Man ignored this despite having highest upvotes 😂

NGL, you had me till “How big is your”

@MasculineIntervenor we're almost 55 people now! I've typed out how we came up with this idea in another answer, wo dekh lena pls

@jinyang thankfully my parents were pretty chill about it, all of our parents actually. I was working in Chennai and my parents were visiting for a wedding when I told them and their first question was if I was going to do this part time to quit my well paying job lol

+1 would love to know this

@WretchedCreativity we have a crazy idea which we're in the process of creating - ofc can't reveal it right now xD

@jake_peralta_B99

1. We were working on a hyperlocal startup called Remedi, sometime in 2014ish. When we were doing that, almost 25-30% of our orders were for sexual wellness products. While that didn't work out, when we started thinking about problem statements to solve, we explored this first and spoke to a lot of andrologists who told us how many people have faced some sexual health issue in their life.

We just built around it and here we are!

2. We started with men's sexual wellness because it would've been easier to build a brand because we will be able to think of brand positioning POVs quickly. What messaging, what brand tonality would work, all of that would be a lot simpler for us. Solving for men is a tougher problem statement to solve for, primarily because men don't openly talk about a lot of issues that they're going through.

3. There's too many problems that need to be solved and they're all top priority xD And the fact that there are so many problems to solve that excites me the most, each problem solved is a dopamine hit.

4. Collective Artists Network played a huge role in making in happen, we were in touch with them to explore this route and they facilitated the entire conversation. Working with Ranveer was a slam dunk because he vibed perfectly with the vision we had for the brand and for the issues we were trying to solve.

1. Would you consider expanding to self pleasure products soon? Considering that it may potentially have a wider demographic reach? We haven't really thought about expanding to self pleasure products yet. I think a few brands in the space are doing a very good job, and the opportunity is massive.

2. What are your thoughts on MyMuse? I have found their offerings to appeal to a different audience than yours but I feel the space a quite similar. I really like MyMuse's branding and content, they've been able to build a nice community on Instagram with educational and fun content.

@Rhombus they were suprisingly chill, maybe because they were just happy I was doing something that I was passionate about!

@MomSaidNo you're absolutely right, this space needs a legit, reliable, and trustworthy brand. To that end, we ensure that in all advertising, we stay away from misleading claims. We could've easily launched a product that doesn't work but promises to make the penis bigger and sold a ton of it, but that wouldn't really work. Not making claims like this is the first step imo.

None of our packaging will ever have crass, sleazy, or graphic imagery - I think this is another factor that inspires enough confidence for someone to try out the products. Once they try the products - it works for them, and they stick around :)

@Neo69 Grapevine moderators will have to ban me

@backhand Thank you! I love the disposal bag too, makes it so easy!
