Flowers and chocolate are always a good idea, and we will NEVER tell otherwise! But once the chocolates are eaten and the flowers have blossomed, we would like to keep the love (and self-love!) vibe alive a bit longer! So, we have listed 4 self-love ideas to make this Valentine’s day a long-lasting one!
"Smile Makers’s vibrators allow us to normalize the perception of female sexuality"
"A daring (...) project, but with a taboo-breaking underlying idea"
"...created for women
who shun sex shops.'
"The product that knows
your body best."
“Who doesn’t dream of
getting into bed
with a hot fireman?”
“Smile Makers
– the name
says it all!”
“
Very cute products
”
"We are talking more and more often about sexuality but (...) with a certain level of embarrassment. Especially when we talk about women and their pleasure..."
“Women should not be afraid about taking pleasure. It can bring happiness, well being, it’s an important part of everyone’s life"
"The project is so great, in part because it embraces and celebrates female masturbation. And there are certainly a lot of smiles."
"It's 2017, and for some reason, female sexuality is still a highly taboo topic in many circles. "
“4 icons of male
sexiness made into
beautiful sex toys.”
“The latest vibrators have a design
personality all of their own.
Anyone for tennis?”
“Sex toys are a day-to-day
essential that should be purchased free from shame and stigma.”
"When approaching the taboo subject sex with humour, people open up and share their opinions more freely"
“News of the project has excited women from all walks of life(...)”
