Older, Infertile And Proud of It

Menopause is “like puberty in reverse, only you have more money and far less acne,” says The Great Big Book of Menopause. Such clear skin could be the result of fewer hormones. Or perhaps it’s the work of Infertility Goddess soap, distributed by Leopold Ketel & Partners for Emerita, a marketer of women’s natural healthcare products.

One recipient likened the soap to “a melted gummy bear,” but it’s modeled after the Venus of Willendorf, an icon of prehistoric art and a fertility symbol.
