Men make up roughly 25% of our customers. That is why today's article is dedicated to them. Well, to you! We are happy to see you not only in our ordering system, but also in the showroom Whoop·de·doo on Letná. Behind their doors, a "lovely paradox" awaits you in the form of Jindřich, who helps our visitors with the selection of intimate aids.
The ladies who call us are sometimes unpleasantly surprised. It is often embarrassing for them to discuss the strength of menstruation or the condition of the pelvic floor with a man. For men, on the other hand, Jindřich is a welcome ally in the world of sexual well-being.
Jindřich is 39 years old and has been working for us for six months. In addition to Whoop·de·doo, he makes custom neon signs and makes a clockwork husband. He came to us from Shop Up Stories in Vinohrady, a "shop for MILFs", as he jokingly says. There he recommended clothes and cosmetics, so the shift to vibrators, balls and spheres was not completely shocking to him.
During those six months, Jindřich had about a hundred male customers pass through his hands (plus his ear and inbox). They differ in most features, but one desire unites them. They want to make happy, to cause pleasure, to please with a long-lasting gift. But sometimes they are mistaken. What do they most often - and unnecessarily - complicate their lives with? Together with Jindřich, we selected five myths that accompany the purchase of intimate aids. We serve them in its unique point of view.
1. The best gifts are surprises.
I wouldn't be afraid of that with flowers. If you buy her tulips instead of roses (and it's not after twenty years of marriage), she will calmly explain it to you. The puget will wither in a few days and you will hit the next time. But our experience of intimacy is also accompanied by an inevitable dose of insecurity, which - combined with inept communication - results in bitter disappointment.
I remember the gentleman who bought from us Venus balls. He left with the look of a winner. But two days later he called us with an unequivocal request: I want it back immediately. From that tone, I could clearly sense that the angry partner was sitting next to him. I suppose he gave his gift at the wrong moment, perhaps silently with a sly smile. And the woman saw a painful message in the gift: "I'm not narrow enough. He's telling me to take care of myself." A sexy accessory suddenly became an unusual gift. Similar to a teleshopping abdominal exercise machine.
My advice? Discuss your purchase intention before you come to us. The relationship is definitely not going to get ruined because of asking something. Explore ways to expand intimacy together. P.S.: If you insist on a surprise, but are afraid of a similar mistake, go for a gift voucher instead.
2. Venus balls are a health aid. They won’t spice up our sex life.
Balls are like dumbbells for the pelvic floor. They do not bring pleasure to a woman instantly, that is absolutely true. But they increase libido, contribute to a more intense sexual experience and sensitize the vaginal walls. We have consulted with a number of doctors and other experts on their development, so we unwaveringly stand by their functionality.
It is a well-being investment with a direct impact on sex-life, which will pay back in a matter of months. The prerequisite is, of course, the regular use of balls. As part of our e-book How to get a pelvic floor , we have therefore developed a detailed monthly plan that will help women with discipline. In addition, it focuses in detail on the use of balls during pregnancy, after childbirth or perhaps during transition. Together with the "dumbbells", you also give your conscious support in crucial moments of life.
3. A vibrator seems like a rather impersonal gift.
Because everyone likes food and sex, you see? In a way, it's a safe bet. And I totally agree that some vibrators seem really vulgar. But ours is minimalistic and gentle. When your cleaning lady or child sees it, it won't be a trauma for them 🙂
The biggest gem is ours vibrator with a personal message. Your texting will make it a unique specimen that has no duplicate in the world. And she'll keep an eye on him. This is just a steamer better than a message in a paper card!
4. I don’t know which weight of Venus balls to choose.
And thirdly, balls again. I can't deprive you of this "aha moment" and catch. We offer Venus balls in three variants: red Light, white Classic, black Noir. But they differ in weight, not dimensions. The diameter of the outer balls is 32 millimeters in all cases.
And how to choose according to weight? Try our guide for both beginners and advanced. Or me directly in the showroom.
5. I don’t want to buy her a menstrual cup. I’m not getting involved with her period products.
When a man is interested in menstrual supplies, it doesn't mean he's intruding unprompted on her personal choices about her body. To me, this is proof that she understands that menstruation is a natural part of life that has been with us since prehistoric times. And those who want to take care of their partner are looking for a comfortable and elegant solution with her. Ultimately, it’s not about the product; it’s about the attitude. About not being afraid to say: I care about how you feel. During the whole month.
Sometimes customers are confused about how to menstrual cup take care of. One lady boiled it on the stove, but forgot about it. The water evaporated and the cup stuck to the saucepan, so we decided together whether it was still safe to use. Girls, just fill the cup with hot water. But when it comes to cooking, don't worry. The melting point of our cup is 120°C, it can withstand a lot. Just don't fry it in a pan, please!
We hope our article has inspired you. If you want to touch our products (or buy them), Jindřich will be happy to welcome you to our showroom at Kamenická 37, Prague 7. We are open from Monday to Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can also pick up your online order here. We look forward to seeing you!
