San Francisco, CA -- December 4, 2009 -- If one of your resolutions for 2010 is to kick it up a notch in the bedroom, Good Vibrations (www.goodvibes.com) is proud to announce their new Mommy’s Playdates, fun, after-hours mixers for moms who want to learn how to put the spice back in their sex lives. 

After the baby is born and newly arrived home, many women put their needs at the bottom of the list and sex and sexual health can be easily forgotten. Most wonder when their sex lives will ever get back to normal and are completely unprepared for the physical and emotional roller coaster ride that comes in the months following the baby’s arrival. Intimacy often takes second place as they try and meet the demands of their newborn and make sense of their new role as a parent. This is not just for women who have given birth --adoptive moms welcome too.
 
Good Vibrations “soft launched” Mommy Playdates into their signature after-hours events schedule during the last several seasons and were astonished by the overwhelming attendance and favorable response from moms. Women from all over the San Francisco/Bay Area clamored to attend and learn from Good Vibrations resident experts tips and tricks to get the va-va-va voom back in the bedroom. The average purchase was between $100.00 and $400.00 per customer at the Playdates indicating to Good Vibes staff that moms were very serious about reinvigorating their sex lives.

Said Good Vibrations Spokesperson, Dr. Carol Queen, “Understanding how the arrival of a baby can affect sex and intimacy is exactly why we decided to launch the Mommy Playdates. Good Vibrations has nurtured our female customers through many lifecycles –from the “first time” experiences to menopause. Why not help guide them through this period of their lives as well?”

Mommy Playdate attendees can mix with like-minded moms (sans babies), have a “Mommi-tini” (anti-oxidant cocktails), get a one-on-one consultation with educated store staffers and experience a personalized store tour and product demos with Good Vibrations’ sexologist and renowned author/expert, Dr. Carol Queen and staff members including GV’s COO, Jackie Strano who is a parent herself.

Moms are invited to bring friends, mingle with other new moms.  Other activities include special guest appearances from authors and experts, foot massages, product demos, goody bags for attendees, a drawing for a special “Sexy Starter Kit” to get the sparks flying again in the bedroom. The kit includes some of Good Vibrations’ bestelling and most discreet toys (a value of $200) and special product discounts. 

Good Vibrations hopes to schedule at least 6 Mommy Playdates in 2010 and offer customers workshops on Postpartum Sex in select locations. For more information and the Mommy Playdate schedule, call Camilla Lombard  (415) 974-8985 x 201  or email camillal@goodvibes.com
