I asked 10 different women what they bring to a booty call
Whether preparing for a fire drill, earthquake, or booty call, failing to plan may in some cases be planning to fail. Definitely for the former two. At the very least though, you want to be in a place where you feel good, prepared, and chill so that you can enjoy your experience more.
I figured that in this day in age (and likely since the beginning of time hello, women have needs) the booty call™ has become a fairly routine ritual in our social arena. And once you establish that you’re ready, willing, and able, to go hang (or ready for them to come to you because you don’t leave your house for anyone) having some measures in place may help bring you peace of mind.

Here’s how ten different women go about their hook up endeavors. Surprisingly, each person brought up something different, though there were definitely some recurring themes:
“I always need to have a toothbrush, condoms, and my contact lens case.”
Okay, that’s fair. Definitely fair, assuming the contacts themselves are being worn. We’re off to a good start.
“If I know I’m gonna sleep over, I bring like workout clothes for the next day’s outfit. Like leggings and a T-shirt.”
Ooooh, that’s planning ahead on a whole other level.
“One time I went to Netflix and chill with a DVD of season 1 of The Office because neither one of us had Netflix.”
Lmao, achievement unlocked.
“Mouthwash, chapstick, and a toothbrush.”
Just definitely mouth things in general.
“Makeup remover wipes, fuck everything else. Makeup remover wipes are the number one most important thing you need to have on you. You don’t want to go to sleep with makeup on, and wake up feeling like shit, ya know? Oh, and along the same lines, makeup essentials in general.”
I actually hadn’t considered this, but it definitely makes sense. I feel like I should take this a step further and just bring makeup wipes with me everywhere, given that I always seem to be looking for an excuse to fall asleep in my makeup.
“Moisturizer, and perfume. Like those lowkey Bath and Body works ones that don’t smell too strong but make your hair smell nice.”
True. You know the ones.
“I wouldn’t really bring anything with me, save my phone. Looking back at past experiences, I just Uber there with nothing but my phone in hand.”
Honestly, yeah. This is hella realistic. But what’s a phone without…
“A phone charger is absolutely key. I never trust the other person to have a working phone charger for my phone model, and my worst nightmare is being stranded at someone’s house with a dead phone.”
That’s also a fact. What if you pull up to some dude’s house and he has a Blackberry bold and you’re just staring blankly at him/it with your dead iPhone in hand? But also, marry him if he has a Blackberry bold.
Get ready for one of my favorite answers:
“I bring setting spray so my makeup lasts all sex long. Urban Decay all nighter lives up to its name.”
And another classic:
“I bring snacks. Nothing crazy, just like pretzels and stuff. Sex makes me hungry! I always eat in the Uber home.”
Amazing. It’s like a sex field trip! So wholesome.
Don’t let this list psych you out and make you think you need all, or even any of the aforementioned things to be prepared to hook up with someone. But it’s definitely interesting to see how one woman’s snack is another one’s setting spray… if that makes sense.
