Stripes Beauty Expands Advisory Board with Leading Experts in Women's Health

• Stripes Beauty, Naomi Watts' pro-aging wellness brand, has grown its Strategic Advisory Board
• The company is joined by two well-respected women's health leaders Dr. Cindy Meston, and Dr. Somi Javaid
• This growth cements Stripes Beauty's devotion to women's wellness and pro-aging solutions

Stripes Beauty, Naomi Watts' wellness brand focused on pro-aging, has enlisted the help of two world-distinguished voices for women's health as members to its Strategic Advisory Board, namely Dr. Cindy Meston, Ph.D., and Dr. Somi Javaid, MD, FACOG. Release on Vagina Appreciation Day respects the company's ongoing effort towards moving menopause and sexual well-being science-backed care.

Sexual health and menopause are tragically under-served in medical research and product formulation. Vaginal dryness is felt by up to 90 percent of women at menopause, but too many avoid treatment from shame or embarrassment. Stripes is committed to flipping that on its head by getting the best minds in the business talking openly, improving treatment, and providing intelligent solutions for women's changing health concerns.

Dr. Cindy, Professor of Clinical Psychology and Director of the Sexual Psychophysiology Lab at UT Austin, is a prominent expert on women's sexual health with three decades of trailblazing work in the psychology and physiology of women's sexual function. She is accompanied by Dr. Somi, board-certified OB/GYN and founder of HerMD, who is a vocal advocate for menopause health and women's sexual health.

As co-chairman and COO, together they will oversee Stripes in its scientifically-backed product formulation, clinical research, and education initiatives intended to care for women physically, emotionally, and sexually.

"Women need scientifically sound solutions and feminine products designed in accordance with changing feminine needs," declared Dr. Cindy. "I look forward to being part of Stripes as it breaks down taboo topics, enhances sexual satisfaction in women, and provides better care for more women."

Dr. Somi continued, "Menopause is a substantial life change for a woman, but still under-served. Stripes is bridging the gap with science-driven solutions and honest talk about vaginal and sexual health—something we need every day, not just Vagina Appreciation Day."

Naomi, Stripes' Chief Creative Officer and Founder, said this expansion is an organic next step in the mission of the company. "Stripes have long existed to care for women through every stage of menopause with integrity and expertise. Bringing Dr. Meston and Dr. Javaid onto our advisory board further solidify our dedication to science-driven care and honest talk about women's sexuality."

Stripes Beauty Global Brand President Cara Kamenev also reaffirmed the same, stating, "Science informs everything we do—from our products to our cultural messaging. With Dr. Cindy and Dr. Somi on board, we're doubling down on vaginal health and making a bold move forward in fulfilling our commitment to care for women the way they deserve to be cared for."

By gathering together world leaders in medicine and wellness, Stripes is making a very loud statement: women's sex lives matter, must be talked about, and must be resolved with innovation, empathy, and open dialogue.
