Gwyneth Paltrows New Vagina Candle Will Fund Fight for Reproductive Freedom

When our reproductive rights are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back, and maybe buy a nice Goop candle while we're at it.

In her latest subversive-vaginal-melting-wax endeavor, Goop mogul Gwyneth Paltrow announced the Hands Off My Vagina Candle in honor of the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that protects a person's right to abortion. Now, anti-choice crusaders across the nation and in the halls of our government are poised to overturn the decision.

The new scent follows the success of Paltrow's This Smells Like My Vagina and This Smells Like My Orgasm Goop candles. She plans on donating $25 from each purchase of the $75 Hands Off My Vagina Candle to the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation's Reproductive Freedom Project. Donations will be made until July 1 or until the candle sells out.

"The word 'vagina' holds a lot of power. And yet, there is a recurring need to say: Hands off," Paltrow wrote on Instagram, captioning a photo of the new candle. "Hands off our vaginas in any context where they're not invited. Your reproductive organs; your choice. In honor of the anniversary of Roe v. Wade on January 22, goop will donate $25 from the sale of each limited-edition candle sold on goop.com and in our retail stores to the ACLU Foundation's Reproductive Freedom Project.* Head to the link in my bio for more information on ways to aid in the ACLU's urgent and critical fight to protect our rights and basic freedoms."

Per the website, Hands Off My Vagina smells of coconut milk and damascena roses, along with notes of raw vanilla, hinoki cypress, and toasted cacao.
