OMG, You Guys Have to Hear This!
Hey everyone! Your Seoul-based bestie is back with some seriously buzz-worthy news. So, you know how Viagra has been a thing for men for, like, forever? Well, the internet here is going crazy over reports of a new ‘female Viagra,’ and honestly, it’s about time! The headlines are all saying this new product is a topical cream that starts working in just 10 minutes. How insane is that? Even though it’s an American product, it’s a huge topic of conversation here in Korea.
So, What’s the Actual Tea?
Okay, so let’s get into the details. This new product is a cream called ‘DARE to PLAY,’ and it was developed by a US-based women’s health biotech company, Daré Bioscience. The magic ingredient is Sildenafil, which is literally the same active component that’s in Viagra. Instead of a pill, it’s a topical gel that you apply directly, and it’s designed to increase blood flow and enhance arousal. The fact that it works so fast—we’re talking 10 to 15 minutes—is what has everyone totally shook.
Why This Is Kind of a BFD
Think about it—the little blue pill for men came out almost 30 years ago! For decades, the focus has been almost entirely on male sexual health, while women’s needs were kind of put on the back burner. According to the company, something like 20 million women in the U.S. alone deal with issues related to sexual arousal, so this isn’t a small problem. Seeing a company finally create an evidence-backed product like this feels like a major step forward in leveling the playing field for women’s wellness. It’s not just about sex; it’s about acknowledging and providing solutions for female health issues that have been ignored for too long.
Can You Get It Though?
Here’s the catch for now. The product is being rolled out in the United States, but it’s currently only available for pre-order in about 10 states. The Korean articles mentioned it costs about $10 per use. It’s also important to know that while it’s being sold, it isn’t officially FDA-approved yet and is available as a specially compounded drug. Still, it’s the first product of its kind, and it’s definitely paving the way for more innovation in women’s health. I’ll totally be keeping an eye on this to see when it becomes more widely available!
