Rediscovering Passion: Intimacy Tips for Your New Chapter

Revive Your Bedroom Olympics: Tips to Bring Back the 'Wow' in Your 'Bow Chicka Wow Wow.'

Let’s face it, you’ve just spent the last year or so being the glorious vessel for new life. Now, six to twelve months postpartum, you're juggling diaper changes, baby naps, and your own sleep-deprived sanity. The newly acquired 'Mom' title is just another gold medal to add to the list, right next to your 'Laundry Queen' and 'Chief Snack Officer' crowns. But, darling, don’t forget about the spark in your relationship that needs attention, too. It’s time to revive those bedroom Olympics and relight the flame in your love life. Spoiler alert: It’s more than okay if your intimate endeavors aren’t going for gold just yet.

If you can find matching socks, you can find time for intimacy.

First things first, let's recalibrate our expectations. This isn't Hollywood; it’s real life—where spit-up replaces champagne and leggings are now acceptable dinner attire. But that’s okay! In fact, it’s better than okay. It's a canvas for your own happily-ever-now. Intimacy doesn’t have to wait for the perfect moment. It’s about creating moments amidst the chaos and embracing the unscripted scenes of parenthood.

“Baby-proofing” your love life is just as important as baby-proofing your home.

Hey, mama, once upon a time, “baby-proof” meant not having little

humans around when you wanted to get down and dirty. Now, it's about maximizing the quality and spontaneity in those small windows of opportunity that pop up between nap times and feeding schedules. Create a love den with dim lighting and, if possible, a dash of baby magic sleep dust. Schedule mini date nights when your little bundle is having ZZZs time, even if it’s just a Netflix session with tangled legs and no toddler demand in the background.

When was the last time someone undid your bra faster than you could say 'Wiggles'?

Your body may not look or feel the same, but guess what? Your partner still thinks you're the hottest being in the universe and has no problem singing you the “can't keep my hands off of you” lullaby. That being said, your confidence may be feeling a little battered these days. Enter Emporiomama—a.k.a that pair of leggings that’ll have you feeling as sexy as pre-baby you. While you embrace this journey back to intimacy, squeeze into some Mum Tum leggings and flaunt your curves with attitude!

Every mom needs a cape, even if it's just a fitted stretchy one.

Communication might have been plentiful pre-baby, but now it's reduced to "The baby’s crying" or "Pass me the wipes." It's time to restart the partnership conversation. Make the first move—playfully text your partner a cheeky innuendo, or set a suggestive GIF in motion to add sp

ice and anticipation to routine days. A rise in texting temperatures can heat things up long before the pajamas come off at night.

Think of spontaneity as adult playtime. Who said you can’t schedule some playdates for yourselves, too?

Chances are, you’ve invested in some industrial-strength yoga pants. Whether you’re chasing toddlers or burning calories on a midnight fridge run, they're as flexible as you are. Before you retire them to laundry day, check out the Mum Tum leggings at EmamaCo. With a pair that fits like a dream, you can feel great and prep for those moments when your steamy intentions align with the planets.

Adult sleepovers without a “sleep” clause—because the gym isn’t the only place to exercise!

Postpartum intimacy is not a sprint; it's a slow, beautifully chaotic waltz. It’s about adjusting your rhythm as you twirl through busy days and nights. After all, what's more attractive than a mom who knows her worth and revels in glamming herself up like the goddess she is—be it in stilettos, sneakers, or beautifully stretchy maternity leggings? Embrace those perfectly imperfect parent-love moments and remember, your best love stories are yet to be written.

Luxury follow-up sessions typically require nothing more than an open heart and shared duvet.

In our chic, post-baby world, let’s not mistake what’s real. Intimacy is perseverance among all emotions and responsibilities parenthood brings. Stir together love, laughter, and leggings, and you'll make magic. Be cheeky. Be fabulous. Above all, be daring while you pen the love letters across your own mattress novel. Until next time, mamas, keep the oven gloves close for those steamy moments—dodging sippy cups and grabbing life by its glorious cherries.

This is your new chapter, darling—and it's beautifully, saucily yours.
