Smoak by Shanna Moakler
Brand Overview
Smoak by Shanna Moakler is a celebrity-licensed adult pleasure brand developed in partnership with Cousins Group Inc., a veteran adult novelty manufacturer and distributor operating since 1974. The line carries the signature CG- SKU prefix — Cousins Group's in-house product identifier — and is distributed through adult specialty retailers and e-commerce platforms including phareros.com. Behind the brand is Shanna Moakler herself: Miss USA 1995, Playboy Playmate of the Month (December 2001), actress, model, entrepreneur, and one of the most recognizable names from the reality-TV era of the mid-2000s. With the Smoak brand she has already built a diverse lifestyle empire — Smoak Cosmetics, Smoak Intimates, Smoak Productions — and her foray into women's pleasure products is the boldest expression yet of a woman who has never been shy about owning her sexuality on her own terms.
Product Range and Innovation
-
The Rose — Suction Clitoral Stimulator
: The flagship launch product, The Rose (CG-SHMO-001), taps into one of the most talked-about product categories in modern sexual wellness. The rose-shaped suction stimulator became a cultural phenomenon through social media virality, celebrated for its ability to deliver intense, contactless clitoral pleasure through pulsating air-pressure waves — no direct vibration required. Smoak's version brings that proven form factor into the celebrity-licensed space, pairing a universally recognizable design with Shanna's personal brand stamp.-
Aspirational Accessibility
: Celebrity-licensed lines can skew toward high price points that limit reach. Smoak by Shanna Moakler is positioned as accessible-premium — sophisticated enough to feel like a deliberate gift or self-care purchase, yet priced so that her broad fanbase can actually buy it. This balance reflects Cousins Group's decades of experience navigating the mid-market adult category.-
Personality-Driven Design
: Everything about the line — from the "Smoak" name to the rose motif — reflects Shanna's aesthetic: bold, feminine, unapologetically confident. The rose is not merely a product shape; it is a symbol of sensuality, self-worth, and pleasure on your own terms, values Shanna has embodied throughout a public career spanning pageants, Playboy, and reality television.

Cultural Relevance of The Rose Category

Future Prospects and Brand Expansion
-
Line Extensions
: A single hero product is a proven launch strategy for celebrity lines. If The Rose performs, Cousins Group and Moakler have a natural roadmap: additional stimulator formats, dual-function vibrators, intimate wellness accessories, and perhaps Smoak-branded lubricants or care products that round out the lifestyle offering.-
Brand Synergy
: Smoak by Shanna Moakler sits alongside her other ventures — Smoak Cosmetics, Smoak Intimates, and Smoak Wellness — as part of a coherent personal brand built around feminine confidence and self-expression. Each line reinforces the others, and the adult toy entry adds the most candid statement of all: that pleasure is just another dimension of the full, self-owned life Shanna represents.-
Growing Mainstream Acceptance
: Celebrity-backed pleasure products are moving from novelty to norm. As more high-profile names enter the space, early movers like Smoak by Shanna Moakler benefit from the association with mainstream cultural legitimacy — especially for consumers who might feel more comfortable with a familiar face guiding their first adult toy purchase.Smoak by Shanna Moakler is what happens when a woman who has spent three decades in the public eye — from the Miss USA stage to the pages of Playboy to MTV reality television — decides to put her name on something she actually believes in.
