Why accessorize? As any woman could tell you, a cool new bag, shoes, or jewelry can make the everyday seem exciting again. So as more women buy condoms instead of relying on a guy to do it, these practical necessities have gotten a lot prettier, as have other bedtime accoutrements. A vibrator inlaid with bling? Now we know why diamonds are a girl’s best friend!
Spice It Up
Take a tip from the Spice Girls and be prepared for any sexy situations that may come up. Proper Attire condoms (6) come in chic wrapper designs guaranteed to be “for her pleasure" whether in use or not. Plus, all the proceeds benefit Planned Parenthood. One of our favorite designers, Kiki De Montparnasse, makes little matchbook-style condoms (10) ($5) that fit discreetly in any clutch or pocket. Stay spontaneous but optimally accessorized by tucking your favorite condoms into a carrying case when you're on the road or just on the go. Just In Case (9) designs compacts to store your goodies in, or for a retro vibe, try metal cases (3) with pin-up girls and ‘50s tattoo prints.
Boreplay No More
Okay, admittedly, even we want to fast forward through foreplay and get to the good stuff sometimes. But maybe it's just time to toss the gag handcuffs someone got you for some barely legal birthday and upgrade your bag of bedside tricks. Madame De Montparnasse makes bondage beautiful with this 10-foot string of freshwater pearl restraints (5)($4,200), and for that price, you might even want to take them out for a spin on the town. Myla.com promises to take the tacky out of your sex shopping sprees with a selection of high-end accessories. Satisfy your naughty side with a pretty paddle (1)($80). Not interested in reading the whole Kama Sutra or watching some creepy how-to video? Make your bed with Karma Sheetras (8)(£24.99) and follow the numbered prints for a game of Twister unlike any you've ever played before.
Solo Act
Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands, and a night of instant pleasure doesn’t have to be commanded by a daunting vibrating bunny. Sex toy designers are stepping up and showcasing products that give “kinky couture” a whole new meaning. Just when you thought everything that could possibly be bedazzled with diamonds already has been, here comes Jimmyjane’s Little Platinum Eternity (7)($3,250). The silent waterproof vibrator is made of platinum and encircled by 28 round cut diamonds for true buzzing bling. The Yva from Swedish company Lelo proves that not all that glitters is gold, but with the sleek 18K gold-plate vibe, you still might find the end of the rainbow. If you’re into modern art, skip the exhibits and check out the C-Shell (4)($130) or pre-order the SaSi (2)($185), body massagers that look like they should be on display at MoMA.
