What Are Sexual Bedroom Essentials?

Sexual wellness and pleasure go beyond vibrators and dildos. These essentials help set the mood, enhance intimacy, and ensure you have the best experience possible. Some of the most popular categories include:

  • Lubricants – Water-based, silicone, anal lube, flavoured options & more.
  • Massage oils & candles – Turn foreplay into a sensual, relaxing experience.
  • Sex enhancers – Performance boosters, arousal gels & intimate sprays.
  • Adult games & gifts – Spice things up with fun and flirty play.
  • Condoms & protection – Stay safe with reliable, high-quality options.
  • Sex toy cleaners – Keep your favourite toys fresh and hygienic.
  • Latex care – Polish and maintain your latex clothing.
  • Storage solutions – Discreet and hygienic ways to store your toys & gear.

Why Quality Matters

Not all lubricants, massage candles, or sex enhancers are created equal. Some contain irritating ingredients like glycerine and parabens, while others offer luxurious sensations that take your pleasure to the next level. My detailed, no-nonsense reviews help you find the best products while avoiding the duds.

Cock Candy Strawberry Flavoured Lube Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£5.25
Brand:
MEO
Shop:
MEO.de
Materials:
Water
...seeing the MEO Cock Candy collection had me very intrigued and I gave into temptation. The Cock Candy Strawberry Flavoured Lube comes in an easy squirt bottle, I think if it was a pump option I wouldn't have been as impressed as these sometimes can be a little difficult to fiddle with in the heat of the moment but no, it makes things super easy to drizzle and gives just the right desired amount.

System JO Strawberry Oral Delight Arousal Gel Review

3 out of 10
I have never tried any type of oral gel before, however, I was game for my first time when offered the opportunity to road-test this System JO Strawberry Oral Delight Arousal Gel.

System JO Clitoris Stimulating Gel Wild Review

1 out of 10
Price:
£12.95
A red and black box entered my life, looking very professional and, I must admit, quite impressive. The System JO Clitoris Stimulating Gel (Wild) was clear, unscented and slightly oily. I thought I was off to a good start! No unpleasant smell to put me off, no strange colour that would make me question the ingredients, it seemed like a good start.

System JO Coconut Oil Hybrid Lube Review

9 out of 10
The System JO Coconut Oil lube is a thing of wonder, for so many reasons. Firstly, I wonder what the instructions and warning say on the side of the bottle; the font is so incredibly tiny I am completely unable to read it, and am now waiting for an appointment with my optometrist.

DONA by JO Kissable Massage Oil Review: Chocolate Mousse

6 out of 10
The DONA by JO Kissable Massage Oil (Chocolate Mousse scent, Aphrodisiac and Pheromone Infused) proves too much of a good thing can actually be a bad thing. When I first saw The DONA by JO Kissable Massage Oil, my first thought was ‘ A bottle that small wont last long!’ To be fair it is a small bottle but boy was I wrong!

System JO Sex Toy Cleaner Review

9 out of 10
I was delighted to be given the opportunity to test out and review the System JO Sex Toy Cleaner. It comes as a 50.3ml pump dispenser bottle which would make it perfect for taking on travels but I have discovered that it tends to leak unfortunately. The blue and white packaging of the bottle is very unassuming, other than for the red writing 'toy cleaner' on the bottle you wouldn't really know what this was.

System JO Coconut Oil Hybrid Lube Review

4 out of 10
Cara Sutra chose me to review the silicone-free System JO Coconut Oil Hybrid Lube. I was interested in it due to its ingredients. It claims to be a fusion of water and coconut oil. I haven't tried coconut oil as a lubricant but I've heard lots about it, so naturally I was curious.

Cock Candy Vanilla Flavoured Lube Review

1 out of 10
Price:
£5.25
Brand:
MEO
Shop:
MEO.de
Materials:
Water
I jumped at the opportunity to review the Cock Candy Vanilla Flavoured Lube from MEO for the Cara Sutra sex blog. I am always curious about flavoured gels. I like to know if they make any difference to myself or my partner during oral sex.

Cock Candy Cherry Flavoured Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£5.25
Brand:
MEO
Shop:
MEO.de
Materials:
Water
I squeezed a good amount of the Cock Candy Cherry Flavoured Lube on to the penis, what I thought was the right amount to use. I was really expecting to get that awful chemical after-taste you usually get with these kinds of products - you know the one I mean, the one that leaves you gagging for a drink to take the taste away. To my utter surprise this oral sex gel is really tasty and actually tastes like morello cherries.

System JO For Men Pro Longer Desensitising Spray Review

9 out of 10
I was honoured to be selected to review System JO For Men Pro Longer Desensitising Spray, and even more so as this is my very first review :)

System JO Hybrid Lubricant Review

8 out of 10
Overall the System JO Hybrid Lubricant is a nice, almost gel like lubricant which covers well and lasts a good length of time, I did not have to reapply during any of my sessions despite only using a small amount. As a bonus, the handy and compact 30ml sized bottle means it could slip easily into an overnight bag for fun on the move.

MEO Extreme Anal Lube Review

6 out of 10
Price:
£15.00
Brand:
MEO
Shop:
MEO.de
On the cold toys the MEO Extreme Anal Lube was quite thick and I needed, what seemed like, a lot to cover them to my satisfaction. On first insertion the lube was a little “grabby” and not as slippy as I would have liked, but it go better as it warmed up. It became obvious at this point that the numbing effect is only skin deep and didn’t affect the inner sphincter muscles.

Durex Sexlection Gift Box: Sexy Selection Box Reviews

8 out of 10
The brand is best known for their ever-reliable condoms, various types of sexual lubricants as well as introductory sex toys. The launch of the Durex Sexlection Gift Box is an exciting entry for Valentine's Gifts and Christmas Gifts for couples. I hope to publish more sexy selection box reviews here at the Cara Sutra sex blog shortly.

DONA by JO Kissable Massage Oil Review: Chocolate Mousse

7 out of 10
This DONA by JO Kissable Massage Oil (Chocolate Mousse flavour) drew my interest because it was labelled as a pheromone and aphrodisiac oil, and I was very intrigued by the thought of a massage oil that might turn me on. I’ve always ‘suffered’ the age old dilemma after a lovely long massage, of either falling into a satisfied slumber or rolling over and giving my OH the ride of his life. My hope for this massage oil was to help tip the stalemate between sleep and sex in favour of the latter.

System JO For Women Kiss Buzz Vibrating Lip Gloss Review

6 out of 10
System JO is a brand better known for its wide array of lubricants, gels and oils, but here they have expanded their repertoire and added this very intriguingly-named lip gloss into the mix. System JO For Women Kiss Buzz Vibrating Lip Gloss. When you go onto their website, there is not much of a description supplied for this particular product, so I didn't know entirely what to expect.

System JO For Women Agapé Water Based Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£5.95
Brand:
System JO
Materials:
Water
The System JO For Women Agapé Water Based Lube mimics my natural wetness and is a pleasure to wank with. It doesn’t go tacky, a little goes a long way and it leaves no residue afterwards either. It kinda comes out slightly gel like and melts.

System JO H2O Black Licorice Flavoured Lube Review

5 out of 10
Price:
£10.50
Brand:
System JO
Materials:
Water
As soon as I opened it (you have to unscrew it for first use so you can remove the hygiene seal) the scent hit me, and it was not the scent I was expecting. This smelt really intensely of aniseed, and I was strongly reminded of when I was employed as bar staff in a working men’s club and all the little old dears drank Pernod.

System JO H2O Red Licorice Flavoured Lube Review

7 out of 10
Price:
£10.50
Brand:
System JO
Materials:
Water
When I opened the bottle the faint strawberry scent reminded me of something but I just couldn’t put my finger on it. The taste was quite sweet but had a weird slightly aniseed aftertaste that made it taste kind of medicinal. I’m not sure I’d buy it again but I didn’t dislike it. One for quick blow jobs rather than lingering ones I think.

Cock Candy Strawberry Kiwi Flavoured Lube Review

Price:
£5.25
Brand:

Though not as glorious as its sibling, Pina Colada, the Cock Candy Strawberry Kiwi Flavoured Lube is one of the most authentic tasting oral sex gels out there.

Cock Candy Pina Colada Flavoured Lube Review

Price:
£5.25
Brand:
MEO
Shop:

Materials:
Water
My desire to give all the blow jobs recently went through the roof. Why? This Cock Candy Pina Colada Flavoured Lube from MEO. The stuff is delicious! Seriously, if it was even remotely sensible I’d be happy to stick it and a shot of Bacardi in a glass and slam it. I’ve had pre-packaged Pina Coladas that weren’t nearly as tasty as this, and although it has the same kind of sweetness you get from a pre-made cocktail, you don’t get the artificial, chemically aftertaste associated with many flavoured lubes. Bonus!
