WHAT TO BRING TO NAUGHTY

If you're a seasoned Naughty vet, you might be rolling your eyes at this article, but in your excitement you might forget a few basics or you're a newbie and having a list like this can help you figure out what you need to pack.  The last thing you want while enjoying a few days of Naughtiness is to be stuck in a compromising situation because you forgot to bring something as simple as your phone charger. 

Here's our list of things you should consider packing that will guarantee a safe, comfortable and convenient experience at Naughty N'awlins. 

Your Mask
At this point, masks are just a way of life and there are mandates for wearing masks in public, be sure to bring yours. It's best to bring a few in case you lose or need a clean one. There are also plenty of places to get masks in the city that are festive and would complete your outfit/costume wonderfully. 

Protection 
We know you know this one, but we can't not remind you to make sure you bring condoms, birth control and what ever else you need to protect yourself from STDs and unwanted pregnancies, if you choose to play with others.

Our friends at Promescent is putting some condoms in our welcome bags so you can check out a top quality condom (personally, we like their ultra thin condoms) while getting Naughty.

Lube 
If you have a favorite lube bring it! While there are plenty of places in New Orleans where you can get your typical store-bought lubricants, we recommend choosing a lube that is safe for your body and sexual preferences. We are promoting Promescent Lube this year. They are providing samples in our welcome bags, so check them out. Not only does Promescent have top quality spray, but they sell an amazing spray that will make guys last longer. Their Delay Spray is called a Climax Control Spray and we all know that if the guy last longer, only good things will happen. Give it a try.

One of our favorite lube accessories, is the Touch lube warmer. Until we experienced this, we wondered how we made it so many years without one. It warms up your lube (there are different temperature settings) and it is a no-touch lube dispenser that looks cool (we have one on our nightstand. Check it out at their website…

Toys 
Bust out your vibrators, floggers and other Naughty toys! Keep them in your hotel room or bring them to one of Master Don's flogging classes for a tutorial on how to use them well. This is a safe place to experiment with your toys and find new ways of pleasuring yourself and others with them. 

Your costumes 
You have 4 whole days of dressing sexy and having fun with your look. Our theme nights are made for you to play with costumes, get in character and bring out your sexual side. See out theme night guide for some ideas on how to dress up for Naughty theme nights. 

Costume repair 
It's wise to bring a little kit with you that can repair your costume if need be; a mini sewing kit, safety pins, extra buttons, extra sequins, double-sided tape or whatever you have in store costume-wise, be sure to bring something that can salvage your costume if anything happens to it. 

Comfortable Shoes 
Yes, you can bring your heels, stilettos and dress shoes too, but for the times when you just want to stroll around the city to go sightseeing or to get something to eat, we recommend bringing some comfortable, close-toed walking shoes. Our sidewalks and streets are old and often uneven, if it rains we get big puddles and in the French Quarter you don't want to dip your feet into anything nasty. Bring comfortable shoes and you will thank us later. 

Hotel Room Decor 
Although the playrooms will be at Colette this year, some may prefer to entertain their guests in their own hotel room. For this purpose we put together some tips on how to create your own playroom. Check out our tips and bring whatever you need to make your hotel rooms as welcoming, fun and sexy as you want it to be. 

Couple's Cards 
Instead of fumbling around with your phone in order to give out your contact info, have some cards printed up with yours and your partner's names, a photo, your room number and your interests. It's a fun way to introduce yourself and share your information. Check out our tips on creating couple's cards. 

Umbrella 
You just never know when it's going to rain in New Orleans. We can go from sunny to stormy weather really quick. You might want to pack an umbrella for the quick walk over from the NOPSI to Colette, or just while touring the city. 

Light Jacket 
It's not going to be freezing in New Orleans while you're here in November, but we have gotten some cool breezes coming through, especially in the evening. Pack a light jacket just in case you get cold, plus it's great to bring on the plane. 

Fanny Pack 
This is a New Orleans MUST! Fanny packs are great because you can put your essentials in it (phone, room key, condoms, cards, makeup, etc...) and keep it on you while keeping your hands free and not compromising your outfit. There are tons of cute fanny packs at any of the tourist shops in the Quarter if you prefer to get one in New Orleans. 

Any medications you may need 
Please don't forget to take care of yourself. Be sure to bring any medications, vitamins or supplements that you need. Don't put yourself in a position where you'll end up spending your Naughty N'awlins time feeling like crap! 

Swimsuit 
Wait, didn't you just tell us to bring a light jacket? Yes we did! But with the NOPSI allowing us to use their rooftop space with a pool for our rooftop parties and the copious amounts of people in the city who have their own pools and hot tubs, who's to say you won't find yourself in a situation where you will need your swimsuit?
