How Oboo Came to Be
I'm Amy St. Germain, the founder of Oboo, a brand on its way to make perimenopause, menopause, and sex as regular a conversation as your morning coffee chat. In my previous life as a corporate executive, I was deeply invested in supporting new moms and promoting successful breastfeeding. My mission back then? To make life a little easier for moms like me.
Fast forward to today, and I’m navigating a new chapter—perimenopause—knocking incessantly on my door. I was floored by how little I knew about it and even more shocked that nobody seemed to be talking about this major life transition! When I stumbled upon a jaw-dropping stat—up to 40% of "older" women stop being intimate with themselves or a partner—I thought, “Wait, what?! We've still got decades to enjoy our fabulous bodies!”
So, at 51, I took a leap of faith, left my corporate career, and started Oboo. My mission now? To make perimenopause, menopause, and yes, sex, hot topics of conversation. Oboo is for those in midlife who may need a little boost in self-love and intimacy. My goal is to provide the support, resources, and—most importantly—the sexual wellness and pleasure tools to turn that 40% stat on its head!
Let’s talk about perimenopause. Let’s talk about menopause. And let’s definitely talk about sex—because we’ve still got it, and it’s time to let it shine.
