HQ TRADE MAGAZINE APRIL 2016 82 This model is operated by squeezing the head of the penis from top and bottom to release the flow. Inside the head of the penis is a “pressure release valve” which opens up when you squeeze it. Our original Whizzinator was operated by flipping a switch at the base of the prosthetic, that switch is still there but it is now a safety switch. Like the safety on a firearm, the switch is used to prevent the accidental discharge of the synthetic urine when unintended pressure is applied to the head of the prosthetic. You flip it up and out to turn the safety off and you flip it down and in to turn the safety on. The exact length of the prosthesis, in sort of a permanent “chubby” state, is three-and-a-half inches long and comes in skin-tone colors of white, tan, brown, black, and Latino. And yes, there's also a version called Lil' Whiz that's just for the ladies. As unhygienic as going number one on somebody may seem, actual human urine is generally considered a low risk factor for transmitting bacterial and viral infections. This is not to say that there is no risk. There is the possibility that a number of common STIs could be transmitted through urine contacting the eye or throat, although as you can imagine, credible data is difficult to come by. In some states, the act of secreting bodily fluids onto another person can have more serious consequences in terms of criminal assault charges. Those are good reasons why The Whizzinator has become a popular alternative to the real thing. As Avalos points out, “It's the perfect way to substitute your fluids for something that is clean, sterile, non-toxic, and safe to use.” ALS even has a chemist on staff who regularly tests their synthetic urine to ensure it meets the demanding expectations of picky pee-ers. “Our synthetic urine is so close to real urine that if you put them side by side, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference simply by looking at them – even the smell and taste (which we don't recommend) is incredibly realistic,” Avalos says. “As for the chemical composure, it's very similar to human urine – the only thing missing is a person's DNA.” As simple as the Whizzinator is to use, ALS is constantly upgrading the product performance and packaging. Many improvements, such as a quieter activation method, are the result of customer feedback. Branding has changed as well – before being labeled as The Whizzinator Touch, the product was simply known by its model number. Portraying it as a sex toy makes it less troublesome to carry in a retail environment. “In Florida, for example, there is a law that the product has to be placed alongside adult novelty items. If it is placed with smoking accessories, it is considered a device intended to be used to pass a drug test,” Avalos points out. ALS is adamant that they do NOT endorse using The Whizzinator for illegal purposes – they state right on their website that it is “designed for novelty use only!” “As long as you're comfortable talking about prosthetic penises and synthetic urine, The Whizzinator is a fun product to sell,” Avalos says. “We get smoke shops that call us and joke that they never would have believed they would sell so many penis’s in one day!” v Behind the Scenescontinued
