Question 1

What is a sex blanket?

Accepted Answer

A sex blanket is a blanket that's literally made for sex!  It's made with a waterproof, leak-proof core that stops liquid from leaking though and ruining your bedding and mattress.  It should be large enough to cover the top of your bed -- no need for it to drape down over the sides like a bedspread or comforter because, well, there's nothing happening on the sides of your mattress.

The best ones are made from super velvety micro fleece so they feel great against bare skin.  And micro fleece is kinda grippy, so it generally won't shift around during use.

Some sex blankets can feel stiff and sound crinkly or diaper-like -- that's because the waterproof core is too thick for the weight of the fleece.  A well made waterproof sex blanket will be pliable and virtually noiseless.

Question 2

What is a period sex blanket?

Accepted Answer

A period sex blanket is a blanket that's made with a waterproof, leak-proof core designed to stop blood and other fluids from leaking through and ruining your bedding and mattress.  It also  makes a great layer between you and your bottom sheet to keep it clean and dry during the night.

No need to swear off sex just because you're on your period.  As long as both partners are OK with it, there's nothing harmful or "wrong" about enjoying sex during that time of the month, when many women report feeling especially sexy.

For easy cleanup, a dark color is best -- choose one that's black, charcoal gray or dark navy.

Question 3

How do I keep my bed dry during sex?

Accepted Answer

Because sex can get wet and messy, a waterproof blanket works great to keep fluids from soaking through and ruining your bedding and mattress.  Since they usually cover just the top of your bed, they're easy to toss aside so you can slip into clean, dry sheets and deal with any wet mess the next morning.  Much better than having to change the sheets!  And because they look like a regular blanket, you can keep one folded neatly on the foot of your bed so it can be ready whenever you are.

Other standbys like towels aren't really a great option -- although they're absorbent, they're not waterproof, and you run the risk of leakage.

Mattress pads?  Um, NOT sexy.  And the ones with straps or elastic aren't as easy to remove, but in a pinch, they're better than nothing.

Drop cloth?  Seriously?  Drop cloths are for painters and serial killers.  Do.Not.Even.

Question 4

What is a squirter/squirting?

Accepted Answer

Also known as gushing or female ejaculation, this refers to a woman who expels fluid during or before orgasm.  It's different than the natural lubrication most women produce during sex, both in volume and composition (although the makeup of the fluid is a topic of some disagreement among experts and medical professionals).  Many women report "squirting" after stimulation of the G-spot.  And many women report never squirting (or caring if they ever do).

Question 5

How do you wash waterproof blankets?

Accepted Answer

Heat will deteriorate the waterproof component of ANY waterproof blanket, so you need to be sure to wash using only cold or lukewarm water.  Pre-treat any stains before washing with a non-chlorine stain remover, then wash separately on the gentle cycle using your regular detergent.  A good quality waterproof blanket may be very heavy when wet, so you may need to run it through an extra spin cycle or two.  But the more water you can remove, the easier and faster it will be to dry your blanket.

Line drying is best, but you can also dry most waterproof blankets in your dryer as long as you use the lowest possible heat setting (and the air only setting is always your best choice).

Never use fabric softeners or dryer sheets on your waterproof blanket -- they contain ingredients that actually make fabrics LESS absorbent.

Question 6

How do you get massage oil out of waterproof blankets?

Accepted Answer

Oil stains of any kind are a problem for most fabrics, including fleece. Here are some suggestions for removing them:

1. Blot as much oil as possible as soon as the spill occurs, using paper 	towels. Don't rub, which could cause the oil to spread.
	2. Apply powder to the stain and let it sit for 30 minutes. You can use baby 	powder, baking soda, talcum powder, or cornstarch. Sprinkle the powder 	over the oil and let it sit for 30 minutes to absorb as much oil as possible. 	Then shake the blanket, vacuum or use a spoon to scrape the oil and 	powder away. Repeat if you can still see the stain.
	3. Next, rinse the stain with cool water, then apply a few drops of regular 	dish soap to the stain. Scrub the soap into the stain with a toothbrush, then 	rinse again with cool water. (Avoid using soaps with added moisturizers.)
	4. Launder separately as usual in cold water with your usual laundry 	detergent. Remember, no fabric softeners -- they make fabrics less 	absorbent!
	5. Line dry only -- DO NOT use your dryer until you're sure the stain is 	COMPLETELY gone! Placing ANY kind of oil-stained fabric in the dryer can 	cause combustion, so DON'T DO IT!!!
	6. If the stain remains, repeat the above, or consult your local dry cleaner.

Oil of any kind on ANY kind of fabric can be tricky to remove, but your Blue Zoca blanket is an investment, so the time and effort you put into keeping it stain-free are well worth it!
