5 Reasons Women Use Tabu to Boost Libido

It’s not rocket science, but the right tools and a few simple tricks can do wonders for your sex life.
“Some people confuse libido with motivation to use a personal massager. I tell my patients you just need to start using it and use it regularly. Successful sessions will naturally lead to an increase in your libido.”

1. Makes sex comfortable (so you actually want to have it) 

Hormonal shifts during menopause or after childbirth can bring on symptoms that make intimacy uncomfortable or downright painful. So, it’s no surprise that if you’re experiencing things like dryness and atrophy, your libido has formally left the building.



At Tabu, we build doctor-informed tools that help alleviate symptoms that get in the way of a healthy sex life. 



And it works -

2. Successful sessions (with or without orgasm) release hormones that create a positive feedback loop

It’s human nature to seek out positive, feel-good experiences. When we have comfortable sex (see point one), it triggers the release of feel-good hormones like oxytocin (the love hormone), dopamine (the reward hormone), and endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers) that signal to your brain you’d like to do that again (and again, and again, and again…). 



Orgasms in particular also reduce cortisol (the stress hormone), lowering your stress and anxiety levels which are known to dampen libido.

3. A sexual wellness routine builds self-confidence and desire

Like anything, good habits (and outcomes) don’t happen overnight. Our intimate health is all about mind/body connection which is why we're proud to see that

when they make Tabu a part of their routine.


What do we mean by “routine”, exactly? Just like your skin, hair, or exercise regimens, Tabu’s intimacy essentials are designed to be integrated into your wellness routine. Consistency is key, but it doesn’t take much to see a meaningful impact.


Our experts recommend setting aside two days a week for just 10 minutes of you time.

In most cases, it comes down to one thing: avoidance. Things like dryness, atrophy, and low body confidence lead many of us to avoid partnered sex. And more often than not, that avoidance is interpreted as a lack of attraction rather than a response to pain.


At Tabu, our tools are designed to help you remedy these common symptoms, discover what feels good (which may be different than what felt good in the past), and learn to better communicate with your partner.


Women who make Tabu a part of their routine are 12x more likely to report an improvement in their relationship.

5. Notice real changes in as little as 4 - 6 weeks

“While it is different for everyone, we know that neurological changes and tissue improvements can happen in as little as 4 - 6 weeks with regular stimulation,” says Dr. Heidi Gastler. 




Regular stimulation of the genitals (alone or with a partner) strengthens the neural pathways associated with sexual arousal and pleasure. The more these pathways are activated, the more easily they are triggered.



“As I always say, sex begets sex,” says Dr. Gastler.
