Where Intimacy Meets Feel Good: A Spotlight on Araks & Maude

As two female founders passionate about wellness, design, and feeling our best in every sense—what we wear, how we move, how we care for ourselves—we’re always seeking out brands that make everyday rituals feel elevated. Few do that more seamlessly than Araks and Maude.

We’re pairing them not just because of shared values, but because together, they redefine what intimacy feels like. From the fabric that grazes your skin to the slow rituals that ground your day, these two brands speak the same quiet, modern language: comfort, care, and confidence—without compromise.

It’s intimacy as a lifestyle, not a moment. And we’re here for it.

Araks: Intimates with Intention

Founded by designer Araks Yeramyan, Araks has become a go-to for effortlessly elegant lingerie, loungewear, and swimwear—anchored in sustainability and an artistic approach to color, form, and function. The brand brings a painter’s eye to minimalism, with palettes that surprise and silhouettes that feel timeless yet current.

From barely-there bralettes and high-rise panties to silk slips, cotton tanks, and sculptural bikini tops, Araks creates essentials that are meant to be lived in—not just worn. Each piece is a quiet celebration of self-expression, designed to make you feel grounded, beautiful, and at ease.

   

Why We’re Obsessed

x Artistic Design: Every piece plays with color, texture, and shape like a curated canvas—striking, yet never overdone.

x Sustainable Practices: Crafted with organic cottons and low-impact silks, each garment respects both body and planet.

x Everyday Versatility: From bralettes that peek out of button-downs to sleepwear you’d wear to brunch, Araks isn’t just for the bedroom—it’s for life.

Maude: Wellness For Your Inner World

We’ve introduced Maude before—and they continue to be a wellness intimacy brand we love supporting. Like Araks, Maude is rooted in intention: how you care for yourself, how you unwind, how you move through the most personal parts of your day.

The brand offers a curated lineup of intimacy and wellness essentials—from pH-balanced body washes and daily probiotics to massage candles, lubricants, and beautifully designed vibrators. Everything is made with clean ingredients and a gender-neutral, minimalist design language that elevates form and function.

While Araks wraps the body in sensual softness, Maude takes care of what happens beneath the surface. Their products invite you to redefine intimacy on your own terms—with ease, beauty, and no apologies.

Why We’re Into It

x Modern Minimalism: Chic, clean packaging meets functionality you’ll actually want to use—every day.

x Inclusive by Design: Made for all bodies and all identities, Maude makes intimacy feel like home.

x Wellness-First Formulas: pH-balanced, non-toxic, and body-safe—no harsh ingredients, no weird scents, no drama.

x Sustainable Intent: Thoughtfully sourced, ethically made, and built to last.

Maude Favorites

x Soak No. 3 Made with hand-harvested salt crystals from the Southern Dead Sea, these bath salts are rich in essential vitamins and minerals. They nourish, rejuvenate, and soften skin—ideal for a long soak when you want to slow down and reset.

x Wash No. 0 A pH-balanced, fragrance-free cleanser that nourishes without irritation—perfect post-beach, pre-bed, or after slipping out of your favorite silk bralette.

x Burn No. 2 – This soy-based massage candle melts into a warm, skin-softening oil with notes of pink pepper and cedar wood. Whether solo or shared, it turns small moments into something sacred. We tried it—and yes, it’s staying on our nightstand for good.

x Base – A daily probiotic designed to support urinary tract health, immune function, and digestive balance. Smaller pill, major feel-good payoff. We’ve been taking it ourselves and love how seamlessly it fits into a daily wellness routine.

x Shine Organic A lightweight, aloe-based lubricant designed to complement Maude’s vibe: modern intimacy that’s gentle, inclusive, and easy to reach for—literally and emotionally.

x Oil No. 0 A luxurious, unscented body oil made with certified organic jojoba, coconut, argan, and castor oils. Use it for daily hydration, a calming massage, or added to your bath for soft, supple skin from head to toe. A multi-use hero for minimalist routines.
