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!

Excellent service and selection. Ursula at the Adams Morgan location couldn't have been kinder or…read moremore patient.

People of different sexual orientations, different needs, and at different stages in their life can come here to learn, to shop, to be educated. The owners are a beautiful couple who you can tell love and care about their business. The store itself is super chic and you can tell by all the little touches - it was a labor of love that has translated to comfort and ease in finding products. Whether you're into the BDSM scene or just want to beef up your romance, and regardless of whether you're straight or LGBTQ, they probably have something that interests you. . You'll find either proven favorites or new toys created by established leaders. From toys and lubes to protection and costumes, they've got it all. Now this IS Adams Morgan, so expect to find parking SOMEwhere - the visit will be well worth it. It's a LOCAL business, owned by LOCAL entrepreneurs and I was happy to support that - you should too!

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).

They sell a wide range of toys (hi, rose toy), DVDS, bondage gear, and sensual aromas. I found some cute lingerie, and even a few accessories that could be turned used for a Halloween costume.

For those of you who've spent years cramming yourself into whatever approximation of your size you…read morecould find at a department store, a place like this is genuinely life-changing. Regular fittings aren't a luxury -- they're a necessity -- and stores willing to take the time to actually help you (and know what they are doing) are few and far between. When you're not a standard size, shopping for bras is basically a part-time job with no benefits. So when you find a store that actually gets it, you are winning. And you will never purchase a bra in a box ever again. Alexandra and Janiyah were an absolute dream team. What started as a straightforward fitting turned into something closer to amusement. These ladies are pros. Janiyah knew exactly what she was doing and Alexandra kept materializing out of thin air with another bra every 30 seconds -- like a mystical Bra Fairy. The team kept the whole thing feeling fun and completely unpressured. And their bras are gorgeous. Thirty minutes. In and out. Properly fitted. Laughing the whole way through. If you've been putting this off, consider this your sign. Ask for Alexandra and Janiyah. Prepare to be visited by the Bra Fairy and leave a happier person - the twins will thank you .

I needed to find a strapless bra that would fit under a satin sleek off the should dress same day and Stephanie came through!!! I came here after rushing to another store in silver spring that closed hours earlier than they said they would when I called and talked to someone. Le Bustiere Boutique in Bethesda is nestled in between an alley and another store, but the inside 100% gives the vibe of boutique versus strip mall. They hung a few bras on the wall and then their dressing room is tucked away in the back with an adorable mural of different breasts with an affirmative saying in neon pink lighting. I use a special calculator (a bra that fits) to help determine my size and when I went Stephanie measured me exactly to that measurement. I was shocked because that never happens and it really helped me feel even more confident about my purchase. I was able to get my strapless bra and a new everyday t shirt bra. It's a French brand and I haven't ever had something feel like it's not there when I wear it. 10/10 really like this place and will be back without a doubt. If you're reading this then please just go, don't even hesitate.

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.

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!!
