If you love vampire movies and books like we do, you’ll be thrilled to get your hands on the pale, shimmery, limited edition Vamp dildo. Inspired by the recent flood of delicious vampire stories, Tantus created this semi-realistic, mid-sized, eerily delightful dildo. Strap it on and roleplay some, ahem, possible deleted scenes from your favorite vampire tales–Halloween sex anyone? And whether you go for the thrill of sharp teeth or not, you’ll enjoy the firm texture, pronounced head, and shimmery alabaster color.

Glossy red patent leather brings a stylish yet functional edge to your kinky adventures; after all, who doesn’t want to look good while being spanked, restrained and blindfolded into submission? And of course, each component brings you the sturdy, uncompromising quality you’ve come to expect from Babeland.
We know it’s quite a claim, but Nomi Tang’s Better Than Chocolate vibrator really lives up to its name. Skin-safe elastomer follows your body’s own curves, providing heavenly direct clitoral stimulation. But before you get swept away, take a moment to appreciate the gorgeous design; just run a finger along the touch slider to control to change the intensity and vibration pattern (you can even lock the setting once you find your match.) Waterproof up to one meter and storable in an elegant white velvet pouch, Better Than Chocolate is the perfect designer vibe to use by yourself or to nestle between bodies.
While sex toys are undeniably a blast, I know I find myself having to stock up on all of the sex toy “accessories” needed to enjoy them. Items like batteries to keep those toys delivering their whirring vibrations, lube to keep everything slick and slippery and feeling great and of course, condoms to keep silicone toys like new and also to keep yourself safe if you’re using them with different/multiple partners. These accessories can certainly become costly, which is why it’s wise to stock up on them at discount stores or when there’s a great sale going on. But when do regular retail stores run sales on batteries, lube and condoms? Yeah, never. Luckily, Babeland has you covered and it’s the perfect time to stock up on all of your most-used items.
Babeland is currently running a Stock Up and Save Sale so now is definitely the time to stock up on your most-used condoms, lube and batteries. When you buy more of you use the most, you will receive 25% off your purchase!
It’s always wise to keep a stash of condoms on hand for whenever you may need them. Keep a few in your purse, in your bathroom medicine cabinet, in the drawer of your nightstand or wherever you keep the rest of your adult goodies. The Babeland condom is thin, silky-smooth latex that transmits body heat between partners and allows maximum sensation for the wearer, which is definitely music to any man’s ears. It is pre-lubricated, basic, smooth and strong!
You can never have enough batteries! Even when you buy them in bulk, they seem to disappear before you know it, so be sure to stock up for the long winter, you don’t know when you’re going to get snowed in or when it will be too cold to go out, so why not stay in when you know you have enough batteries to last the long hibernation?
Lube can turn any event from ordinary to absolute, don’t stop extroadinary and BabeLube’s original lube is thick and long-lasting. It is water-based and glycerin-free with no smell or taste, so you don’t have to worry about a smell you can’t stand taking you right out of the mood or having to taste something awful if you go down after use.
BabeLube is great but BabeLubettes take the paraben-free, non-irritating and natural lube and put it in easy-to-use, single-use pouches for availability and accessibility. You can put these cute little pouches wherever you keep your condoms in a nice little space for you to reach for when you need them. BabeLubette lube has a thick gel consistency, is glycerin-free, odorless, tasteless, non-staining, is great for sensitive skin and is ideal for use with any sex toy material. BabeLubettes are a staff favorite!
Babeland Naturals Organic Lube pampers your skin with subtle fresh flavors and skin-healing aloe. It makes your intimate time slicker, wetter and a little bit sweeter. This lube is paraben-free and free of petro-chemicals; it’s not tested on animals and completely organic! It’s also as good for your skin and for your body as it is for your sex life! Babeland Naturals Organic Lube is available in two scents–Naked, which has a hint of lemon and vanilla, and Fresh, which has subtle mint-infusion. Babeland Naturals Organic Lube is a Staff Pick!

Every month Babeland hosts a series of workshops and events for women and couples at their three stores in L.E.S., SoHo, Brooklyn, and Seattle. What I love about Babeland is that they are completely pro-women and pro-feminist, as I have boasted about before, and many of their great events and workshops are completely free to attend so finances are not a factor in whether or not you can experience what Babeland has to offer.
This summer Babeland has some great events and workshops lined up and due to the economy, I know I am not about to shell out money I may not have for luxuries, so I am only highlighting the free events below; check them out!
