Silky Sheets
So, Silky Sheets is this awesome product that is supposed to make your sheets feel… well… silky, no matter what they’re actually made of. It’s also supposed to help dry up the wet spot and contain pheromones to make you feel sexay sexay.
In my experience so far it does one of those three things.
Silky sheets comes in a 4 oz aluminum spray can with a aerosol spray nozel and a plastic cap. Each can is color coordinated to match the scent – sort of. I have the orange mango – which has an orange band around the can – and the vanilla – which has a yellow. The can also has images of the scent. The vanilla has a picture of a vanilla bean and flower, the orange mango a picture of an orange and a mango. (Surprise!) The cans are light weight, easy to hold, easy to spray. The spray works well and has never clogged on me so far – though you should make sure you shake it before each use or you’ll get a stream of white stuff that isn’t aerated.
Ingredients are denatured alcohol, talc, propane, butane, fragrance, mineral oil and some other chemicals that I don’t recognize. This isn’t something you want to spray on the body – primarily because talc can cause issues with breathing and has been shown to be unsafe for women used in the genital area. I absolutely recommend spraying it lightly upon the bed and waiting a bit before you get in so you don’t “poof” up a bunch of talc that can get in eyes, sinuses, lungs, etc.
So. Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s get down to how it work, hmmm?
I like it. I’ve bought it twice now simply because it really does make my sheets feel nice. Does it make them feel like silk? Nah, not really. But it does make them feel softer, more pleasant to slide into and it smells fantastic. I particularly like that I can use it to freshen my sheets up if I haven’t had a chance to wash them in a few days. I get night sweats and don’t have time to wash my sheets daily so Silky Sheets is a godsend. It makes the sheets feel good and smell fresh, which makes me eager to climb into them. It also freshens them up again when you’re done having sex but don’t want to rip them off and replace them in the sleepy afterglow.
I do not find it very effective at drying the wetspot, however. If it’s a very slight spot, the talc will dry it more quickly than it would dry alone but I tend to squirt a lot and it just doesn’t work for a puddle. I didn’t expect it to, however, so I am not disappointed.
As for the pheromones, I don’t notice them and neither does my partner. I do believe my cat likes them, though, because he hops up and rolls around on the sheets the second I spray this stuff! Heh. Pheromones are an odd thing, though, and don’t always effect everyone so I’m not disappointed there, either. The scents are super pleasant, though, and lift the mood a bit so there’s that.
Spraying is easy; simply shake the can well, take off the cover and spray lightly and quickly in a side to side motion. The spray comes out continuously when you hold down the button, stops when you let it up – just like aerosol hair spray. Make sure you don’t have a fan or air conditioner running in the room or the powdery mist will go in the air rather than on the bed. If your sheets are dark, you may get some talc-y white spots but they wash out. With light sheets you can’t see it at all.
The scents are both nice; sweet but not cloying. They fill the room but don’t overpower you. The vanilla is a soft, warm vanilla and the orange mango is a bit like a Stewarts Orange Cream soda or a creamsicle. I chose the sweeter scents because they agree with me and I’ve read the breeze and rain type scents are a bit stronger and heavier, more like a cleaner or detergent or air freshener.
Silky sheets can be used on curtains, blankets, sheets, even carpet or clothes, I guess. Just don’t use it on your pillows since you don’t want to be breathing in talc all night while you sleep! Clean up by washing your sheets, etc as usual.
I got mine at EdenFantasys, my favorite spot for all things sex, sextoys, sensual and awesomesauce.

Every time I see your name light up in my feed reader I get excited… till I see it’s a review. :P
Not that you don’t write kick ass reviews. Just I like reading your rants and how your days are going. :)
Ya know, the vanilla’s too much for us. But I think that’s mostly because of how tiny our apartment is. A single two-second spray smells up the whole place.
