DTC femtech and sexual wellness brands are being scooped up by big-name retailers, taking the category from niche to mainstream. Consumers are thinking more holistically about their sexual health as it relates to their overall wellbeing, prompting retailers to embrace modern menstruation and wellness solutions.
Kimberly-Clark announced a majority stake in the Thinx period underwear brand in February. Currently maker of Huggies, Kleenex and Kotex, the investment reflects growing demand in the sexual wellness category and will deepen Kimberly-Clark’s sexual health portfolio.
