Meet Nook. But first, the story behind it.
A few months ago, we ran a little experiment that told us something we already suspected in our bones but had never seen so clearly in data.
We showed our audience nine statements about intimacy, desire, and midlife bodies. We asked them which ones felt true. And one statement won by a landslide. Not the one about dryness, not the one about desire, not the clinical one about hormonal changes. This one:
"I want intimacy and connection, but I need it to feel good for me too. Not like one more thing I'm doing for someone else."
The rest didn't even come close.
And so we built Nook.
If you want a head start, Nook is built for the women who finally said it out loud, and Loob Daily is what most pair with it.
What midlife women are really looking for
If you've been searching for the best clitoral massager for perimenopause, or wondering whether a personal massager could actually make a difference during menopause, you're in exactly the right place. But we want to start somewhere different than most product launches do.
We want to start with the feeling.
The data told us that the thing our audience craved most wasn't a product feature. It wasn't vibration modes or waterproofing or a curved hook (though Nook has all of those things). It was something harder to put on a spec sheet:
She wants pleasure that belongs to her.
Not performance. Not accommodation. Not intimacy that's technically happening but somehow still doesn't include her. She wants to feel good. Fully, actually, completely good. And she's done pretending otherwise.
That insight is baked into every decision we made about Nook.

The thing most women know but rarely say out loud
Here's a stat that should be common knowledge but somehow still surprises people:
More than 80% of women need clitoral stimulation to orgasm.
Not occasionally. Not as a nice-to-have. As their primary, most reliable route to orgasm.
And yet the majority of intimate culture: the scripts we inherited, the sex ed we got (or didn't), the way intimacy has historically been depicted in media and, let's be honest, designed into products. It all centers penetration. Centers a version of sex written largely by and for someone else.
This is the orgasm gap. And it isn't a personal failing. It's a culture problem.
Perimenopause and menopause make this even harder to ignore. As hormones shift, external clitoral stimulation becomes even more central to pleasure. And yet the tools, the conversations, and the cultural scripts still haven't caught up.
Nook is catching up.

Why this matters especially if you're in perimenopause or menopause
If you've been Googling how to have better sex during perimenopause, here's the honest answer: your body has new preferences, and there's nothing wrong with finding out what they are.
As estrogen levels shift, blood flow to the clitoris and vulva can decrease, natural lubrication often decreases, and what worked before may not be what works now. The clitoral nerve endings that respond to vibration are among the most resilient.
Nook's 10 modes give you full range to find what feels good now. And if dryness is part of your experience, we recommend pairing Nook with Loob Daily Moisturizer.
The part nobody talks about: partnered sex and the pleasure gap
Here's something our audience data surfaced: the winning statement wasn't about solo pleasure. It was about intimacy with someone, and still feeling like her needs matter.
Heterosexual men orgasm 95% of the time during sex. Heterosexual women? 65%. The gap isn't a mystery. It's a choice about what gets prioritized.
Nook was designed with this in mind. The long handle means that using it during partnered sex doesn't require a contorted arm, a pause, or anyone stopping to rearrange.
Intimacy should feel good for YOU too. That's not a big ask. It's the whole ask.
Five minutes that are entirely yours
We have a word for it at Oboo: the oboobreak.
It's five minutes (maybe ten) that belong completely to you. Not scrolling. Not catching up on emails. Not doing anything for anyone else. Just your body, a tool like Nook, and a little focused pleasure that has nothing to do with performance or outcome.
The oboobreak is self-care that actually works. Not in the bubble-bath, hashtag-wellness sense. In the real, physical, your-nervous-system-needed-that sense.

Your questions, answered
Is Nook only for solo use?
Not at all. Nook was specifically designed to work during partnered sex. The long handle keeps your hand out of the way.
I've never bought anything like this. Where do I start?
Nook is a great first purchase: one button, intuitive shape, and a design that makes targeting easy. If the vibration feels intense at first, try it over underwear or light fabric.
Will this work for my body during perimenopause?
This is exactly who Nook was designed for. Ten modes give you the full range to find what works today. Pair with Loob Daily.
How is Nook different from other clitoral massagers?
Nook's vibration is localized to the hook only, which means stimulation is precise and targeted, your hand doesn't go numb, and the long handle keeps you comfortable.
What's the price?
Nook is $99, or four interest-free payments of $24.75 with Shop Pay. Ships discreetly within one business day.
