Arndale Book & Magazine Exhange is another one of those shops around the Shudehill area that…read morecombines selling 2nd hand John Grisham thrillers with some naughty adult magazines and dvds. There's a slightly musty smell in here which didn't make me want to stay too long, but there's a decent selection of 2nd hand books here. There are also some really cheap dvds as well (regular ones, not the naughty ones). This shop specialises in old retro magazines for collectors as well. But that means magazines like Loaded and FHM. Arndale Book and Magazine Exchange offers part exchange too.

Now, I may not be the best person to review Clone Zone. For a start, I am often prudish enough to…read moremake the community in Arthur Miller's The Crucible look like a bunch of hen-party wastrels. I am also not a member of the gay male community, for which this shop largely caters. However, when I popped in with Irish Friend, who was looking for 'something special' for his boyfriend's birthday, I was astounded by the amount of (naughty) stock this place has on offer. The moment we walked in, Irish Friend was absolutely in his element. "Oh, B!" he cried "Wouldya look at all the butt plugs" I at this point had my chin buried in my scarf and mumbled "mmmmm! 'Citing!" whilst perusing the man-pants and blushing widly. The sales assistant (bloody gorgeous btw) spotted my prudish Northern blush and took me under his wing by trying out a (unused, you dirty pups) vibrator on my nose, apparently the most sensitive non-rude bit of one's bod. 20 minutes later and I'm helping him pick out a DVD (Disney they ain't) and all sorts of other things that I barely understood, but which I am sure Mr Irish Friend will thoroughly enjoy. The prices seemed totally reasonable; you can get 6 Tenga Egg toys for £50 and 3 'specialist' DVDs for £40 (it seemed expensive to me, but Irish Friend assured me it's jolly good value). Sex shops often seem a little dirty and scary, but this little shop of naughty, opposite neon paradise Baa Bar, is not so much back-street-sex-shop as Anne Summers for the boys. It's a great place for all your, erm, needs. The service is fab, too, and the sales bloke really knew what he was talking about. And apparently Irish Friend's birthday boy very much appreciated his goody bag.

One evening when the blonde and I were engaging in our usual 'Baa Bar then Satan's woooooo!'…read moreTuesday night extravaganza, we were searching for something. I can't remember for the life of me what it was. Did we need cash? A lighter? I have no idea, because during this search in the gay village we found ourselves in Clone Zone and proceeded to titter ourselves into oblivion. I hence forgot our quest. Two girls in their twenties can be so immature. But sex toys, homosexual or otherwise, are funny when they're on the shelves. There's no getting around it. It's like the fact that two people copulating just looks stupid unless it's been pornographically choreographed. Just look at Ross and Rachel's reaction to the videotape of them conceiving their daughter. As Rebecca wisely says, one can think of Clone Zone as a boy's Ann Summers. The fact that it manages to look jovial and flashy without the tacky smuttiness of Ann's says a lot. The gay community just do this stuff far better. Come on, who can even walk into Miss Summers' gaff without thinking of Benny Hill or Carry On. At least in Clone Zone they don't hide all the naughties downstairs, they proudly display their beads and plugs and erotic DVDs. And why shouldn't they? Isn't that why people are in there in the first place except if by accident?

Do you know what? It is hidden away in a corner!…read more This shop used to be part of the Market back in the day before the market moved and it's now got it's own little shop! And I really like it! Full of great fancy dress costumes and bits to add to fancy dress costumes, that part is obvious from the very bright and tacky shop window. Dig deeper and you'll find tons of different tights, colours and types and sizes for everyone and every occasion, really good quality and really cheap too!

Neon tutu's, legwarmers tons of different colours and patterns of tights - things like that. The mannequins styled in the window give you a good idea what to expect. Its all a bit mish mash in here but for fancy dress it is less packagey and samey than going to the bigger Luvyababes a few doors down in the Arndale.

We've made it our mission to educate and empower our customers, ensuring they have all the knowledge they need to make the right choice for their pleasure-filled adventures. But it's not just about the products themselves. We're all about creating an inviting and inclusive atmosphere that makes our customers feel comfortable and excited to explore. From the moment you walk through our doors, you'll be greeted by friendly faces, ready to guide you through the wonderful world of pleasure products with a smile and a sprinkle of humour. From the start, we’ve offered a completely unique shopping experience. We wanted the layout of the shop to mimic a department store, so every category has its own department. Lingerie and softer items in the boutique room, a separate area for vibrators and dildos, next to that we have anal toys, upstairs you’ll find the hardcore DVDs, and in the basement (if you dare to venture), we have the hardcore toys. We are the only adult store with an on-and-off alcohol license in the UK, and we also have a chilled-out coffee area. This means customers can pop in, browse, and enjoy a drink while they shop. What’s better than a glass of prosecco while browsing all the latest sex toys.
