9 Essentials for a Sexier Night
In partnership with our friends at Dame Products
You know what they say: An orgasm a day keeps the doctor away. That might not be true, but a healthy sex life can do wonders for our overall well-being. Whether you’re alone or with a partner, any night can be a magical one with the right roster of mood-elevating room essentials, pleasure-inducing body oils, and the best toe-curling toys. Slip into something nice, turn on the soft beats, and let the rest follow suit.
1
G SPOTTING
This vibrator has been sold out for months, so if you’ve been eyeing it, now is the time to add it to your nightstand. And if you want only one vibrator (but who does?), this is your best bet for both external and internal stimulation—the soft tip feels amazing. It’s also made with Dame’s strongest motor yet, featuring five speeds and five different vibration patterns, so you’ll want to press play over and over and over again.

GOOD FLEX
If you’re trying to grow your collection (we are here for this), you won’t regret the Pom. We love it because it’s so small—it doesn’t look like a vibrator—but it packs a lot of punch. With five speeds, five patterns, and a super bendable design, you can hug the Pom close to your vulva and let it move with you. It fits in the palm of your hand, so you’ll almost forget that it’s there, which is a good thing if you’re getting down with a partner.

ORAL REPORT
You might not think that writing and reflection can help you reach an orgasm, but hear us out: Are there things you want to explore that no one’s ever asked? Or you’ve never asked yourself? This journal is designed to increase intimacy and connection, with prompts for you and your partner to fill out individually and then together. Do it right after doing it to find out what felt good and how you can deepen your experiences.

UNDRESS
AND UNWIND
Before you hit the sheets, take some time to soak off any lingering stress. Once you emerge from the bath, you’ll feel renewed, your spirit will be centered, and you’ll be ready for an evening of excitement. Better yet, why not get it going in the tub? Those vibrators we mentioned are both waterproof, by the way. And we don’t make the rules.

SMOOTH MOVE
After the bath, dab a bit of this body oil on your wrists and neck, or use it all over for dewy, soft skin. It’s made with coconut, shea, sweet almond, and hibiscus-seed oils, so it feels and smells incredible.

LIGHTEN
THE MOOD
A candle that needs no introduction—even the box it comes in is exhilarating. The fresh scent is even better: The blend of ripe cassis berries, mood-lifting grapefruit, wet Turkish rose petals, and grounding gunpowder black tea is vibrant and unexpected. You’ve never smelled anything like it. It’s subtle and seriously sexy.
7
CHIC LUBE
Having a water-based lube is important when using sex toys because oil-based formulas can damage them as well as latex condoms. We love Nécessaire’s Sex Gel because it’s friendly with our vibrators and clean and fragrance-free. Plus, the bottle looks sleek and classy on your nightstand.

TOUCHY
SUBJECT
If you’re with a partner, nothing beats a massage (except an orgasm, but you can do that part alone). A good massage oil can turn any night into the sexiest ever, and this one smells amazing—there are hints of rose and bergamot—and feels like silk. Use it liberally.

ROOM KEY
The key to a sensual night is making it feel special and luxe. To liven up your bedroom, mist your sheets and pillows with this room spray made with blissful botanicals and gorgeous-smelling essential oils of jasmine, patchouli, and ylang-ylang. Each bottle is hand-blended with rose quartz crystals for positive and loving energy.
