One of the most successful and influential GLBT bookstores in North America, Little Sister’s has been a fixture of Davie Village since 1983. It functions as a de facto LGBT community resource center and meeting place in Vancouver, as well as stocking an extensive selection of gay and lesbian literature and periodicals, sex toys and vibrators, condoms and lube, porn and erotica, Pride items (rainbow flags, jewelry, cards), underwear, T-shirts, and kinky club wear. The store is staffed by a friendly, helpful team of women and men, and it’s a nicely laid-out, well-lighted, and centrally located spot.
As pleasant as the physical store is, Little Sister’s has remained successful in part because of its success as an online store. The company actually runs four different sites: MyToyStore.ca is your one-stop for women’s and men’s adult toys, gear, and the like, while ExplicitBooks.com carries erotica, porn, sex-ed lit, and other useful material. Visit GLBTPrideStore.com. There’s also a more general site, LittleSisters.ca, that provides history on the shop and, most interestingly, information about the store’s important and brave efforts to fight censorship in the 1980s – it’s a battle that continues to this day.
The Jean Queen
Address: 2277 Commercial Drive, Vancouver, BC, V5N 4B6
Phone: (604) 215-7833
Website: www.thejeanqueen.ca

Email: info@thejeanqueen.ca
Don’t be misled by the title of the shop – while jeans of any kind are strictly forbidden at Sin City and do not pass the dress code, The Jean Queen carries far more than just jeans! With a large selection of sexy hosiery, lingerie, affordable mid-price range corsets and a variety of kinky costume options, as well as an ultra convenient transit location just blocks from the Commercial & Broadway Skytrain Station, The Jean Queen is an excellent source for new fetish outfit options that are easy on the wallet and a feast the eyes as well.
The Jean Queen opened in September 2000 and primarily imports their clothing and accessories directly from Los Angeles, California. Their stock is always changing, and they receive new inventory frequently. Stop by whenever you are in the area and let them know you’re shopping for Sin!
Flirty Rabbit
Address: 1151 Davie Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 1N2
Phone: (604) 687-2337
Website: www.ultralove.ca

Email: retail@ultralove.ca
Originally named Ultra Love, Flirty Rabbit opened its doors for business in December of 1972 and was the first adult toy store in Vancouver and one of the first in Canada. They grew from a small retail store to one of the largest wholesaler Distributors in Canada. Today, with nearly 40 years of experience and growth in the adult toy industry, as an online retailer, they continue to provide their customers with the best selection from the world of romance and adult play products.
As a retail store, Flirty Rabbit is surprisingly good! Its proximity to other lower end sex stores may give the impression of a lower grade adult store, but don’t be fooled! It’s not and it has an excellent selection of fetish wear outfits, of course for women, but surprisingly, especially for men! Love’s Touch is just a few blocks away, but their selection for guys can be small. Priape is just across the street but tends to have high end and more involved outfits in latex and leather, which are amazing but can be out of the budget if you’re looking for purchases easier on the wallet. For casual fet-wear shopping, you’ll often find what you need at Ultra Love, be it naughty custom boxer-style briefs, boas, mid-priced corsets, fishnet tops and bottoms of many different styles, sequined booty shorts, and more!
