GOOD LUCK Over a Weekend Away

GOOD LUCK Over a Weekend Away: Pack Less, Go Slower

Three days, one small bag, and the device that takes up the least space is the one you'll actually use.

What to pack for a weekend with GOOD LUCK, why the charger can stay home, and why the slowest setting travels better than the one you use at home.

The Short Answer

Bring the wand, a pouch, and 2 ounces of water-based lubricant. Leave the charger unless you're gone more than four days. GOOD LUCK runs about 100 minutes at a mid setting and charges in 75, and 2.9 ounces means it costs you almost nothing in bag space. On the trip, stay on the lowest settings. A strange bed is already enough novelty.

Three Items, Not Six

Most people pack a kit. A wand, two lubricants, a towel, a case, a charger, a backup device.

For two or three nights, that's a bag within a bag. GOOD LUCK is 3.6 inches, so it fits in a toiletry pouch, a sock, or the inside pocket of a jacket.

The list is the wand, the pouch, and the lubricant. Everything else is optional, and most of it goes unused.

  • Wand: one.
  • Pouch: cotton or a clean sock.
  • Lubricant: water-based, 2 ounces, decanted if the bottle is bigger.

Why the Charger Can Stay Home

At about 100 minutes of runtime, a three night trip with one 15 minute session per night uses less than half the pack.

Charge to roughly 70 percent before you leave and you're covered. That's also the healthiest range for a pack that's going to sit in a bag for a few days.

If the trip runs past four nights, bring a short USB-C cable. A 20 minute top-up on a laptop covers another two sessions, and 75 minutes from empty is short enough that you don't need to plan around it.

The Slow Session in an Unfamiliar Bed

A hotel bed is the wrong height, the pillows are the wrong firmness, and the room has a different kind of quiet. Your body notices all of it.

That's the argument for going slower, not faster. The first time you use it in a hotel room, the counterintuitive part shows up: the room supplies the novelty, so the session doesn't need to.

Start on setting one of the 8 and stay for 10 minutes. At about 40 dB, the wand is quieter than the air conditioning in most hotel rooms, which means you can hear the room and the room can't hear you.

Airports, Security, and Hotel Rooms

A 2.9 ounce device in a pouch inside a carry-on doesn't look like anything. That's the advantage of the size, and it's the reason this is an easier travel device than a full wand.

The battery goes in the cabin, not a checked bag. That's standard for anything with a lithium cell, and it applies whether the device is large or small.

In the room, leave it in the pouch inside your bag rather than on the nightstand. Before bed, zip the pouch and put it back in the same pocket every night, because housekeeping makes beds and a made bed with a device on it invites a question you don't need to answer.

Coming Home

Wash it before it goes back in the drawer. Hotel rooms are humid, and a device that sat in a closed bag for three days picks up whatever was in the air.

Then charge to about 60 percent and store it. Don't leave it at 10 percent for a month, and don't top it to full for something you won't touch until the next trip.

The honest downside of traveling with GOOD LUCK is that it's small enough to lose. A 3.6 inch device in an unfamiliar room disappears into a bedsheet. Keep it in the pouch and keep the pouch in one place.

When It's Not Worth Bringing

Skip it for a one night trip. The packing and unpacking costs more attention than the session is worth.

Skip it if you're sharing a room. At 40 dB it's quiet, but quiet isn't silent, and a shared room removes the door that makes quiet work.

And don't bring it if you're already carrying too much. A weekend bag that's tight on space turns a 2.9 ounce device into a decision every time you pack.

Who Should Leave It at Home

If you want one device for both home and travel and you also want heat, this isn't it. GOOD LUCK has no heating element, and a weekend in a cold hotel room is the wrong time to discover that.

If your trips are long and you use the device daily, bring the charger and stop doing arithmetic. The runtime is good, not infinite.

Late at night in a strange city, the low settings and a closed door are the whole plan. That's enough.

Fits in the Corner of a Bag

Travel favors small. A device that takes no space is a device you'll actually bring.
