The products are designed in-house, and have been recognized with AIGA, ID and IDSA design awards.[6]
In 2009, JIMMYJANE released the first vibrator in their Pleasure to the People series, a design collaboration between Founder, Ethan Imboden, and designer Yves Béhar. The first release in the series was the Form 2 Waterproof Rechargeable Vibrator, which was followed by Form 3, and Form 4 which completed the series after three years.[7]
In May 2013, the vibrators were featured on the Rachael Ray show.[8] In 2014, Imboden was a keynote speaker at the XBIZ adult entertainment industry convention in Los Angeles, in a speech about sex toys.[9]
