Hot days. Spontaneous nights. Vacation flings.

Summer has a way of throwing off your routine—including your bedroom supplies.
That’s why midseason is the perfect time to hit pause and make sure you’re stocked, safe, and ready for whatever’s next.

Here’s your Lube Refresh Checklist for the rest of the summer:

1. Restock Your Favorites

There’s nothing worse than running out of lube mid-play. Check your stash and refill what’s running low—especially your everyday go-to formulas like Happy Lube Water-Based or the extra-slick Happy Lube Silicone.

2. Try Something New

Summer is all about adventure, right?
This is the perfect time to grab a different formula or size you haven’t tried before. The more options you have on hand, the more spontaneous your nights can be.

3. Clean Up Your Nightstand Drawer

Yes, really. Go through your toys, lube, and accessories.

  • Toss anything broken or damaged
  • Give your toys a deep clean
  • Organize your lube bottles so you can grab them when the moment strikes

4. Check Expiration Dates!

Lube doesn’t last forever!

Most bottles last about 12-36 months after opening. Using expired lube can lead to irritation or lackluster performance—so check those dates and swap anything past its prime.

5. Be Travel-Ready

Still have a few summer trips planned? Don't forget to pack your lube!

Toss your fav Happy Lube formulas into a zip-top bag and add them to your toiletry kit. Being prepared means you'll never have to skip the fun while you're away.
