Whether you're looking for ways to enhance pleasure, improve comfort, or add excitement to your bedroom adventures, you’ll find honest, in-depth reviews right here.

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.

LELO Personal Moisturiser Review | LELO Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£17.99
Brand:
LELO
Materials:
Water
You get a good squirt of LELO Lube with just one depression of the top, and the lube is clear and easily coats fingers, sexual areas or a sex toy without being too dribbly. You can pick it up with one hand and dispense the lube, so if your other hand is, um, busy - no problem. Just make sure you put it down within easy reach!

LELO Sex Toy Cleaner Review

10 out of 10
At £6.90 a bottle, this 60ml of LELO Sex Toy Cleaner is slightly more expensive than other sex toy cleaners available, but comes with LELO's assurance of quality as well as inimitable style while it's sat on the bedside table or on the bathroom shelf. There's no mention of sex toys or sex on the bottle, so no-one would even know the purpose, unless they're also a LELO fan of course!
Durex Embrace Pleasure Gels Review

Durex Embrace Pleasure Gels Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£9.99
Brand:
Durex
Materials:
Water
I received the new Durex Embrace Pleasure Gels in order to provide an honest and fair review for them here on the blog. This sexual intimacy enhancer pack contains two special effect gels, to be applied to the intimate areas of a person of any gender, to enhance physical sensations prior to or during sexual activity.

LELO Massage Candle Review (Black Pepper And Pomegranate)

7 out of 10
Price:
£18.95
Brand:
LELO
Materials:
Wax
I have been a long time fan of Jimmyjane Massage Candles and in terms of scent appeal the Yankee Candles are amazing. I have two Yankee candles on my desk to light in times of pressure, they really do ease the atmosphere and get me centred. Jimmyjane massage candles have featured in many of my sexploits through the years with both male and female sexual partners. Learning that LELO had created massage candles, a couple of years ago, I naturally wondered how they’d compare.
Sliquid Swirl Blue Raspberry Lube Review

Sliquid Swirl Blue Raspberry & Green Apple Lubes Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£7.99
Brand:
Sliquid
Materials:
Water
Both of the Sliquid Swirl Blue Raspberry & Green Apple Lubes I have come in tilt-top dispense bottles containing 125ml of lubricant. Colour coded, it's easy to tell which is which, even if you don't see the clearly marked labels. Depress one side of the top and you can then tilt and squeeze/pour as much lube out as you wish, whether on to a toy, fingertip or directly on to sexual areas.

Sportsheets Sex & Mischief Black Feather Tickler Review

7 out of 10
The Sportsheets Sex & Mischief Black Feather Tickler from Sportsheets adds a naughty sense of excitement to couples' foreplay. You can use it as a relaxation device, prior to massage, or use it to sexually tease and thrill, before sex.
Pjur Espresso Caffeine Enhanced Water Based Lube Review

Pjur Espresso Caffeine Enhanced Water Based Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£12.99
Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Water
I'm not sure whether it was a placebo effect, but I did feel much more tingly when using this lubricant for masturbation than my usual water based lube. Sure, I knew of the caffeine ingredient, but for me, I do feel that this lubricant is particularly stimulating. This is especially the case when used over the clitoris, during female masturbation.
Pjur Med After Shave Calming and Moisturizing Spray Review

Pjur Med After Shave Calming and Moisturizing Spray Review

10 out of 10
The Pjur Med After Shave Calming and Moisturizing Spray is alcohol and perfume free to lessen any chance of irritation on newly shaved skin. it doesn't have any scent and it states there's no taste to it either, although it's not edible (shock!) so I didn't taste it myself. This spray can be used by all, wherever you wish, even for intimate shaving areas.
Pjur Cult Ultra Shine Latex Shiner Spray Review

Pjur Cult Ultra Shine Latex Shiner Spray Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£21.99
Pjur have formulated a special latex and rubber shine spray which is easy to use and comes in a large size bottle. The Pjur Cult Ultra Shine Latex Shiner Spray is easy to dispense on to your latex and rubber items, simply squeeze the trigger once opening the nozzle, which is very similar to household cleaning fluid bottles.
Pjur Med Clean Intimate Cleaning Wipes Review

Pjur Med Clean Intimate Cleaning Wipes Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£9.97
Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Water
These Pjur Med Clean Intimate Cleaning Wipes can be used for all your sexual and intimate needs: a quick freshen up before sex, to clean up after sex, to wipe down your sex toys, mop up lube spillages, to cleanse a sticky lube or massage oil bottle... or if you're me, you can mop up coffee spills on the desk with them too. Oopsy.
Pjur Woman Toy Lube Review

Pjur Woman Toy Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£9.99
Brand:
Pjur
Materials:
Water
Pjur Woman Toy Lube is thicker than the standard water-based Pjur sex lubricants, and in fact lots of the standard sex lubricants I've tried previously, whether water based or silicone. I've found plenty of water based lubricants which are clear in consistency and much runnier that this.
Pjur Original Bodyglide Silicone Lube Review

Pjur Original Bodyglide Silicone Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£4.59
I received the Pjur Original Bodyglide Silicone Lube as one of the mountain of Pjur lubricants and bedroom essentials sent to me recently free of charge, in exchange for my fair and honest reviews. Pjur is a genuinely well-made brand of sex lubricants. Not only do I personally like the collection, Pjur has won industry acclaim from their peers with a variety of awards.

Lovehoney Chocolate Orange Lube Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£5.99
Brand:
Lovehoney
Materials:
Water
As well as the stream of 'it's not your lube, it's mine' jokes that this lube conjures by its very existence, it's also happily priced to be budget friendly at £5.99 for a 100ml bottle. The Lovehoney Chocolate Orange Lube is clearly labelled, with the Lovehoney logo on display, a description of the contents as well as a brief product overview and the ingredients list.

Lovehoney Strawberry Flavoured Lubricant Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£5.99
Brand:
Lovehoney
Materials:
Water
I find the taste surprisingly pleasant as well as refreshing, in a summertime way. This lube definitely livens up oral sex. It works well with sex toys, too, unlike some other sticky-style flavoured lubes - or to have within arm's reach for vaginal or anal sex. I would say the main purpose is oral sex though, as it's flavoured. Stands to reason.

Sliquid H2O Water-Based Lube Review

9 out of 10
Price:
£7.99
Brand:
Sliquid
Materials:
Water
It made for a nice wet, slippery playtime! I could see why so many people like Sliquid; I really liked it too. It is a nice, thick, quality lube. I also thought it felt natural, like my own lubrication, just a bit slicker. It really is the most natural lube I think I have used.

Sliquid Sassy Lube & Sliquid Sea Lube Reviews

9 out of 10
Price:
£7.99
Brand:
Sliquid
Materials:
Water
The Sliquid Sassy Lube sample did seduce me to ordering a bottle of it, though. Thing is, despite a few disappointing factors Sliquid is still the best lube out there for me. Much as I admittedly begrudge the concept of using lube I never want to be caught without it again. Well done, Sliquid -- you have a repeat customer.
Fifty Shades of Grey Sensual Touch Massage Oil Review

Fifty Shades of Grey Sensual Touch Massage Oil Review

6 out of 10
I dispensed some of the Fifty Shades of Grey Sensual Touch Massage Oil into my hand instead of directly on to him; I didn't want to risk it splashing everywhere, especially as it's oil and I had already discovered this oil wasn't as thick and gloopy as I was expecting. The smell of it pervaded my senses once again; the sandalwood and musk which is meant to be a representation of the scent of Christian Grey himself.

Fifty Shades of Grey Ready for Anything Aqua Lubricant Review

9 out of 10
The Fifty Shades of Grey Ready for Anything Aqua Lubricant is crystal clear, thick enough to make it a good, all round sexual lubricant regardless of your chosen activity and also looks good next to the other products in the range on your bedside table or bathroom shelf.

Lovehoney Enjoy Water-Based Lubricant Review

8 out of 10
Price:
£4.99
Brand:
Lovehoney
Materials:
Water
As I said, it made for some nice slippery play times, I have a preference for glass toys and teamed with the Lovehoney Enjoy lube I was very happy. It stayed wet and slippery all through out my play time and afterwards I felt soft and moisturised. To wash off, it came off easy in the shower with normal washing. It did leave me nice and soft.
Fifty Shades of Grey Sweet Sensation Sensual Bath Oil Review

Fifty Shades of Grey Sweet Sensation Sensual Bath Oil Review

9 out of 10
In summary this is a fabulous smelling bath oil that softens the water. It is more expensive than some other brands out there, but the difference in quality is clearly apparent. It also looks far more decadent at the side of the bath or on your bathroom shelf.
