Our Story


We are...
Two women entrepreneurs who were tired of feeling ashamed of things that are so deeply human but filled with shame and taboo: periods, sex, and the messy intersection of the two.
For years, we hid tampons in our sleeves, whispered about cramps, canceled plans, and avoided intimacy when we were bleeding.From an early age, we both observed that periods were treated like an inconvenience -- something to manage quietly, not celebrate.
But our cycles are powerful. Messy, yes. But also magical. They remind us that we're alive, fertile, and feminine. Not broken, not dirty, and certainly not less-than.
We saw...
We asked hundreds of women:
-
Only 13% of women say they’re “into” period sex.
-
60% are open to it but don’t do it often.
-
25% avoid it altogether.
-
And the biggest reason why? 71% said it’s “too messy.”
-
Another 31% said they feel self-conscious, 21% find it uncomfortable or painful, and 14% said their partner isn’t into it.
That’s not preference — that’s conditioning. The belief that being seen in your full, natural body is somehow wrong.
So, we started Cherry.
