It's High Time We Break The Cycle

Historically, products created for vaginal health and sexual wellness have not been designed to take sustainable, proactive, self-care into account.

We can all agree that lube is a godsend, but the most widely available are glycerin-based and (because bacteria/fungus feed on the sugar in glycerin) can lead to UTIs. The antibiotics you have to take for your UTI wipe out all the “good bacteria” with the bad, leaving you at heightened risk of getting a yeast infection. Over-the-counter medication is relatively accessible and effective, but those suppositories will leave your vag drier than the Sahara, sending you right back to the lube that got you here in the first place. Woof.

The cycle is not working. We deserve more.
This is where Quim was born.

What They're Sayin About Quim◦
  • "Cannabis has always been amazing sex medicine for me– I love the way Quim delivers localized sensation for increased libido and more consistent climax. Yes please!"
  • "It was like spreading my legs on the beach and letting my lady bits bask in the sun. I had to ask my partner to go slowly during stimulation, which made foreplay particularly sensual. There was more warmth down there, perhaps due to increased blood flow."
  • "It felt like my vagina had NO RULES! "
  • "I have had vaginismus since I was a kid... The ONLY completely positive experience that I have had is thanks to Quim; I was able to feel opening like never before, and had no pain, but not because I was numb! Instead, I was so in that part of my body and just loved it. ... This has been an absolutely life changing experience and I am so so so grateful that you have come into my life."
  • "The thought of self-care for my vagina never crossed my mind until I was introduced to Quim. I have the Happy Clam Everyday Oil and I use it after showering and sex. It literally is eye cream for your vagina and it should be apart of everyone’s routine."

Our Mission

Our mission at Quim is to create products that deepen the connection you have with your own body, and empower you to care for it in a way that makes sense for you.

After years of dealing with persistent vaginal health issues on our own—yeast infections, bladder infections, difficulty climaxing, low libido, allergic reactions to commercial lube—we came together to share what we’ve learned and to bring you formulas that work for us. Happier quims and better sex through the natural powers of plant medicine.

We are not reinventing the wheel here—people (and often women) have been healing each other through plant-based care for millennia. Our formulas are inspired by centuries of folk medicine and, with you, we hope to create a space for people with vaginas to share their experiences and promote shameless self-care. By reconnecting with our own bodily intuition, we can fully tap into our power as the “#1 expert” on living in our own bodies.

“Because it’s high time we start treating our quims with the same TLC as our diligently serumed / SPF’d / charcoal-masked faces.”
