Andrea and Evi are the Rotterdambased entrepreneurs behind a gorgeous new sex toy designed not only to bring us pleasure but to shed light on discrimination towards female wellness products, too. Launched in lockdown, Obii is soft, squishy and giving censorship the middle finger.
Tell us about Biird and how the brand was born.
ANDREA:
Evi and I have worked together for years but primarily we’re friends who are massive advocates for sexual health and freedom. We’re both fully involved in the industry but kept finding there were no products that ticked all our boxes or ones that stood out for us, so we started chatting about launching our own. EVI: Bringing Biird to life was a team thing. We had been playing with the idea for quite a while, until suddenly all the pieces of the puzzle just came together and everything made sense. Biird and Obii have been in development for some years now, but this year we made the leap – yes, in the middle of a
pandemic. No time like the present – and launched this past summer.
