Sexual health is a core part of our overall health and wellbeing. To take proper care of it, you must begin to pay attention to your body, understand what it needs, and also find products that will help you feel and be at your best. This could look like buying organic pads, using products that will reduce your chance of getting yeast infections, or doing a yoni steam periodically to regulate your hormones. Everyone’s sexual health looks different, so it’s imperative you find what works for you.
Luckily, there are tons of excellent entrepreneurs who are in the business of problem solving. Many are dedicating their time and skills to creating products that can help us maintain good sexual health.
As always, we love to support Black-owned businesses doing their thing. So on that note, all of the products mentioned below are created by people in our community, so feel free to whip out your card and buy a product — or all of them.
