I was visiting my mother over the weekend, and flipping through one of the dozen catalogues she gets per week, unrequested, and found "Essentials," or Old Lady Essentials as she called it. The products were mostly robes, house dresses, capes and those apron shirt things I don't understand. But on the back of the order form, right next to the toe socks was something a little surprising. Sex toys. There were two in the catalogue, but the website has a larger selection. Color me impressed. So often older women are thought of as asexual. But gray hair and menopause don't mean death for your libido.
The thing I like most, though, is there's no hiding. No "educational model" bullshit. "Essentials" offers a full range of products for the older woman. Beat that, Banana Republic. Pun intended.
