NEW YORK—Natural Contours, the company known for designing ergonomic pleasure items, has created the Petite Pink Intimate Massager to help breast cancer survivors bring pleasure and intimacy back in to their lives.
The Natural Contours Petite Pink is an elegant massager that's ergonomically contoured to fit comfortably on the woman's mons. Delivering three quiet but potent speeds in its dainty frame, it can be incorporated into lovemaking with a partner, or used alone.
According to Deborah Kotz, who wrote a health report on "Sex After Breast Cancer" (U.S.News & World Report, Aug. 5, 2008), "nowhere in this burst of coverage have I seen information on a side effect that's rarely talked about: how tough it is for breast cancer patients to maintain an active sex life."
Refusing to discuss the impact breast cancer has on a woman's intimate life is like ignoring the elephant in the room. Natural Contours feels that a product that helps women reignite their feelings of desire is of obvious importance as well as a compassionate response to the needs of women who have survived breast cancer and want to bring pleasure and intimacy back in to their lives.
Because many cancer survivors experience difficulty getting their feelings back due to treatments, medications and a drop in estrogen, many health experts suggest incorporating sex toys for both self-pleasure and intimacy with a partner. Gina Shaw, on WebMD, suggests that "Your 'getting my groove back' tool kit" should include "various sex toys."
In "Sex After Breast Cancer," for ExpressMilwaukee.com, Laura Anne Stewart, MPH, quotes Dorian Solot, a sex educator, author of the book I Love Female Orgasm: An Extraordinary Orgasm Guide, and a nine-year breast cancer survivor: "Because of both physical and emotional changes, it may take longer than it used to ... to get turned on." She goes on to state the need for more warm-up time and suggests incorporating "extras that can spark a sexual flame," including "sex toys and "other 'edgy' sexual adventures that may not have previously been part of your sexual relationship pre-cancer."
On BreastCancer.org, Dr. Marisa Weiss, states: "Masturbation is a normal form of sexual activity and release. It provides innocent pleasure and keeps your body healthy. I tell my patients it's a form of exercise and conditioning for the vagina, which has suffered considerable change and lack of use during breast cancer treatment."
Natural Contours can think of no greater way to support breast cancer survivors than to provide them with a sweet, gentle intimate massager that can help bring pleasure back in to their lives and regain the intimacy they once had with their partners.
Natural Contours is proud to contribute a portion of the sales proceeds of the Petite Pink to Breast Cancer Action (BCAction.org), a nonprofit that assists women who have breast cancer and brings awareness to the more social and political issues through their "Think before you pink" campaign.
