Babeland

We have top quality adult products for any occasion!

  • Top quality products
  • Award winning service
  • Sleaze-free shopping

Babeland is a sex-positive, boutique retailer selling high quality sex toys, DVDs and erotica. Our first store opened in Seattle in 1993 by co-founders Claire Cavanah and Rachel Venning. Since then the company has grown to include an online store, www.babeland.com, and several other retail locations in New York.

Our mission is to promote and celebrate sexual vitality. We do this by providing an honest, open, and fun environment where people can find information & toys with which to explore their sexuality. We offer only top quality products and strive to make every Babeland a pleasant, comfortable place to shop.

Please join Babeland in celebrating our 15th anniversary! Visit one of our New York stores, which are located in the Lower East Side, SoHo, and Brooklyn. Or, for you left-coasties, stop by our flagship Seattle store on Capitol Hill. We are also online @ www.babeland.com.

Editorial Review for Babeland – by Melissa Kirsch

The Scene
The Lower East Side's Babeland is less a boutique and more a sex-positive clubhouse. Cute hand-written signs describe the wide array of mostly women-oriented products, and the atmosphere is so laid-back, you'll wonder why everyone in the city isn't spending their Sunday afternoon chilling to Sleater-Kinney on the sound system.

The Goods
Toys distinguishes itself from other sex toy vendors by focusing not only on hawking merchandise, but also on offering sound sex education. The store offers a variety of classes, including an introduction to sex toys class that's available in English, American Sign Language and Spanish. There's also a full library of books on all things related to sexuality.

User Reviews for Babeland

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Babeland is awesome. Not only is it a terrific company that is actually owned by women. Babeland is fairly progressive and supportive to the communities it represents. Babeland also has amazing toys of all kinds that are really high quality and good. I mean, if you order the cheap stuff you get the cheap stuff no matter where you shop, but this place has some really good stuff.. All of the customer service I have gotten from them has been excellent. If you call or email they actually know their stuff and help you. They are like experts. I always get all my packages on time and I know they don't charge you until you they ship to you. I called and asked after I read the last review. Honestly, if you have an interest in fun just check out their website.

Pros: Friendly women, Nice Website, Very informative, helpful customer service

I ordered something over 2.5 weeks ago, and it turns out one of the items was backordered (which they did not alert me to when I ordered). Not worried, since I had selected to split ship if something was not in stock, I asked what was back-ordered. Then I went on vacation. I return, Nothing had shipped, (they decdided to hold my order against my wishes for the item that wasn't going to be in stock for a month). Now, over 2 weeks later, they still take days between responses, will not ship any of my items until the backordered piece is in stock, and oh, I paid for everything already. Also, they do not understand why any of this might upset me. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WEBSITE SHIPPING EVER.

Editor's Review

A women-geared shop that strips the sleaze factor from sexual accessory shopping.  See the full editorial review.
