Happy Mother’s Day 🌷

Hi there,

Tabu was founded after an awkward and enlightening conversation with my mom about sex. “Use it or lose it,” she said, as she opened up about the intimacy challenges women face as our bodies change over time. Tabu was born to help remedy the common symptoms that get in the way of a healthy, vibrant sex life. We started with women 45+ (women like my mom). 

Then I became a mom. 

Suddenly I was facing my own set of intimacy challenges. And in so many unexpected ways, I came to understand my mother better. 

I think about that conversation all the time. I think about how much closer it brought us (and I had already considered my mom my best friend). I think about how I hope to model that same vulnerability with my own daughter (she’s only a year old so we have some time). And I think about how lucky we are to live in a time when women are cracking open the tricky or taboo parts of being a woman to create a better future for our daughters, granddaughters, nieces, and friends.

To celebrate Mother’s Day is to honor mothering in its many forms. Whether you’re surrounded by your kids, remembering someone you’ve lost, relishing in the way your pup looks at you, or celebrating the countless ways you take care of the people you hold dear – I hope today is filled with gratitude and love. 

Happy Mother’s Day, 

Natalie, Founder
