We hold these two truths to be self-evident: that dental dams have one of the unsexiest names ever, and sometimes you want more than a towel for post-sex drip. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, it’s time to introduce Melanie Cristol and Frances Tang — two founders on a mission to make sex even better. Melanie, founder of Lorals, talks about how and why she started the company that sells sexy, comfortable, FDA-cleared underwear that replace dental dams, while Frances, founder of Awkward Essentials, talks about creating a cum sponge specifically for after sex use.

Although vibrators were invented by a doctor in the 1880s, they are rarely seen in medical offices, studied for their benefits, or mentioned as beneficial to one’s health. Fortunately, someone is out there to change that. Meet Dr. Karyn Eilber, the distinguished Cedars-Sinai urogynecologist who not only co-authored a study to make vibrators a part of a women's health treatment, but also co-founded and created Glissant, an FDA approved lubricant with ingredients that are actually GOOD for down there. In this episode of Down There With Liz, Liz and Dr. Eilber get into the world of possibilities. Listen in as they discuss everything from the word hysteria and vibrators, lube and skin care, blood flow and vaginal rehabilitation — and how she's on a mission to use her knowledge of all of them to improve sexual function for people with vaginas. Down There With Liz episodes are biweekly, launching on the second and fourth Sundays of each month.

If you haven’t heard of Dr. Harin Padma-Nathan, we guarantee you’ve heard of something major he worked on: Viagra *and* Cialis. His Viagra paper in The New England Journal of Medicine is the most cited paper in the field of urology. Today, he's working on Vella, a serum designed to enhance sexual pleasure for women and people with vulvas. Liz meets Dr. Padma-Nathan to talk about his involvement developing all three products, what existed before Viagra (it was extensive and irreversible), and why the introduction of the pill was so significant. They also talk about what makes Vella stand out from everything else on the market while learning more about the different layers of tissue that make up the vagina and clitoris.
