Celebrating female entrepreneurs changing the pleasure industry.

The pleasure industry has long been dominated by products designed for women but not by women. Thankfully, that’s changing. A wave of female-founded brands is reshaping the landscape, centering innovation, inclusivity, and real pleasure. These brands aren’t just about selling sex toys—they’re about changing the conversation around sexual wellness.

March is International Women’s Month, so in celebrating women, here are five women-led brands that are making waves (and orgasms) with their game-changing designs:

Chakrubs – The Art of Crystal Pleasure

For those who love a bit of ritual with their pleasure, Chakrubs is the go-to brand. Founded by Vanessa Cuccia, Chakrubs creates handcrafted crystal pleasure tools that blend sexual wellness with energy healing. Whether you’re drawn to the deep grounding of the Xaga Root (obsidian) or the heart-opening vibes of a rose quartz wand, these toys encourage mindful pleasure and self-connection.

Dame Products – Science-Backed, Pleasure-Driven

Dame is on a mission to close the pleasure gap, and they’re doing it with smart, user-tested toys that actually work. Co-founded by Alexandra Fine, Dame puts research and real feedback at the core of its design process. Their toys—like the suction-powered Aer and the versatile Eva—are built to enhance pleasure without overcomplicating things. Plus, they’re big on sexual wellness education, making sure their products come with the knowledge to match.

Puissante – French Elegance Meets Sexual Empowerment

Founded by Marie Comacle, Puissante is all about empowering women through pleasure with sleek, thoughtfully designed toys that prioritize both function and aesthetics. With products like Coco—a beautifully crafted suction toy—Puissante is redefining luxury in the pleasure space while making sure everyone has access to self-exploration without shame or stigma

Unbound Babes – Bold, Playful, and Unapologetic

Unbound Babes is a brand that knows pleasure is political. Founded by Polly Rodriguez, Unbound is all about breaking down stigma and making sex toys fun. With bold designs and cheeky marketing, they make it clear that pleasure should be as normal as your morning coffee. Their products—like the Puff (a powerful air-pulsation toy) and Nudge (a dual-purpose internal/external vibrator)—bring playfulness into the bedroom in the best way.

OhNut – Pleasure Without Pain

Pain during penetration is a reality for many people, and OhNut was created to change that. Founded by Emily Sauer, OhNut is a wearable buffer ring designed to make penetration more comfortable while still feeling connected. It's a simple but revolutionary idea—adjustable, body-safe, and made with comfort in mind. OhNut is proof that pleasure should never come with compromise.

These brands are proof that when women design for women, the results are powerful, inclusive, and deeply satisfying. Investing in female-founded pleasure brands isn’t just about great orgasms—it’s about supporting a future where sexual wellness is accessible, shame-free, and actually centred on your needs.
