Norms, the brand destigmatizing hemorrhoid care, is preparing to open the doors to its Norms Clubhouse in SoHo this week, and this first-of-its-kind space aims to make "down-there care" as normal as grabbing a coffee—in fact, on-site, guests can actually look forward to sipping Graffeo Coffee as they engage in stigma-free education and conversation.
The opening of the brand's first retail pop-up coincides with Hemorrhoid Awareness Month, and when visitors enter the shame-free community space, they can expect to discover a selection of maximum-strength, FDA-compliant hemorrhoid relief products and pick up members-only buttons and conversation-starting stickers. Once a week, visitors can also make the most of expert guidance from Norms' NYC Clubhouse GI doctor and get answers to hemorrhoid care questions they might otherwise be hesitant to ask.
