Do you resolve every January to become a better, more giving person? How about instead we all decide to be a little more selfish - in the bedroom in 2023? 

As women, we are often led to believe that there is something wrong with talking about sex, wanting it, and even doing it. We are here to empower women to feel good about their sex lives. Sex affects our whole physical, emotional, and social wellbeing - so it's kinda important.

Go ahead -find your joy! Making time to nurture yourself is so important. Just like yoga, meditation, or reading, even a bubble bath, massage, or sleeping - solo pleasure - also known as masturbation, is self-care. For whatever reason – and the reasons are a’plenty, we either don’t do ‘it’ or indulge in it often enough. If you are looking for permission to masturbate - here it is. 

There are so many different products in the sex toy market that it is hard not to feel intimidated. Once you’re acquainted with the different kinds of sex toys - or pleasure products, as we refer to them, life gets much easier - and sex gets much more pleasurable. 

.....Research shows that using a vibrator increases blood flow to the vulva and vagina. Translation? More sensation, better arousal, and improved sexual wellness overall. Blood flow is your friend.

And let’s clear something up while we’re here: masturbation isn’t just “nice”—it’s beneficial. Regular self-pleasure supports vaginal elasticity and lubrication, and the more often you orgasm, the easier orgasms tend to come. That’s just biology doing its thing.

 

Intimate Wellbeing is a site created for women to feel empowered about their sexual health. It’s an online company that Okanagan co-founders Cassandra Redding and Leah Fischer created because they couldn’t find a sexual wellness site that resonated with women in their age and demographic (40+) - and they couldn't find a credible site that had the answers to the questions they were asking. 

Women's sexual wellness and satisfaction is becoming the talk of the town. Here are some great articles we've read and think are worth sharing.

Each lunar cycle (moon phase) affects your energy, sleep, menstrual cycle, and libido. During a full moon feelings are heightened as the gravitational pull increases.

Forget an apple a day - it’s all about the O (orgasm). Incorporating self-pleasure into your daily routine should be a priority.

At Intimate Wellbeing, we believe that sexual wellness begins with using the right terms for our anatomical parts. The clitoris is the female's most sensitive erogenous zone - it pretty much exists to make women feel good.

Whether traveling for business or pleasure, packing your essentials should include your pleasure devices and favourite lube. Here are a few tips:

Knowledge is power. A huge number of women - 73% - don’t technically know what a vulva is, according to research. At Intimate Wellbeing, we believe it's important to know your body, so you can communicate your needs.

The clitoris has many names - we have heard the Bean, Small Happy Button, Power House of Pleasure, Rosebud, Joybuzzer, Cherry Pit, Love Button, and chickpea - the names are endless, and the legacy is remarkable. This magical, female erogenous organ has the sole purpose of providing pleasure.
