Our Story

Our Origin: Born in a Pandemic for Sexual Happiness

A few months into the COVID-19 lockdown, many people's personal life deeply impacted by changes in domestic, work, social, and leisure habits. Research from universities in Manchester, Nottingham, and East Anglia showed that one in five couples reported their relationships got worse during lockdown. And for singles, the pandemic brought on loneliness, anxiety, and a whole lot of stress, throwing their social and romantic lives out of whack.

We All Needed a Boost

With almost everyone feeling down, it was clear we needed something to help boost our mental and emotional well-being. That’s when we stumbled upon a research article from Oxford Academic. It highlighted how sex toys play a significant role in enhancing sexual wellness by improving sexual pleasure, supporting sexual health, reducing stress, promoting self-exploration, and fostering better communication and intimacy in relationships. Sex toys are a safe way to keep sexual satisfaction alive without the risks of physical intimacy. Perfect for couples looking to spice things up and singles wanting to explore.

The Positive Impact of Sex Toys

Sex toys have proven to be game-changers for many, keeping the passion alive and improving relationship satisfaction. They also reduce anxiety, improve mood, and foster a sense of independence and emotional comfort, helping to ease loneliness and social isolation.
