Woman-Founded Brand Babeland Is Celebrating Women's History Month With A Huge Sale

It turns out that you can save money, treat yourself, and support abortion access all at the same time.

Every March, we celebrate Women's History Month by supporting female artists and entrepreneurs, fighting for women's rights, and thinking about the ways we can support the women in our lives—including ourselves—on a daily basis. This means demanding equality and respect in the boardroom, the courtroom, and, of course, the bedroom. After all, bell hooks herself said that to love women "all the way" means "respecting our sexual rights"—and that includes our right to pleasure. 

So, this month consider indulging in a vibrator or dildo so that you can better explore your needs and desires. In fact, there's no better time than now to look into expanding (or starting!) your sex toy collection: Woman-founded sex toy retailer Babeland is hosting a tremendous online sale in which you can take $25 off any order of more than $125 when you use the promo code MARCH25 at checkout. Plus, you can get free (and discreet) shipping when you spend at least $69 on the site. 

The best part? The brand is partnering with the National Network of Abortion Funds, offering limited edition merchandise whose proceeds go towards providing women in need with safe, affordable abortions. On Babeland's site, you can also easily add a donation as low as $1 to your subtotal when you check out.

Below, check out some of my favorite items from the sale. Could there possibly be a more pleasurable way to donate to women's rights? If there is, I've yet to find it.
