Unbound started out as a subscription sex toy box service that also offered pre-set themed curations that could be purchased one-off – the Booty Box, the Kink Box, the Menopause Box and more. The company has since exploded, with sales increasing from $20,000 to $4 million last year according to Forbes.
Today, Unbound appears to have narrowed its focus to include quarterly curations and “intro” boxes only (no more pre-set themed boxes available in perpetuity), their own in-house brand of sex toys and lubes and a collection of accessibly priced, intelligently designed, modern looking intimate jewelry.
Forbes recently featured the company’s newest jewelry offering, the Palma Ring, calling it “a vibrator women can wear to the office.”
Currently in pre-sale for an early 2019 release and eventually available in silver and gold, Unbound described Palma as “the world’s first fashion forward vibrator ring.” It’s waterproof and boasts multiple customizable speeds. Forbes said it “looks a lot like a ring Robert Lee Morris might have designed back in the ‘80s, with a distinctive mix of chunky and elegant.”
Cool. I like rings, especially big ones! (I had to Google Robert Lee Morris though – agreed, Forbes)
Via Forbes, Unbound CEO Polly Rodriguez noted the company’s growth and success were due partly to their focus on “community first.”
“We want to undo the shame that women have faced for centuries towards their sexuality,” Rodriguez said. “We call our products ‘wellness products’ because that’s what they’re really about: wellbeing for all women…”
Forbes closed out their coverage musing, “Hearing that so many Millenial (sic) women get their information from porn is sad. Imagining that a generation of women will grow up thinking that the primarily male style of sex offered by most porn is the standard is depressing…”
At least the folks behind Unbound seem to know women’s sexual anxieties are much further reaching and complex than a one-way feeder street coming from adult entertainment’s “primarily male style of sex.” Also, clearly Forbes didn’t check out Unbound’s Insta, which has featured empowered quotes from women performers at least once…
