who the
vögeln
are we
the vögeln story began with a life-changing diagnosis of the cervical cancer strain of HPV. This personal experience ignited a passion for challenging stigma and redefining sexual wellness, leading to the creation of vögeln™
We recognise that condoms, while essential for safer sex, often neglect individual needs and preferences. We asked ourselves, "Who are condoms actually good for?" This question spurred our mission to create sexual wellness products that cater to everyone's unique needs and desires
HPV and the vögeln™ backstory
I'm Katie, Founder of vögeln™
I've always been on top of my cervical screenings and even had the HPV vaccine. But at 37, I found out I had HPV strains that could lead to cervical cancer
Regular screenings potentially saved my life.
My journey was a wild ride - I was anxious, scared, and unsure about the whole situation, but connecting with others who had gone through similar experiences made me realise just how common HPV and the cervical surgery to remove the affected cells from the cervix really is.
I discovered that while condoms are important, they’re not so great at preventing HPV. Plus, chemicals in (some) condoms and lube can mess with vaginal tissue & the microbiome, which can increase infection risks.
Frustrated by the current products on offer and the stigma around pleasure, I created vögeln™. Our vision is to help close the gender gap in sexual health and health research. vögeln™ is all about a more equitable future - safer sex & pleasure for all bodies.
So, keep up with your cervical screenings - screenings save lives.
It saved mine & could save yours!
