About the Founders:
In 1996, recent engineering grads Dirk Bauer and Michael Pahl Dirk Bauer and Michael Pahl realized that the adult toy store landscape was dire. Imagine piles of beige, realistic dildos made of mystery rubber, each giving off a chemical smell.
So they sat down at Dirk’s kitchen table with a sketch pad and some Play-Doh to design the first ever body-safe, non-phallic, harness-compatible dildo: PADDY PENGUIN. That day, FUN FACTORY was born. Since then, they’ve moved from a kitchen table to an eco-friendly, fair labor factory in Bremen, Germany that creates toys for bedrooms all around the world.
