Dr. Annise Mabry has been involved in the adult toy industry since 2003 when she began working as a toy reviewer and over the last decade, she has ghost written hundreds of toy reviews for sites such as Eden’s Fantasies, Adam & Eve, and Extreme Restraints. She has always been a firm believer of “investing in what you buy” and “sell what you know,” so, on December 26, 2013, her and her fiancé opened their first online store with 20,000 items. They have two stores— lezmysterybox.com and daddistoystore.com. She says, “We don’t just want to sell adult toys, we also want to give back to our community and to educate our consumers on their purchase, because in this industry—what you don’t know can be toxic to your health.”
