SAN FRANCISCO—Pleasure product retailer Good Vibrations celebrated "body positivity and sensuality" at an event called Abundance: A Sensual Exploration of Plus-Size Pleasure on Friday, October 17. Part of its Sexy at Every Size campaign, the event was held at Good Vibrations’ boutique on Kearny Street, adjacent to Union Square in San Francisco.
The event premiered new lines of plus-sized lingerie and strap-on harnesses and included personalized fittings and product consultations by SpareParts, Coquette, Oh La La Cheri and Sportsheets.
“I was thrilled to have the support of so many of our vendors for this popular event. We have long sold items in a range of sizes but actually being able to showcase lingerie up to 4x and harnesses that fit up to 5x was revolutionary!” said Coyote Days, purchasing manager for Good Vibrations.
Virgie Tovar, author and fat activist, facilitated as emcee of the evening, interviewing staff experts and guests while promoting the in-store drawing with prizes donated by Dreamgirl, Lelo, Perseus Books, Wicked Pictures and the aforementioned vendors.
Good vibrations launched #SexyAtEverySize as a social media campaign on Twitter and Instagram to globally celebrate body positivity as a fundamental of sex positivity.
“You cannot fully embrace positive sexuality without being able to celebrate our bodies as they are,” said Andy Duran, Good Vibrations' educational outreach and affiliate manager.
That message was conveyed at Abundance with the #SexyAtEverySize "truths station," where guest were invited to share their messages of what body positive sexuality means to them.
“Part of Good Vibrations’ #SexyAtEverySize campaign is to emphasize that all body types are worthy of feeling sexy and admired,” said Duran.
Good Vibrations plans to continue the campaign in the future. Follow the hashtag #SexyAtEverySize to listen in on the conversation.
