This didn't happen today; it was Saturday.
They were very rude to the member of staff arriving and wrote graffiti on our door step and then ran off.
But didn't they take a lovely photo of our window display?!?!
We spoke too soon. They came BACK!
With a Daily Mail journalist and photographer.
They've gone now, but we've been told they're definitely not singling us out and will be protesting at the Hindu temple and Victim Support too.
We're very concerned that
#Glasgow
city centre is not safe today so we are taking the rare decision to CLOSE EARLY.
If you were planning on visiting the store today please don't as we'll shortly be closing the doors.

Hi all, we're back. It's been a crazy couple of days and we have not stopped answering lots and lots of questions. But we have been hesitant to do that here because we'll... <gestures at everything>
So let's get some things established especially if you're not up to date.
Someone (Not us) left a lovely wee note of support for

Thank you to all wishing us well. The team has all made it home safely but we have to say that our train journey was *tense*.
Our hearts really went out to the family with small children we saw who were out to celebrate. They saw what was happening and rightly decided to leave.
Would the customer who left with our hand sanitizer instead of the bottle of lube that they purchase please return to the store immediately.
Thank you.
Whenever we think we've seen it all along comes someone even worse.
To the group of 3 who tried to enter the store today without masks and once challenged refused for no reason then declared they "would never shop here again" - good.
Don't come back.
It's our 10th birthday 🎂 TODAY!
At noon on 1/4/2010 we opened our doors for the first time and welcomed our very first customer. They bought a Great American Challenge.
Small independent adult retailers up and down the country do lots of amazing work supporting their local community. There isn't funding to support a business in this, everything comes from sales in our shop. If you like what we do please consider shopping with us.

over for another year. Time to make a list:
1. Have a drink or two down the local boozer and have a wee cry.
2. Start planning out what you're going to do with everything we heard and learned.
3. "Change the world with our words".
Normalise shopping in a sex shop!
A customer told us recently that they were so embarrassed that they didn't want the staff member serving them to know what they were buying.
Thank you to everyone who shopped with us this year or even if you popped into our
#Glasgow
store just to say hi.
Merry Christmas Everyone.
And a safe and healthy New Year.

Our

store is CLOSED and will not reopen until the Scottish Government says nonessential shops can do so.
We're working hard to make sure that we have resources and systems in place to keep our team and customers safe once that happens.

tonight in Hootenanny’s in Glasgow I met a pretty girl who gave me a kiss goodbye and the bouncer asked us to ‘step outside because the whole pub was watching’. He then said I had the wrong idea when I said this sounded homophobic after a straight couple at the table next to us-
Somethings are better in person and now you can see for yourself the new brands available in our

store - including the gorgeous Japanese imported Liebe Seele bondage accessories.
Find them at too.
Changes in legislation won't have any effect on what we have always been doing - to listen and support whenever we can. To receive training (at our expense) so we can do that effectively is very welcome - we're looking forward to providing that for our latest store team.
We're at the Rainbow Ceilidh in Glasgow tonight for a wee dance. All on aid of Waverley Care, Scotland's HIV and Hepatitis C charity.
How's your Valentine's weekend?

from today! 🖤🤍💜
Are you Asexual, Aromantic, Grey Ace or Demisexual? A rarely talked about area of sexuality might be key to understanding your relationship with sex and romance.
We're still buzzing over being on the radio yesterday.
Big shout out to team member "Sam" (for that is her name now) who helped us get those good vibes across in the interview.
So certain people have just discovered that Third Party Reporting Centres exists and they're not happy about changes in legislation in Scotland around the reporting of hate crimes. We've been signed up for this as just such a centre for over a decade without any issues.
We have lots of experience of dealing with sensitive personal information and as an adult retailer you would expect nothing less than discretion and privacy whenever you deal with us. We have also been victims of hate crimes ourselves and know full well how traumatic these are.
One of these years maybe we won't get a message asking us if we're open on Christmas Day. This year was not that year. 😂
Merry Christmas everyone. We hope you're all suitably stuffed, or about to be! See you all when we return on 27th Dec.
We've decided to turn off replies on all new tweets for a little while, because we need to be able to post about vaginas and vulvas and periods and women's history without loads of nasty, transphobic replies derailing the conversation.
An extra day in London🇬🇧 after

wouldn't be complete without a visit to at least one adult store - this year it was the amazing
@shwomenstore
💖 and we were privileged have met the founder and chat to some of their wonderful team.
As a business who volunteers their time and expense to do this it was particularly hurtful to see many comments accusing us of all sorts of things. For local MSP Annie Wells to brand our involvement as 'sinister' and "ill thought out" was especially thoughtless and ill-informed.

We're now 13 (wtf where did the time go) and to celebrate we're having a massive SALE promotion IN-STORE
#Glasgow
for one week ONLY.
We have some VERY exciting news to share... WE ARE OPENING! We have a date - 16th November! We have a premises - Units 17&18 Stables Market, Camden! We're busily preparing our first exhibition! Now all we need is YOU to come along and see us in the flesh...
Why did we do this? Because we're a community safe space where people of ALL sexualities can talk about the sex that they're having, or hope to have. We listen and advise without prejudice or judgement, and where we can't help directly we signpost for all the support out there.
We love our wee sexy shop!

It's not often we feel the need to draw attention to bad behaviour but it was the utter arrogance that their shopping convenience was more important. That the lifes of staff, other customers and their families meant less than nothing was truly astounding.
We are so fucking angry.
@PupGalileo
Our store team offered immediate counter service, or alternative private shopping appointment, which you declined. By ensuring that masks are mandatory beyond the counter we ensure the safety and comfort of all shoppers and staff in what is a small and poorly ventilated space.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Our
#Glasgow
store is open till 5pm today - a little sooner than advertised to help our team get home safely with the rail strikes.
IT'S OUR BIRTHDAY!
The world needs a
@vagina_museum
so we're helping raise much needed funds for their crowdfunder by donating 10% of all Gift Card sales this birthday weekend in our
#Glasgow
store
PLUS we'll boost your card with an extra 10% too.
Planning on visiting our
#Glasgow
store soon?
Face coverings remain mandatory for in-store browsing. If your unable to wear one you can still be served safely from our front counter, or book a private shopping appointment or video call.
Let's keep each other safe.
Naturally, just like other shops, sometimes the conversation turns to other personal aspects of folks lives including some of the traumatic events like being the victim of a crime. These sorts of conversations have always happened in spaces where folk feel safe to tell them.
As we head into tougher lockdown here in
#Glasgow
we're withdrawing kerbside collection until further notice.
A wee smile as we spot our local postoffice on the BBC news app, where many of your orders are shipped from. 👋📦
Let's dispel some myths:
No information given to us is retained for any longer than we have permission. We don't record any of the details given to Police Scotland other than a name and contact details, if they wish us to have them, and we won't contact anyone without permission.
Ok

it's the penultimate day before we close the store for 3 weeks of

Open today + tomorrow 11am to 6pm.
Earlier this year we spotted the crowdfunding for the
@vagina_museum
and were shocked to discover that there were plenty of Penis Museums but none dedicated to the Vagina or Vulva.
Wow! We've been nominated in the inaugural PROUD Scotland Awards in the Retailer category.
Thank you so much to those who nominated us and congratulations to all our fellow…
