Pillow Talk is a new signature lubricant from the pioneering sexual wellness brand co-founded by Christina Aguilera, Catherine Magee and Sandy Vukovic, and it's launching alongside the brand's first purpose-driven campaign, 1-888-PLY-GRND. This campaign centers around shame-free sexual wellness and empowerment, and it reimagines male-focused sex hotlines of the 90s.
"We are proud to be launching our newest product, Pillow Talk Personal Lubricant, alongside an inspiring campaign that encompasses everything I have always believed in about sex and sexual health," says Chief Brand Advisor and Co-Founder, Christina Aguilera, "This campaign speaks directly to women, encouraging better conversations and challenging the culture of shame surrounding women's sexual health and pleasure, all while contributing to an impactful cause."
At launch, 1% of the net revenue for every Pillow Talk sold will perpetually support nonprofits that align with the brand's social mission.
