7 Honeymoon Essentials to Fall in Love With

You've probably just spent more than you ever thought possible on flowers and cake, so why not spend a little more than you would on a luxury sex toy and treat yourselves to a wedding present that will strengthen your marriage? If you find it hard to justify the bigger price tag, think of it as an investment in your pleasure. Made from superior materials, luxury sex toys really last and with most being rechargeable, you'll recoup the initial outlay over the course of the toy's life by not having to buy batteries.

A great luxury toy for couples is the We-Vibe X Lovehoney Remote Control Clitoral and G-Spot Vibrator which can be worn while you have sex, so you can stay as close as possible during your honeymoon. With its dual motors, We-Vibe's C-shaped toys are the only vibrators that stimulate the clitoris and the G-spot while at the same time allowing penetration.

Chances are some slippery fun is going to come your way while you're on honeymoon, whether it's a clear sea, a hot tub on a balcony or a relaxing spa bath in your room. A shared bath can be made even more exciting with a waterproof vibrator, whether you decide to stimulate each other or massage away all your cares.

Something like the Mantric Rechargeable Bullet Vibrator is small, discreet and easy to pack. It's totally waterproof, couple-friendly and really versatile so you can experiment under the bubbles.

Lavish attention on your new husband or wife and massage away any stresses that remain from the wedding.

Made from soya wax that burns at a body-safe temperature, sweet-smelling massage candles are the perfect way to set the scene for romance. They're also a fun new way to experiment with erotic massage together.

If your marriage is more va-va-voom than vanilla, a little light bondage will be just the ticket for your honeymoon. The Bondage Boutique Red Hot Passion Bedroom Bondage Kit has all the bondage gear you need for a getaway, with a blindfold, ballgag, flogger and four velcro cuffs.

The kit is discreet enough not to raise eyebrows if a cleaner spies it while they're tidying up the room, but they're serious enough to give bondage fans a thrill.

It's all supposed to be fun and sex games on the honeymoon, but sometimes you need a little inspiration. These Kama Sutra Playing Cards will be the ace to have up your sleeve if you do end up twiddling your thumbs. Light and easy to pack, these cards will give you a great way to pass the time and give ideas for new positions.

Sex dice are also small enough to slip in a make up bag and give endless opportunities for fun. Be imaginative with how you use them! Why not take it in turns to roll them while you watch a film in your room for extra spice? How about taking the dice out and about with you as you go sight seeing? Roll the dice and find a private place to complete the action. Thinking up inventive ways to use them is part of the fun.

Good sex is key to a happy marriage, and using a love ring is one of the best ways to boost your mutual satisfaction in the bedroom. Enjoy intense orgasms for two with the knee-trembling Bed Ringer Rechargeable Double Cock Ring.

With an added textured area for clitoral stimulation, just slide it down to the base of the penis and switch on the vibrations for exquisite, pulsating pleasure. The stretchy silicone cock ring provides support for him and helps to maintain a firmer erection - helpful if he's suffering from honeymoon fatigue!

Lube should be a mainstay of every bedroom as it increases the sensuality and comfort of lovemaking for both partners. On honeymoon, you'll probably be having more sex than usual and a good lubricant will enhance every session. Practically speaking, using a quality lubricant will help ease any irritation that arises from increased sexual activity (cystitis isn't nicknamed the 'honeymoon disease' for nothing).

A recent study shows that sexual pleasure and sexual satisfaction is significantly higher when lube is used during foreplay and sex - so make sure you don't forget this vital bit of kit. Lovehoney Delight Extra Silky Water-Based Lubricant comes in a handy 100ml bottle, so is easy to add to your luggage. If you end up fancying some sex underwater, a silicone-based lube will replenish your natural lubrication and won't wash away easily.
