Wrist and ankle straps with connectors. A soft blindfold. The kit if you already have a bed post in mind and do not want to lift the mattress.

Cons

  • Connectors need something to wrap. A mattress system is easier
  • Ask first. A surprise kit is a fight

Why it ranks: Post-vs-mattress is the first argument.

Hands still want slick if a toy joins later. Water-based.

Cons

  • Not for a long water session. That's silicone lube

Why it ranks: How-to nights still buy a bottle.

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Talk first, pick a safeword and start with light restraints. The anticipation is most of the fun. Alone, try the blindfold first. Your imagination fills in the rest.

The one we'd practice with is Sliquid H2O. Clean, slippery and no sticky finish. It's the bottle you stop thinking about, which is the point.
