NEW YORK, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Condom manufacturer Trojan is expecting "good vibrations" as their new line of sex toys goes mainstream into Wal-Mart stores and on Amazon.com.

This month, Trojan is shipping subtle black boxes containing so-called "intimacy care" products, including a warming gel, vibrating ring and vibrators, destined for the feminine-hygiene sections of major pharmacies.

Competitors Durex and Ansell are also on the bandwagon, the New York Daily News said Monday.

"Has it been a long time coming? I suppose you could say that," Mare said.
