Join us as we talk about sexual wellness with Wendy Rose Berry and Eugenia Marshall, co-founders of conditionHER, Frances Tang, founder of Awkward Essentials, and Melanie Cristol, founder of Lorals.

conditionHER:

Wendy Rose Berry and Eugenia Marshall are LA based “employed entrepreneurs,” mothers, and besties both juggling and balancing demanding corporate jobs and running their own intimate skincare brand as co-founders of conditionHER. This natural daily-use moisturizing cream is scientifically formulated for external intimate areas, such as the vulva (external genitalia), inner thighs and underarms. Their proprietary formula provides an all-in-one blend to help reduce the appearance of ingrown hair and razor burn, soothe irritation from chafing, nourish skin and soften hair “if present,” without disrupting healthy vaginal flora and pH levels.

conditionHER's unique combination of safe, soft, and effective ingredients includes Cotton Oil, Chamomile Extract, Shea Butter and Olive Oil, each selected for their broad range of benefits. The formula is unscented, non-greasy and great for sensitive skin! conditionHER is a Black woman-owned business, operated by a diverse all-women team, including the biochemist and packaging designer.

Awkward Essentials:

Frances Tang is the Founder and CEO of Awkward Essentials, an innovative personal hygiene company best-known for its marquee product, the dripstick, that makes post-sex cleanup a piece of cake. Frances grew up in the Bay Area and always assumed that she would someday go to college, get a job in a glass office building, and take the ‘normal’ route. Initially she did just that, finding a job in corporate marketing that paid the bills but left her feeling uninspired. Dissatisfied with the amount of convenient solutions for post-sex cleanup on the market, Frances was determined to create a product that would replace the sacrifical sex towel many of us know all too well. She committed herself to creating a safe, easy-to-use product that would absorb fluids post-sex. After dozens of iterations, the solution took the form of a small sponge with a handle. Insert the sponge in the vagina, swirl it around to absorb everything, and remove—the dripstick was born. She is now on a mission to expand Awkward Essentials’ product portfolio to include more products you never knew you needed that will seriously upgrade your post-sex hygiene regimen.

Lorals:

Melanie Cristol is the founder & CEO of Brazen Goods, a sexual wellness company that helps people across the world have more frequent — and more pleasurable — intimate experiences. She is also the inventor of Brazen Goods’ inaugural product Lorals: ultra-thin latex panties for comfort and pleasure during intimacy. Prior to creating and patenting Lorals, Melanie graduated from Columbia Law School and practiced at the international firm O’Melveny & Myers LLP, where she represented consumer-products, healthcare, and technology companies. Melanie was also part of the legal team that secured gay marriage rights for the western United States. Melanie and Lorals have been featured in the New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Fast Company, Autostraddle, Playboy, the American Lawyer, and other publications worldwide.
