5 Ways to Spice Up Your Love Life After Having a Baby

After you have a baby you might not have the time, energy, or mojo for an active love life. Here’s how you can bring some magic back into the bedroom

Getting jiggy with it in the bedroom has lots of benefits. An active sex life helps promote intimacy, reduces stress, and keeps you connected with your partner. But after you have given birth, those early months of your body recovering and getting used to looking after a newborn (oh those sleepless nights!) might mean your love life takes a backseat. So how do you put some spice back into your sex life after having a baby? Here are five ways you can rev things up a notch in the bedroom.

1. Dress up! You might not be feeling your hottest with your postpartum body but we bet your partner thinks you look amazing just the same. Buy lingerie that fits your new body. PleasureHobby has a range of luxurious lingerie from babydoll chemises to matching lingerie and g-string sets like the Pink Lipstick with its dramatic criss-cross bust detailing that will have you seeing yourself in a whole new (sexy) light. Feeling a little more risqueé? We can’t take our eyes off the raunchy Rene Rofe lingerie with its bondage straps. This racy number might not be something you’d usually try on, but isn’t that half the fun – getting out of character and trying something new and exciting?

2. Exercise your kegel muscles: The pelvic floor muscles in the base of the pelvis are responsible for maintaining continence. Throughout pregnancy, your pelvic floor muscles can be placed under pressure as your posture changes to accommodate your growing baby. Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles will give you more pleasure when you are having sex (and better orgasms) as the vaginal walls are layered with these muscles. Try kegel balls to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. The Lelo Beads Plus (pictured, on sale at $113.48) are six interchangeable weighted beads that will do the trick and they can also be used as a sex toy for arousal.

3. Set the mood: Sometimes getting into the mood starts with setting the scene with scent, lighting, and sound. Light some erotic candles like the Shunga – Erotic Art Aphrodisia Mini Candlelight ($9), put on some music, go to bed earlier than usual, and give each other massages with sensual oil (we like the sound of the Dona – Let Me Kiss You Aphrodisiac Massage Oil ($16.46).

4. Get playful in the bedroom: Adult toys have come a long way and there’s something to titillate both ladies and men now. From rabbit vibrators to wand massagers and stimulating panties. Put the Satisfyer Pro 2 Rechargeable Clit Massager (pictured, on sale $91.53) on your wishlist – this sleek rose device promises pressure waves, vibration, and stimulation to get you in the mood in minutes!

5. Have a quickie: When you are tired from looking after your baby the last thing you may want to do is engage in elaborate foreplay. But have you considered skipping that and having a quickie? You’ll need a good lubricant of course and that Satisfyer Pro 2 Rechargeable Clit Massager will come in handy too. PleasureHobby has water-based lubes, some in different flavours like the Gelato Creme Brulee ($8.95). Keep the lube in the fridge for a different sensation.
