This suction vibrator is clitorally-inclusive to accommodate all bodies

3 Apr

Clitorises come in all different shapes and sizes. Just as there is no such thing as the perfect vulva, the idea of a “normal” clit is a myth – it’s just not a one size fits all situation down there. It’s with this in mind that sex toy company Smile Makers has created its new vibrator, The Poet.

Moody Month: the app designed to assist women higher

For hundreds of years, there was a stigma surrounding periods: from 73 AD when the primary Latin encyclopedia implied that contact with menstrual blood would mean “crops turn into barren”, “fruit of trees fall off” and “hives of bees die”, to the current day where tampon tax still stubbornly stays casting tampons into the category of “luxury.” Periods are still in lots of cases a taboo, so Moody Month is here to vary that.

The Fat Zine, a publication founded by photographer and artist Chloe Sheppard and author Gina Tonic, has released a calendar celebrating fat-positivity.
