i'm sure a large majority of us have SO's, and find it a bit hard to explain the Strawberry, Apple, Fruity girly smell shit...

right?

i believe providers (if they offer showers) should have standard stuff, like: odorless or standard soaps, washcloths, basic shampoos. it's not that expensive to get a giant generic shampoo/soap combo, shit charge me the extra 2.50 if you have to.


i know a couple of ladies that have EVERYTHING under the sun, they are super prepared and have everything covered...that's why they're so highly rated i guess eh?


can you guys add to the required list?

Bring your hobby bag with soap, wash cloth, towel, tooth paste, tooth brush, condoms, etc. That way you are prepared. Even if a provider has the items sometimes guys are greedy and use all the towels before you arrive for your appointment.

... I'd have preferred a moist-towelette...

Make me stinky.  My SO can lump it.  But that's just me.

and some manly smelling dial soap in the shower, some axe deoderant, for them to use afterwards, they are very pampered by me!

seeeee! tha's the spirit. good for you!

I use a body wash that has a neutral, slightly deoderant smell. I like the clean fresh smell, and it wouldn't raise any eyebrows at all if a man left with that smell. Also, I have an extra comb and brush, mouthwash, and deoderant. Also, I do not use perfume on myself. Instead, I use a fragrant body spray that is very pleasant, but is not so heavy that it will rub off on a gentleman and follow him home

Those things are easy to keep around - but I wouldn't have thought to have them available had it not been for the TER discussion boards. This was just one of many lessons and insights I have gleaned from this website

I've wondered this, too. Some unscented soap would certainly alleviate some worries. Sadly, shampoo doesn't matter much anymore.

YES I believe they should. I provide man stuff in the shower to wash with and also a man smelling shampoo/conditioner in there as well as clean wash cloths. I have a basket with disposable 99 cent tooth brushes, 3 different kinds of tooth paste, my favorite mouth wash with paper cups to use as well as a small brush, comb, deoderant and man smelling body spray should they elect to squirt some on. I believe that it's important for my date to be fresh before AND after a date with me. I know it may be more than standard but that's just me. I prefer to have my date feeling super good when he leaves, usually with a soda and an individually wrapped cookie I may add. I tend to make them work up an appetite

Is great... because there is no scent.  I also keep a man's bath gel for the gents who prefer something masculine and scented.. Irish Spring Shower Gel.

I have always provided: a fresh washcloth,towel, neutral smelling body soap, deodorant, mouthwash, and for those who don't want to shower: a washcloth, hand towel, and hand soap.

I don't wear perfume, provide hooks to hang clothes up, and make sure the room scent doesn't permeate clothing.

Reove unscented body wash....

Well, we learn something new with each and everyday! I do try to be sure that guys have what they need to shower. However, I really like the idea of providing shower gel especially for the guys.  Thanks!

After all, the parting of the curtain is potentially one of the most exciting moments in theatre, and a robe permits that experience to be mutual without consuming much valuable time.  (And since that shower at the start of an in-call is usually alas on the clock, this is an issue.)  As for supplies to aid cleanliness, the provision of Q-tips might be in the provider's best interest for those clients with cerumenous ears.

When I shop for my personal stuff I also by travel sizes of dove soap, scope, deodorants, disposable toothbrushes and combs.
I stick to the classic and common stuff, I don't buy axes & all the new volcano lava or orange peel scents because I have no idea what the guys like to use.
The men session in the stores have so many new products that I am really lost buying them.
I always get compliments from my clients.
I make sure the bathroom is spotless with plenty of towels, washcloths and all the ammenities to make their visit plesant and comfortable.

There is never going to be a standard.
If something like that is important, you might want to ask/mention that on phone/e-mail while making the appointment.

Showering afterward is not an issue for me, so I get to enjoy her smell for a while.  

I do make sure I've just showered and preped before hand as I don't like starting off wet or waste the time.

When we travel I collect the extra little hotel soaps.  This way we can provide our guests with fresh  bars of soap and shampoo.  I think it makes for a nice touch, and it's hygenic.

Ok ok, I confess, I steal towels too sometimes...

Because I provide outcall only unless I am on tour that has not been a concern for me. When I tour I tend to get extras on the hotel soaps etc along with towels washcloths and other essentials.

I do think that it is a great idea for ladies who regularly offer incall to keep a variety of toilettetries for the gents. I know a number of my gentleman friends like to have a shower before hand and frankly to me that is a great place to start if he enjoys the company (even if I just got out of the shower) For me I always take a shower (or if plenty of time a bubble bath) right before meeting my gents.

When it comes to my goody bag I do try to keep a good variety so as to try to please and fit all needs. I will admit I have not yet thought to include soaps etc.

Also like many ladies when I am entertaining I do not wear perfume or use other personal products that have a strong scent. (of course with a select group of regular clients whom are free to enjoy and have requested that I do so there are some scents I do enjoy using.)

An other thing I have found it is best to do is wear little or no make-up (thank goodness I have a naturaly clear complection). Lord knows I do not want to have one of my friends scrambling to explain that stain on his collar.

Part of the joy of "her2Me"...How many ask to go ahead and hang out for a couple hours at thier place..."Gratis"? ...Always nice to get the occational "overnight" from just the original envelope still sitting in the kitchen at day break... Just can't handle getting trown out a room I paid for before I got a chance to see what movies were playing..lol

From the typical Lever Bar Soap, to the manly smelling body washes, Shampoo/Conditioner, Neutral Smelling and Manly Smelling deodorants and body spray. And of course washclothes/towels! I can't believe that girls wouldn't have this stuff available?!

WOW

I supply shampoo (several brands) hair spray, cologne, mouth wash, several types of soap, unlimited towels, clean showers and baths, oils, powder, booze, coffee juice....you need it you get it at my place!!!

aha, i thought i was the only one who took the washcloths, lol

$2 for a dozen of them. Sometimes I share wine with my clients and I provide them to "brush" their teeth with either at the room or in the car.

As far as washing materials, I have a whole bag of "nuetral" soaps/shampoos/etc that I have taken from 4+ star hotels that I bring along with me just in case the ones supplied are too sweet smelling.

I use hotels for incalls so there is always towels and shampoo, soap..but I do bring mouthwash and keep it out on the counter.

 The other day..a guy came and had a double with me and anoter lady..and his breath was awful..I mean baaaad..I am sure flowers wilted as he walked past!  No kidding it was musky and very strong.

 I politely said to him to feel free to use whatever was in the bathroom..like my soap or ahem my MOUTHWASH!!!!  I guess he didnt take the hint becuase when he came out it was gross...his breath singed my nosehairs!  He wasnt too sweet smelling down there either...

 Hugs, sidny starr

Reove unscented body wash.... Me too! Unscented Shampoo?

Don't forget Q tips.
Good razors - I buy the neon green ones(forgot the brand but they look right). My guys say they are good. Sometimes they are sold out. Which razors are good?
I had piles of stuff(literally) . I love to buy men's products and I am thrilled when they use them.
My favorite body wash is Adidas in the orange bottle.That drives me wild.
They call me back and ask for the name of that one  the most.
They appreciate a brush instead of comb in DC. Comb in Florida. Hairspray and hair gel. They tell me other girls have gel and they need hairspray.Unscented hairspray too.
Guys were calling me organized! I could  cry I was so happy to be called that.
Baby powder. Some people need powder- mostly in the South . My bigger clients are relieved that I have powder for them.
Little things can mean a lot. It makes me happy to have what they need.

Where are ya'll getting the toothbrushes.

I had a lot of bottles out so they can grab the one they use at home. I love this thread . I'm crazy for body care products.

You can usually get a pack of 6 toothbrushes around here for $1.29. Usually listerine in the bathroom is enough though.

*You don't want to bush your teeth TOO close to when the action will begin if you are providing uncovered services b/c it creates little cuts on your gums.

If a provider has a client who is a repeat simply ask him what he uses in the way of name brands.

An established provider should understand that going a little out of her way to ensure a gentleman's: bath gel, shampoo, hair styling gel, razor, shaving cream, deodorant, lotion, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc is actually a part of her customer service.

I have even taken the fabric softener that a gentleman's spouse uses into consideration when deciding to provide a client with linens that have a fabric softener added as opposed to one that has been commercially cleaned and is scent free.

Refreshments to include a gentleman's preferred beverage and finger food or snack has also been a consideration depending on the time of the appointment.

I get the distinct impression what you are questioning is the value to which a provider considers her customer service. If you expect perfection then just raise your bar of expectations, choose the provider accordingly.

Very good post!

I always try to keep a good supply of toiletries on hand because I really appreciate when clients shower before spending time with me.  It makes perfect sense that you must also wash away love scents that always show up after passionate lovemaking.  I don’t know if most realize that saliva and other body fluid all have pungent odors that are very recognizable.  It’s not just the fruity, perfume smells you should be concerned with.  OH, that reminds me- you don’t need to go home with marks on your, and I really don’t like to either.

It’s easy to keep stuff on hand.  When I check into a hotel, typically it’s during the day (between 11am and 3pm) and that’s when housekeeping is doing their magic.  The maid will make or break you, so I treat them very well.  With a big smile and a $20 I approach them, introduce myself and ask for an extra set or 2 of bath linens.  I have never had a maid not ask me if I’d also like extra soap, lotion, etc.  After that initial contact housekeeping is very friendly, helpful and discreet!  Usually you get the same person for the week, so I keep the cash flowing and they are happy to continue to accommodate the extra supplies without prodding.  The toiletries hotel keep on hand almost always are lightly scented, if not unscented.  As for toothbrushes, you can get 10 packs for around $10 in my home town.  Pair that with some travel size toothpaste and zippered all into the outside pocket of my suitcase.  Presto chango, problem solved.

Hope that sheds some light.

OMG! I can't imagine not having those necessary things for my clients.....Hell I even give 'em a good back scrubbing too! lol
