It’s no secret that we at SheKnows love a good vibrator (or, more realistically: 100+ good vibrators). So I’m thrilled to introduce you, dear reader, to my one of my new besties in the clitoral vibe world: Stella. When I first heard our sisters over at STYLECASTER teamed up with one of our favorite sex toy retailers (Ella Paradis) to create the vibrator of their dreams, I immediately knew it was something I wanted in my collection (preferably ASAP)....

Though posts to the “AITA” section of Reddit often make us cringe at selfish human nature, every once in awhile we come across a really serious dilemma we can’t ignore. This week was a doozy, when a pregnant woman took to the online forum to get advice on a disagreement she’s having with her husband over whether to reduce her fetuses from three to one. “My husband is opposed to it because he feels it is wrong to ‘pick and choose,’ even though we wouldn’t be doing it by gender (too early to tell anyway and even if it wasn’t, the doctor would just do the reduction the way he feels is the best way to do it) and he is excited about the idea of having a large family,” the woman wrote....

Buying a house is a major decision and one that should not be taken lightly. If you’re thinking about it, whether it’s because you want more space or you’re sick of renting, there are definitely signs to indicate whether you’re ready to take the leap and if you’re financially able to support that decision. And while there are pros and cons to renting and buying, it’s important to understand that you will most likely need to take out a mortgage....

As a survivor of sexual assault, being “weird” about sex is far from unusual: Why wouldn’t we fear the act that was used as a weapon against us? Or, as Sarah Melancon, Ph.D. and Clinical Sexologist, asked over the phone: “If you survived an airplane crash, nobody would be shocked if you had a phobia of flying after that, right?” Right. But my fear-of-flying (read: sex) feels unusual in the sense that it took years to develop....

If you’ve walked down a Target aisle, bought a toy for your pup at Petco, or sported a Calpak suitcase, it’d be nearly impossible to not see the name Joy Cho at the store. The founder and creative director of her namesake lifestyle brand, Oh Joy!, is the queen of colorful collaborations with all your favorite brands, and that’s just a small fraction of her multifaceted business.

After last Friday’s SCOTUS ruling that overturned the landmark case Roe v. Wade, the fight for reproductive rights feels more urgent than ever. 50 years worth of federal law protecting reproductive health care and ensuring people who can become pregnant have bodily autonomy was swiftly taken away, and now citizens and public figures alike are calling for action....

The amazing new Barbie DreamHouse is here, and your kids will totally want to shrink down to live in the super-chic and fun digs. Just beware: Your littles ones may start questioning why your actual home isn’t as well organized as Barb’s place. With soft grass and plush blankets, a party room with a light-up DJ stand, a BBQ that transforms into a dessert buffet, and customizable light and sound with eight different colors, three songs, and two soundscapes, Barbie’s 2021 DreamHouse pretty much puts anyone’s actual house to shame....

Ensuring your child eats the right, nutritious foods to support their healthy development is challenging enough. But throw a tricky eating habit into the mix? In the words of Prince William, “If you put something on the table [the kids] don’t want to do, that’s another ballgame.” Mealtimes with picky-eater kids can be beyond stressful. Research published in Eating Behaviors Journal shows children can develop specific eating patterns from the toddler age — something that originates back to our caveman days of foraging for non-poisonous foods....

Do the words “potty training” invoke a sense of impending doom for you? Yeah, me too. Because here’s a fun fact most parents learn the hard way: Even if your kid is pee trained, it doesn’t mean they’re poop trained! And even if they’re great at the potty in the morning, the chances of that wearing off by naptime? Pretty strong. Yup. If you’re considering just keeping your little one in diapers until they’re old enough to reason with, you’re not alone....

It’s been a tense week at Buckingham Palace as the royal family scrambled to negotiate a plan for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s future. Now, Buckingham Palace has released an official statement declaring an end to negotiations — and the outcome may surprise you. Harry and Meghan are giving up their royal titles, will no longer receive public funding, and will repay the taxpayer funds used to renovate their home in Windsor....

When it comes to her health, Rita Wilson has been through it in recent years. After a diagnosis with double breast cancer — leading to a double mastectomy — in 2015 and, most recently, the highly publicized case of she and her husband (Tom Hanks) being one of the earliest confirmed cases of celebrities diagnosed with COVID-19. In an interview with Health for their June cover story, Wilson went in on the health challenges she and her family have overcome and how they’ve affected them....

It turns out, having a former vampire slayer for a mom doesn’t always have its perks. Sarah Michelle Gellar and husband Freddie Prinze Jr. have decades of experience on camera — including recent hits like Do Revenge and Christmas With You, respectively — but they aren’t quite ready for their teenage daughter Charlotte to follow in their footsteps. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer star recently shared the “unfair” rule they have for their 13-year-old, and it shows just how strict they are at home....

If you’re ready to start your TTC journey, predicting your ovulation and fertility window is a great first step. One easy, at-home way to do that is by tracking your body temperature with a basal thermometer. Your body temperature dips slightly just before your ovary releases an egg. Then, 24 hours after it’s released, her body temperature rises slightly and stays up for several days. Because the changes in body temperature around ovulation are as slight as 0....

Among the list of eco-friendly baby products, the first to come to mind is cloth diapers. Though the evidence to support whether or not cloth is better than disposable for the environment is still lacking, it’s worth a shot to see if cloth diapers are the right choice for your family (they’ll definitely be a solid option for your wallet). But here’s the thing: Cloth diapers could be great for the environment, but they’re not so great when it comes to the stink factor — poop and pee don’t exactly smell like summer daisies — and that’s where diaper pails for cloth diapers come in....

There are many dos and don’ts amid the novel coronavirus outbreak. Wash your hands, practice social distancing, and don’t ignore blatant guidelines issued by medical professionals. If those rules mean you end up missing your child’s birth, for example, that definitely sucks. But pandemic safety protocols are in place for a reason. If we want to stop the spread of COVID-19, we all have to make sacrifices. Why is it somehow so hard for some asshole dads to follow the rules?...
