Pure Joy Wellness Approved - Tabu Sexual Wellness Kit
/As women over 50, something we don’t talk about enough is sex. Why is that?! Sex isn’t something we age out of—it’s not something we’re barred off from once we turn a certain age. Sex can and should be enjoyed by women at any age, whether you have a partner, you’re seeing someone, or you’re single.
However, that doesn’t seem to be the case right now for many women. Did you know that almost 50 percent of women stop being sexually active altogether in their 50s? I know, wild.
This month’s Pure Joy Wellness Approved product is all natural and sex-forward. Ladies, let’s talk about the Sexual Wellness Kit from Tabu.

The Golden Hour Kit by Tabu, $145
Whether you are in the throes of menopause or have already gone through it and are dealing with the aftermath, I encourage you to read more about this product. While it may seem “Tabu” to talk about sex (see what I did there?), it really is a topic we should destigmatize and feel comfortable asking questions about. What’s the harm, really? We’re human beings. Sex is natural, normal, and healthy.
So with that in mind, here’s why I love this product and the brand Tabu as a whole…
Why I Love This Product/Brand
Tabu is a female-founded company!
Tabu founder and CEO Natalie Waltz wanted her company to be for women, by women. While she herself is not over 50 yet, the inspiration for Tabu came from her family, friends, and future self.
“Months before my 30th birthday, I was surprised to find myself talking to my mom about sex for the first time. ‘Use it or lose it,’ she said, as she opened up about the physical and emotional challenges of sex and menopause. From the lack of adequate solutions to the taboo notion that us women – like men – may want to preserve this part of our lives as we age, I quickly realized that something had to change.
I started Tabu for our moms, aunts, friends and future selves. Our mission is to honor and celebrate sexual wellness as we age.”
As you probably guessed, this mission resonates with me bigtime. I love that Tabu was created from a place of women empowering women, and supporting each other as we tackle the different phases of our lives—especially the latter half of our lives.
Tabu’s products are made with safe ingredients.
Buying any kind of sex-related item can be a bit intimidating and confusing. There are limitless options out there, and it’s hard to find information about what to look for when it comes to materials and ingredients. The majority of products are made with synthetic, cheap materials that can cause issues like irritation, allergic reactions, rashes, or just plain discomfort. With Tabu products, though, you have nothing to worry about. The massager is 100% waterproof and made with medical grade silicone, aka not the cheap stuff. The lubricant is organic, hypoallergenic, fragrance free, pH balanced, vegan, FDA cleared, and free of glycerin, parabens, and hormones. Also, Tabu is extremely transparent about their ingredients and sourcing, which is super reassuring for me as a consumer.
The company’s mission is to change the conversation around sex.
For whatever reason, women’s pleasure, specifically self pleasure, has become synonymous with guilt. As if it’s a “guilty pleasure” to own a vibrator or care about your sexual wellness. What I love about Tabu is that they’re trying to change the conversation around sex and the way we talk about it. They recognize that sex is a key component of our overall wellbeing, and that it’s a healthy part of life—not something reserved for specific people or a specific time in our lives. They also acknowledge that sexual activity can prevent and treat many of the symptoms that come with menopause, and has numerous benefits—from lowering your risk of heart disease and reducing your stress to improving your confidence and sleep quality.
Bottom line: There are plenty of companies out there selling vibrators, lubricants, and much more, but purchasing Tabu products means supporting a brand that actually cares about sexual wellness, not just sex and the money they can make from it.
