5 Progressive Sex Positive Companies

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CU Boulder chapter.

Let’s talk about sex! Don’t fret, seriously, this won’t be uncomfortable. Well, it’s only weird if you make it weird so let’s agree on something. Talking about sex isn’t weird! Being able to express your sexuality is actually you owning your body and your journey to pleasure. Who wouldn’t want to be proud of that? It can be hard, though, for some people to talk about their own sexuality when they aren’t in touch with their own bodies. The human body is a wild thing and it’s capable of even crazier things. Like most things in life, if you want to succeed in a subject, you have to learn more about it. You have to do your research, try out a couple of different methods, work out some kinks, and voila! Take this sort of trial and error method and apply it on your sexual journey. I believe this is something all people should experiment with because uh hello? How can you expect anyone else to be able to work your body if you don’t even know how to? Check out these five sexually positive and encouraging companies that can help take your sexual journey to the next level. 

Lioness

This brand’s mission can be described as practice makes perfect. Founded by women to help women and those with vaginas to perfect their orgasm. You can order these vibrators online, try them out, download their app, and see how your body talks! The Lioness app tracks the user’s pelvic floor movement, which is a huge indicator of your body’s arousal levels. 

“When you sync the Lioness to your app, it displays the information in an easy-to-read chart to see how your arousal and orgasms may be changing over time,” said Lioness’ Team. The app also shows users how different life factors can affect an individual’s orgasm. Some of these include mood, stress, alcohol, levels, substance intake, etc! 

The app is free and this orgasm operator of a vibrator retails online at $229 with free delivery in discreet packaging. So there’s no shame in your orgasm game!

Babeland

A rather famous sex shop in Babeland. Founded by two feminists who preached to the world that female sexual liberation is an instrumental part of feminism. This store has four in-person shops, and also caters to an online audience. Community is a core value for this brand, they hold informational sessions and workshops to help promote the greater good for all things orgasmic.

 Babeland’s mission statement further proves this point: “…to promote and celebrate sexual vitality by providing an honest, open and fun environment; encouraging personal empowerment, community education, and support for a more passionate world are key.” 

They have every color, model, size, mode of sex toy a person could want. Their cheapest beginner vibrator retails just at $29.95, a steal. Head online and check out their empowering colorful company!

Shagg Box

Treat yourself, don’t cheat yourself! Shagg Box is a local to Boulder, Colorado (don’t you just love an organization that promotes good sexual health and experiences right in your backyard?). They’re a subscription-based company that sends seasonal packages every three months. Every box contains seven to ten items that will spice up your time in the bedroom. Whether you’re by yourself or working with a partner, Shagg Box has got you covered! Shagg Box also donates 10% of ALL their sales to the MESA Group, the city of Boulder’s only rape crisis center, so you know you’re donating to a worthy cause. Give yourself some love and check on their online catalog! 

Lovability

Lovability is a company that has taken and crushed the narrative that only boys can carry condoms. These super cute, self-love promoting, #GIRLPWR designed condoms and other products will have you wanting to buy them even if you aren’t having sex. Their mission statement encourages self-worth before giving yourself away to someone. “We believe that “safe sex” starts way before you grab a condom, but rather it begins with knowing your value and potential.” Putting their mission into action, they also proudly support the Yellow Hammer Fund, which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to meet the needs of those living in or traveling to Alabama for reproductive healthcare needs. Focus on your power and your pleasure by checking out their super aesthetically pleasing online catalog. 

Unbound Babes

This galactic themed sexual space odyssey was founded in 2012 and has grown astronomically(no pun intended) since. Founded by two women, who decided to put female sexuality on society’s radar. Since then, they’ve created a safe space for women to learn more about their own sexuality through exploration and sexual wellness products. The two founders encourage women and those who identify as women to become a bit more unbound in their own sexual journeys by going with the flow and promoting the greater good for their bodies. Unbound Babes has taken the taboo nature out of sexual conversations and flipped the switch to a more empowering light. Their galactic exploration aesthetic is as cute and Colorado as they come! Their rewards club is even appropriately named “Area 69”. We absolutely stan marketing consistency! Join the mothership by checking out their toys and enhancers that range from dildos and plugs to handcuffs and condoms! 

These sites all have deals and coupons currently so make the most of these deals and steals. After reading this, I hope you’re feeling more confident and at ease with talking about sex; female pleasure doesn’t have to be a societal taboo. These companies are hard at work to help switch up the narrative for all of us women and those who identify as female. Your potential and self-worth should only feel like it’s being lifted when it comes to sexuality.
