The Ultimate Summer Staycation Guide for Couples

It’s no secret that things can get expensive when you plan dates outside the home. But an incredible and sexy time with your partner doesn’t have to include plane tickets or hotel rooms. Often, the best experiences happen at home with just a little bit of preparation!

There are countless ways to make a weekend extraordinary and make things all the more romantic. It’s time to reconnect and focus on each other without the stress of travel and the daily routine. No need to stress the details, we have a few options to help bring in summer (and enhance intimacy!)

Create a Backyard Date Night

Sometimes stepping away from the house helps clear the head. Get away from the to-do list and project reminders, and get some fresh air with your partner. No need for a fancy reservation when you can turn your backyard or patio into a private retreat.

Try string lights, cozy blankets, your favorite drinks, and perhaps some light music. Create the illusion of an outdoor retreat or adventure (while keeping close to your own comfy bed!)

Want to turn up the heat? Adding a toy with a remote control allows you both to control vibrations and sensations discreetly. It’s a fun way to get things started while you relax and share a favorite drink.

Our summer pick? We-Vibe Vector Plus! This remote-controlled prostate vibrator is perfect for playing discreetly.

DIY Spa Day

Summer is an opportune time to slow down a little bit and pamper each other. Relaxation and pleasure go hand-in-hand, too! Transform your bedroom or bathroom into a spa retreat with scented candles, soft music, warm towels, and some snacks.

A calm bedroom day is a great way to connect in a stress-free environment. Give each other massages, unwind without distractions, enjoy face masks, and indulge in some physical touch.

Candles with a dual purpose: These candles not only help set the mood for your staycation spa day but also double as massage oils. Let the ambiance get you started, then use the warm wax for a nice massage before you play.

Schedule a Technology-Free Weekend

We spend a lot of time looking at screens, and it’s easy to consume any time off we have with mindless screen time to relax. For at least one evening, agree to set the technology aside and connect in more hands-on ways.

Cook together, play some board games, take a walk, have meaningful conversations that don’t compete with screens. Removing the digital distractions will help focus you both in and allow for even more exploration.

Our Exploration Assistant: The We-Vibe Moxie Plus features a powerful motor and control can be given to your partner via remote-control so they can deliver powerful vibrations. Beyond that, it has a panty clip that keeps it in place for either of you, no matter where you want it! Tuck it into your panties or inside a bra or briefs for even more fun while you’re enjoying freedom from technology!

For Parents - Make The Most of Small Moments

Not all couples have the luxury of an empty house. If you have children at home (especially during summer break), finding uninterrupted time with each other may feel entirely impossible. Remember, connection doesn’t need an entire weekend or week to make a difference.

Consider planning a late-night date after the kids are asleep. Find a movie and plan drinks and snacks around the plot or genre. Even thirty minutes makes a difference, and any of the ideas above can be done in small slices, if necessary!

Make your relationship a priority, even when things get stressful and busy.

Another Idea: Take a bath or a shower together with a waterproof toy. Not only will the warm water help ease some of the daily stress, but you can also connect in the gentle environment. The Wellness Palm Sense is a waterproof vibe with a finger-fin that makes exploration easy while delivering powerful vibration through its two motors wherever you desire.

Recreate Your Favorite Restaurant At Home

Having great food together while on vacation is certainly a highlight, but instead of making a reservation, bring it home. Pick a favorite cuisine and spend some time cooking together. This allows you to work as a team, learn something, and enjoy the meal together.

If cooking is absolutely not your thing, order out and focus on creating the atmosphere instead. Put on a curated list and get dressed like you are going out. Add a little mood music (and perhaps that remove-controlled vibrator…) and candles for the ultimate date-night getaway.

Make this Summer One to Remember

The best part of all this? You can curate your perfect staycation to fit your relationship needs. Keep things simple, or add entirely new experiences - whatever allows you both to connect and keep the pleasure alive.

So, whether you're planning an adults-only weekend or sneaking in quality time after the kids are asleep, a staycation helps you strengthen your connection (and orgasms!). Time to book your perfect weekend!
