There are two types of adult toy lovers out there in the world. The first tends to own one toy at a time, reach for it as needed, and store it someplace like a nightstand drawer. The second type loves toys so much and sees so much potential in collecting them that they maintain a full-on pleasure collection.
If you’re the second type, then you probably already know your way around a good toy shop. You’ve given all the major toy categories a try, and you know all the tricks for getting the absolute most out of each one. But if you haven’t yet added a stash of essential products and accessories to your toy chest, as well, there’s still plenty more to experience.
Are you all stocked up on the following essentials? Which ones sound like must-have additions to the way you and your partner like to play?
1. Lubricants
If you still think of lube as something to reach for strictly when it’s absolutely necessary, you’re doing yourself a real disservice. Yes, lubes can definitely be a big help when Mother Nature just isn’t coming through for you. But it also helps intensify pleasure and convey sensation anytime, whether you’re getting down and dirty with a partner, a toy, or even just your own hands.
And there are so many different types out there to try and fall in love with. There are extra-thick, ultra-pillowy formulas that are ideal for anal play. There are cooling and warming lubes that bring interesting new sensations to the table. Scented and flavored lubes help turn sex into a truly delectable experience. There are even numbing sprays that can help you go the distance when it really counts, as well.
2. Toy Cleaners
Granted, you don’t need dedicated cleaners for most toys, as simple soap and water work just fine in most cases. But it’s not always convenient to jump up with your toy and make a beeline for the sink every time it’s time for a wash. A good spray-on, wipe-off toy cleaner is a great product to have on hand for those situations.
Picture it. You’ve got a simple go-to way to give your toys a quick once-over before their next use. You can clean your toys as you know you should before sharing them with a partner or switching from genital stimulation to anal play. Toy cleaners are great for traveling, as well, since you can never be sure how easy it will be to keep your favorites clean when you’re away from home.
3. Massage Oil
Never underestimate the sensual power of incredible scents and sleek textures when it comes to your intimate experiences. Sure, you can treat your lover to a decent massage without a good massage oil, but it’s really so much better with. Long-lasting moisture helps your hands glide over their body like a dream come true, as well as leaves their skin feeling incredible after.
Plus, nothing gets a person in the mood for more quite like a delectable, exotic scent. Massage oils are incredible ways to put just the right finishing touches on any romantic occasion or seduction scene. So, add a few to your pleasure chest and prepare to experience a whole new level of arousal.
4. Body Paint
If you’ve been looking for a sexy, new way to worship your lover’s sublime shape during playtime, you’ll love what body paint brings to the table. Scented, edible, body-safe paints are beautiful ways to build anticipation for the main event while bringing your creativity into play. They’re also the perfect excuse to turn enjoyment of your lover’s body into a multisensory experience.
Body paint goes wonderfully with other extras like edible body powder, body sprays, and similar goodies, as well. So, mix and match your favorite items, and keep plenty on hand for a fun go-to way to spice up any love session or romantic occasion.
5. Desire Enhancers
Even the sexual dynamos out there have days when they might like to explore even further possibilities. Desire enhancers like pheromone sprays, vitality pills, and delay creams can help you finetune your repertoire to the tune of incredible results. Use them to help overcome sexual sticking points or experiment once in a while just for fun.
You never know when something specific might strike your fancy and become your new ride-or-die product, so it pays to try different things and keep a supply of your favorites around on an ongoing basis. Start with the suggestions above, but don’t be afraid to browse every nook and cranny of your favorite sex stores for even more great ideas. Variety really is the spice of life, and there’s no place on earth where that’s truer than the bedroom!
