Subtract petrochemicals and shame; add skin-care ingredients and the word “wellness.”

For one thing, intercourse has been a recurring theme in Aguilera’s creative work.
Aguilera does not call herself a sex symbol, but she is acutely aware of how she symbolizes sex.
“It’s a no-brainer that I’d do this.”
Allure:How’s your day going so far?
Christina Aguilera:Really good, really chill.
I’m excited about this.
This is something that is like a personal project for me, so it’s Oh, my God!
I just felt my shirt.
I reached back there to itch myself, and there’s a tag in my shirt.
Anyway…
Allure:I love the idea of a fresh garment on you.
Let’s talk about the project a little more.
How did you come to this opportunity with Playground?
Playground is by women, for women.
We know from experience what [sex] should feel like, how good it should feel.
When I was looking into the ingredients and testing the product myself, I fell in love with it.
So again, this is something that I’m wholeheartedly inside of.
Allure:Can you explain what that moment at 21 was for you?
Aguilera:I started performing at six or seven and doing theMickey Mouse Club.
So I have had this work ethic inside of me from a very young age.
So my sophomore album was calledStripped.
“Lady Marmalade” being extroverted and over-the-top and playing with glam and makeup.
I’ve never been one to shy away from new things and experimenting.
Can you tell me a little about the business behind the scenes and what your role was?
Aguilera:Well, I was drawn to what makes it different, what makes it special.
First of all, and again, I love that it’s made by women.
It’s pleasure, butit can also be painful.
It can be the birth of life.
The vagina goes through a lot, so we got to let it feel good.
We got to verify we pamper and nurture it.
We all need to be putting the same time and attention into our lower regions.
We don’t think about those things.
Aguilera:Well, I can account for loving to be a part of the testing process.
Love the textures, the different scents and things involved.
Each one has its own scent.
I love the names.
I thought they were really fun:Love Sesh,Date Night.
Date Night is my favorite.
I do that across the board, and I like safer approaches to everything.
We have conversations like, What’s a tampon?
What’s your period?
She’s eight, but education is everything.
Aguilera:There’s testing on myself, testing with a partner.
Exploring yourself should feel empowering and something that we all feel safe about doing.
Every woman is different.
Every one might gravitate toward a product for a different reason.
Some women have problemsachieving orgasm.
I mean, look, we all can be prone toyeast infections,vaginal dryness.
you might put it on yourself, your partner, you might put it on toys.
There’s things you’re able to do.
Have a good vibrator, you know?
Allure:Do you have a good vibrator?
Aguilera:I actually do.
There’s a brand calledLeloI like.
I try different ones.
Sorry I don’t want to swear at you, but when she’s passionate about something…
But yeah, no, I think maybe this is a whole different conversation.
Aguilera:We need to change the statistics.
There’s also a skyrocketing surge of depression.
We’re all consumed with our phones and things like that.
I think we need to step away and do more things for ourselves and connect.
But I think this should be something that is a part of every woman’s beauty routine.
It’s like a vitamin for yourself, and it’s an energy booster.
I think it’s a life enhancer, to be honest.
