From PCOS Struggles to Empowering Women Everywhere
Let’s talk about That Sassy Thing, a feminist, new-age sexual wellness brand that’s making waves in India. Founded in 2020 by Sachee, this brand isn’t just about selling products, it’s about normalizing conversations around women’s bodies, pleasure, and intimacy. From periods to masturbation, body hair to sex positivity, That Sassy Thing is breaking taboos and empowering women (and vulva owners) to reclaim their bodies and sexualities. ✌🏾✨
How it All Started?
But how did it all start? Sachee Malhotra’s journey began as a 15-year-old girl diagnosed with PCOS, a hormonal condition that affects 2 in every 5 women in India. Her struggles with body image issues, vaginal dryness, and painful sex led her to realize the lack of body-safe, inclusive sexual wellness products in the market. Most brands felt sleazy, intimidating, and misogynistic, think dark websites with phallic products and marketing that screamed “male pleasure”.
That’s when Sachee decided to create That Sassy Thing, a brand that’s playful, approachable, and unapologetically feminist. And honestly? It’s exactly what India needed. 💃✨
What Makes That Sassy Thing Unique?
That Sassy Thing isn’t just another sexual wellness brand, it’s a movement. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Body-Safe Products: Every product is made with natural ingredients and designed to be safe for vulvas. Sachee believes people deserve to know what they’re putting in their bodies, so the brand is transparent about all ingredients.
- Inclusivity: The brand celebrates all bodies, genders, and sexualities. From full-bodied, hairy women illustrations to judgment-free messaging, That Sassy Thing is all about body positivity.
- Community-Driven: With an organic Instagram following of 32k+, the brand has built a strong community that’s passionate about reclaiming their bodies and sexualities.
- Sex Positivity: Through bold conversations and free Sex Ed Masterclasses, That Sassy Thing is empowering people to make informed decisions about their bodies.
It’s not just about selling products, it’s about creating a safe space for people to explore themselves and their desires. 💃
Sachee’s Journey: Turning Struggles into Strength
Sachee’s story is one of resilience and empowerment. Diagnosed with PCOS at 15, she faced bullying for being big and having excessive body hair. These experiences took a toll on her mental health, affecting her intimate relationships later in life.
When she went looking for sexual wellness products, she found a market dominated by sleazy, male-focused brands. Sachee couldn’t relate to the lack of representation, and the misogynistic marketing only made things worse.
Why is female pleasure seen as something dirty when it simply makes us feel good? This question became the driving force behind That Sassy Thing, a brand that’s unapologetically feminist, inclusive, and fun.
Normalizing Conversations Around Sex and Bodies
Let’s face it, sex and intimacy are still taboo topics in India. From pop culture to family dynamics, these conversations are often swept under the rug or shrouded in shame. That Sassy Thing is here to change that.
Through bold messaging and relatable content, the brand is tackling questions like:
- “Why do parents not acknowledge how we came into this universe?”
- “Why is female pleasure seen as dirty?”
- “Why is ‘first-time sex’ seen as a milestone instead of the first time you experience pleasure?”
By empowering people to have real conversations about bodies, sex, and intimacy, That Sassy Thing is creating a long overdue cultural shift. 💬✨
