About Lauvette
Lauvette is a Philippine sexual wellness and femtech brand founded in 2019 and headquartered in Makati City, Philippines. The company specializes in sexual wellness products, including sex toys, lubricants, condoms, BDSM accessories, menstrual care products, and intimate lifestyle items. Lauvette positions itself as a modern, educational, and stigma-free platform that promotes sexual health, body positivity, and pleasure for all genders and sexual orientations. [1]
The brand has become one of the largest online sexual wellness retailers in the Philippines, combining e-commerce with educational content and advocacy initiatives. Rather than operating solely as an adult store, Lauvette markets itself as a comprehensive sexual wellness company focused on improving conversations around intimacy, reproductive health, and self-care.

History
Lauvette was founded in 2019 by lawyer and entrepreneur Renz Rollorata-Schuster. The company began as a small online business operated from the founders’ condominium, where orders, customer service, and marketing were managed by a two-person team. Recognizing the lack of accessible, trustworthy sexual wellness resources in the Philippines, the founders expanded Lauvette beyond retail into education and advocacy. The business later grew into a dedicated warehouse and office operation with a significantly expanded team and product catalog exceeding one thousand items. [2]
