So you’re bunking up with mates, stuck in a student pad, or, heaven forbid, back at your mum and dad's. And suddenly, you're faced with the age-old dilemma: how to have a bit of 'me time' without alerting the entire household.
Fret not! The LOVE Team has your back with a guide on how to keep things on the down-low.
Timing is everything
The golden rule here is all about timing. Keep your ears to the ground and get to know the comings and goings in your shared space.
Daytime delights
Maybe your flatmate's into gardening, another's off to Tesco for the weekly shop, while someone else has a regular office Zoom session. Use their routines to find your own quiet time. There’s nothing like sneaking in some self-love when the coast is clear.
Night owls
Your room is your castle, right? Once everyone's drifted off to the land of nod, the evening might just be your perfect window. Just remember to keep it hush-hush.
Bathroom break now
The loo can be a top spot for some sneaky self-pleasure.
Shower power
Getting busy under the shower isn’t just efficient - it’s practical. The sound of water can drown out (pun intended) any tell-tale sounds, even if you're pulling out the big...tools.
Lock it down
Sounds daft, but always lock the door. You'd be surprised how many red faces we've heard about because someone forgot this step.
Easy peasy clean-up
One of the perks of the bathroom rendezvous? A quick and easy clean-up, without raising any eyebrows.
About those toys…
If you're pulling out the gadgets to ramp up the fun, remember these cheeky tips:
Silent but deadly
Don't let the buzz give you away. Check if your toy's whisper-quiet before using it in shared digs.
Water babies
Some toys love a good splash. If you're diving deep in the shower, make sure your plaything can handle the wet and wild.
Small wonders
Pocket-sized toys aren’t just discreet – they’re often the quietest. Store them in a fabric pouch or a sneaky box, and tuck them away out of sight.
There you have it! With a bit of wit and strategy, you can keep your private moments just that – private. And remember, self-love is a beautiful thing. Now, go forth and enjoy – but maybe keep the volume down, yeah?
