Lingerie

This is a very decent online toy shop based in the UK. It carries all the usual suspects (dildos, dolls, butt plugs...). In addition to that, they offer some really unique items such as body jewelry, rude food (chocolate cocks and such), and a much wider selection of fetish wear than I am used to running into on a site such as this. All of the company information and sizing guidelines are easy to find. My only gripe? The run times on the videos and DVDs are not always listed, and some of the sizes are missing on some of the toys. Still, a very good store. -- Vamp » More Info!

This UK shop is a really great stop for those who are looking for clothes and shoes! They offer lingerie, hosiery, rubber, pvc, leather, imitation leather, boots, shoes, uniforms, clubwear, and partywear! They have a size chart to help you find the right fit. In addition to this they offer your standard sex toys, bondage gear, and quite a few little surprisingly harder to find items. My only gripe? Sometimes the toy dimensions are not listed. They do list the battery requirements though, which is a bonus. The site policies are easy to find and thorough contact info is provided. They have some of the coolest shoes around. -- Vamp » More Info!

This site has a very extensive collection of sex toys and lingerie for sale. Each item has a page with a description and picture. Unfortunately a lot of the pictures are just packaging and not very useful. They also leave out important information in the descriptions such as material and size or dimensions. They have a clear return policy and instructions for following it. Customer service contact is via online forms or telephone. » More Info!

This site is for everyone with a SERIOUS sock fetish! This site has a kazillion hard to find socks such as striped thigh highs, super loose socks (which are favorites in Japan and about impossible to find here), and classic lace anklets. The prices are reasonable, and there are a lot of free (and original) pictures of the socks and good descriptions of how they actually function. (In other words, the webmistress clearly states if they stay up or not!) Shipping, privacy, contact, and other customer service info is easy to find. The print can be a tad hard to read at times on the dark background, but I think you'll manage. A little bird told me that the woman who runs this site might decide to wear the socks before shipping them if someone asks nice and pays extra. -- Vamp » More Info!

This site offers hand crafted BDSM equipment made by LordPara. There are ready made toys available, but he can also operate on commission for special items. Current equipment offered includes floggers, cuffs, collars, paddles, gags, and more. The dimensions and materials are usually pretty clear, and ordering is a snap with the shopping cart system. Order information is sent through a secure server (shopfitter.com). Returns policy and shipping info are clear, but I didn't find contact info except for email. There are some design issues, but this site is a pretty darn good home grown BDSM equipment shop! » More Info!

This site has an extremely wide variety of products! The design is very clean and easy to navigate. Some of the products you'll find there are CDROMs, DVDs, Videos, Sex Toys, lingerie, bondage/sm toys, lubes, oils, edible stuff, condoms, perfumes, magazines, and books. Each section lists best sellers and there is a search function that can help you quickly find merchandise. There are a few examples of jewelry and games, but they are still working on that section of the site and there isn't much of a selection. The movies basically list the manufacturer description with a picture of the cover and a basic list information like talent and run time. They actually carry a few anime titles and fans of that genre should be made aware that this store has titles without Japan's export censorship. The brands sold here will be very familiar to those that have cruised sex toy stores before. It is very EASY to find out clear and thorough information about shipping (UPS available), order tracking, returns (30 days satisfaction guarantee for most merchandise and they list exceptions), sizing (women up to 4X and men up to XL), and contact info (snail, fax, email, 800 number). I found the shipping FAQ particularly helpful because it outlines where custom laws may be an issue. This site is a virtual mega store for the couple planning a weekend adventure! -- Vamp » More Info!

Rebecca's is based in the UK, and all prices are in UK pounds, and they do offer a currency converter. Their terms sound very customer friendly, and they express willingness to discuss if you feel you purchase anything that has been misrepresented. In their video department they go one step further and publish their own reviews, including one review that says "this one is a dawg, leave it...". They offer clothing, lotions, vibrators, videos, and - via Amazon.com.UK - books. -- Peter » More Info!

Lingerie for men and women both, with size ranges on various items from 32A bras to 4X teddies and most everything in between. Stockings, thigh high boots, all sorts of items in silk. They offer 'Lingerie Bouquets'; lingerie hand-rolled into the shapes of flowers in a long-stem box. Their selection of adult videos are inexpensive, and you have to admire the honesty of the label on their 4 hour videos: "...these films have no story to them...".

My friend Natasha showed me this site when she was visiting the other day. We were trying to find good slutty shoes to go with a red corset I'd just gotten. This site has a great selection of 500+ styles of shoes and boots. Spikes, platforms, chunky street shoes.. and the best prices I've seen around. I've actually purchased many of these brands in the store, so I had good comparison. Online ordering is available, but there isn't a shopping cart application. If you want to order online you need to jot down item numbers, then type them into the secure online order form. Ordering can also be done by phone, fax or mail. They also have smaller collections of clubwear (skimpy/tight stretch velvet and lycra type stuff) and lingerie. » More Info!

Let me just start by saying this site does have lovely shoes. They have some patterns and styles I've not seen elsewhere, and having somewhat of a thing for slutty platform shoes, I've looked around quite a bit. That said, the site design leaves quite a bit to be desired. It seems like one of those sites that was done a piecemeal, and never quite hooked together right. Navigation is not easy - once you've clicked out of the main index, it's the back button to get home again. There is no easy shopping cart solution. Basically, the online catalog is scans of actual paper catalog pages, and if something looks appealing you need to jot down the item number. Then you have to get back to the main page to link to the price list. Then back again to get to the order form, where you input the item numbers of what you want. You can pay online by credit card or check, do a telephone order, or mail in check/money order/credit info. I think phoning might be the best option - at least then you can make sure of what you're getting and verify the price. And as far as the rest of the design - well, if you want animated gifs and flame backgrounds, you know where to go. » More Info!

This toy store has a thorough return and shipping policy that you can read right up front. The entire site is a webstore application. Each item has a brief description and a thumbnail image. The images link to larger images. The lingerie did not have any size choices. I guess it is all "one size fits most". Telephone, fax and snail mail orders are an option. » More Info!

There is an assortment of toys and plugs and lubes and other miscellaneous items similar to many other sites, but Secure Pleasures also offers a unique assortment of custom-built sexfurniture.

The real life retail store is located in San Francisco, but there are lots of stores that sell Stormy products, and most recently the Stormy website has started to offer online shopping. I have one Stormy bustier myself, and I like it lots. The website includes a photo gallery of fashions from the last several years, a good selection of bdsm links, and the shopping area which includes both bdsm gear and leather. There is a wonderful selection of leather corsets, along with a lacing guide page. They also have leather lingerie, bustiers and more, and a selection of latex. The return/refund/exchange policy was clearly stated, as was a privacy policy. Online ordering is still not the best - the only true online option is via email. Otherwise you can phone, fax or mail your order. » More Info!

Based in London, Axfords is known for their off-the-rack corsets. Most of the selection is fabric or PVC, but there is a small selection of leather as well. The sizing goes up to a 46" waist. You give measurements, they choose a size for you based on that. They also offer stockings, camisoles and wigs. They offer FAQs on lacing, corset history, etc. Prices are quoted in English pounds, but they have a currency converter on the site.

Apple of Eden is run by a woman and her grown daughters, and has a bit more than the usual dildos and naughty bits. One of the best things I noticed is that they know people aren't all the size of Kate Moss - browsing amongst their lingerie and such you will find sizes up to and including 3X. People of size can have a hard time finding erotic wear [I know!], and shops such as this need to be encouraged. In addition to lubes and a few videos or CDs, and their erotic clothing, they are now also starting to move into aromatherapy and other natural products to enhance your love life. The return policy was clearly stated, there was good contact info (including an 800 nbr for customer service inquiries), and they have a place on the site to check the status of your order once you've placed it as well. Shopping cart application works fine, ordering is via credit card, check or money order, online by secure form or by mail. » More Info!

On the web for well over a year, this site has a good selection of lots of different bdsm/fetish items. Gags, blindfolds, cuffs and collars, hardware, corsets, slutty shoes & boots and more. Autumn, the site owners, adds a healthy dose of personality to the site which made me like it even more. Besides just the shopping (shopping cart application, secure ordering, privacy policy), there is also a large editorial section with discussion, Autumn's diary, kink links, and even a selection of photos of Autumn (which are lovely, btw). » More Info!
