The Liberator Wedge was one of those products I’ve heard enough about from sex blogger circles that it seemed almost legendary. It felt like the Magic Wand, or the Vixen Mustang, or the njoy Pure Wand, or the Aslan Jag– a product I would lust after the idea of, but never actually own myself, because there’s enough hype around these products that nobody wants another review, and it’s hard to justify that expense myself. Even though I’d had enough of a great experience with an inflatable sex pillow to be pretty sure the Liberator Wedge would be an excellent addition to my sex life, I filed it under my mental ‘want but will never buy’ list.
Except then I impulse bought one in the Black Friday sales.
I won’t lie, the Liberator Wedge is not cheap. At $87.99 or £94.99, it’s a sizeable investment. The only reason I was able to afford one on my budget was by combining a bunch of discounts, and even then I wasn’t sure if I was making a wise investment. But knowing what I know now, I’d absolutely pay full price for one. The Wedge is utterly worth it.
Put simply, the Wedge is a foam pillow that changes the angles of bodies during sex. The foam core is wrapped in a waterproof liner and then a cloth cover that comes in various colours (mine is blue, but purple, red, and black are also available). The regular sized Wedge has a length of 14 inches, a width of 7 inches, and a diagonal wide of 24 inches, although a plus-size version is available if those dimensions might be a bit small for you.
It doesn’t sound like much, but the 27 degree shift that the Wedge creates adds a huge amount of difference. The microfibre cover is really comfortable against skin while not being slippery, and the foam… oh my gosh the foam. I underestimated how much of a difference the perfect firmness of foam would make, and I’m kicking myself now. Even with three people on top of it, the Wedge maintains its shape and provides support while having enough give that it’s still comfortable.

A lot of the suggested uses for the Wedge involve penis-in-vagina sex, but even though that’s not a kind of sex I have, I was able to find plenty of ways in which the Wedge added to my partnered sex. The most obvious way is strap-on sex, where the Wedge functioned similarly to how it would during PiV sex. The extra few inches made it way easier for me to angle thrusts for g-spot simulation during missionary, and a partner who has hip issues mentioned the Wedge’s foam was way more comfortable for him than a pile of pillows.
The Wedge also worked really well for doggy style sex, pushing my partners’ hips up to an angle that made penetration easier for me, while holding their bodies up in a way that was comfortable. The Wedge also really works for anal strap-on sex in pretty similar ways. It’s also been really great for oral sex, especially for oral sex on vulvas. The angle eases the neck strain I sometimes get from giving head, and frees up my arms if I want to use toys on partners while going down on them.
One of my favourite ways to use the Wedge is during fisting, although that might be because I’m just a huge fisting fan in general. Those few inches make it way easier for me to find a good angle for insertion, making sure it’s comfortable for both my and my partner. It doesn’t hurt that the angle created by the Wedge gives me a much better look at my partner’s body while I’m fisting them.
The only reason I say ‘one of my favourite ways’ rather than ‘my favourite way’ is that another way I’ve taken to using the Wedge is for spanking. While I do love bending somebody over the knee, it’s not always the most comfortable thing, and while telling somebody to put their ass in the air can be great from a D/s perspective, the person I do spanking play with most often gets back pain from having to keep that position. The Wedge provides a great solution, propping their butt up in a way that doesn’t strain their back.
While I adore my Wedge, I definitely recognise why it’s not something that works for everyone. As well as being pretty expensive, the Wedge is also quite bulky. I have quite a small room- I can just about fit a wardrobe, a double bed, and a bookcase in there. While I’ve managed to find a way to store the Wedge – on top of the Wardrobe – it’s still very much a tight squeeze. If, like me, you live in a super small flat, the Wedge might not be the best choice for you (I’d instead potentially point to the Dame Pillo). Similarly, the size of the Wedge means it’s not very portable, which might be frustrating if your sex life doesn’t tend to centre on one location.
While the Wedge is pricey, it’s made such a positive impact on my sex life that I’m absolutely converted. The hype around the Wedge was totally truthful, and knowing what I know now, I absolutely would pay full price for the Wedge. If the size and cost of the Wedge are issues for you, I think that’s totally understandable, but if they both fit within your lifestyle, I would absolutely recommend the Wedge. Like, I can’t overstate how much I recommend the Wedge.
