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.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoThe store is devoted to putting women's pleasure first, but folks of all orientations are welcome--the majority of clients are straight couples.

Okay, we all know that Babeland is great. So I'm actually using this as an opportunity to give props to my new favorite vibrator which can be *purchased* at Babeland. Forget the rabbit, and the ergonomic trend in toys on the market. It's all about the Hummer! (note--at Babeland they call it :The Hummingbird," but the package says Hummer). It's curvy. It's silvery. It's pearly. It does a thump-thump motion rather than just a bzzzzzz. It's under $30. The speed is adjustable. It's got a g-spot nub (which can also be used elsewhere). It's got a cl&t "pocket" (can't describe any other way--thanks citysearch). And it makes me so very happy.

Shopping at Babeland has been life-changing for me, and I've been to both the Lower East Side and Soho locations several times. The first time I ever shopped there, at the Rivington Street location, I was completely terrified, but the salespeople made me feel right at home, gave me tons of good information, and encouraged me to explore the store and myself. It was such an affirming experience, and it's been just as good every time I've been back. The customer service is absolutely wonderful. I really disagree with those two negative reviews (one of which is really disrespectful about the gender of the person working), and have to wonder if maybe those customers brought some negativity and hostility of their own into the store? I don't know. Anyway, I'm a devoted Babeland fan. If you haven't been, it's an essential part of the NYC shopping experience.
Pros: fantastic customer service, great selection
Cons: parking (meter) is often full, better to take the train
