Sex toys: where do we even begin?! - with Rach, from LBDO

Welcome to Episode 234 of Beyond the Bump! Today, we're chatting with Rachel Baker, the founder of LBDO, all about sex and intimacy. We reckon these topics are huge parts of parenthood often brushed under the rug, leading to heaps of shame and guilt.
Our Bumpies have flooded us with questions about sex and intimacy, so we're tackling them head-on. Questions like, "Help! I feel like I've totally lost my libido post-kids. Will it ever come back?" Or "What do you do when you and your partner have mismatched sex drives?"
We hope you enjoy this episode!
