Counting Down The 12 Days of Play

The 12 Days of Play Advent calendar has arrived, and it’s time to count down the days with 12 sexy surprises that will have you and your partner getting hot and heavy in no time. 

But here’s the question: are you a rule follower? Will you only open each door as the days go by, discovering each new gift every night? Or are you a little on the naughty side? Ready to say to hell with the rules and take your pleasure trove all at once?

Well, whichever you are, you’re in luck – we’re done with teasing. We’re going FULL SPOILERS here, so only read on if you just can’t wait!

So read on as we break down what’s inside our 12 day calendar and offer a few suggestions about how to put your new toys to work.

Put Some Focus on Foreplay 

Everyone loves a little foreplay, but with the 12 Days of Play, you can amp up your appetizer and make it the main course.

Let’s start with Day 7: the finger vibrator. This versatile little toy features a textured surface for all your teasing needs, a removable vibrator to make sure your pleasure spots are taken care of, and a flexible finger ring to keep it in place, no matter how hot things get.

While the finger vibe does its thing, it may be time to whip out Day 8: the masturbation sleeve. It’s always wonderful to give your partner a hand, but sometimes that hand could use a little help too! This textured sleeve pairs perfectly with a lubricant (especially our creamy Whipped lube) and can help add that little extra something to manual pleasure.

Now let’s bring it home with Day 11: the mini wand vibe. This fun little vibrator features 3 speeds and 7 patterns of vibrating pleasure that you can use to tease all up and down the body to meet every orgasmic end. Not only is this wand travel size, but it also has an integrated USB plug, so you can easily charge it on the go too! 

With these three little additions, you can up your pregame festivities to the big leagues. 

Have a Sensory Session 

Sensory play is an underrated aspect of sex. Light touches and tickles can be both relaxing and arousing. And the 12 Days of Play calendar has a few items that can help you explore this sensual aspect of sexuality. 

You can start by heightening your partner’s senses – by taking one away. And Day 1 provides the perfect opportunity with the lace blindfold. Covering their eyes also helps create a fun tension and anticipation. If they can’t see what’s coming, they’ll never know what to expect.

Next, we have Day 5: the nipple suction set. Despite its name and design, these little suckers can work all over the body, providing a little bit of pleasure and suction anywhere you want it. Just press them up against your skin and squeeze. The escaping air will keep them suctioned to your body providing that little extra sensation. Plus, suction increases blood flow, so attaching them to your nipples will increase their sensitivity! Who can say no to that?

Now, for what may be the most interesting inclusion into our calendar: the sensory fingertips. These adjustable metallic fingertips slip onto your fingers and are perfect for sliding along your partner’s skin for titillating results. Try lightly teasing their back or inner thigh and send a ticklish shiver through their entire body.

Combine all three for a sensory explosion that will have you and your partner ready and raring to go in no time.

Get All Wrapped Up 

What comes to mind when you read the word “bondage?” Do you picture gags, zippers, and whips? Well, you’re not wrong – but you’re also not exactly right! While a mainstream (mis)understanding of bondage tends to focus on the extreme, there are SO many ways to explore bondage play in fun and tame ways. And that’s where the 12 Days of Play comes in!

If you’ve ever been curious about being all tied up, we’ve got a few days that will probably pique your interest. First up: Day 4 features a satin and lace restraint tie that’s perfect for binding wrists or ankles (or if you’re really getting into it…maybe both!) This soft ribbon is strong enough to keep you right where your partner wants you, but light enough to still feel comfortable.

Next up, we go back to our favorite: Day 1, the blindfold. Bondage is all about giving up control, giving into fantasy, and letting go of your inhibitions. Allowing your partner to bind AND blind you is the ultimate form of trust and the best way to give senses a boost.

Now, it’s time for Day 6 – the nipple clamps! These adjustable clamps can be loosened or tightened for the perfect amount of pressure, and the dangling chains between them adds a little tickling tease to every movement. If you enjoy nipple stimulation, these clamps are the perfect way to start exploring “pain as pleasure” for those a little BDSM-curious.

Finally, we have a little accessory that’s bound to take things to the next level. 

Day 9: the mini rabbit vibe. 

Remember what we talked about a few paragraphs ago: bondage is all about letting go of your inhibitions and giving in to your partner. Letting them tease you with a toy while you’re all tied up is the ultimate way to let them control your satisfaction. They get the power – you get the pleasure. This little vibe features 3 speeds and 7 patterns of vibrating pleasure, and a teasing rabbit that will give your favorite spot the attention it deserves.

With these four items, you can begin to explore your bondage fantasies and dip a toe into a whole new world of fun. Who knows what pleasures you might find at the end of a new road? 

Take It All The Way Home

It doesn’t matter who you are or how much sex you’ve had, there are always ways to make it better – and the 12 Days of Play has you covered. We’ve got three final items that can help you up your sex game, find a few new pleasures, and do a little exploration along the way. 

Let’s start with something that’s guaranteed to make you more adventurous – Day 2: our sex dice set. Just one little roll will give you not just a position, but a location where you should do the deed. So how about a little cowgirl on the couch? Or maybe some doggie out in the car? Get out of your routine and out of the bedroom with this fun and sexy game.

Next up is a little something you KNOW you’ve always been curious about – Day 12: the anal plug. This smooth silicone plug features a ring for easy insertion and retrieval and is the perfect size for you or your partner to begin exploring anal play. For fun and safe play, we recommend using a silicone lube like Pure Pleasure, and – if you’re a total newbie – don’t hesitate to pick up some Booty Eaze as well, to make sure you’re as comfortable as can be. It’s also advisable to hold onto the ring during play for safe and easy removal.

Finally, we’ve got a toy that’s perfect for BOTH of you – Day 10: the vibrating cock ring. This dual-ringed toy adds a pleasing squeeze to both the penis and testicles while also featuring a rabbit teaser and removable vibrator. Just apply some lubricant (another perfect opportunity for Whipped!) and slide the center ring over the penis. Then stretch the second ring over the testicles for a little more pleasurable pressure. After that, it’s time to go for a ride. Position the rabbit teaser against the clitoris and hit the button for hands free vibrating fun.

Combine these items (and any of your other nine new favorites!) to create a perfect evening of sexy fun – with the 12 Days of Play calendar.
