, providing the perfect "test drive" for those looking to upgrade their solo or partner sessions.
Gear Spotlight: Fruit of the Goon & The Harness
Even though the balm was front and center, we couldn't show up to a gear-heavy weekend without some style. We had a great time seeing the Fruit of the Goon Tee all over the hotel—it’s clearly becoming a favorite for the community! Plus, our Tighty Whities Harness remained a top pick for those looking to bridge the gap between classic nostalgia and serious gear.
Thank You, Austin!
To everyone who stopped by to grab a sample, chat about the product, or snag a shirt: thank you. The AKW community is so welcoming, and we’re honored that DickStick is becoming a staple in your toy bags.
