W Hotel Intimacy Kit
filed under: Jet Sex, Room Service by Melissa Gira
An unexpected rendez-vous had me checking in late, late, late to the W recently, utterly lubeless.

But the one little packet of Wet included? Such a tease. Sure, it’s likely an effort to be discreet and design-y. But good design for sex means you’ve got to account for ‘slippery’, too.
