🔥 THIS WEEK IN SEXTECH
🍓 BerryLemon Empowers Older Women by Redefining Sexuality and Wellness
💗 Lovehoney Integrates NHS Healthcare via Evaro Digital Health Platform
🎮💄 Julia Fox and Kourtney Kardashian Star in Lemme Play’s Retro-Inspired Wellness Campaign
💕 Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd Returns with New Vision to Revive Dating Apps
🍓 BerryLemon Empowers Older Women by Redefining Sexuality and Wellness
The menopause and perimenopause bracket are exploding with supplement brands, online communities and telehealth services to combat uncomfortable symptoms. These companies also entering the sexual wellness category, with academic research supporting ideas around toys such as vibrators having a positive impact on sexual function and mental wellbeing.
Bustle covered one such brand, BerryLemon, below.👇
💗 Lovehoney Integrates NHS Healthcare and launches Prescriptions
Lovehoney Prescriptions, is available to its UK users as of today and means it becomes the first retailer to offer a fully online NHS funded contraception service, free of charge, with no need to visit a pharmacy or GP in person.
🎮💄 Kardashian enters intimacy supplements market
Kourtney Kardashian Barker has moved into the sexual wellness category with a libido-boosting gummy designed to support blood flow, energy, and mood as part of her brand, Lemme. The launch was supported by a campaign featuring a retro glam Julia Fox.
💕 Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd Returns with New Vision to Revive Dating Apps
Whitney Wolfe Herd has returned as the CEO of Bumble and is ready to lead it as a love company. She had some great insights about what's shifted (and what has stayed the same) in this NYT interview, which was also a two-part podcast on The Interview.
I think the reason Gen Z has abandoned the apps is because they’re getting on the apps and they’re not seeing who they want to see and they’re feeling two things, which I take full accountability for at Bumble. They’re feeling rejected and they’re feeling judged.
