Bedroom Essentials & Games

Lube, cleaners, storage, massage oils, dice and card games — the unglamorous half of the shop that makes the rest of it work properly.

Lube, which matters more than it sounds

Water-based is the universal option: safe with every toy material and every condom, easy to wash out, though it dries out and wants topping up. Silicone lasts far longer and is excellent in water, but will ruin a silicone toy on contact. Oil-based breaks down latex condoms entirely. If you own one bottle, make it water-based. The lube guide covers the rest.

Cleaning and storage

Toy cleaner is quicker than soap and water, though soap and water is perfectly adequate for non-porous materials. What genuinely matters is drying properly before storing, and keeping silicone toys from touching each other — silicone against silicone can react and leave both tacky. Individual bags solve it.

There’s a printable cleaning schedule if you’d rather not remember.

Games

Dice and card games are a low-stakes way into things you’ve been circling but not saying out loud. That’s most of their value — the game gives you somewhere to put the suggestion.

Discreet as standard

Plain, unbranded packaging and a card statement that gives nothing away.
