LOS ANGELES — A collective of Southern California female OB/GYNs has created Intimate Wellness Shop, an online marketplace intended to “take away the stigma associated with intimate care and offer solutions that couldn’t be provided with traditional options like prescription medications.”
Intimate Wellness Shop offers a range of intimate care products and brands for women, all curated by doctors. Intimate Wellness Shop also aspires to foster a community with its “V News” blog that focuses on intimate issues, and encourages women to support one another, share their experiences, learn and move forward with confidence.
“We are powered by women to create a movement and community where intimate care products aren’t a hushed subject or something to be embarrassed about,” say Intimate Wellness Shop founders Dr. Janet Williams, M.D., OBGYN, and Dr. Amy Jones, D.O., OBGYN.
The e-tailer offers a wide breadth of products for categories such as: Relief for menstrual cramps, menopause and fertility; Maintenance Care such as cleansing, pelvic tone and supplements; and Intimate Play learning, protection and toys.
Intimate products for men are available as well, with a selection for cleansing, condoms, deodorizing, moisturizing, shaving and supplements. Prices range from $6-200. Intimate Wellness Shop also has a customer loyalty program that rewards points for every dollar spent, and rewards and discounts for points earned and referral signups.
“In my years of experience I’ve seen patients with a wide range of complaints, from severe menstrual cramps to pregnancy discomfort to a myriad of menopausal symptoms,” says Dr. Valerie Greco, M.D., OBGYN. “I’m so relieved to now have one comprehensive resource where I can refer my patients for trusted products to treat any and all of these issues.”
Intimate Wellness Shop’s collective of curators seek brands that are reputable, unique and progressive, as well as eco-friendly, organic and natural products. Among the e-tailer’s offerings are Ladysuite rejuvenating botanical oil for intimate skin, Nipples silicone nipple cover, Coconu coconut oil-based organic personal lubricant, Dame Eva II hands-free vibrator and Revactin erectile dysfunction supplement to Earth Mama organic herbal sitz bath, Glyde Ultra Thin Vegan Condoms, Fur’s Fur Oil and books such as “The Penis Book” and “The Complete A to Z for Your V,” authored by Aaron Spitz, MD and Alyssa Dweck, MD and Robin Westen, respectively.
"Many of the couples I see are looking for easily accessible products to help in their intimate life and fertility journeys,” says Dr. Shahin Ghadir, M.D., F.A.C.O.G. “The Intimate Wellness Shop is a beautiful resource for just that. With a wide selection of interesting products, they provide unique solutions to common personal concerns."
According to Williams and Jones, “It’s very simple — intimate wellness should bring joy, and not be a struggle for women or men.”
