The fact of the matter is, we are seeing more and more brands dedicating their attention to vulva care (and beauty), and that has brought this often overlooked area front and center.
Hey, no one said we're low maintenance. All joking aside, though, we did want to compile a list of products we would need should we find ourselves: 1) in an unexpected, getting-ready-to-go-out disaster, or in a less dramatic, but panic-provoking nonetheless, issue of being late; and 2) having a long, late night.

You've had too many first dates to count. Your thumb is getting sore from too much swiping. Your online dating skills are honed to perfection — you're nobody's fool, because you've been at it for years.
Given the fact that birth control methods have been around since the dawn of time (seriously, condoms made from animal-derived materials were first used around 3,000 B.C.) and many of the modern methods of pregnancy prevention, such as the birth control pill, have been used since the early 1960s, you'd think we'd have a solid understanding of how they work. But, like many other things involving the female body, birth control is still surrounded by an air of mystery, even by those who've been using it for decades.
Even if you are mostly satisfied with your sex life, an influx of smart technology in sex toys has made it easier to supercharge your orgasm. From traditional devices that now offer a vast variety of different speeds and settings to travel-friendly sizes that make pleasure-on-the-go less stressful than boarding a flight, it's no longer a faux pas to tinker around in the bedroom. In fact, it's encouraged by experts who desire to inspire a new generation of sex-positive lovers.
It's that time of year again: time to make all those New Year's resolutions you don't even plan on keeping. You know the ones: losing weight, de-stressing, making your health a priority.
Sex is a funny and sometimes complicated thing. It's arguably one of life's greatest thrills, which perhaps explains why sex — the mind-blowing kind, anyway — can also be so damn elusive. Sometimes, everything's there but the chemistry. Other times, the flame fizzles and sex becomes a chore. At some point in our lives, we've all asked ourselves where the hell our hot, steamy sex life went — or, why has it never been there in the first place?
Have you ever read one of those lovey-dovey "birthday for him" greeting cards at the drugstore and shuddered so hard that you melted into a hot puddle of shame on the vinyl floor? Neither have we, but we've gotten close. But, sometimes, we come across relationship quotes for her and him that perfectly articulate the experience of loving and togetherness.
