If you’re not into the physical adult stores. We recommend you to buy from the following webshops. The delivery is super fast (within 1-2 days), and here you don’t have to be afraid of meeting someone you know.

1. Babeland, Mercer St, NYC

Babeland is one of our favorite adult stores in the US. They really manage to keep it professional, so you don’t feel awkward when visiting. The store in NYC is located in Lower Manhattan and do therefore surround itself with exclusive shops. It’s from the outside and is a bit discreet, so keep your eyes open when you reach Mercer St. The store is pretty big, and you immediately feel welcomed.

You can also buy from their online webshop if you don’t feel for visiting the adult store: Babeland.com

2. Romantic Depot Manhattan, Broadway, NYC

Here we have the second-best physical adult store in NYC. This one is located at Broadway. Compared to the other New York City sexshops this has a really big selection. I think the manager said more than 100.000 product numbers. The store was opened in the year 2000, and do therefore go as one of the oldest and most experienced in the Big Apple. I’m sure you’ll have a really fun time in this store. If you can’t find a sex toy for you here, then I guess you shouldn’t buy any.

3. A&J Lingerie and More, 28th St., NYC

A&J Lingerie is located near Madison Square Park and is specialized in Lingerie, Sex toys, and bachelorette selections. The concept was started by Ida B in 1960 dealing mostly with kids closing. But chose to start a new concept in august 2001 (discounted lingerie and sex toys). It’s a minor store which you’ll easily see due to the logo/banner in front. The staff is super professional, and we actually had a fun experience there.

4. Museum of Sex, 5th Ave, NYC

Museum of Sex is NOT an adult store in the way we know it. It’s a museum about sex and sex toys. And is actually listed here because we thought it was a sexshop, and choose to list it here so you don’t make the same mistake. We were super excited though, and it’s actually a pretty good place for dates, couples, friends, etc. to start a fun night. The manager told us that they in a short time have gotten attention from academic institutions, sexologists, and many others.
