In India, sex is still a taboo and pleasure products tend to exist under the radar. Wanting to change this belief, Tanisha and Aashish founded Sangya Project. From vibrators to vibrating rings to plugs, these sexual lifestyle products are aimed to take your solo play or partnered play to the next level. All the products are tried and tested by the founders so you can be sure of their functionality. What’s more, Tanisha and Aashish also chat with customers to help them understand the products and usage. The goal of Sangya Project is to reconstruct common perceptions of sex and sexuality so every voice can have a platform. Head over to their page where no conversation is off limits.
