Both the savvi Group and Marie Stopes believe that all women should be empowered with information and support to make healthy choices about their sex lives.
“Partnering with Marie Stopes embodies what the savvi team is all about,” explains savvi Group Director and Co-founder, Lisa Gooch.
“We’re committed to increasing the availability of sex health awareness and wellbeing, especially for women.”
“A partnership with Marie Stopes, who provides sexual and reproductive healthcare to women in over 40 developing countries around the world, is an important and worthy cause to support and is very much in keeping with the savvi values.
“We believe savvi is an important part of the health and wellbeing sector and that it’s high time it became ‘OK’ for women to seek out various gadgets* to use on their own or with a partner, to enhance both physical health, and wellbeing.”
“As part of our partnership we’ll donate $5 from every sale of one of our savviest gadgets, ‘Mia’. It’s discreet and tasteful which is all things ‘savvi’ really”.
"To get the sexual health awareness message to more women we are including Marie Stopes speakers and materials at events we host and Marie Stopes will also have a dedicated sexual health page on the savvi.com.au website”.
Maria Deveson Crabbe, Chief Executive Officer of Marie Stopes International Australia said, “We believe that there are huge benefits to being more open and upfront about sex and to integrating sex health awareness into everyday life.”
“Countries where this is the case, such as the Netherlands, have shown us that it can lead to improved sexual health and lower teen and unplanned pregnancy rates.”
“We want to see all aspects of sexual health and sexual rights become more socially acceptable in Australia”.
“We see choosing to use an adult gadget as part of a healthy sex life and for many people they are a way to further express your sexuality and get to know your body better.”
“Using adult gadgets can also be a way for individuals or couples to have ‘sex’ without actually having physical sex therefore making it a very safe way to be intimate without the worry of sexually transmitted infections or unintended pregnancy.”
“We want to see all aspects of sexual health and sexual rights become more socially acceptable in Australia.”
“The donation provided from the sale of the savvi Mia will help Marie Stopes in working to prevent women from dying as a result of pregnancy and childbirth in developing countries in the Asia Pacific which is a fantastic outcome of this partnership.”
