THE PPU GURU STORY
I came from very humble beginnings. Born in a family of 11 siblings, I learned at an early age to be self-sufficient. I learned to read early and used that talent to think about things and life beyond my present condition at that time, and I still do. I had dreams of creating things to make life better for my family and myself.
In 1997, I was watching the movie Booty Call. (I know, right??) At first, I thought the name of the movie said it all. However, after watching the movie and paying attention to the dialog, I realized that there was a powerful message embedded within the humor.
​
The message was "safe sex practices". That movie gave me a new perspective about honest and open discussions concerning the nature of human sexuality. It's the taboos and norms that are accepted and/or rejected within modern-day society around the world.
​
Later that night I had a dream that quickly became a vision. I could see the design of a pair of underwear that would have made that movie five minutes long. Underwear with two stylish pockets, just right for discreetly carrying discretely condoms and dental dams. I saw the PPU GURU™ name sewn on the briefs and a logo that I didn't understand at the time. I quickly jumped up and drew what I had envisioned.
It took until 2003 for me to move forward with this brand. I was living in Miami at the time and finally had the time to dedicate to this product. I called an invention service company, and did the initial filing, but unfortunately, I became injured and had to put my new-found excitement on the back burner.
​
Fast forward 20 years and PPU Guru is here! Now more than ever is the time to embrace our briefs, with the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the criminality that could follow. And according to statical data, in 2022, there were more than 19 million reported cases of STIs and STDs in the U.S. alone.
​
PPU GURU can have a positive impact on the lives of people that could suffer the most, young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 years, just when life is becoming more independent and adventurous. To have that happen can be devastating.
​
I am invested in this product, which is why I personally funded the research, development, design, manufacturing and marketing of PPU GURU's underwear. It's time to be better educated and aware of our sexual health. This is my contribution. PPU GURU is poised to bring to the underwear industry a product that is fun, comfortable, stylish and functional. We want to create a movement towards a more open and honest approach to the human condition in a loving and caring way to promote better sexual health.
Serendipitous seduction: If it is to be, it's up to me.

Stay safe,
