About Us
How it all started...
Raised in Dayton, Ohio as an Indian-American I had my first condom buying experience when I was 17. In my culture it's taboo to talk about sex let alone having it, so I ran into the store, picked up the first one that didn’t look obvious, and quickly got out of there.
As I got older, my sex life evolved but what I used back then hadn’t changed. Brands didn’t offer healthy or modernized options and they were often gender-binary focused, further enabling taboos and stereotypes around the category.
After receiving my Master’s in Public Health and experiencing an unfortunate condom incident that caused my girlfriend to have a health scare, I decided to bridge my healthcare knowledge with my own experiences to create a brand that focuses on developing healthier, higher quality, and inclusive sexual wellness products for every phase of your intimacy experience.
