The sexual wellness industry has really grown and evolved in the past couple of years. I think a lot of that is due to the fact that there are so many cool and inspiring brands that are trying to make sex less of a taboo subject these days. Many people are being more honest about sex, relationships, and self-love. Even celebrities are jumping on the sexual wellness train. In fact, Cara Delevingne is now the co-owner and creative advisor of Lora DiCarlo, and Dakota Johnson joined Maude as co-creative director and investor.
Dame Products CEO Alexandra Fine told us in another piece that people are beginning to see how sexual pleasure and pleasure products are part of our general health and wellness experience. Sexual wellness affects other parts of our health.
"The sex industry is on a swing from a male-centric vice industry to a femme-led wellness industry, and that's a pretty big change," she said. "Sex is also becoming a more public part of everyday conversation, which helps shed light on high-quality products within the industry. We're seeing a more open discussion in pop culture as well, which helps validate and sanction products that were once shamed. Beyond that, the rise of technological advancements in the space continues to demonstrate that these products are just as sophisticated and thoughtfully made as those in any other category."
It's a very exciting time in this space. As we look forward to the industry growing even more, we wanted to highlight some of our favorite sexual wellness products at the moment below. If you have a product you want to recommend, send us a DM or comment on Instagram.

Womaness is a brand co-founded by Who What Wear and THE/THIRTY alum Sally Mueller. The product lineup consists of modern menopause products, from skin and bodycare items to feminine care and sexual health products. Even if you're not going through menopause, you can still use the products if you're experiencing symptoms like vaginal dryness. Daily V Soothe combats that exact condition. You can use it whenever you need it and to prep for intimacy.
