Located on the Northeast side of Commercial Drive, this store is run and staffed by ladies - so you won't have to worry about some shady creep heavy breathing down your neck as you shop for your sex toy of choice! It's an upscale boutique type of store as opposed to a shady porno shop. It's not cheap - but the items are high end quality products, and the sales staff are highly knowledgeable, and will answer all your burning questions. They are also good at recommending products to try. My favourite vibe from here was the "Red Zinger" nice and powerful. It's been a while since I bought it, so I'm not sure if it's still available. If I was in the area, I'd definitely pop in to see what new. Solid 3.5 stars. read more

My first time coming in to Womyns'Ware was a five star experience because the staff was very polite and helpful and I was able to find what I needed. The products they carry is really good. I was able to find something affordable and it works perfect. So smooth and natural feeling too. Yes I bought lube. There I said it. I was tired of KY and my nurse recommended me Slippery Stuff and it's perfect. Anyways you naughty boys. Get your mind out of the gutter. But they also have a sister store across the street that sells undergarments and such related goodies. They also have a website you can purchase from which helps me so I don't have to travel there if I don't have enough time. Still if you're in the area, girls ya have to check it out. Just for you. read more

Given that awkwardness and sleaziness are the two biggest detractors to people seeking better orgasms, this sex toy store is neither, making the customer feel as though "everybody does it" from the moment they walk in. Gone are the blow up sheep, edible underwear, and other campy novelty products that would probably just give you a rash in the end anyway. Womyn's Ware is an open comfortable space, offering advice and encouragement on which allergy resistant strap-on is right for you. There are dildos of every color of the rainbow, and in case the shape of a penis isn't your thing, some resemble dolphins, rams, and lava lamps. From vibrators to bondage gear, Womyn's Ware is the wholesome place to buy your pina colada flavored water based lubricant and anything else you need to get off guilt-free. read more

Womyns'Ware - Adult Shops Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This is a woman's "toy" store. Fun (and useful) merchandise for gifts or purpose. The staff is helpful and educated. After visiting "Good Vibrations" in San Francisco, and LoveCraft in Toronto, I can tell women all over that they need to know that this kind of shop will not jump up and bite you or anything. If nothing else, it will provide you with a giggle or curiosity. read more

Womyns'Ware - Adult Shops Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

See all

The feminist bookstore in Portlandia -- that's always been my assumption of what Womyn's Ware is. Just like a bar that replaces 'cks' with 'x', any female-oriented shop that spells "woman" with a 'y' is enough to make my hyper-critical self judge the hell out of the place before even entering. It's got to be a room full of angry man-hating lesbians, right? I mean, why else would they put so much emphasis on the letter Y? WRONG. So wrong. This particular Y-loving spot is not only clean, but full of friendly, super helpful and respectful women. The staff are really what sets it apart -- knowledgeable, patient, and *useful* these folks have actual first-hand experience with most of the products they carry. So, while they may have an "X chromosome only" vibe going on, I assure you, this is a space where men, women, and otherwise are most welcome. Also, huge bonus: SO many books and classes. Feeling a little unsure about your bondage technique? Confused about bottoming out? Hell, you going through menopause but still want to get down? They've got a book for that. And probably a toy or two, too. read more

First of all, I'm not a wom(a/y)n, though this place makes me want to be one because I can't help but wonder how great it'd be if I had all the erogenous zones and bundles of nerves that the shiny, happy toys this place has are meant to stimulate. The most obvious thing about this place is that it is really, really friendly despite displaying toys like cuffs and rather intimidating strap-ons prominently. It's amazing how you don't feel like there is a half-dozen large plastic penises pointing at you while you're standing there even through they are sitting there, non-threateningly saying "buy me, I'll make you happy!". Conversely, if you want super-hardcore BDSM stuff or cheap hardcore sleazy porno, this is not the place to go. The staff is also really friendly! They're nice people. And, one last thing: I really like the layout of the store. They scatter their books among all the toys and so it breaks up the monotony of dildo dildo dildo dildo dildo---it's really more like dildo dildo hey look at me I'm a book about relationships dildo dildo look I'm a book about how to choose the right girth dildo for maximal pleasure dildo. I've never seen a clearly male patron there (I suppose I don't personally count as clearly male myself), but what little guy instinct I have tells me that this is a good place to take a lady to if you want to make her life better. read more

This store used to be much larger and in the last few year have cut their store on half, literally. They've downsized, but their customer service is still impeccable and their staff is just as knowledgable. They carry a plethora of items for all parties and pleasures. Condoms? They've got it. They carry drugs store brands such as Lifestyles Skyn and the award winning Kimono brand as well. Lubes? Yes. Dils? Yes. Plugs? Cuffs? Straps? The list goes on and on. They also carry things for couples to spice up their love life. Cute sexual games, feather ticklers, massage oils and dice. For those who need to be informed in a less 'hands on' way there are literary options. SIDENOTE: There are some WONDERFUL books for children about their bodies and girls about periods. No one should be embarrassed by their sexuality! Liberate and celebrate! Go in and experience the sexual wonderland of goodness. read more

It had a teahouse vibe going, rather than some shady-alley side porno peep show/stereotypical crap you see on cop shows. Finally, an adult store not afraid of women! Oops..Womyn. (Dont autocorrect, computer. I know what I did there!) Being a young female, most corporations, especially adult related, either see me as an open wallet, or dont see me at all. This place, along with their website, are in it for the consumer! They have great suggestions, pro-sex health tips, and very non-threatening stances on this whole 'sex' thing. read more

I am so impressed with the staff at Womyn's Ware, and also with their entire business presence! Before going in to purchase, I went through their website and found they had a very useful cataloge that acts as part guide-book, helping you to understand what different types of toys will do, so you can figure out what will best suit your needs. With a clear idea of what I might like to get, I went in armed with a few questions. The store was busy, but I was greeted as soon as I came in through the door. The sales associates were proactively helpful as I browsed, and answered all my questions respectfully and knowledgeably. I purchased a couple of items and will definitely be back for more. I've been in a few stores that sell sex toys. Most have seemed either sleazy, dirty, over-glorified, or pretentious. Womyn's Ware is none of the above. It is genuine, tasteful, and makes shopping for sex toys and accessories an empowering (and not a hush hush shameful) experience. read more

For the best dill, vibe or lube - look no further. No need to shop for a novely yeast infection on Granville Street. Womyn's Ware combines an excellent product selection with friendly, knowledgeable staff, making this a destination of choice for all your personal gifts... Need wrist cuffs but can't bear to ring them through at the till? Womyn's Ware also do a great on-line business for their shy clientele. Shop on-line and you'll have your partner tied up in no time! read more

Have been a client here for years and the customer service is consistently excellent. Very professional and knowledgeable about all products, and very good at making people feel at ease with their questions and product requirements. I'm definitely a returning satisfied customer. Thank you. Angie read more

Awesome, awesome and awesome! Very friendly staff who really know their stuff (even if they're lying, they're really good at lying). The prices of their products are in my opinion fairly expensive for those who are experimenting with these toys for the first time. They have a wide variety of condoms - (10 for $10) which is quite cool as you get to choose what you like. Most of the condoms however seem to fit smaller? The Kimono micro thins are supposed to feel like nothing. They also have coloured condoms and glow in the dark ones - but better than those that you buy at Superstore or Wal-Mart. Most of the vibrators ranged from $70-100+. But if you know what you like, I think it's a good investment. read more

Hi I went into the shop looking for a penus extender and also to see if I could get a charger for a clitoral stimlator I purchased from them about a year ago. I'm a middle aged man by the way. There was a middle aged woman looking after the shop, .. I at first didn't feel embarassed at all, thinking that she would be a pro and would do everything to make me feel comfortable. But to be honest that wasn't the case. I explained my needs and I my spidey sense told me that she felt I was creepy - she stayed professional but I got the feeling, and then felt a bit ashamed and embarrassed. She did her job, it was just a feeling - I don't feel comfy going back. read more

Very helpful staff and lovely displays. This is no skeevy sex shop, this is like a high end sex boutique equipped to meet all your kinky needs. The staff is very informative and not too pushy, and boy do they know what they are talking about. If you're not in the mood for toys and such they actually have a great selection of books as well. There's pretty much something for everyone here! read more

Knowledgeable staff that cares about helping you find the right product for your needs and wants. Whereas at most sex stores it feels like the clerks just landed in a job that they could handle, here you'll find the staff are familiar with the wares they sell, the owners are committed to offering only quality products, and that safety is tops on their list of concerns. While the goods can be a little pricey, you know you're getting top notch quality. Be sure to check out their line of exclusive products designed for them! read more

A simple bottle of lube costs $30+ at this store. I checked online and found it elsewhere for 50% less. Maybe their rent is high, maybe their sales are struggling, or maybe they're just greedy. Either way, I won't shop here again. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

This is the only place we go to for anything. Seriously. Otter is amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. Sometimes I feel like there are too many staff members, but otherwise... this place is perfect, discreet, ideal, and contrary to some opinions: not at all bursting with misandry. If I can't find it, and she can't find it for me, I check the internet. The service and quality are well worth the cost. You get what you pay for, and when it comes to your junk, do you REALLY want to pay less? If you answered no, you don't value sex enough. Way to go ladies, keep up the good work, I will probably see you today. ;) read more

Rather than a dodgy neon-lit, Davie and Granville Street freaky-spot, this sex-toy store is for empowering females all over the Lower Mainland. It's been voted as Best of Vancouver for years now, best of sex-toys and such store that is. You can find: books, accessories, gifts, toys, and other things that women can use to enjoy their bodies, play with their partners' body or just learn to be comfortable with theirs. Dildos, lubricants and things like a thigh harness and a swingers' pad... read more

Now i know where they guy I'm dating is getting all his condoms, the ones that don't stink and feel extremely sensitive. It's like having an actual skin and skin experience. Why the f*ck can't drug stores have these type of condoms? I'm glad that this place exists. Advertised as a women's toy store (aren't most toys everywhere for women?). The place is nicely organized and presented and is nothing like those sleazy shops on Granville. Very good prices. The staff are amazing, friendly and patient. If you're a guy, this is a non threatening place with awesome staff. read more

The best place in town for a girl to shop for her toys. No, make that the only place. The mainly female staff are matter-of-fact, friendly and knowledgeable. They have a variety of interesting books, lubes (love that they offer so many travel sizes for those sexy hotel getaways!) plus more dildoes and vibrators than I ever imagined existed. Whatever your preference in color, size, shape, texture, material or flexibility, they've got the one for you. And while not cheap - this isn't your run of the mill seedy sex shop - the products are high quality and long-lasting. read more

Selection is one of the best in town and most of the staff are very helpful and considerate. Unfortunately there is one older female staff member, presumably a manager or the owner based on how she treated the other staff, who really needs to get an attitude check. She berated my partner for looking at a vibrator which she described as useless (why sell it then?) and when we told her we knew what we were looking for, thank you, she stated "Well don't come whining to me when it doesn't do anything for you!" She then went over and loudly complained to the other staff about how "back in the good old days people enjoyed when we offered advice! Now they just act like know-it-alls and we're just here to run the cash machine." This childish display made my partner extremely uncomfortable and I was loathe to spend any money. We will not be returning. read more

I've shopped here for years, first through the website and then in person. Great selection of the best in toys, great service.

Always helpful and friendly staff, good selection, welcoming environment. Definitely recommend!

Great store if you are looking for vibrators or dildos. On the pricey side, but high quality. Unfortunately they also have horrible customer service. My partner and I bought a $22 (!!!!) 10 pack of Sir Richards condoms. 2 out of the 9 condoms broke and we are avid condom users who have never had an issue before. We are now pregnant so I decided to politely let them know what had happened so that they are aware that their glorious "high quality" vegan condoms might not be helping their customers avoid pregnancy. When I told the lady working there this (which was not fun -- might I add) she said that "Sir Richards are high quality condoms and I've never heard of this" and continued to tell me that "that was the risk of using condoms". Needless to say I left in tears and will never be entering that store again. Moral of the story: shop somewhere where they are conscientious of such personal matters as it is a sex shop. And don't EVER buy their expensive vegan condoms. read more

I just had a wonderful experience here. The clerk, whose name I forgot but may have been lisa(sorry) spent over 15 minutes showing me what they had and helping me find the perfect toy for my particular needs. She made me feel comfortable and was integral to me finding the right product. Thank you! read more

I haven't been to Womyn's Ware for a few years but always loved going there. And when I went back recently to buy some new lube I left beyond irritated with the staff and management. There were at least four people working and I felt like I was constantly being followed and being hovered on. After I selected some lube I carried it around with me because I wasn't totally decided on that one. Two staff members asked me if I wanted it put behind the counter and I said that I was still thinking and would prefer to hang on to it. They both seemed fine with that. A snarky blond woman literally snatched the lube from my hands and said she'd put it behind the counter and didn't even wait for a reply. I was beyond irritated by this. I felt like they thought I was going to steal it or something. Beyond unacceptable in my opinion. The staff were following my friend and I around and were listening to our conversation. The whole experience felt uncomfortable and I will never be giving them my money again. Which is too bad because despite being treated like a criminal I have money to spend on myself and am choosing to not give it to them. I guess next time I'll just get my lube from Shopper's and my sex toys from the internet instead of supporting local businesses. read more

The staff were very knowledgable and easy to talk to them about products. The store is discreet and well laided out. I left the store with an extrtemely positive experience and that made me sure I would go back again. read more
