Came here for a particular item and to explore a bit with a lady friend. This place will definitely have what you're looking for and a lot more.
Priscilla McCall's is an 18+ only establishment, and for good reason: they have pretty much every sex toy, sexy garment, and lubricant under the sun. Interestingly enough, after talking with one of the friendly employees, I learned that they are required to have just as many non-sex items as sex items to maintain their business license; sounds like the corrupt pseudo-moral state at work again.
Still, despite being bound by frivolous state requirements, it's an amazing store and well-laid out in its design. They have women's footwear inside and to your immediate left, and going clockwise they have clubwear and sexy costumes, lots of DVDs, male sex toys, S&M gear, women's toys (as well as clearance items), lots o' lubricants (which is what I came to get), and plus-sized costumes (which was actually pretty cool to learn that they make those). Another friendly employee asked if we needed help, and when I mentioned what I was looking for, she showed me exactly where it was and pointed out that they have open samples so you can get an idea for what they feel like before buying. They keep pretty good inventory control here, and I only noticed a few items which were out of stock.
The prices here are what you'd expect to see: high on specific S&M toys, average prices on more standard items. I'd gladly come and support them on the aforementioned standard items, though if it's a $120 position pillow or a $80 stainless steel hook, many people might be inclined to shop around prior to making that kind of investment. But who can put a price on such vivid and wonderful memories, am I right? :D
I fully intend on supporting Priscilla McCall's whenever I can. This place is hands-down the best place of its kind in Richmond. (They even have a gumball machine! Yes, I bought a 25 cent gumball in a sex shop, that's just who I am.)
Overall: 5.0 stars
-------------
Pros:
- Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff make the experience an easy and fun one.
- A huge selection of items makes it highly likely you will find what you're looking for, and maybe even give you a few choices as well.
- Easy parking in the front, maybe in the back too (haha, double entendres).
- Overall a great place to explore and find a ton of things you never knew existed, maybe even inspiring some adventurous endeavors.
Cons:
- S&M gear will definitely set you back price-wise; then again, Christian Grey didn't get to where he is by being stingy! read more
