The 7 inches you didn’t know you were missing

We decided to try out the “intimacy” pillow going viral on social media. Here’s our honest review.

One thing every man should be asking himself on a regular basis is, “how can I be better in bed?” 

Whether you’re married, single, or dating – there’s always room for improvement. In fact, most studies show that up to 50% of women aren’t satisfied with their sex lives. 

And contrary to popular belief, most performance issues don’t just come down to whether or not you can get it up.

According to Dr. Emily Morse, the famous podcast host of Sex with Emily, an often overlooked factor to great sex is the angles. Dr. Emily says you may not realize that many of our go-to positions are not only not working but can be painful for partners.

To solve for this, she recommends using a wedge pillow. According to her, it can make intercourse feel “deeper and easier.”

She most frequently recommends the Prim by Tabu and after seeing the viral Instagram post below, I decided to give it a go – here's my honest review.

The 7 inch lift does make an impact

I’m not going to lie – I was surprised by how big of a difference a 20 degree change made. By putting the Prim under my wife's hips and lifting her pelvis, I not only had more control during penetration but also easier access to the clitoris. My wife also said it felt “deeper” – which was a nice ego boost.

After trying it out in missionary, I placed it under my hips and had her get on top. This had been an old favorite position that she hadn't been enjoying as much lately but the Prim did the trick. The additional lift took some pressure off of her knees and hips and she just took control. Which I was also very, very into.

I should note that the pillow also came with a booklet that recommends a number of different positions – from spooning to lying from behind and more. We’ve been enjoying the basics a little too much to try anything else but we’re also looking forward to spicing it up in the near future.

It’s actually comfortable

Now this is where we were really sold. A few years back we actually tried out a different wedge pillow that was made out of dense foam. While it provided lift, it was also hard as a rock.

Now, you’re thinking, why can’t you just use a regular pillow? I’ll tell you why. A regular pillow is problematic for two reasons: first, it doesn't hold up under weight, and second, it easily slides out of position during the act.

The Prim sets itself apart by using patented dual memory foam technology – giving it a firm core to maintain lift while still providing a soft foam exterior to keep things comfortable.

We can keep it on our bed

The cherry on top for my wife is that it doesn’t scream, “sex pillow”. It looks like an elegant throw pillow so it’s always on the bed for easy access. To be honest, I’m not sure why we even bother with the other throw pillows but this one is going to stick around.

It also comes with a washable linen cover that’s easy to take on and off. We went with the natural but they also have a darker charcoal gray and a pomegranate for those with a bit more flare.

It’s worth the investment

I was originally a little hesitant about the price (it retails for $195) but I was able to get 10% off by signing up for their email newsletter. What really convinced me though were the reviews… and realizing that my wife probably spends this much every time she gets her hair done.

Here are just a few from their site.
