Why getting hot and sticky might be the sexiest part of summer.
There’s something about summer that makes us want to be touched. Maybe it’s the heat. Maybe it’s the humidity. Maybe it’s the fact that everything feels easier to shed. Clothes. Inhibitions. Expectations.
And then there’s sweat. The misunderstood byproduct of desire, movement, and 90-degree subway platforms. We try to wipe it away, but maybe we shouldn’t. Sweat tells a story. Of bodies in motion. Of heat between people. Of contact that lingers.
Some couples are into it. Not just tolerating it, but loving it. The smell. The closeness. The sheen of skin-on-skin that feels less like mess and more like chemistry. Sweat becomes its own kind of language. A sign of effort. Of release. Of being all in.
It’s the post-run kiss. The shared towel at the beach. The humid-night hookup where no one cares if the sheets stay clean. Sweat blurs the line between effort and ease. Between doing something and feeling everything. Between your skin and theirs.
At maude, we think sweat deserves more credit. It means you're alive. It means you're close. And when it’s time to rinse off, we’re here for that too.
wash is our pH-balanced body wash and bubble bath that softens skin after the slick. oil brings hydration back into the picture and replenishes what sweat, salt, and sun take away. Together, they make summer skin something worth leaning into.
So go ahead. Run hot. Touch freely. Sweat it out.
The intimacy of summer starts on the skin.
