The Journal
Intimate wellness is more than a purchase — it’s a practice. The Dark Olive Journal is where we explore what that means: body-safe materials, self-care rituals, product guides, and honest conversations about pleasure and wellbeing. No shame, no euphemisms, just thoughtful content for women who take their wellness seriously.
Whether you’re new to intimate wellness or already know exactly what you want, our journal is here to help you make informed choices — about your body, your products, and your rituals. Every piece is written with the same intention we bring to our collection: quality over quantity, always.
Some pain during sex is a timing problem. Here’s what the research shows
About 30% of women felt pain the last time they had intercourse, and most of it was mild and brief. Much of that pain comes down to timing, not desire.
