Walgreen's Now Carries Sensual Wellness Products by LELO

Walgreen's has begun carrying sensual wellness products developed and designed by Swedish based company LELO.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) February 25, 2009 -- "There is ever-increasing sensual and sexual wellness awareness as drug stores such as Walgreen's, CVS, Rite Aid, Drugstore.com and others have begun promoting Sexual Health and Wellness sections", says LELO Sales and Marketing manager, Shaye Saldana from LELO's California office. "We are very pleased to see LELO products next to Durex, Trojan, K-Y and other well-known reputable brands that are improving the sensual quality of people's lives. Sensual wellness is a natural part of individuals' overall physical and mental health and it is a natural fit to see these products offered by these pharmacies."

LELO's products, of the highest quality and safety standards, are designed to help people have a healthy and positive sensual experience. "We are very fortunate to be a part of the revolution in the health and pharmaceutical industry with more focused attention on addressing sexual health as a key part of people's overall health", adds Saldana.

First Crowdsourced Women's Health Book Released

First Crowdsourced Women's Health Book Released

190 Women Share Experiences and Treatments for Painful, Common Chronic Condition

Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) February 25, 2009 -- CureTogether, a Health 2.0 Startup based in Silicon Valley, today released the first crowdsourced women's health book. Assembled from the input of 190 women living with a common, but poorly understood condition called vulvodynia, "Vulvodynia Heroes" is the product of an ongoing online research study at http://www.curetogether.com.

"Patients decided on their own what symptoms and treatments they wanted to track and gathered detailed, quantitative data on their bodies and experiences," said Alexandra Carmichael, co-Founder of CureTogether. "The hope of this book is to spread awareness, reach out to people in pain who may not have heard of vulvodynia, and increase interest and funding for future research."

"The vulvodynia heroes are pioneers not just in investigating their own condition, but in developing self-cure practices that others can follow," said Gary Wolf, Contributing Editor of Wired and Blogger at The Quantified Self. "Many other women who are suffering will find this very helpful and inspiring," added Elizabeth Rummer, MSPT at the Pelvic Health and Rehabilitation Center in San Francisco.

Vulvodynia is a painful chronic condition that affects 16% of women at some point in their lives. It's one of the most active condition communities at CureTogether, with information about symptoms, treatments, and causes added by almost 200 women with vulvodynia. The "Vulvodynia Heroes" book is available at http://www.curetogether.com/VHeroes.

About CureTogether

CureTogether launched in 2008 to help people anonymously track and compare health data -- to better understand their bodies, make more informed treatment decisions and contribute data to research. Starting with 3 conditions (Migraine, Endometriosis and Vulvodynia), its members have since expanded it to support 214 conditions.

*Please note that the information in Vulvodynia Heroes and at CureTogether.com does not constitute medical advice.
