Charlie Brooks is a multitude of things; actor, reality queen and soon to be entrepreneur. Yes, our thespian is turning her hands to more enterprising pursuits. She’s designed a vibrator, but not just any old sex toy. This is groundbreaking stuff.
In this unfolding documentary series, we follow Charlie as she brings a product of her own design to market. But with no business experience and plenty of self doubt, this isn't going to be an easy ride. Speaking to experts, educators and entrepreneurs along the way, Charlie is breaking down stigma around female pleasure and doing a service to all womankind as she goes.

Customer Reviews
Amazing!….More please!!!!
Highly recommended, listened to this all in a day, it was Great. Charlie Brooks has a lovely hosting style and it’s been put together really well. Inspiring to hear the journey from concept to fruition of the host’s idea. Super informative and inspiring. As a businesswoman, brand owner and creator of my own range of products, I really enjoyed listening to this podcast as I could completely relate. I would recommend it to anyone else looking to start a business for themselves. Hopefully Charlie Brooks and Ann Summers can create more podcast content in the future consisting of new product testing and launches in the U line, as well interviews from women in the industry.
Great show - well worth a listen
From a little idea in her bedroom to a full
blown launch, this show is definitely worth a listen. Charlie’s passion and worries are obvious throughout and it’s hard not to get wrapped up in the story. Looking forward to the final couple of episodes!
Open and intriguing
Haven’t listened to a podcast like this before. Charlie is a great host and I think this is a fantastic idea - thank you for being open about such a stigmatised subject.
