We plan for romantic nights—silky sheets, candles, the perfect mood. But let’s be real: even the hottest sessions can come with a few unexpected hiccups.
That’s why every sex-positive person needs a Sex First-Aid Kit—because safety and pleasure go hand in hand.
Here’s what to pack in yours
Lubricant (and Lots of It)
Friction is the enemy of fun. Keep a good-quality, body-safe lube on hand (water-based, silicone, or hybrid—your choice) to prevent irritation, micro-tears, and dryness. Pro tip: Stash mini bottles in your purse or travel bag for on-the-go play.
Condoms & Dental Dams
They’re not just for birth control—they’re a frontline defence against STIS. Stock different sizes and types (latex-free, textured, flavoured) to keep it sexy and safe. Bonus: Dental dams are perfect for oral pleasure with added protection.
Clean-Up Essentials
Keep unscented, ph-balanced wipes or a soft washcloth nearby for post-play clean-up. They’re great for bodies and for toys—because hygiene is hot.
Aftercare Must-Haves
After an intense session (especially BDSM), aftercare is crucial. Pack soft blankets, soothing lotion, and snacks to help ground yourself and your partner. Emotional check-ins? Always included.
Emergency Supplies
Antiseptic wipes: For any minor scrapes or play-related marks.
Hydrocortisone cream: To soothe unexpected skin irritation.
Panty liners or pads: In case of post-play spotting.
Toy Cleaner
A good antibacterial toy cleaner is non-negotiable if toys are part of your play. Clean after every use to avoid infections or skin reactions.
PH Test Strips (for Vaginal Health)
It’s not essential for everyone, but it’s great if you’re prone to infections. These strips can quickly tell you if your pH is off after play—early detection is key.
The Bonus Item: A Journal
Sounds odd? Hear us out. Jotting down your sexual experiences—what worked, what didn’t, what you loved—helps track your pleasure journey and identify any patterns (both fun and health-wise).
Editor’s Note:
At The Sin Edit, we believe that safety is the sexiest foundation of all. Whether you’re exploring solo or with a partner, having a Sex First-Aid Kit keeps your pleasure worry-free and your body protected because the best nights are the ones where passion and care meet.
