Going into a sex store can be a traumatizing experience. You never know who or what you’re going to find in there. Don’t even get me started on the places with 25 cent peep shows! It’s enough to send you running to the drug store.

Enter: Womyn’s Ware. It’s clean! There aren’t creepy people! It’s well lit! All things you don’t necessarily associate with a sex toy store. You’ll be totally comfortable browsing, whether you’re looking for some simple lube or a new vibrator to spice up your sex life.

The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. If you’re a bit of a virgin they’ll give you the info you need to choose wisely. If you’re an old pro you can discuss the merits of your fave products, and learn about new ones and the safest way to try them.

Don’t hesitate to bring the men in your life. I know it has womyn in the title, but it’s really for everyone. The staff will walk him through the merch if he’s hesitant, showing him what he needs and what will please you the most.

Womyn’s Ware has been voted Best Sex Toy Shop in the Georgia Straight’s Best of Vancouver for fifteen years straight. That kind of devout following and consistency speaks for itself. So the next time you’re awkwardly hunting for KY in London Drugs, just leave. Hop on a bus and go to the Drive for an experience that won’t have you cringing.
