Babeland Brooklyn Reviews (NSFW pics)

My review will be brief as I have to pack BUT-

Amazingly friendly staff, including the PR lady who was awesome and sweet. The shop is smaller than the other two locations but does not lack the style of feel of its sisters- approachable, informative and sexy would be the three words I would use to describe this shop. Discreet from the outside but passionate from within, I totally look forward to shopping here LOTS in the future. I watched an impromptu demonstration of the wooden toys (which looked amazing, no splinters!) and the girl demonstrating seemed very informed but not pushy.


Annnnd they gave us amazing giftbags and seemed generally very interested in the community and serving it to the best of its ability.

Go shop here!

carmen said it so well, and so eloquently, i don't know that i have much more to add.

what i found most interesting, in speaking with claire cavanaugh, was that she says this is the first location they'd opened where there were no barriers to getting the space. they didn't have to make presentations, promise to be good/quiet neighbors, etc., as they apparently did at all of their other locations. it seems that PS welcomed them with open arms. i find that impressive

Pictures or it didn't happen :-)

So is this a combination sex shop/ baby store? I thought I heard they were catering to moms who needed rattles, blankets and so on.

Would a male feel comfortable there shopping for a gift "for his wife"?

A male would feel comfortable shopping for a gift for himself as well. Speaking from experience.

We got "media gift bags" and let's just say it was enough to keep a girl busy for the whole summer :oops:

i really, really wish you hadn't written this. in fact, i specifically asked you not to. and if it matters, it was a brown dildo. regardless, i got no creepy vibes from him.

thanks for the visuals, Mami. As 8thandPrez points out, boys find things to buy too :-)

I think I threw up a little bit in my mouth after seeing the pictures. So, are those oddly shaped gadgets in high demand?

So-what was in the media kit? I might have to drop by there today and check it out!

And mamacita, I take offense at "there you go ladies, all you need!" as if a chirpy kelly ripa sanctioned "GO" makes this crap any more palatable. I prefer my filth filthy.
kthanks.

Okaaaaaaaaaaaay :roll:

Kelly Ripa?

You prefer your "filth flthy"? Good for you! =D>

Chill out.

kthanks.

^^ Here's an example of why Chicklynian could be a good idea...although I know a few gentlemen who would also get the THEY need there.

It's not filthy. It's sex, and it should be fun.

it's cool with ME if sex is just for us grrls...but my understanding is that a significant subset of the population disagrees. :safe:
