Had the need for some new adult enhancement and kind of wanted a non-internet ordering experience for a change since my last one failed me. Also, I thought it would be kind of neat to haul the BF along for a different kind of shopping experience and shop local. ;-)
Okay, so sometimes adult stores are kind of seedy, have creepy staff and/or crappy items for sale. Not Cirilla's! It was totally bright and clean, neatly stocked, woman and couple-friendly. In fact, there was a young couple at check-out when we walked in. I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't know they were a national chain as well so I don't know how much that bodes for shopping local, but so it is.
Anyway, there are plenty of penis-themed bachelorette party-related things, sexified DVDs, books (not just the hardcore kind, some were elevated and topical), games, general novelty items, lubes, toys sexy outfits and shoes (get your very own see through platforms with a slot in the raised sole for tips lol). So if you're a stripper, or just want to look like one, it's all here for you. I found the prices overall to be very reasonable. Apparently 50 Shades of Grey is driving sales in the joint. They had copies of the book by the checkout along with related 'impulse' items.
One thing I have to say is that there selection of vibrators was impressive, wide, varied and unexpected. They have from the standard to the scary-looking available for purchase and pretty affordable, might I add. They even had a selection by checkout that looked like makeup items or tools in case you want to go incognito while traveling. Seriously, who packs a large crazy dildo or vibrator for the TSA to possibly find when going through security? You're just asking for it if you do. Anyway, vibrator noise can be pretty distracting. So if you're a newbie, be sure to look out for multiple speeds and low noise. Just sayin'.
Take the time to visits Cirilla's with your S.O. when you have the chance. I did not feel uncomfortable or embarassed at all, but it takes a lot for me on that count. Oh, they also test the toys before you go and offer batteries for purchase, because returns on those things are not accepted. As well they shouldn't be. They are open until 10pm or midnight depending on the day. read more
