On October 8, 2026, Amsterdam-based Kiiroo launched Julio, which it calls its first ultra-realistic interactive thrusting dildo. The device has an anatomically detailed shape, skin-like silicone, separate thrusting and vibration motors with three intensity levels each, and a suction base for hands-free use. It is IPX7 waterproof and runs about 60 minutes per charge. Julio can be controlled three ways: a one-touch button, an included wireless remote, or Kiiroo's FeelConnect app. The app lets users hand control to a partner in the same room or long-distance and sync the toy to interactive content. MSRP is €89 / $89, and the product is available now.

Why It Matters

Teledildonics has mostly been sold to early adopters as new form factors: app-driven strokers, egg vibes, couples' wearables. Julio goes the other way. It takes one of retail's core legacy categories, by Kiiroo's own description, and connects it at an $89 MSRP. If that price holds up in retail, the premium for adding connectivity to a basic toy gets very thin, which puts pressure on every unconnected SKU in the aisle. The cam angle is also strategic. Tip-reactive hardware has been Lovense's stronghold, and creator adoption drives consumer demand: fans buy what performers use on stream. A realistic, tip-reactive thrusting toy at $89 is Kiiroo's play for a larger share of that creator-led channel. Watch which cam platforms list Julio as supported, and whether Lovense answers on price.

The positioning is more interesting than the spec sheet. Kiiroo says Julio was developed with live cam performers and content creators in mind. Through FeelConnect, it connects to supported webcam platforms and is fully tip-reactive: when a viewer tips, the toy responds on camera in real time with thrusting and vibration. "Realistic dildos are one of the most important categories in our industry, but most of them still work the same way they did years ago," said Kiiroo CEO Toon Timmermans. "With Julio, we kept everything people love about a realistic toy and added the interactive layer Kiiroo is known for. For many customers, this will be their first step into connected pleasure."

Kiiroo is pitching the launch to retail as well as creators. The company says the familiar format is "easy to understand on the shelf," and B2B partners can request partner pricing and stock availability directly.
