The monsoon reaches Kerala in early June and covers most of India by July, and for four months, until about the end of September, plans get rained out. That is not a bad thing. A wet evening is a good excuse to stay in, cook something warm and spend real time together. Here are date ideas for rainy days at home, how to look after intimate products in humid weather, and a few picks for a cosy night in. New to intimate products? Read our guide to sex toys in India first.
Order-by dates (we dispatch in 1 to 2 days; delivery takes 3 to 7 days across India)
- Rain slows couriers. During the monsoon, allow two or three extra days on top of the usual 3 to 7.
- For a date or an anniversary, order at least 10 days ahead.
- In flood-prone areas, check the delivery estimate at checkout before you order.
Rainy-day date ideas at home
- Chai and pakoras, together. Cook as a team, eat by the window and leave the phones in another room.
- The power-cut kit. Candles, a torch, a card game and a speaker on battery. A blackout becomes a date.
- A rain walk, then a warm shower. Ten minutes in the rain, then dry off and warm up together.
- Slow massage night. Damp evenings are perfect for a massage with warm oil and soft music.
- Old photos, new stories. Dig out the albums or scroll back to the year you met, and tell each other what you remember. It is surprisingly romantic.
- Cook a dish from your first trip. Recreate a meal from a holiday you took together, and plan the next one while it simmers.
- Board games and blankets. Our guide to couples sex games sorts games from sweet to bold, and our date night ideas at home has fifteen more.
Picks for a cosy night in
A massage candle (₹2,199), a romantic card game (₹1,499), a deck of position cards (₹399) and a water-based lube (₹799) make a good rainy-season kit. The grid is live from our shelves.

- Dry every toy fully before you put it away. Damp silicone in a closed box is where mould starts.
- Store toys in a breathable cotton pouch, with a sachet of silica gel in the drawer.
- Keep chargers and charging ports dry, and never charge a toy that is still wet. Our charging guide explains more.
- Clean before and after use with warm water and mild soap; our guide on how to clean sex toys covers each material.
Waterproof is worth it in the monsoon
A waterproof toy is easier to clean thoroughly and copes better with humidity. Our waterproof sex toys collection lists every one we stock, from simple bullets (₹799) to couples toys.

The monsoon is also the season of short trips: the ghats around Lonavala, the coffee hills of Coorg, the green coast of Goa out of season. Hotels are quieter and cheaper, and a rainy weekend in a room with a view is a romantic break in its own right. Pack light: a travel-size lube, a small rechargeable toy if you both want one, a quick-dry towel and a zip pouch to keep everything dry on the way. Our list of honeymoon essentials works for any couples trip, and our guide to travelling with sex toys covers security checks and hotels.
