hello, you.

we don't sell sex. we invite intimacy.

There's never been more choice in the bedroom, and yet people are having less sex than ever. We think that's not about what's missing from the drawer. It's about how hard it can be to make the first move.

your move.

Our story

it started with a question.

What if getting closer felt easy? Not awkward, not a big conversation, not a box you hide at the back of the cupboard. Just a game on the coffee table, or a chocolate you split on the sofa.

So we started Playmate Labs. We make soft, playful things that help two people break the ice with each other again. No explicit images and no pressure, just a nudge, a laugh and an invitation.

We call it vanilla, and we say it proudly. Most of us don't want anything wild. We want to feel wanted, and to feel at ease while we're at it.

(that's the whole idea.)

what we believe.

no pressure

Closeness, not performance.

Nobody should feel tested on date night. Our games and treats are gentle openers, and you always choose how far they go.

for everyone

Every couple, every stage.

First month or fifteenth year, nervous or confident. No shame, no stigma. Just two people making a little more room for each other.

made with care

Good things, done properly.

Made in the UK, clearly labelled and made to the FSA and EFSA food rules. Trust is part of intimacy, so we take it seriously.

what we make.

  • Nude. Stack'd A stacking game with three levels: mild, spicy or wild. You pick the pace.
  • Snap'd. Choc Hearts Vanilla, hot honey and black raspberry hearts, made to be broken in half and shared.
  • Melt'd. Hot Choc Spoons Belgian milk chocolate on a spoon. A slow, warm ritual for two.
  • Touch'd. Massage Candles Coming soon. Cocktail-scented candles that melt into a warm massage oil.

Every game has a QR code with the rules and cards in 15+ languages. No app, no download.

Wherever you are with each other, we hope we can make tonight a little easier, and a lot more fun.

with love, the lab x
