Bedroom Essentials Reviews

Bedroom essentials reviews tell you all you need to know about everything which is sex-related but isn’t strictly a sex toy or adult product. This category of adult reviews is so wide and diverse that you may find it easier to use the main menu to navigate to the exact sub-category that interests you.

What sort of adult products come under the label of bedroom essentials, then? There are romantic gifts, adult games and sexy edibles. Sex enhancers and erotic massage -such as massage oils and erotic massage candles- also get the honest review treatment. I must say that I love a good massage candle, and there is a world of difference between a cheaply made type and the massage candles that are worth investing in.

Let’s not forget those bedside drawer must-haves: condoms, sex toy cleaner and LUBE. There are so many different types of sex lubricant available, so enjoy reading through the many honest reviews for water-based lube, silicone lube, anal lube and various other formulation types. Some people can be sensitive to some lubricant ingredients, such as glycerine and phthalates, so it’s important to read up on exactly what’s in the lubricant you use with your sex toys and during sex.

Love your latex clothing? We have reviews for both latex cleaner and latex shiner. Make sure you’re properly prepped for anal sex or enjoying your anal sex toys, by reading reviews for anal douches. And how do you store your adult products, BDSM gear and other bedroom accessories? You’ll even find bedroom essentials reviews for sex toy storage solutions here at the Cara Sutra sex blog.

Brand:

Massage candles are amongst my top favourite bedroom accessories. I love how they effortlessly combine a relaxing visual & scented ambience with hands-on sensuality.

ONE Vanish Hyper-Thin Condoms Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£9.99
Materials:
Latex
Firstly, thanks to Cara Sutra for sending us this pack of ONE Vanish Hyper-Thin Condoms to review on the blog. We’ve recently started to use condoms again and after not using them for so long we weren’t used to the loss of sensation condoms can cause. We hoped this 12-pack of thin condoms would shift the balance.

ONE Oasis Water-Based Lube Review

ONE Oasis Water-Based Lube Review

5 out of 10
Price:
£7.99
Materials:
Water
I didn't actually know prior to this review that ONE made anything other than condoms, so I was curious to see if the ONE lubricants were worth raving about or not. I haven't been impressed with other condom brands that have branched out into lube in the past, but I hoped this would be a different story.

Liquid Silk Opaque Water Based Lube Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£2.40
Materials:
Water
It stands to reason that a lubricant that takes it’s name from one of the finest materials on Earth should attempt to live up to that reputation of luxury and care. And it does. The Liquid Silk lubricant is, simply, one of the finest personal lubricants you’ll ever have the pleasure of using.
Earthly Body Strawberry Edible Massage Oil Review

Earthly Body Strawberry Edible Massage Oil Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£16.99
Materials:
Oil
This oil is strawberry flavoured and is designed as an edible massage to ensure an erotic and romantic massage. Although I have a smaller size bottle, the full size bottle of Earthly Body Strawberry Edible Massage Oil you can buy through the links contains 236ml - so it's a decent size for if your planning a night away with some goodies and has an easy unscrew lid to allow access to tip easily onto your partners back or where else you might fancy…

New York Toy Collective Love Bump Vibrating Ball Sack Review

7 out of 10
You can really enjoy the feel of a heavy set of balls slapping against you when you are having a vigorous play session. When I fitted them to a dildo on one of my Fucking Machines it really did hit the spot – there is something so feral about receiving a good pounding and having a heavy set of balls bouncing off your clitoris.

Boy Butter Original Oil Based Personal Lubricant Review

Boy Butter Original Oil Based Personal Lubricant Review

Price:
£7.95
Shop:
SheVibe
Materials:
Oil
The lubricant provided a really smooth feel, and was somewhat sheeny in its appearance but really did not feel sticky or feel like it left too much of a residue after use.  The Boy Butter Original Oil Based Personal Lubricant was fairly long lasting and did not require much of any reapplication during use and did provide quite a consistent slide to it for a a good period of time.

Price:
£12.99
Materials:
Latex
The relationship may have come to an end but my love of sex and play has not and my skin to skin play is on hold for the time being so I was in need of plenty more condoms! As it would happen Cara's sex toy tester program had just started and she required a reviewer to test out the Mates SKYN Natural Condoms which I was more than happy to volunteer my dick for.

Brand:
Lubido
Shop:
Bondara
Materials:

The first thing you can’t miss about the Lubido Hybrid Lubricant is the colour and we love it! The white colour makes a pleasant change from other lubes and its likeness to cum adds to the excitement. The bottle has the Lubido branding with purple bubbles and a pump action dispenser including a handy safety clip to avoid any unwanted squirting.

Often if I’m doing a bit of online shopping of the risqué nature I will just add a bottle of lube “just in case” or “it always comes in handy!”  Along comes the lubricant we have today, the Lubido Aloe Infused Anal Ease Lubricant to give it its Sunday name.

ID Glide

My first explorations in the world of lube drew me to the popular and easily-found Durex range. Through my years of reviewing sex toys, sexual products and pleasure enhancers, I discovered and still love the Sliquid lubes for masturbation and sex.

Brand:
ID Glide
Materials:

I grabbed the chance to try this ID Glide Pleasure Tingling Sensation Lube as I haven't tried this brand before. I am not a stranger to tingle lubes, in fact I have a large variation of them from light sensation to ones that would burn the bits off you.
