Monica Chang (she/her)
Marketing Lead, TENGA Co., LtdTokyo, Japan
"Hi! I’m Monica, from Taiwan but currently residing in Tokyo, Japan. On weekends, I love to cook and eat good food (of course!), as well as unleash my creativity through makeup and other mediums."
If iroha was a musical style, artist, or song?
This was a hard one, but after perusing all the options that came to mind, when I think of iroha, I kept coming back to Good Days. Good Days has a chill vibe, yet if you pay attention, you’ll find the lyrics expressive. SZA believes in working on achieving a state of mind where you focus on your good days, which aligns with iroha’s ideas of self-care, looking after yourself, and working on achieving a positive mindset.
What would you say are iroha's core values – what makes you, ‘you’?
iroha’s mission is to redefine pleasure, by supporting and assisting women to not be afraid to indulge in self-pleasure and understand that masturbation is natural. We hope to create items that bring positive attitudes toward sex and sexuality for women. Support women in exploring and understanding their sexuality while still keeping their preferred level of discretion.
What makes iroha a Top Shelf brand?
We pride ourselves on creating and designing items that our users can feel comfortable owning and using. At the same time, we hope to use our platform and products to help normalize masturbation.
Plus, you are supporting a brand that was created by women in the hope to break the taboo and redefine self-pleasure.
Tell us about one of iroha's stand-out products and how it prioritizes pleasure…
While both the iroha MINAMO and iroha+ KUSHI are our fan favorites, the iroha+ KUSHI is just a little bit more special in terms of the unique and elegant design. Which is something iroha prides itself on.
The distinctive design and shape allow the user to be creative in how they want to use the product. For example, the pointed tip can be used for pinpoint stimulation, while the ribs create dynamic sensations.
On top of that, all iroha products are easy to clean and store. For example, the iroha+ KUSHI has a nice storage container that allows you to charge and display it at the same time. Not only can you enjoy using it, but you can also enjoy displaying it too.
Why is it important to support Top Shelf brands?
By supporting Top Shelf brands, we believe you are actively participating in normalizing the conversation around masturbation and sexuality. Just like iroha, many Top Shelf brands bring high-quality products that support sexual wellness and more. And we love that!
What does pleasure look like for you?
To me, there are so many ways one can feel pleasure. Pleasure is very personal and different for everyone. For me specifically, pleasure is about the small things that make you feel good and satisfied. It could be a nice self-pleasure session, surrounding yourself with people who make you feel good about being yourself, or just enjoying a nice dinner and dessert.
Any last words?
Personally, I hope to create a society where everyone can feel comfortable with their sexuality and express it however they want, loud or discreet.
I also hope iroha will be able to help more people in redefining their pleasure.
