Does your bedroom set the stage for connection—or does it feel more like just a place to sleep?

A little preparation can go a long way toward boosting intimacy and pleasure. Think of this as your Pleasure Checklist—seven essentials that can help you feel confident, comfortable, and more connected (hello, better orgasms!).

Here’s what to add to your nightstand (and why each item matters):

1️. Lube—The Ultimate Bedroom MVP

Problem: Friction, discomfort, or lack of natural lubrication can ruin the moment.
Solution: A high-quality lubricant like Swiss Navy Water-Based or Silicone Lubricant keeps things smooth and heightens pleasure. Want extra fun? Try Playful Flavors for a sweet twist.
💡 Pro Tip: Water-based is great for toys and easy clean-up, while silicone lasts longer and adds a silkier glide.

2️. Toy Cleaner—Because Hygiene Matters

Problem: Bacteria can build up on toys (and no one wants that).
Solution: Use a Swiss Navy® Toy & Body Cleaner after every use. It’s designed to protect both your toys and your body, making intimacy safer and worry-free.

3️. Enhancement Products—Boost Sensation & Confidence

Problem: Sometimes you need a little extra help to feel your best.
Solution: Try MAX Size or VIVA Cream to heighten arousal, increase blood flow, and bring back that spark. Confidence = better connection!

4️. Quality Toys—A Little Variety Goes a Long Way

Problem: Bedroom routines can get… predictable.
Solution: A curated selection of toys can add adventure and excitement. Start simple or explore new sensations together. (P.S. Always use toy-safe lube!)

5️. Lighting & Atmosphere—Set the Mood

Problem: Bright overhead lights can kill the vibe.
Solution: Keep your room cozy with soft lighting, candles, or even twinkle lights. When you feel comfortable, connection happens more naturally.

6️. Comfortable Bedding—Yes, It Matters

Problem: Scratchy sheets and uncomfortable pillows are major distractions.
Solution: Invest in bedding that makes you want to spend more time in bed. (Pun totally intended.)

7️. Your Spontaneity Drawer—Be Ready Anytime

Problem: Nothing kills the mood faster than rummaging through the closet for essentials.
Solution: Keep your lube, toys, condoms, and wipes in one easy-to-grab spot. That way, when the moment strikes, you’re ready.

Your Bedroom Reset

A well-stocked bedroom isn’t about being “extra”—it’s about removing barriers so you and your partner can focus on each other.
