Liberator Heart Wedge - Black Microvelvet

The Liberator Heart Wedge in black microvelvet is a compact sex wedge that looks like a decorative cushion. Its curved top is contoured to cradle your backside, and the 7-inch incline tilts the hips upward for a deeper angle and easier G-spot contact. Left on the bed in black, it reads as an ordinary throw pillow, which makes it a practical choice if you'd rather your positioning aid didn't announce itself.

What a sex wedge actually does

Lying back with your hips raised changes the angle of penetration. The front wall, where the G-spot sits, gets more direct contact, and a partner kneeling or standing between your legs gets a better line without straining. Slide the high end under your hips for missionary, or lie face-down across it so your hips stay lifted for rear entry. Because the top is shaped to the curve of your seat, you don't slide off it the way you might with a stack of bed pillows.

A smaller take on the Liberator Wedge

Liberator describes the Heart Wedge as a compact version of its classic Liberator Wedge. At 18 inches wide, 14 inches long and 7 inches high, and about 2 lb, it's easy to move around the bed, tuck into a closet or take on a trip. The trade-off is a slightly smaller platform, so taller people or anyone wanting full torso support may prefer the original wedge.

Lining up partners of different heights

When one partner is noticeably taller, hips often don't meet at the same level in missionary or when one person kneels at the edge of the bed. Raising the lower partner's hips by 7 inches closes much of that gap, so neither of you has to hold an awkward crouch or arch. Try it at the bed's edge with the standing partner on the floor: the wedge brings the hips up to a more comfortable height for both of you.

Wedge or ramp?

A wedge tilts the pelvis sharply over a short distance, which is what changes the angle of penetration. A ramp has a longer, gentler slope that raises the whole torso and works more as a platform. Couples who want both often pair the two: the ramp for height, the wedge on top of or beside it for tilt. If you're only buying one piece, start with the wedge, since it does the most for angle.

The foam and the cover

Inside is fully supportive polyurethane foam, which holds its incline under body weight instead of flattening like a regular pillow. Over it sits a polyester liner that keeps moisture out, so lube and fluids don't soak into the foam. The outer cover is plush faux-velvet microvelvet; it unzips and goes straight in the washing machine.

Setting it up

The wedge arrives vacuum-compressed in a plain, unmarked brown box, so expect a package much flatter than the finished shape. Unwrap it, remove the plastic and leave it to expand fully before using it. Fluffing it gently helps the corners recover.
