I have often joked about how “once I win the lottery” I’d have a Liberator room. This is review is the unfurling of the reason why.

But first, the back story. Like many, I scoffed at what I thought was just foam shapes and what looked like velveteen covers. Sure we have plenty of great reviews on this set, but I held out. I figured the shapes wouldn’t get used that often even if they were sturdy. I’m sure many of you are nodding right now, some knowingly. You thought the same things, didn’t you?

By now, you know that I did cave, and decided – with my husband’s help - to give these two pieces a try. We both agreed that if they worked, it could make sex a whole lot more fun – and comfortable.

So, I get the enormous box – everyone jokes about this too. A big but not very heavy box. Not easy to carry but not impossible for one person to lift and get inside on your own. And it’s well packed. The two shapes are in super thick printed white plastic, that say “Love All Ways” and “Liberator” on it, with red lipstick lips. The plastic should be carefully cut open, as to not nick your shapes. Also in the box in your ‘Positions Book’ – which covers positions for the Wedge and Ramp as well as other shapes…definitely gets you lusting for more of the collection! There is also a product card that tells you how to proceed. Wash the covers first, play later. My very purple set looked great out of the package, but I obeyed – and I’m glad I did. Under the covers is a second covering that is permanent and boasts a Teflon coating – so you can be sure you’ve got double barrier protection during playtime. Don’t ever even try to remove the under cover - it's there for a reason. Less than 2 hours later they were washed, dried (low settings only) and back on the shapes. The fabric looks more lustrous. I noticed a difference in friction right away – the Wedge and Ramp clung to each other much better. Ok, I was convinced.

That’s the thing that surprised me most. I thought when put together that they might slide a bit – but they don’t. At all. The microfiber grips really well. Granted, it also shows bodily fluids and lube really well too – but hey, it’s washable. After every use, both pieces look brand new and the foam shows no signs of denting or softening. Miraculous foam? Maybe!

Oh! Before you read the sexy (sorta) personal details below, you should know that you can use these for lower back pain too, if you like to read or watch TV in bed, the Ramp props you up firmly. Or use the Wedge under your knees or ankles when your feet are sore. Even better - use both, to be cradled in a propped up back and feet position. And I imagine these would be wonderful for a pregnant woman to have for relaxation and more comfortable sex with her partner. As well as any one with disabilities or who has had recent surgery. I have terrible arthritis in my knees and hands, and I can attest that the height and angles made possible are very helpful in lessening discomfort.

Now, I’m gonna be honest with y’all. I am a big girl and my hubs is a big guy. We’re both really tall and just big all over. Edge of the bed stuff has always been a pain, even though we have a high mattress, because my body would always be too low. Missionary and doggy were good but still a low thrust for my husband. If only I were a bit higher…and the same goes oral. Oh my goodness, does this set save you a crick in the neck when going downtown! Fellas and Ladies, no need to lie on your bellies any longer. Your range of motion has just gotten a make over…and it makes a difference. I’m not gonna give too many graphic details here, dears – but you can really get a lot good hand and head movement going.
