Approachable sexual wellness, founded in Vancouver.

What inspired you to create Esmerelda?

Esmerelda began with one simple belief: pleasure is a natural part of wellbeing, and it should feel easy to explore.

Like so many people, I grew up with very little education around pleasure. There were plenty of messages about what we shouldn’t do, but almost no conversations about understanding our bodies, discovering what feels good, or giving ourselves permission to explore without shame.

I created Esmerelda to make that journey feel a little softer, a little simpler, and a lot more welcoming.

Why is this mission personal to you?

Because I’ve been there.

I’ve questioned my body. I’ve wondered if something was wrong with me. I’ve experienced the uncertainty, the awkwardness, and the feeling that everyone else seemed to know something I didn’t.

Learning about pleasure taught me that there isn’t one “right” way to experience pleasure - only your way.

What do you hope people feel when they discover Esmerelda?

Like they’ve found a safe place.

A place where they don’t need to know all the answers. A place where there is no pressure to perform. A place where curiosity is celebrated.

I want people to feel relieved, excited, and understood.

If someone is new to Esmerelda, what can they expect?

Thoughtfully designed pleasure products for every stage of the journey.

Whether you’re looking for your very first vibrator or exploring something completely new, our collection is carefully curated to help you discover sensations that suit your body.

No overwhelm. No pressure. Just beautiful products designed to make pleasure feel simple.

What makes Esmerelda special?

We’re education first.

Our goal has never been to simply sell products. We want to help people understand their bodies, explore with confidence, and feel supported every step of the way.

Because the right information can be just as empowering as the right product.

What about quality?

Every Esmerelda product is made from premium body-safe, non-porous silicone that’s designed with both comfort and quality in mind.

We carefully select every product we carry and back them with a warranty because we genuinely believe in what we offer.

What’s one thing you wish everyone knew about pleasure?

I wish more people knew that pleasure isn’t something you have to be “good at.”

It isn’t a performance or a finish line.

It’s simply about becoming more connected to yourself. Sometimes that starts with curiosity. Sometimes it starts with slowing down. And sometimes it simply starts by giving yourself permission to explore.
