If you’ve ever fought with your partner over who’s going to have to sleep in the wet patch or you want to save your mattress, you’re going to want to read this.
Yes, Splash Blanket is the blanket designed specifically for sex and this Aussie-born brand is making waves (ahem).
Whether you’re into steamy sploshing sessions, squirting or just find the wet patch a pain, these blankets promise to keep your bed dry and your sheets pristine.
Forget the old, stained towel you and your partner have resigned to catching sexytime fluids, Splash Blanket has a range of absorbent blankets that bring practicality and buttery-soft fabric into the bedroom.
It might sound unusual, but the brand has become a cult favourite almost overnight, thanks to sold-out drops like the Sunflower Blanket and a soon-to-air feature on Netflix – yes, you read that right.
The Sunflower Splash Blanket
Featuring a vibrant sunflower print created by a Perth-based mural artist, The Sunflower Splash Blanket is a limited-edition 2m round design that holds any spills or splashes that come its way. It feels soft, it’s machine washable and suitable for use in the bedroom, outside as a picnic blanket or as a sofa throw for cosy evenings.
Created in collaboration with a West Australian artist known for splashing giant sunflowers across the coast, the Sunflower Splash Blanket sold out in just one week, proving there’s a serious need for blankets that do more than just keep you cosy.
Our standout pick in Splash Blanket’s range? That would be the SoakHer Splash Blanket – a red and black design that’s soft, stylish, and surprisingly absorbent.

In fact, the SoakHer can hold up to two litres of liquid, all while feeling just like your favourite cosy throw – impressive!
The benefits of such an absorbent blanket aren’t limited to intimacy though. These blankets are ideal for bedwetting children, anyone with incontinence issues and pets.
It might sound niche, but this popular Aussie product is now popping up at The Play (LA’s most exclusive adult play party), a soon-to-be-aired Netflix spotlight, and the bedrooms of couples around the world.
And honestly? We can see why – no one ever looked forward to sleeping in the wet patch or changing the sheets at 2am, right?
