How to Pack the Perfect Play Bag for Swinging & Lifestyle Events: A Guide by Gush and Blush


Are you attending your first Spicy Pineapple event? Congratulations! Whether you’re new to the lifestyle or a seasoned swinger, being prepared can make all the difference to your experience. Gush and Blush have been to countless events, and they’re here to help you pack the perfect play bag, ensuring you’re ready for whatever fun comes your way.



1. Start with the Right Bag

First things first—invest in a good bag to carry your essentials. Opt for a waterproof bag, especially if you’re anything like Gush, who’s known to make a mess! Plus, a waterproof bag is perfect if you plan on enjoying the venue’s pool or hot tub areas. The right bag keeps everything organised and easy to access, so you’re always ready for action.


2. Condoms: A Must-Have

Safety first! Condoms are non-negotiable at any lifestyle event. Having them on hand is essential—nothing kills the mood faster than having to run to the lockers mid-play. We recommend carrying a variety of condoms to suit different needs and preferences, such as:

  • Latex-free condoms for those with allergies

  • Slim or ribbed condoms for added sensation

  • Larger condoms for well-endowed partners

Being prepared with a range of options ensures that everyone involved is comfortable and protected.


3. Lube: The Perfect Companion

What pairs perfectly with condoms? Lube! Whether you’re into anal play or just want to enhance your experience, lube is a must-have. Remember, only use water-based or silicone-based lubes, as others can weaken the condom and increase the risk of breakage. Trust us, no one wants that kind of surprise!


4. Breath Mints Over Gum

Fresh breath is always appreciated, but stick to breath mints instead of chewing gum. Gum can be tricky to dispose of discreetly, and some clubs don’t allow it. Mints are easy, effective, and won’t leave you searching for a bin.


5. Toys for Extra Fun

Spice up your playtime by bringing along a few toys. A vibrating cock ring for him or a bullet or Rose for her can elevate your experience to a whole new level. Toys add excitement and variety, making every encounter unique and memorable.


6. Little Blue Pills

Performance anxiety is real, especially in high-pressure situations like a gangbang. If you or your partner are concerned about performance, consider packing some little blue pills to ease the nerves and ensure everyone has a good time.


7. Freshen Up Wipes

Between play sessions, freshen-up wipes can be a lifesaver. They’re quick, convenient, and help you feel clean and ready for more fun. Most venues also have shower facilities, so you can freshen up as needed.


8. Contact Cards

Met someone you’d like to play with again? Contact cards are a great way to exchange details without the fuss. Include your email, mobile number, or the swinging platforms you’re on, along with your usernames. This makes it easy to reconnect and arrange future play sessions.


9. Blindfolds & Sensory Deprivation

If you’re into sensory deprivation, don’t forget to pack a blindfold. Some clubs have dark rooms, which can add an extra layer of excitement if that’s your kink. A blindfold can heighten the senses and create a thrilling experience for both you and your partner.


10. Gloves for Safety

If you’re planning on playing with multiple partners, gloves are a smart addition to your play bag. They provide an extra layer of protection and help prevent the spread of STIs. Plus, they’re easy to slip on and off, ensuring you stay safe while having fun.


11. Mini Deodorants, Perfume, & Aftershave

A little spritz goes a long way! After a shower or a dip in the hot tub, freshen up with mini deodorants, perfume, or aftershave. It’s a simple way to feel refreshed and confident before heading back into the action.


12. Hair Ties & Brushes

For those with long hair, a brush or hair tie is a must. After a vigorous play session, your hair might look a bit wild—like you’ve been dragged through a hedge! A quick brush or tying it back will have you looking your best in no time.


Conclusion

Packing the perfect play bag ensures that you’re ready for whatever your next lifestyle event throws your way. With these essentials, you’ll be prepared, confident, and able to focus on what really matters—having an amazing time. So go ahead, pack your bag, and get ready for an unforgettable experience at your next Spicy Pineapple event!


Happy swinging!
