The Venus Mat: A simple idea, beautifully realized.

 

The Venus Mat is an absorbent, waterproof and washable mat that keep stains or wet-spots off the bed linens.

 

We've been perfecting this practical product for a few years and there's still nothing quite like it on the market.  But we're not counting humiliating hospital pads, over-the-top sex blankets or old towels...

Women deserve better so we created the Venus Mat.

No more wet spots.  No more stained sheets or mattresses.  No more worries traveling during your cycle. 

 

Who needs it?  

Venus Matters to women who are tired of the old, "out, out damn spot!" 

 

Venus Matters to new mothers who already have their hands full with leaky babies without all the extra laundry. 

Venus Matters to teenage girls who shouldn't have to worry about staining the sheets while taking on the responsibilities of becoming young women.

Venus Matters to perimenopausal women who tend to have night sweats and heavy flows —making sleep-time unnecessarily stressful and uncomfortable. 

Venus Matters to female ejaculators (estimated at up to 10% of women) who may be awash in shame about something their bodies do naturally.  

Venus Matters to women and men who just want to have more fun in bed â€”without the added mess

 

"The Venus Mat is just what I've been looking for!   I use it for diaper-free time with my 5-month-old, then throw it in the wash and use it for after-hours lovemaking sessions with my husband.  It folds up and is easy to travel with, plus it's beautiful—instant atmosphere,  anywhere.  From playtime at the park to playtime in the bedroom, I use it every day.  It's perfectly designed and delivered."

~Becca Fresco

 

 

                                                                   

 

The Details:

We've searched long and hard to find the best materials to make the Venus Mat safe, beautiful and responsibly produced.  That's why we're making it right here in the USA with fabrics guaranteed to meet or exceed safety standards.   Sure, we could have gone the cheap and easy route overseas but that's not in alignment with our integrity or our mission.  
 
We want to bring something beautiful into the world and do it right.

 

"There’s a sense of safety with the Venus Mat that allows us to be more intimate. We can have our attention on each other —not our bedding." 

~Erik Bryan Slavin and Michelle Palmer

 

                                                                               

 

 

The Impact:

Did you know many teenage girls consider menstruation an embarrassing, or worse, forbidden topic of conversation?  Or that some cultures prohibit women from cooking or even praying on their cycles?  Worldwide, billions of women still lack the necessary means to make sovereign choices about their bodies, and far too many are married as children or enslaved by the sex industry.  

 Once established, Venus Matters promises to give 10% of our net profits to support women's reproductive health —and happiness— worldwide.     
                                                                              

 

 

"These soft and beautiful mats allow women to experience the most natural parts of our lives with care, with privacy, with ease, and with dignity. " 

 

                  ~Melissa Michaels, Ed.D., founder and director of Surfing The Creative®                           International, the first contemporary youth leadership rites of passage                           program rooted in dance.
