Fetish Wear

This is a small collection of 4 designs of fetishwear shoes. I might have already lost you. 4 designs? Shoes are a dime a dozen, they must just be platform patent, right? Ooh, so wrong. A buttplug heel is featured on both a pump and a boot. Then there is the lovely ballgag maryjane pump, and the dominatrix boot with your choice of accessories. The site is for the manufacturer/designer, but has links to online retailers in several countries. Yum. Thanks to Ladysun for tweeting this one. - Jane

If you are looking for adult toys, lingerie, books, jewelry, games, or holiday related items this is a great one stop shopping experience! There are all of the usual suspects like vibrators, dildos, and such. The descriptions here go the extra mile though (like books often listing page counts and actual physical dimensions). If you are looking for a sex doll, this store often has images of the dolls themselves (as fully inflated). Dallas Novelty goes beyond the basics and has items like cupping sets, electrostimulation toys, chastity devices, swings, enema equipment, and their own brand of equipment. They also stock a nice selection of breast forms, gaffs, padded panties, packer gear, and form bras. I liked the organization of the site, which helps guide you to the exact thing you are looking for rather swiftly. All of the policies are written out very clearly, and are easy to find. You should note the 30% restocking fee, email list add, and no cancellation on orders. Customer service info is also easy to locate and contact info includes toll free phone number, email, form, and mailing address. This site was up for an Xbiz Award in 2011, and they have an active Twitter account that offers special discounts to followers. They currently take orders from the US and Canada only. I was really overwhelmed by the huge variety and quality of the merchandise here, but I did have one pet peeve. They offer desensitizing agents that contain benzocaine, lidocaine, and menthol for anal play. I love the fact that this is one of the only shops that tells you what is in these desensitizing agents, that is a rarity and extremely responsible! I just wish that they didn't offer them in the first place, because these things are really a bad choice for anal play. Anal sex shouldn't hurt, and if you feel pain it is important that you are aware of it and stop to figure out what is wrong. Other than that small gripe (which may be more about what folks are willing to buy than about the store being willing to sell it), I am super impressed. Definitely recommended! - Vamp

This medical fetish web store is incredibly well done! The selection and apparent quality of the goods is wonderful, and includes all of the medical gear you'd expect (like straight jackets, nurse outfits, and institutional restraints). It also has quite a few goodies that take it right over the top (such as overnight sleeping cages, breathplay hoods, bondage chairs, electrical stimulation toys, ball weights, catheters, and retractors). If you are into latex, you'll find plenty of it here! Each product has a full description, including specs such as measurements. There is also expert advice on each product that gives you a bit of an idea of how or why you'd want to use it, and a great care and cleaning info section too. Customers can also write reviews and tag products, which is useful. The customer service, contact, shipping, returns, privacy, and warranty information is all very thorough and easy to find. This is exactly how to do a web store the right way. Well organized, stocked, and sexy as all get out! - Vamp

Are you looking for a really unique collar for a beloved submissive? Do you enjoy upscale jewelery pieces with an erotic twist? Gentle Medusa produces a range of made-to-measure fine art BDSM slave collars, cock rings, anal/vaginal beads, bangles, and other jewelry pieces and toys that might appeal to you. Sterling silver lockable collars aren't exactly new to the scene, so what is so different here? The artist can engrave them with bar codes, QR codes, and more. That is pretty nifty, but still isn't the most unique thing. The showstopper is that she can engrave someone's fingerprints into the work. Isn't that neat? She offers 100% silver roll beads with your lover's fingerprint that can be purchased separately and worn on a collar or ribbon. She also offers sterling silver "pebble" beads with varying finishes that can have fingerprints included. The cock rings you'll find here are pretty cool as well. Each ring is modeled off of British seaweed! So, the rings have a really unusual quality to them that is organic and one of a kind. I'm a little less enthused about the anal/vaginal beads that are real snowflake obsidian and natural rose quartz beads hand knotted on silk. I love the decadence and the beauty, but I'm a little worried about the cleanliness and safety of that one. You may want to do further research and become better informed about that before purchase. Contact info is limited to an email address, but that isn't unusual for fine artists. I would be certain to get all of her details before sending any money though. She likes to deal through Paypal, and it sounds like she offers frequent updates and contact while your piece is being created. Shipping and privacy info is clearly stated, and there is a really nice video about how to take clean prints for her to work with. As a side note, she mentions that her jewelry has a "haptomaphiliac twist". I had to look that one up. I believe she is referring to the Greek word "haptomai", which means to touch. I love the idea that her jewelry is meant to convey touch, and to be worn by folks that crave it. Beautiful, interesting, and a great idea! - Vamp

This UK store offers a wide variety of lingerie, dresses, leather, tights, vinyl, shapewear, boas, wigs, and more. They even have their own original KNX brand line of lingerie that includes items like french knickers and camisoles. There are many styles of corsets here, including custom made versions. They cater to folks from size 14 to size 44, and with bra sizes from 32A to 54G. I really appreciated the detailed shipping, returns, contact information, size charts, and privacy info. I also loved the playful and less than standard things that they carried (such as knickers and bloomers). I was less impressed with the small pics, which often didn't enlarge at all. I was especially surprised that the custom corset section didn't show any examples of their work. - Vamp

Have you or your partner shown exceptional merit and skill in a recent kinky activity? If so, you might want to get one of these! Kinky merit badges are really cute 40mm iron on (or sewn on) awards for activities such as voyeurism, shibari, fisting, spanking, crossdressing, caning, and more. All prices on the site are in pounds sterling, and payment is made through Paypal. They ship internationally, and they supply a contact email address and encourage questions about their products. If you are worried about being able to find matching thread to sew on their badges, they sell that as well. A really cute and sexy idea (that I think will particularly appeal to the ageplay kids out there). Great fun! - Vamp

Ali is sort of like a kinky consultant and personal shopper. She offers customized kits with themes like The "I Want To Give My Wife An Orgasm", "Weapons of Ass Destruction", "Chastity", "Feminization", and a lot more. Some of the themes are rather intriguing like "The Rape Survivor", "The Limited Mobility/Reduced Stamina", and "Prostate Cancer" boxes. In order to secure her services, you have to contact her and fill out one of her questionnaires that require you to (in my opinion) give out quite a bit of personal information, which allows her to tailor make the kit to your interests. Payment is through AlertPay, Green Dot Money Paks, or certificates for The Stockroom. I love the idea of this service, but I would have really appreciated seeing more examples of how a completed box might look within a given price range. The customer service, contact, privacy, and shipping info is also a bit vague. Given the highly personal nature of the business, I can imagine that it may be hard to be less vague. The fact still remains that in the initial email she is expecting age, occupation, email, or phone number as well as answers to an intimate questionnaire. The consumer has Ali's email and a PO Box. Some of the payment methods have the bonus of being anonymous, but they also have the downside of being hard to track in the unlikely event that a purchase doesn't go as planned. In addition to this, she links to her blog and a few other sites that she manages. There are also two interesting essays on "Finding a Kinky Partner" and "Girlfriends, Wives, and Strap Ons." I'm giving it a quality rating, with a large caveat emptor regarding the sharing of personal information and payment methods. - Vamp

I'm not an adult baby (er, most days) but I lust for the garments featured on VerySpecialClothes.com. Auntie V. hand-crafts to order everything on the site. Measure carefully, indicate your color preferences and she'll select fabrics and trims to make the outfit unique. Choose from dresses, rompers, diaper covers, jammies and more, all inspired by vintage patterns you just might remember from childhood.

Seattle-based Winter Heavy industries has been creating stretchy fetish wear since 1998. Owner and designer Tonya Winter's garments have been featured in national fetish events, House of Gord publications and Las Vegas' Erotic Heritage Museum. Shop by material (spandex, PVC, etc) or by category. I found the sleepsacks to be particularly awe-inspiring. Sizes up to 2XL are available on many items, and the company is happy to advise on product repairs. Custom designs are possible too; just send an email with your desires and they'll discuss the details. They even sell a t-shirt with the company logo designed by Michael Manning on the front. At this writing it's on sale for just $10. Check it out; the design rocks. --aag

I was actually impressed with Pink Minx Lingerie (and that's no small feat); after looking over their landing page I thought this was going to be some tiny site with a little specialty or niche stock - I was not prepared for how much selection they actually have. They carry huge burlesque fans, multiple styles and sizes of corset (even corsets for men), fancy socks, costumes, dresses, classic lingerie, shoes/boots, and the list goes on! Pink Minx is a UK based shop so all their prices are listed in pounds, but they do accept multiple forms of payment (including paypal). Returns are accepted up 7 days after dispatch but they will not cover shipping costs on returns or accept wrong-size returns; so make sure you ask them for help if you're not sure before you buy. - Shay

I chanced upon AntisepticFashion.com in my travels around the 'net and was so blown away that I had to take a closer look. This team of Los Angeles-based designers create amazing corsets, collars and other original gear. Their assortment of ready-to-buy items is small, but don't let that fool you. The designs shown in their hard-to-find but amazing online gallery are just spectacular. I was particularly taken by the gorgeous three-piece Adrastia Corset, made from gold leather and laced together in the most intriguing spots. For even more awesomeness, check out their Flickr photostream, Deviant Art profile and Etsy shop, all linked from AntisepticFashion.com. They're happy to take custom orders, so check out the gallery, dream big and then send them your ideas. A thorough measurement chart for men and another for women is included. Payment is accepted via PayPal, money order and good old cash. PS: My cats *need* the BatCat and Kitten Shark sweaters. Is it too soon to start asking for holiday presents? --aag

There isn't a huge variety of products, but what they do have is quite high end and looks to be of good quality. RedCherry only ships to the UK at this time and will accept the return of unopened products within 30 days of receipt, so long as you notify them of your intent to return the item within 7 days of receipt.

I would dearly love to be turned loose for a shopping spree at UK-based BirchPlaceShop.com. The site features loads of girlie designs for trans women, women and cross-dressers. Their ultra-feminine babydolls and maid outfits are just stunning. They also stock a large selection of adult baby wear, such as diaper covers, bibs, booties and rompers. There's no lack for detailed pictures. Many styles are shown in a good half-dozen different views, which is really nice when you're deciding on the perfect outfit. Sizes range from XS women's through XXL unisex; if none of these will work, BirchPlaceShop.com will create a custom sized garment for you. Returns are accepted with advance notice, but a restocking fee may apply. Prices listed in Great British pounds, Euros and US dollars and shipping is available worldwide. --aag

Piper's is a site for real people. Women who have a hard time finding hose or lingerie or other intimate wear that actually fits their bodies. Skinny size 2's will always be able to find clothing. Women of size can't say that - or couldn't previously. Piper started her site after becoming frustrated in finding hose that fit. She has detailed shipping and return policies. She has a realistic sizing chart. Most important - in my opinion - is that she has plus sized models wearing the items. Many of the images were supplied by the manufacturers, she tells us, but they are building their own photo collection as well. In addition, they have a monthly contest for submitted photos of their customers, and again have detailed submission requirements. Leather, vinyl, fetishwear, satin, silk, garter belts, accessories - it's a nice collection from nice folks. Shopping is via secure cart. Recommended! - Peter

Madame Leather carries an excellent selection of very sexy leather, vinyl and PVC items for men and women. You'll find panties, tops, pants, skirts, corsets, teddies, and a nice selection of accessories. I love plus-size sections that show products on actual plus-size models; Madame Leather does a great job with this. Their sizes range from small to 3x and they actually show larger models looking fabulous in their leather outfits. The site has an extensive leather care guide and a long shopping advice section, which focuses on how to choose the sort of product that will look best on you. If you end up with a defective product or one that doesn't fit, Madame Leather accepts returns within 30 days of your original purchase, as long as your item has not been worn. The site includes a FAQ section, contact form, phone number and physical address. Nicely done, Madame Leather. You have me lusting after the Dynamite Leather Corset. I'm saving my pennies now. - AAG

This is a local [Seattle] artist whose work I've seen many times, both in local vendor's fairs, at the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival, and also adorning the bodies of many friends. I'm quite impressed with the fine quality of this embroidery work and am quite happy to endorse and support Bryce's work. [Disclaimer - I know him only casually, and have no personal invested interest in him or his business.] When I first saw his work a few years ago I was extremely excited, and he has only expanded and improved in time. He started with his displeasure over the quality of tshirts and other logo images, and he wanted to be able to have the imagery he felt represented him, in the quality he demanded and yet accessible in smaller than lot pricing of 600 or so. He has built his craft into a business now that can produce individual items or larger quantities either stock or custom, and always in high quality. He does home and bath items [hotpads, aprons, towels, pillows, etc], clothing [caps, shirts], and custom work [embroidery on leather, armbands, and many other items]. He has both standard art [gay, kink, political, and other images] and will also work with you on your own custom piece. Not mentioned on the site, but I have been told that he is researching on expanding his designs into various areas of sacred art. Very detailed instructions on custom orders, group orders, terms and conditions, laundry & dry cleaning guidelines, and such important trivia are clear and in depth. Ordering can be via secure shopping cart or via 1-800 telephone calls. He also offers an online comment/query form which ends up in his email basket. I definitely give him two thumbs up and am certain that you won't be disappointed with his work. - Peter » More Info!

XTC Apparel carries an enormous range of leather, latex and vinyl products, along with footwear, bondage gear and leather sheets. Many of their items are available in an array of colors and sizes from extra-small right on through the plus-sizes. The vast majority of their clothing items are designed for and modeled on women, but some of the items could be unisex. Delivery of your product could take a few weeks for special-order or custom-made pieces; these are clearly noted on the site. I like the fact that XTC Apparel provides extensive instructions for the care of their products; you can read about how to clean suede, how to lace your corset correctly, and how to judge the quality of a leather item. They also provide ample measuring and fit instructions. XTC Apparel ships internationally only to select countries. Not all items can be returned and you must get approval before returning any item.

Tulip is an outgrowth of research that began at the University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business, which has grown to two brick-n-mortar shops in the Chicago area in addition to this web-based shop. A woman-owned company, they aim to appeal to both men and women with an upscale, common sense, and user-friendly presentation. They offer instruction both in essays on the site and as well in classes given in their shops. In addition they will schedule home parties at your convenience [presumably in the Chicago area, I'm guessing]. You would be hard tested to find a site with more clearly offered information about terms, shipping, contact information - even the bus routes to find their shops. They try to stay on top of the research about possible carcinogenic ingedients in sex toys, and to only offer those items thought to be safe. They have a wide selection of toys ranging from one-of-a-kind glass insertables to the more usual Hitachi Magic Wand, and on to anal toys, videos, cock rings, feathers, nipple clip bells, and much more. Although a recent [2005] entry to the business from everything I can see these folks following well in the example set by Good Vibrations, Toys in Babeland, and other leaders in this field. = Peter » More Info!
