Welcome to the 2026 plusOne Wellness Collective: Elevating the Conversation on Intimate Health
At plusOne, we believe that sexual wellness is a fundamental pillar of overall health, yet it remains one of the most underserved and stigmatized areas of self-care. Since our inception, we’ve been on a mission to make high-quality intimate wellness accessible to everyone.
Today, we are thrilled to introduce the 2026 plusOne Wellness Collective—a hand-selected group of world-class experts dedicated to breaking barriers, bridging the education gap, and advocating for a future where intimate health is discussed with the same openness as nutrition or fitness.
What is the Wellness Collective?
The plusOne Wellness Collective is more than just a panel of experts; it is a specialized brain trust of board-certified practitioners and therapists who serve as the heartbeat of our brand’s educational and developmental initiatives.
Originally launched in 2024, the Collective was born from a simple realization: consumers deserve expert-backed information to navigate their intimate lives. Our 2026 members are united by a shared mission to:
Educate: Providing science-based insights into pelvic health, hormonal changes, and sexual satisfaction.
Advocate: Working to eliminate the long-standing stigmas that prevent people from seeking the care or products they need.
Innovate: Partnering with our product development teams to ensure plusOne continues to create groundbreaking, body-safe tools that solve real-world needs.
"We are committed to bridging the education gap around intimate wellness. By collaborating with these distinguished professionals, we ensure that our community feels empowered, informed, and seen."
