Sexual Bedroom Essentials Reviews: Must-Have Products for Pleasure & Intimacy

Not all pleasure essentials are sex toys, but they can still make a huge difference in your intimate experiences. In my sexual bedroom essentials reviews, I cover everything from lubricants and massage oils to adult games, condoms, and even sex toy storage solutions.

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.

Price:
£9.99
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.

Lovehoney recently sent me an extremely thoughtful care package, with plenty of sexy goodies and treats to enjoy through the lockdown. I'm sharing my thoughts on these sex toys & other bedroom accessories one by one here on the blog. This was an extremely fun and relaxing product to try out.

Lovehoney Oh! Scented Massage Candles Review (Vanilla, Cherry & Strawberry)

7 out of 10
The Lovehoney Oh! range includes various sexy games and fun foreplay accessories to liven up solo pleasure and shared intimate moments. I love erotic massage candles, whether by myself or to share with my partner, so I thoroughly enjoyed being able to try some of the Lovehoney Oh! Scented Massage Candles (available in Vanilla, Strawberry or Cherry scent).
Lovehoney Oh! Attract Women Pheromone Scent Rollerball Review

Lovehoney Oh! Attract Women Pheromone Scent Rollerball Review

7 out of 10
Excited to see what the scent was really like, I applied it to my pulse points as recommended on the box. I could smell the patchouli and cedar straight away, then the light crisper citrus notes came through. It's not an overpowering patchouli smell (I didn't smell like 'goth shop'!) but there's an exotic musk which I must say I preferred to the 'attract men' version.
Lovehoney Oh! Attract Men Pheromone Scent Rollerball Review

Lovehoney Oh! Attract Men Pheromone Scent Rollerball Review

7 out of 10
Applying it to my pulse points as recommended on the box, I was able to finally experience the scent of this 'attract men' pheromone scent. It's quite a delicate scent, and although there are sweeter top notes, there's a musky base from the cedar and sandalwood which lends an exotic air.
Lovehoney Desire Orgasm Balm Review

Lovehoney Desire Orgasm Balm Review

10 out of 10
When I apply it to my clit it feels like that silently-squealing horny feeling when I really need to orgasm... hot and cold all at once, with no discomfort, just intense, tingling pleasure. It is also effective applied to whichever other erogenous zone you fancy –nipples, labia etc.
Lovehoney Delight Extra Silky Water Based Lube Review

Lovehoney Delight Extra Silky Water Based Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£7.99
Brand:
Lovehoney
Materials:
Water
It wasn’t until I peeled away the hygiene seal and dispensed a little Delight Lube that I realised my preconceptions about this lube had been completely wrong. It isn’t thin and clear, as I was expecting; the Delight Lube is semi-opaque (white) and genuinely silky. A delightfully slippery, silky and thick cushioning lube. I had to take a little video  to show you what I mean...
Nexus Douche Anal Sex Cleansing Equipment Review

Nexus Douche Anal Sex Cleansing Equipment Review

9 out of 10
Nexus are a brand I have a great deal of time and respect for. They invest a lot of research into their luxurious and effective prostate stim toys, and are regular recipients of various adult industry awards. No area of anal pleasure is overlooked, as can be seen in this review, which is for the Nexus Douche.

Brand:
System JO
Materials:

I absolutely adore the sights, sounds and smells of the fairground -the rides not so much, I'm very much a 'eat the food, hold the bags' visitor to the fair.  Speaking of eating the food, cotton candy or candy floss is something I always grab a stick of as I walk past all of the bright and colourful sweet stalls.  When I saw the System JO Candy Shop H2O Cotton Candy Lube in the Pleasure Panel round I didn't think twice about volunteering.

Lovehoney Oh! Chocolate Body Paint Review

3 out of 10
Few of us have ever needed an excuse to lick our partner from head to toe, but no one ever turned down an offer of chocolate either. So I was helpless to resist reviewing the Lovehoney Oh! Chocolate Body Paint, available now from lovehoney.co.uk, priced £6.99 for a 120g tube.

...when Cara offered up some tasty flavoured lubes from System JO, I couldn't resist offering my services. I mean, who wouldn't want to try a butterscotch flavoured lube. Just the thought of it had me salivating and thinking of fun ways to put it to the test.

Having thought about it, I thought that the System JO Candy Shop H2O Cotton Candy Lube sounded like an interesting idea.  Would this lube slide me back to memories of fairgrounds and fun as a youngster, or would it prove to be too much of a tacky idea and leave me wanting a more conventional lubricant?

System JO Candy Shop H2O Cotton Candy Lube Review

10 out of 10
Price:
£9.99
Brand:
System JO
Materials:
Water
Previous flavored lubricants we’d tried included Wet and Pure Romance brands, neither of which we were impressed with.  In our experience, the flavors are always pretty awesome, but the lubricant aspect of the products is pretty poor. So while we didn’t have high expectations, we were hopeful that the System JO Candy Shop H2O Cotton Candy Lube would be better.

System JO
Materials:

I have reviewed a few lubricants for Cara Sutra's Pleasure Panel and will always be happy to review more. This review is for the System JO Candy Shop H2O Butterscotch Lube. I have always been wary of flavoured lubes due to the taste not generally being great or greasy.
