First and foremost, we wanted to recognize the SCOTUS ruling released on 06/24/22. We wanted to send our love to everyone impacted by this ruling and let you all know, we are with you and we support your right to choose and have access to health care. We also wanted to provide you with some resources if you are either seeking an abortion or access to abortion care or if you are wanting to donate/help out in the fight for reproductive rights. Please visit this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DvISKDWBgZlTVEEzUl-P0sSpc5MEtYaOFw6b4Fvv2HE/edit?usp=sharing for ALL things abortion access (including where to donate, how to find clinics, education materials, and more). We love you all and we are grieving with you during this time. Abortion is a human right and the Lovability team and I are here fighting for your rights. xoxo Maureen

This week on BWTP, Maureen Pollack of Lovability Inc. sits down with another badass female inventor, Melanie Cristol of My Lorals for this Babe With The Power Session! We chat about oral sex, STI protection, and the journey and challenges of creating an innovative sexual wellness product.
Melanie saw a need for an alternative to dental dams in the market and decided to make a sexy and silky panty used for oral, fingering, rimming, etc! Lorals are extremely thin, allowing users to feel pleasure without skin-to-skin contact with a similar feel!
Lorals were created to protect from STIs during oral sex (they are not yet FDA approved but that is something they are currently tackling), but they also have SO many other uses! Think oral on your period, scratchy beards, sensitivity, scent, and other psychological reasons. You can purchase Lorals at https://mylorals.com and follow Lorals on IG & TiKTok @mylorals .
This episode is a re-release from our previous video series and was recorded in 2021.
