Proudly South African ‘Please’ Sex Store & Platform Launches Online
As the South African landscape develops as more expressive sexual community, local company Please has launched with an aim to be a space for every body to feel good, whether you’re more prude or a ‘just send nudes’ type of person.
Whether you want to shop or simply get acquainted with the company’s handpicked selection of premium sex toys, enhancers and intimates from the world’s best brands, Please wants everyone to feel secure and confident on their platform.
“We’re for sexual wellness and having the space to embrace your sexual desires openly and positively,” explains the brand. “Our ultimate goal is to create a community for anyone from anywhere to feel safe and excited while shopping for their most intimate products.”
Please understands that shopping for a sex toy or any intimate products can be overwhelming for first-timers and even those familiar with the industry, which is why the store curates and features items specifically catered for unique needs.
Please features 4 key international brands, along with their own, and has specifically targeted these brands as they share the philosophy of having products and businesses rooted in sexual well being, not purely selling products. They include:
Unbound — a mighty team who have fought the Metropolitan Transportation Authority over sexism in subway ads, and sent thousands of vibrators to members of congress in support of reproductive health. Unbound makes some of the most beautiful, body safe vibes and accessories in the industry.
Unbound believes that whether you’re just starting to explore or you’re a seasoned expert, you deserve pleasure and an unapologetic community of babes to revel in it with. The best part is, you don’t even have to leave your bed to be a part of it.
Ohnut — The Ohnut team’s goal is to highlight that your bedroom should be a place of joy, rather than one of pain. Their mission is to change the conversation about discomfort during sex, with a mission-driven wearable that customises penetration depth. Ohnut partnered with renowned sexual medicine clinicians, holistic practitioners, and countless empathetic humans to create a product that helps make simple physical adjustments in order to better enjoy pleasure.
Dame is a women-powered source for products for pleasure, designed to nourish sexual wellness and deepen connections. Founded by a sexologist from Columbia University and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) engineer whose mission is to close the Pleasure Gap — specifically, the disparity in satisfaction that women experience in the bedroom, versus their male counterparts. Dame products are engineered with feedback from Dame Labs, their community of over 10,000 real humans.
Chakrubs are sex toys made from natural crystal that bring a sense of sacredness to your playtime. These beautiful, hand-crafted tools are created with the intention of opening oneself up to the healing properties that the crystals provide. “Crystals have perfect molecular structures that have positive effects on our electro-magnetic fields. When our energetic bodies are at ease, we are at ease, we are open to healing, to peace, to love, to all of life’s pleasures,” explains the brand.
And of course, Please itself has created its first range of products including a lubricant, massage oil, massage candle, scented candle and toy cleaner. “Over the years, we struggled to find the perfect intimacy products for foreplay, leading us to produce our own.”
All of the Please products are made here in South Africa, giving a local flair to the industry often dominated by international brands.
