Low Libido? Why & How We Created a Libido Supplement, Afternoon Delighters!

Oh You're listening to the Girls Get Off podcast, an R18 podcast on all things female pleasure. Think girl talk, but real girl talk, where we chat all things masty, self loving, sex, orgasms and more. Nothing is off limits, which means you get all the secrets even our guests BFFs don't know. We're on a mission to make talking about getting off as fun as actually doing it. Ready to join the Mastination? Let's get into it. 

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Girls Get Off Podcast. How are you Viv? Viv's been like, god bloody marathon running and stuff since we've talked to last. I know we've missed a couple of weeks on the podcast. We've been here, there and everywhere while I have been anyway and I'm feeling good. I'm back. I'm excited. I spent time in Japan. Everyone told me Japan's amazing. The food's so good. It's like such a cool experience and I didn't really think much of it until I got there and I thought I get it now. I understand what they mean. I feel like I have a whole new appreciation for Asian tourists who walk around and take photos of stuff because that was me, you know, in reverse. Taking videos of people walking their dogs in prams at the park or just in 7-Eleven. It was just hilarious. I had such a good time. And you ran a marathon while you were there. So fun. And ran the marathon. That was also a highlight. Oh, such a game changer. That was wicked. Yeah, Viv is definitely the runner out of the two of us because I will not be doing that. I love it. What's been happening with you, Jo? Any dates? You had someone slide into our DMs and didn't someone slide into our DMs? No, that was into mine. It was so creepy. Like, what did they say? Do you drive a VW? Like no profile picture, no nothing, just like no context behind it. I'm like, ugh, like giving the creeps. Please don't be creepy people. Yeah, a little bit of context would have gone a long way in that situation. Cause, and it was like a Chris 7, 8, 7, 5, like randomly generated username as well, wasn't it? It's not like it was a someone's profile. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Fun, fun. Can't wait to attract like the good humans. One day we'll get there. I love it. And today we wanted to do a podcast all about. The product that is kicking off right now. I don't think we've, like, I mean, Didi went off, right? And Didi is still getting amazing reviews. She's super popular, but this is unlike any product we've ever launched before. No, it's wild. And where do I even start? We knew it was a big issue for people, right? So we developed this product. our audience in mind. And well, I guess we did that with all our products, but you know what I mean? Like this was specifically to solve a problem and that was lack of libido. I think, I think we asked the question, we asked us on stories, like two years ago, like this was a long time ago. And we said to everyone, like, what's the one thing that would improve your sex life and other than people replying and saying someone to have sex with, or if my husband did the dishes, everyone was like. libido, like I've got huge struggles with the libido, libido after kids, libido after being on different medication. Like it's such a huge, hubby's libido, such a huge problem. Yeah. And so this is when we started working on it. We knew then that, okay, this is something our audience needed. And it has been two years in the making. And yeah, we went, a lot of research went into it and Initially, you know, like to keep with the fun brand stuff we wanted to do gummies and, you know, just something nicer about chewing a sweet gummy rather than swallowing tablets. But surprisingly, we found out that to get the like amount of ingredients we needed, because first of all, we wanted this product to work, right? Like no point. Yeah. Like for us, that was the biggest thing. And so. Or we needed the level of ingredients that all the studies and research was behind. And it's just impossible to get that amount into gummies. Like impossible. So we needed, I think the formulation was like 800 milligrams per tablet or something we needed, and they were pushing to get 150 milligrams or something into a gummy, like that's how big of a difference it was. Yeah, because gummies just, you can't have, yeah. You can't smush enough ingredients into the gummy. Yeah, totally. And keep it gummy-fine. Yeah, yeah. And then we also looked at, like, you had the idea for those, like, heart-shaped effervescent little, you know, like a barocca, but in a heart shape, because we had those love heart lollies years and years ago. I think we did a promo with them, didn't we? And we thought, oh, that'd be so cool. You could have that in the morning. And that one didn't pan out either. Yeah, I don't know what happened with that, but I'd just prefer to down a couple of tablets, you know, rather than have to have a certain drink every morning. Yeah. Like, yeah, I find it easier to do that. Yeah. So two years later, thanks to the legend Chris from brand nation slash has a, what do they call it? Like a manufacturer, a supplement manufacturing thing came rescued us. Again? I don't know. Well, over the two years, we worked with specific people who formulate products like this to make sure that it's all ready for market, make sure you have the best ingredients, make sure it's going to be as effective as possible. So that's where throughout the process we were going, what form do we want this to be in? For example, gummy or so on, but also what ingredients do we want? And what we then did was go and talk to people who could actually make it for us. And so Chris has been a legend. But one of the things about the process, which I thought was really interesting, and I think that that- rings true in a lot of other areas, is there would be different ingredients, and MACA is one of those, as an example that's in our current product, where to put, to find an ingredient and put it in a libido capsule, to then be able to say, this supports libido for women, you have to have that ingredient at a certain level, and there has to be a certain amount of evidence and research done on that ingredient at the certain levels for you to then go and say, yep, this has got, you know, you can use... This product includes Macca and that will support your libido or blood flow or whatever. Interestingly, there are a lot of ingredients out there and the research hasn't even been done on women. So there's enough research to support a lot of claims around like male libido and desire, but Macca is one of those ingredients that's in our product and although there is like, although there's plenty of evidence for it for men, there's like, there's only really limited information on it. for women, so we can't specifically say that specific ingredient is great for women. So it's just, it's been a journey, I think, going on that path and being like, like you, you for example, have always said like, Macca makes you so horny, you don't even have it in smoothies, you know, like, I know, I was going to say like, when we first started this, I was like, oh, just put Macca into a capsule, like, that's it, that's it, that's all you need, because I actively avoid drinking anything with Macca in it. Like, It honestly, I can tell if I've ordered, you know, protein smoothie or something from somewhere an hour later, I'll be like, they put Maca in that. Like it worked for me so well. So yeah, surprisingly, this isn't even one of, well, they're all kind of main ingredients to be fair, but yeah, it's only one of quite a few. It's fourth on the list, but yeah, I think the major one is horny. goat weed that's in there as well. I think it's definitely the people we worked with to formulate this was so great because it pulls everything together. Like I think if you just have horny goat weed by itself, you know, like, yeah, it might make you feel horny or something, but then we've got like the ginkgo in there too to give you the energy to do something about it. Like I think this is just an all round. Oh, was it ginkgo? No, sorry, the ginkgo is a blood circulation, isn't it? Don't worry, I'm not professional here. I've got it here. So corny goat weed, that's to support for men and women to support kidney, energy, and sexual desire. We've got ginkgo in there, which is for blood circulation, mental clarity, and general wellness. We've got the Korean ginseng in there, which is for vitality. The Macca powder is, again, only really limited studies done on women, so we won't be making any specific. female claims with that ingredient. But for men, Great for men. is used for vigor and energy stamina and sexual health increased libido with some stress and mood benefits as well. And then you've got ashwagandha too, which is the final ingredient. And it's more to do with stress, helping you relax, maintain and support emotional wellbeing and aid assist, help with relaxation, calm your nerves. Possibly helps to maintain and support healthy sexual function, but that's more along the like, you know, relaxing path. Yeah. Which is so important as well, hey. Yeah. But I was telling Viv before this, so when I tested it, and we'll go into this a bit later, but I did a bit of a test for it and I didn't go into, it was on our stories and like it kind of took me by surprise a bit. And I ended up not going into much. detail because you know, you don't know who's going to be watching our stories and stuff. So I said, Oh, I'll go into more detail in this podcast. And then I was reading the blood circulation thing and I'm like, that's it. Like you can literally feel, I want to say the blood flowing through your fanny, but like, obviously not like that, but like fanny flutters, like tingles. I was honestly, I was like, I dunno, I reckon it was like walking through a cemetery down there. It was that dead. Like I haven't felt anything in so long sober, but yeah. And then it like all of a sudden just to feel, feel again. It's wild. So what did you do for your tits though? Because we decided that. you're the least horny person at the moment. So you were the guinea pig for the On Stories live testing. Yeah, yeah. And so, you know, we based this formula, you know, we had in mind, it's a long-term supplement, right? So it wasn't ever meant to be a quick fix. It's like, you would've did it well before, hey. It's gonna take, like, on average, it'll take a month. Like, if everyone's really different. It may support your libido. It may not work for everyone, but on average, it's going to take a month to work. So we didn't expect anything until that month, Mark. Yeah. Yep. So I did a chart. I guess I was more hopeful and thought three weeks. I'm like, surely after three weeks, I'm going to be feeling something. So I did this, this chart on a board and I did 21 days, did certain testers that I was going to be doing each day. And one was just how I felt when I was. When I woke up, like just the initial feeling, which was always at a zero. Number two was the SG effect. Go and follow the love drive, Sean Galanos, who we end up mentioning on every freaking podcast. Who can I, yeah, we'll circle back to that one. Keep going. Yeah. You'll know why he's on there. And then what else was on there? Oh, erotica. I had to watch some erotica or read some erotica each day and then give it an overall score. So, day one was like zero, Sean Galanos got like, oh, and the erotica, like a slight bit of feeling and then nothing out of the ordinary. Woke up day two, nothing out of the ordinary, still a zero, still, oh, that day Sean had posted something ridiculously, I don't know. It got him an extra point anyway. And then on day two, I hit... lunchtime and like somebody wrote in review and they said, I literally felt the drip. And do you remember that? Yeah. Well, no joke. I forget what I was doing, but I was just like, that's me getting wet. Like you could literally feel the difference. And for somebody that has not had any feeling in years. Like it's just like a standout, you know, like anyway, so yeah, that girl wasn't lying. I totally believe that she legit felt a drip. That's so funny. And then what about day three? Just reading my board. Sorry. Um, that pulls out day three. I decided to battle on, didn't I? Yeah. And I woke up, so I woke up still. Had I had a, oh, that's right. I woke up, I had a lot going on and I was like, you know, I think that's. normal. I got attested in the weekend because I was woke up in school and go, you know. And then somebody thought it was funny. I did some stories and oh, Sean, that's right. I went to watch Sean's thing and I did stories and I was like, I feel like a real creep now. I don't actually want to just look at him to see if I get horny. Like this, it just felt creepy. What are you going to say? What day did he post the get ready with me? And he Like one of the frames was him walking away from the bedroom with his bum. Yeah, that was two days after, after this. So on this day, I posted a story and I'm like, come on guys, give me some other inspo that I can do instead of the Sean Galanos effect, cause I feel creepy. And anyway, somebody wrote in and sent a photo and I was like, okay, now I'm wet. I couldn't even score it out of 10. But anyway, then I see that- Are you talking about some random sent you a photo or are you talking about the photo that Sean sent? No, I was getting back to the Sean thing. That was somebody from, yeah, somebody sent us a DM with a video of, I don't know, some account. It was the woodchopper. Yeah, that's right. People would send you my woodchopper accounts, different shifts. Yeah, and they were just being assholes basically, trying to, you know, cause I didn't need any help at that stage. I was trying to concentrate anyway. Then I noticed SG in the bloody DMs. And I was like, I am not reading this. Oh my gosh. I'm so mortified. There's, I went back. He had seen all the stories, including the one that I'm like, I'm like a creeper. Yeah. So he'd gone back and looked at everything and then slid into the DMs, which I was too scared to look at. I was waiting for Viv, but I think you were you at T-Swift? Yeah. I was out or something and I said, sorry, you're on your own. I'm out. I know. And then, so at 3am, I somehow got the courage to open these DMs and he had kindly sent a little help. He sent a photo and he sent some exclusive content and said, for your eyes only or something didn't he? Then two days later he did like a get ready with me reel and Viv was like, oh gosh. Because I think by that stage, I think we were having a cool one day and I said, are you going to do the libido stories or how horny are you or something? And you said, I'm not doing it anymore. I can't do it. I know day four was it. I was like, I... Honestly, I got to the stage where I was going to make bad life choices. So I don't know, there was a painter at my house and I'm talking to this painter and I'm like, I think I got in the car after and I said your message, didn't I? I was like, I literally don't know whether I was just horny or the painter's hot. Like, I don't know. And then day four, I was fricking trying to stalk who this painter was. Like I'm literally looking up all these painting companies, trying to find out who this painter was. I don't have time for this. Like this is not me getting ahead in life right now. And the last thing I need, the last thing I want. And so I was like, no, no. So imagine, can you imagine if I started talking to anyone right now? Like I don't have time for myself. Oh, I love it. So that's where the, that is where the experiment ended essentially. Yes. A hundred percent. Yeah. A hundred percent. Yeah. I was committed and I was going to. take one for the team and carry on. But I'm like, no, not to the extent where it's going to like, fuck up. I think what you said to me was I said, what like, what bad life choices are you going to make? And you were like, I was about to start downloading dating apps. Like you're about to go for it. Yeah. And, but the thing is, I think it took, people were asking, did it just, when you stopped taking them, did it just end? And the answer is no, I'm pretty back, like this was a couple of weeks ago now. And I'd say I'm pretty much back to normal now, but it's like muscle memory or something, right? Like now that it's kind of like had its little flicker on, it's just kind of reignited something, but I'm still like, I'm not feeling like I was when I was taking them, like that was stupid, but great selling I'm doing. And I think that's why, like, we've been posting a lot of reviews where people have started to feel the effects in three days, four days, a week, two weeks, but then we've also had people freaking out in the DMs saying like, I've been taking them for two weeks and I'm not feeling anything. So I feel like it's just a good reminder there that everyone is so different and on average, it's going to take a month for them to start working. But we're also, we are seeing a lot of people who would like just cracking on from the get go. Yeah. And I think there was somebody. It was a bit bittersweet. She was similar to me. She was kind of like fucked off, but that they're working so well, but hubby's happy and I was like, I get it. I get it. It's like, I know someone messaged in the DMC the other day and a mutual friend of ours and said, Oh my gosh, I'm like, I'm actually worried. We're going to have a third baby now. And she's like, and someone asked to you, I haven't shared it to story. Oh, I'll tell you later. Share it with me. Yeah, I'll tell you later. And then the other day, someone messaged saying, you're going to have lots of babies called Viv and Joe in 2025 because people are out there doing it. And watch those names spike. Yeah. That's so funny. And I also wanted to talk about the different reasons why people might be experiencing a drop in libido. And I think sometimes, you know, there's a lot of external factors, but From what we know from our audience, there's like this whole, like I think sometimes people message and go, oh, I'm kind of like, I've kind of had a drop in libido because of this reason. And you know, our response is always like, that is so normal. You know, there's PCOS, menopause, perimenopause, sertraline, like you've been taking Joe. There's just like an array of different reasons as to why it might be happening. Yeah, I think anxiety, depression meds are probably the biggest. Hey, like that's, they even warned. me, I think when I was going on certainly and I've been on certainly in a few years and they even warned me at the time that it, you know, most probably going to affect that and, you know, I was single, don't care. Sweet, just get rid of this anxiety. So yeah, I wild, but that was one of the reasons why I thought it was going to, you know, take weeks. And I think especially when you've had like a. Especially when you have that comparison as well. Like I feel like everyone's so different in general and maybe some people aren't horny all the time, but if you've come from a place where you were getting it on lots with your partner and then something has changed for whatever reason, I feel like that makes it even harder. Yeah. I think a lot of that, we hear that a lot, hey, even just from like kids and just life that is so, oh, how many people honestly say they used to have a, they used to have a great sex life, but now it's gone down like. Just so many external factors, like so many things contribute to it. And I feel like, yeah, I was just the best tester at the time because I swear I had so many of those things going on, like just exhaustion, kids, 24 seven, you know, like sertraline. So no, we are getting perimenopausal women and women going through menopause. And. polycystic ovaries, we are getting them to test because it was great to know that, you know, like, okay, I'm taking sertraline and this obviously they're checking with the doctors and everything first, you know, like in case they're on other meds or whatever, or if they are on other meds, but no, it'll be good to be good to see just how far this little tablet can help. And when we were doing all the research and looking at all the other options on the market, There aren't, like this is such a big issue, but there's not really anything that's really well marketed. There's some on the market here, and when we were having our formulators look at it, they were like, actually, that product shouldn't even be targeted towards women because the ingredients in it don't actually have the supporting evidence to say, like they have the supporting evidence for men, but not for women. Or there's the odd product, or you might be able to buy like horny goat weed on its own in some places, but. In terms of like putting together a really comprehensive formula at the levels that we've done, there's not much on the market. Ours is completely different to anything that's out there. Yeah. But it was like, as you say, it was so important that we, you know, smooshed as much of that good stuff that's gonna fingers crossed work for you. Yeah. And that's actually- Into those tablets. Yeah. And it leads us to a good point. the comment around like, oh, this is really expensive. How much, how come it costs so much? And I will say for that reason, because we've used high quality ingredients at such high doses. And it's also, there's also another reason in there as to why we won't do like sample packets or anything smaller than the bags that are like a month's worth at the moment, because we don't want to sell you 10 pills or something. And then you think it not works, but really it takes on average a month to work. So we've had a few questions about that as well. So just clearing the air there too. Yeah. I also had a comment the other day that, oh, that's so cheap. I was like, oh, lots of people are saying it's more expensive than they thought. And they were like, huh, cheaper than a night out. And I only get one good time a month. And I was like, okay, feck all. Yeah. And again, I think it's like our toys, right? A lot of people will say that's really expensive, but then if you look at the market as a whole, there's actually products on the market that are like $99 a month, not the price that we've got afternoon delighters at it right now. You might be comparing it to something that is at the pharmacy or the supermarket that again, when you look at those ingredients, it's not really comparable. Yeah. For us, it was a product that worked over anything. So we have done the best that we could. Yay. And you can get them online now at girl or.co.nz wherever you are shipping to. If this is released in three days, that statement is accurate because we are currently sold out. But no, yeah, can't wait to see where these are going to take us. It feels good having people so excited about it. And if you are taking them already and you have some feedback for us, or you want to leave us a review and you want to give us. a photo of you holding the bag of afternoon delighters as well. We're still looking for a few more reviewers that we can use in some of our advertising and I'll send you a month's supply for free. Just send us a DM at Instagram and yeah, we can go from there. Amazing. Yay. Cool. Thanks for listening guys. We'll see you back here next week. Stay horny. Love it. Thanks for listening to another episode of the Girls Get Off Podcast.
