What Is Exclusivo Mezcla?
Exclusivo Mezcla is a budget home goods brand selling primarily through Amazon. Their sherpa blankets are popular for general softness and value. Their waterproof line is specifically a picnic/outdoor waterproof blanket — not an indoor intimate blanket — which creates important practical limitations.
The waterproof picnic blanket uses 3-layer construction (brushed fabric top + microfiber + 210D Oxford backing) and retails for $10–$45* depending on size. The sherpa blankets ($15–$35*) are very soft but are NOT waterproof — only the picnic line is.
The Picnic Blanket Problem
A picnic blanket and a sex blanket have different design priorities. Picnic blankets are designed to sit on grass, repel ground moisture, pack into a small bag, and handle outdoor debris. They're typically stiffer, have a coated or Oxford backing that feels hard against skin, and are optimized for outdoor use rather than comfort in direct skin contact.
The 210D Oxford backing — the material that makes picnic blankets waterproof — is a woven nylon fabric with a stiff, crunchy texture. Against bare skin during sex, this is not comfortable. It's also loud when you move on it, which is the opposite of what you want.
Exclusivo Mezcla's sherpa blankets are genuinely soft and comfortable but are not waterproof — they'll soak through immediately during intimate use.

Verdict
Exclusivo Mezcla is a fine outdoor brand for outdoor use. For intimate bed use, they don't have a product that works — the waterproof option is designed for picnics (uncomfortable for skin contact), and the soft options aren't waterproof. This is a case where no compromise exists: you need the POUND PAD or another purpose-built sex blanket.
The $10* price point is appealing but it's $10* for something designed for entirely different conditions.
The Right Tool for the Right Job
Don't put a picnic blanket on your bed. The POUND PAD is made for exactly this — soft, waterproof, comfortable.

Are Exclusivo Mezcla sherpa blankets waterproof?
No. Their sherpa blankets are very soft but have no waterproofing. Only the outdoor picnic blanket line is waterproof. That product is not comfortable for intimate use.
Can you use a picnic blanket as a sex blanket?
Functionally, the waterproofing works. But picnic blanket backing materials are designed for ground contact, not skin contact — they're stiff, noisy, and uncomfortable during intimate use. A purpose-built sex blanket is dramatically more comfortable.
What's the cheapest purpose-built sex blanket?
The POUND PAD at ~$89* is in the mid-range for purpose-built sex blankets. Below that, you're looking at the budget Amazon options (PetAmi, YISURE) which are functional but not designed for intimate use.
