About The Big Oh
Pleasure For Everyone.
The essence of the Big Oh! Box is rooted in a commitment to sex positivity and a welcoming attitude towards new experiences. As I embarked on my journey to embrace a more sex-positive lifestyle, I couldn’t help but notice a significant gap in the sex toy subscription box market. While the market itself was relatively small, it seemed to exclude a large segment of individuals, particularly those outside the realm of heterosexual couples.
Most subscriptions were tailored exclusively for heterosexual couples, emphasizing feminine items like lingerie and concentrating on vibrators. Recognizing this oversight, I pondered on how to bridge this gap. The solution became clear – we needed to shift the focus to gender-neutral concepts and introduce what we term a “Pleasure Choice,” allowing customers to select their preferred sex toy. This approach ensures inclusivity and diversity, making pleasure accessible to everyone, regardless of their identity or preferences.

Motivation and Decision-Making: Motivated by the realization that many subscription boxes catered exclusively to heterosexual couples, with a heavy emphasis on feminine items and vibrators, we saw an opportunity to bridge the gap. The decision to offer a more inclusive range of products was driven by a desire to provide options for everyone, regardless of their preferences.
Challenges and Successes: The journey hasn’t been without its challenges, particularly in advertising due to the industry’s restrictions on adult products. However, being featured in prominent articles has propelled our business forward, reinforcing the importance of our mission.
