Zoey's Picks

These are the store owners, not the team's. She has owned this store for ten years and bought every piece in it, and this page is the short list of what she would actually spend my own money on. Nobody pays to be on it. No brand buys a spot and no distributor gets a say, which is not true of every list you will read.

Three things get something on here. It has to be body-safe, so silicone, ABS plastic, steel or glass rather than jelly or soft TPE. It has to actually work. And it has to be something I use myself or recommend all the time.

What tends to end up here, and where the rest of each one lives.

• Vibrators: wands, air pulse toys and a few small ones that punch well above their size.
• Dildos: silicone, glass and steel, picked for how they are made rather than how they photograph.
• Bondage gear: cuffs, collars, paddles and whips where the hardware and the stitching hold up.
• Lubricants: unglamorous, and the thing most people underbuy. These are the ones worth keeping in the drawer.
• Books and games: coloring books, playbooks and card decks that are actually funny.
• Best sellers: what is selling most right now, counted rather than chosen.
