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.
