Betty’s Toy Box
ABOUT: “Betty’s Toy Box is a Boutique-style Sex Toy Store founded by women - for everybody.
Betty's Toy Box was founded on one core idea – that sex should be enjoyed without reservation, judgment, or guilt. We were determined to bring high quality products, the kinds of products our own staff use, to our customers in a casual, classy, safe, fun, informative, and sex-positive atmosphere.
We believe that every one of us has a little bit of naughty inside just begging to be let out. We want to encourage you to enjoy your sexuality, to play, to experiment – either by yourself or with your lover. Each product we offer has been hand-picked by the Betty’s staff for its quality, style, and potential for pleasure.”

HEDON
ABOUT: “Inspired by the Goddess spirit Hedone, the personification of sensual pleasure. HEDON is a woman-owned, sex-positive pleasure boutique offering specialty collections of toys, accessories, and sex-care products.”
VALUES:
Sex positivity: we encourage the fun and normalization of shameless exploration and believe following your desires is essential to overall wellbeing.
Pleasure activism: pleasure activism, shout out to pleasure activism by adrienne maree brown, is an act of resistance by simply delighting in lustful imaginations – aka awakening within ourselves desires that make it impossible to settle for anything less than fulfilling. We believe in not just surviving or living a life of self-negation/oppression/suffering, but acknowledging our humanity and place in this world. We stand by this act of resistance that uses pleasure as a step towards personal and liberation.
Sensual living: we believe in a lifestyle that isn’t fixated just on bodily gratification, but one that seeks beauty in every moment, through seeing, feeling, tasting, hearing, and smelling. Sensual living takes pleasure and makes it sacred.
Sexual wellness: we support your overall wellness and quality of relationships through educational resources and sex-care products.

Spectrum Boutique
ABOUT: “Spectrum Boutique is a sex-positive toy store that has a no-nonsense approach to sexuality and sexual education.”
MISSION: “Since Spectrum is geared towards all identities, we avoid gendering our products or telling people how our toys are “supposed” to be used. There’s no such thing as a toy that’s solely “for couples only” or “just for women”, everything in our store can be used by anybody! By being totally transparent about sex, health, and relationships, our hope is that sexuality will become a topic we can discuss without fear or shame.”
