Meet Megan Bianchi of Stay Sexy in Arcadia and Uptown Phoenix

Today we’d like to introduce you to Megan Bianchi.

Megan, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
It all started on a road trip to San Diego with my best friend and business partner. We were probably on our second coffee driving through the desert having the conversation of what business could we start? What would be fun? How could we help people and make money? What do you love? How could we incorporate all the things we love like, makeup, health and wellness and sex into a business? That conversation grew into serious research into the huge market for health and wellness.

We found that a lot of women like us eat organic food, apply organic luxury products to our skin, take fitness classes and meditate, collect crystals and smudge our homes, read books about how to be healthy inside and out. But our sexuality and sexual health are ignored. Being sexy is fun and our sexuality is an important part of who we are! I want to be sexy, doesn’t everyone? Or shouldn’t they?

Sexual health and wellness products in the United States are still predominantly marketed to men and don’t address women’s needs or a feminine aesthetic. This is not the case in Europe and Australia. We saw there was room in the market for luxury sexual health products that are just as clean and healthy as those we put on any other part of our body and are beautifully packaged so women can display them without shame in their bathroom cabinet or on their nightstand next to their serums and lotions. We decided it was time to flip the taboo and empower women to own and celebrate their sexuality. Thus Stay Sexy was born.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It quickly became clear that Stay Sexy is for the modern, sophisticated and confident woman. A woman who is confident in her sexuality enjoys sex. She knows who she is. Some women we thought would embrace the brand didn’t, and that had its painful moments. But for every person who was uncomfortable with the brand and what it stands for, we’ve met a hundred women who love it. Through this journey, we have met so many amazing and talented people who have been beyond generous with helping us start this business. Thanks to them we were able to hone in on the identity of our brand and our target customer. Meeting other confident and creative women helped in creating the blog piece of our website, which highlights other women entrepreneurs in the community who are following their passion and dives into what they find sexy.

We’d love to hear more about your business.
Stay Sexy specializes in condoms and an all natural, water based vegan personal lubricant. Our products are chemical free and as beautiful as the women who use them. We believe that sexy truly is a state of mind. Embracing your sexuality is powerful. It is also fun and playful. Every piece of your life should be beautiful and sexy.

I am most proud of the care we have put into building the Stay Sexy brand and creating every product, from packaging choices and ingredients to the message Stay Sexy sends to the world.

What were you like growing up?
I was a relatively shy child, a dreamer and avid reader. I enjoyed art and learning. You could usually find me drawing and reading at least five books at a time.
