At Crave, we believe that sexual pleasure, intimacy and satisfaction are at the core of being human. We believe that sex is healthy, wholesome and playful, that delight and flirtation provide vital sparks to everyday life. We believe that people crave a variety of sexual experiences and that there should be no judgement, stigma, or shame about that desire.
We believe that women have been underserved in the market for quality toys, accessories and devices. The design, manufacture and material choices for sex toys have been poor, and the shopping experience has been off-putting for many, which has created a longstanding perception of a lack of quality in the category at large. With Crave, we want to change the way women experience sex toys.
