Drew do you give a little spiel? Drew: YEAH, My name’s Drew. I’m located in Michigan, and I do a lot of the product development and Director of Operations is my of?cial title. Joe: Drew is kinda the brain child behind the whole idea of the product. And what it is in its most basic form; it’s a harness that you put on your foot and you’re able to attach a dildo to it. So it’s a strap on, the ?rst strap-on that you can actually use on yourself. Normally a strap-on, you need a partner, and you can use the Heeldo with a partner but we will get to that in a little bit. It’s a harness that allows for hands free masturbation. You can put a dildo on it or a butt plug on it put on the back of your heel you use it on yourself, if you put it in the bottom heel position on the bottom of your foot and you can use it on a partner laying in front of you.
