Why we love them
We love Smile Makers because they have a strong focus on removing the stigma around female sexual wellness, and re-educating the world. They have, and continue to make, big strides forward in the open and ever-changing conversation around female pleasure, and they make a point to build a purposefully diverse team to represent the world in which we live, with 75% of them being female. Smile Makers even created their own sex education program called Vulva Talks, focused on pleasure for people with vulvas, which is free on their website to ensure accessibility. Lastly, they work with manufacturing partners certified by SMETA (an ethical trade-audit), and partner with local advocates for live events, student associations, and other organizations such as UN Population Fund, UN Women, and more. While they know there are strides to be made, they have made a commitment to update all packaging to FSC material by 2025, and have begun their move towards more eco-friendly products with their biodegradable and organic wipes.
