If you're someone with a vagina who finds penetrative sex to be painful, Ohnut is for you.

Should you clean your vagina after sex? Mmm, probably. In a pinch, though, these cleansing wipes are here to help and save you some time. Sexual wellness brand Cake offers this option, which is Ph-balanced (great if you're a vulva-owner). As a bonus, it has added honeysuckle for skin softness.

6. Tether

Shop now: Tether, $12

When I was a teenager, I had an arsenal of neon duct tape that I used for my sexperiences, and well, let's just say I don't advise the stuff to be repurposed as accessories for sex. That's where Tether tape comes in: It's good if you're into the pleasure and not so much into hair-ripping pain. It only sticks to itself, ensuring you'll be able to release your partner without conflict. But don't worry; it's strong enough to make sure they stay put for when it matters.
