In the twenty-fifth episode of The Idealists (formerly Grit & Grace), Melissa talks to Ti Chang, award-winning industrial designer and co-founder of CRAVE which makes luxury sensual products for women. Ti has been the leading voice in bringing modern sex toys to the mainstream and her work has helped pioneer the category of sex jewelry. She shares why it's so important to design products that push pleasure products out of the dark shadows of stigma and into mainstream conversations.

Correction: The podcast teaser mentions 30% of women, but it is actually less than 18% of women who can orgasm penetratively.

“If you’re gonna try things and everything is bad, you’re gonna think, ‘Well maybe something is wrong with me,’ which is actually the default mode a lot of women go to. They try products that don’t work for them and then they think they’re broken.”
