I tried on some items and they provided me with similar items that I may have liked based on the fit. Still many beautiful things in this place. Unfortunately not what I could shove in a carry on for everything that is so pretty. I did end up getting a few items and some new stickers that I converted to magnets. I did ask about shipping and they ship out of state which was perfect. They also have new inventory on hand as of this week (I had left this past Saturday to go back home). The experience and quality is well worth it.

They offer a spectacularly curated and frequently updated selection of some of the best labels, particularly the Adams Morgan location. I hadn't been back since 2022--far too long. During this most recent visit last week I was refitted and tried on at least a dozen bras, lingerie, and corsets. Ursula and Ashley were amazing--helpful, patient, and genuine hype girls (over the course of 2+ hours of indecision). They took turns bringing things based on what I picked out, my updated size, and whatever else caught their expert eye, and helped me get in and out of the corsets as needed. We even talked must-have skincare at one point!

I genuinely have never had such a good time shopping for bras. Annika was so wonderful and helpful…read moreand found me bras that fit better than any bra has literally ever fit me. There was zero pressure to buy anything and when something wasn't perfect, she immediately swapped it out for other options that were and didn't settle for less than a perfect fit. I ended up buying three bras and now refuse to wear anything else, so I will definitely be going back. Highly recommend getting a fitting with Annika!

I was actually interested in a body harness that unfortunately came in a box and didn't have the size measurements in the back. The woman working was sweet enough to try to look it up (it only said sizes 4-6) considering my weight has fluctuated a bit I wasn't sure if it would fit. Money is tight right now and obviously you can't return stuff to a sex shop. That's a given, didn't even have to ask because DUH! She did something I don't think I've seen in any other adult store. She opened the box so we could gauge if it would fit and see if it was adjustable. I ended up getting it and it was perfect. She absolutely did not have to do that. Plus: they have a dog!! I love him!

Imagine my surprise as I was minding my own business walking down Connecticut when I saw scantily dressed mannequins in the window. Curiosity killed the cat and made me walk in. The two gentlemen were funny and helpful. I might have picked something up, but I might not have either... Besides videos, they carry costumes and toys for men and women..if you're into stuff like that, and I think you are. The store has a second section in the back which I didn't venture into. I didn't want to run into someone from my church..or worse a parent of one of my students. Parent Teacher conferences would never be the same. Now that I know that this place is here I might come back, I might not, but I might..

The two young staff members were very unprofessional. At first I couldn't tell if they worked there or not, no name tags, no greeting when I walked in. I asked to be measured and the young woman who did it seemed to be bothered by the request. If it's such a difficult thing to size a middle age not skinny woman, it should not be advertised. I was trying to support a local business but when I asked about them carrying my size they quickly referred me to bareneccesities.com so I will go back to shopping online.

(I'm not sure if Intimissimi is still sold in their stores, but everything in here felt just a bit higher in quality.) If you're looking for higher-end stuff, there are better stores in DC, but for a somewhat budget-friendly purchase, this is the place. It was the employees who made the experience. Latish (I'm not sure that's how she spells her name!) and Suede were amazing. They were helpful but also just willing to talk about preferences and needs in a very candid way. They weren't pushy but also weren't afraid to ask, "So do you prefer thongs, or no?" Which is exactly the speed I needed. Latish walked me around the store, showed me their options, and never tried to push me out of my comfort zone. I had a really great experience purchasing here and would go back again.

Please check out his website and trust him with your next piercing. BTW: he runs specials on a regular. Planning on going again soon for my rook and Christina piercing.
