Nuelle™, a sexual wellness and intimate care company focused on delivering groundbreaking solutions made specifically for women, announces today its Indiegogo campaign to raise awareness and funding for the company’s first product launch Fiera® Arouser for Her™.
In the US, roughly 46% of all American women, aged 18 – 70 have a sexual concern. Among committed couples, intimacy is important for both the health of the relationship and personal wellbeing. Sex, however, is often a tough subject to broach with partners, health care professionals and friends alike. Through its partnership with Indiegogo, Nuelle aims to normalize the conversation about women’s sexual wellbeing and the impact on quality of life, while educating couples about Fiera® Arouser for Her™ and its proven technology to scientifically enhance arousal and desire, naturally.
Co-created with women and healthcare professionals to bring back excitement to connect sexually with her partner, Nuelle’s Fiera® Arouser for Her™ is the first wearable intimacy enhancer used in advance of a sexual experience that is proven to ignite arousal and increase desire among women. In a study (after four weeks of using Fiera), 87% of women said they felt “in the mood” for sex and 83% enjoyed engaging in sex.*
