Wendy Maltz M.S.W. developed the HealthySex™ nightshirt in 1991 to help survivors of sexual abuse and others understand healthy sexuality. The nightshirt evolved from a workshop exercise in which participants brainstormed positive qualities of sex.

The HealthySex Nightshirt™ consists of thirty-three positive affirmations attractively arranged in a multi-colored design with hearts, a sunrise and a rainbow. It is white and made of high quality 100% soft, pre-shrunk cotton.  One size fits all (best within the range of women sizes 6-16).  Machine washable and dryable.  Hand-drawn calligraphy and silkscreening. The cost is $35.00 (includes shipping and handling)  A few shirts remain for sale.    You may contact us for information of how to order a nightshirt.
