              • Bypassing big tech’s pleasure censors with Yasemin and Whitney of Jems

                Welcome to episode fifty. Our most unhinged and safely wrapped episode yet.

                Today we have Yasemin and Whitney, co-founders of Jems condoms, on the pod to talk about the sexual wellness CPG space, and their goals of re-imagining how we talk, think, and market safe sex, both at the checkout counter and behind closed doors.

                While looking for contraception options between pregnancies, Yasemin and Whitney noticed a void in the condom aisle and put their zone of genius in design, creative, and marketing to work building their sexual wellness company, one condom at a time. Jems condoms contain no hidden ingredients, and the brand aims to speak to the multiplicity of gender and sexual expressions, while providing education on sexual health and wellness.

                Follow Jems Instagram and TikTok at @jemsforall

                                  About Good for U(?)

                                  From the publisher's feed

                                  Hosted by Michelle and Wallis, Good for U(?) is a lighthearted podcast about capitalism-critical consumerism in the wellness industry. Each week, we discuss what's haunting our carts, the trends we can't escape, which sexy unique scams to avoid, and our strong opinions (that are loosely held). It's cosmic consumerism gone rogue.
