Amy St. Germain believes midlife should come with more “oh yes” and less “oh no.” That realization hit somewhere between a hot flash and a late-night Google spiral, when perimenopause arrived without a manual. After learning that up to 50% of women in midlife stop being intimate with themselves or their partners, Amy drew her line: perimenopause might take sleep and patience, but not pleasure. That’s when she created Oboo, a pleasure-forward brand for midlife women. Oboo flips the script on silence and shame, offering products, tools, and open conversation to help women reconnect with their bodies and joy. Amy’s mission is simple and radical: replace the rules you were handed with ones you actually want to live by, and reclaim wonder, desire, and pleasure in midlife.
