5 Ways to Keep It Quiet When You’re Home for Christmas

The holidays are here, and while we’re all excited about family time, festive food, and cosy vibes, we also know that sometimes, things can get a little… awkward when it comes sex. Whether you're sneaking some alone time for seasonal stress relief, hooking up with the only hometown hottie on Hinge or tucked up in your partner's parents' tiny spare room right next to distant rellies, we’ve got you covered when it comes to getting off without disturbing everyone's silent night. Here are five ways to keep it quiet when you're home for Christmas — because some things are better left unsaid… or at least, kept a little quieter. 

1. Soundproof Your Surroundings

Let’s be real: Sometimes, the best way to stay incognito during the holidays is to get creative with your surroundings. Need a little "me time" away from prying eyes? Pile up the pillows, throw a few blankets over yourself, and create a cozy little fort in your bedroom. Not only will you be snug as a bug in a rug, but you'll also keep things on the down-low, if you catch our drift. No one will know what’s happening behind those fluffy walls.

2. Keep the Background Noise Going

Distractions are your best friend when you're trying to keep things under wraps. Turn on your favourite Christmas movie (preferably one with loud carols or a lot of action - yes, die hard does count as a Christmas film) to cover up any sounds that may give away your secret plans. Mariah Carey’s high notes will keep everyone distracted—trust us, no one will question why the room suddenly sounds like it’s filled with ahem extra holiday cheer.

3. Timing Is Everything

Timing is key when it comes to sneaking around during the holidays. When the family is in a food coma after Christmas dinner, or when they’re all out for a walk to burn off those gingerbread cookies, that’s your moment. Make sure to take advantage of off-peak hours—mid-afternoon or after everyone’s headed to bed—when you can enjoy a little quiet time without feeling like you're in a reality show.

4. Opt for Discreet Fun

Sometimes you just need a little solo time, and the holidays are the perfect excuse to take things into your own hands (pun, intended). With Cindy, you don’t have to worry about loud noises or awkward moments. Cindy is sound-tested at under 50 decibels (which is equivalent to a whisper) so no worry about getting caught out with an unexplained buzzing coming from the bedroom... 

5. Have a cover story prepared (if you do get caught) 

"What was that noise?"—Just say you were wrapping gifts. Or you were watching a film that had a very raunchy scene in it. If you can't get out of it, Sometimes it’s just better to lean into the awkwardness. Christmas is about love, sharing, and being true to yourself, right? Whether you’re explaining your personal wellness routine or just laughing off an accidental slip-up, there’s no shame in prioritising your sexual health and pleasure.
