The Liberator Wedge/Ramp combo at first glance appears to be a pair of assistive devices designed to help those with physical limitations achieve intercourse, much like a hammer is an assistive device to help you drive nails. Not particularly sexy.
However, while the Liberator Wedge/Ramp combo can certainly be used in that fashion, it is more useful as a set of tools to expand or enhance your sexuality. It is one of the few truly useful toys on the market. The Wedge/Ramp combo is useful by any couple regardless of gender identity or gender. All you have to be is human.
The Wedge and Ramp can be used separately to adjust the angle of hips and/or shoulders. One partner can lay down on their back, using the Wedge or Ramp to angle the hips upward adding a new dimension to oral sex. It is especially useful if you or your partner are plus-sized (like so many of us are!). If the receiving partner is male, this position moves the penis up and proud, and has the added bonus of bringing the anus into position for easier penetration for prostate stimulation. If the receiver is female, this position brings the vulva up as well as allowing her to open up wide and more comfortably for easier and deeper access to all her deliciousness, and of course she might enjoy some anal stimulation as well!
If the receiving partner lays over on their belly, the Ramp or Wedge can be used in a similar fashion to raise the angle of the hips allowing easier access for both vaginal and anal penetration. Both the Ramp and Wedge can be used with the receiving partner standing or kneeling as well. Just place the Ramp or Wedge right at the end of the bed, thickest part toward the end, bend your partner over and take them any way you like. Pegging anyone?
The Wedge and Ramp both come with micro-fiber covers in various colors. When the Wedge and Ramp are used together, the covers cling to each other and do not slip. This is especially great when the sex is on the vigorous side, and believe me, the more you use these items, the more vigorous your sex will get. The best part about the covers is that they are easy to get on and off and are fully machine washable (follow the directions!). Speaking from experience, bodily fluids and water based lubes wash right out, and the covers do not shrink or become distorted by washing. They are just as easy to get back on after washing as they are when first delivered.
The only thing that limits the use of these items is the imagination of the users. They can be used on any firm surface, such as the bed or even on the floor. We take them with us when we travel. There are carry bags available, but I have no problem carrying our bright blue cushions through the hotel lobby. What's the worst that could happen? Someone assumes we have an active sex life? I could wish that on everyone.
Sadly, we didn't get travel bags with ours. Did you get yours directly from Liberator? Perhaps they had a special offer where they offered travel bags. I'd love to get travel bags for ours, if I could find them.
Funny you mentioned taking them with you when you travel because I love ours so much that I we had just discussed the impracticality of taking them with us when we travel -- particularly if we travel by plane. But it is tempting to take a large suitcase devoted solely to them, LOL!
@Selective Sensualist - I bought my Wedge here at EF and received a carrying bag but, if memory serves me correctly, our Ramp didn't. (Odd.) However, you can purchase travel bags directed from the Liberator store if you want one.
We've had our for years and I don't honestly remember if we purchased the carry bags separately or if they were included. Liberator runs several promotions throughout the year and the bags might have been the promotion that was running at that time. Funny thought about travelling by plane.. TSA agent: "Why is this suitcase so light?"
"Oh.. Those are just the sex cushions..."
