Ohnut is a revolutionary intimate wellness brand founded by Emily Sauer in 2018, creating the first wearable specifically designed to address painful sex. Born from Sauer's own decade-long struggle with pelvic pain and dismissive medical responses, these soft stackable rings allow couples to customise penetration depth for comfortable, enjoyable intimacy.
The Ohnut Philosophy
-
Inventor by Necessity: Founder Emily Sauer created the original prototype in her Brooklyn kitchen after years of being told to "just relax" by doctors who dismissed her concerns about painful intercourse.
-
Clinician-Designed Solutions: Now known as The Pelvic People, the brand collaborates with medical professionals, pelvic floor physiotherapists, and sexual health specialists to develop evidence-based intimate tools.
-
Ending Painful Sex: With approximately 75% of vulva owners experiencing pain during sex at some point, Ohnut breaks the silence around a shared experience that leaves millions feeling isolated and ashamed.
Ohnut Depth-Limiting Rings
The flagship Ohnut set contains four soft, stretchy, interlocking rings designed to control how deep penetration goes during sex. These jade-coloured rings are worn externally at the base of the penis or dildo, compressing during thrust to act as a comfortable buffer. Partners start with three rings linked together, adding lubricant before sliding the Ohnut into position.
During intercourse, users can remove or add rings to discover exactly what depth feels comfortable and pleasurable for both parties. The rings help address deep pain caused by endometriosis, pelvic floor muscle tension, post-surgical scar tissue, and numerous other conditions. Compatible with both water-based and silicone lubricants, these body-safe polymer rings work beautifully with items from our stretchy cock rings collection.
Kiwi Entry Pain Massager
The Kiwi addresses a different type of discomfort - the burning, tearing sensation that occurs at the vaginal entrance. Shaped like a comma, this multipurpose vibrating massager features different ends for external massage and a tapered portion for gentle shallow insertion. Kiwi encourages pelvic floor muscle relaxation through targeted vibration, addressing underlying physiological causes of entry pain. This tool particularly benefits those experiencing vaginismus, muscle tension, or anxiety-related tightness. The device makes progress feel genuinely pleasurable, transforming what was once dreaded into an empowering self-care practice.
Vibrating Ohnut and Bundles
The Vibrating Ohnut Ring combines depth-limiting functionality with powerful stimulation. Featuring seven vibration speeds and intensities, this water-resistant ring can be used alone or stacked with regular Ohnut rings. The Rumble Bundle pairs the vibrating ring with the classic four-ring set for complete customisation. The Complete Package includes everything needed for comfortable intimacy - Ohnut rings, Kiwi massager, and the vibrating ring. These comprehensive bundles pair wonderfully with items from our cock rings collection for enhanced couples play.
Accessories and Support Products
Oh Naturale Organic Aloe Lube provides plant-powered lubrication with velvety smooth, long-lasting formula perfect for extended intimate sessions. The Ohnut Storage Case keeps rings organised and protected for travel, because comfortable sex should happen anywhere. Playdate Cards offer couples a playful way to explore intimacy through guided prompts and conversation starters. The brand also partners with HelloGina for comprehensive vaginismus support programs combining physical tools with educational guidance.
