The Hide Your Vibe Zipper Pillow from Sportsheets is a convenient and discreet way to hide your sex toys, reading material, DVDs, lubricants, toys, condoms, or whatever strikes your fancy in plain sight, keeping them handy for use while not visible to curious eyes.

The pillow comes simply packaged in a large plastic bag, with a tag attached to the pillow. It looks like any ordinary pillow you’d buy to accent your chairs or couches.

The pillow is size small, about 12 1/2" square, and fairly poofy at about 5 1/2" in the center (the edges are less padded). It has a cover made from black valboa fabric. Valboa is a faux fur that has low pile and is tough wearing. On one side of the cover is a hidden zipper that opens that side of the cover almost completely. The cover can be completely removed for easy washing in the washer and dried on low in the dryer (it can also be spot cleaned if necessary).

Inside the cover is the pillow itself. The pillow is white and filled with 100% polyester fiber batting. It can be washed in the washing machine if necessary and tumbled dry. It’s sewn with a large pocket that goes down inside the length of the pillow. It’s not quite symmetric, so when items are inserted they can be felt more easily through one side than the other.

The pillow looks small, but it will easily hold: an oversized paperback book, DVD, several vibrators and a bottle of lubricant at one time without stretching the pillow or making it hard to close. Because of the size of books and DVDs, if they aren’t centered in the pocket their edges may be visible and also felt when in the pillow.

Putting too many items in the pocket may make the pillow too bulky to use as an actual pillow, and the items may knock into each other and rattle if the pillow is moved letting others know the pillow holds more than just batting. Care should be used if vibrators are stored in the pillow with their batteries inside, as if the vibe doesn’t have a locking mode and the pillow is jostled, the vibe may turn on causing the pillow to vibrate.

Our basement is done in black with black furniture and black pillows, so this pillow fit right in. It’s about the size of many of our other accent pillows and of a similar material. I was able to fit quite a few items inside, although overstuffing did make it harder to close and a bit lumpy. With just a book, 3 vibrators, and a small bottle of lubricant, though, it was completely unnoticeable that anything was inside. When empty or with just a few items inside, it worked well as a pillow against my back or even resting my head on it. I did have one of the vibrators inside turn on unexpectedly when I pressed into the bottom of the pillow, which prompted me to take the batteries out of the toys I plan to keep inside.

This is an ideal way to hide toys I want to use frequently without storing them away, and also makes a good hiding place for smaller items I need to review, keeping them together in a convenient location.
