In New York City and Seattle, Babelanders have been been out in the streets (that’s a pun, too, read on).

The Babeland Seattle crew as the Birds and Bees in the Seattle Out and Proud Parade last weekend.

Babelanders marching in the Brooklyn Pride Parade a couple of weeks ago in sex toy costumes. Yes, that’s a Hitachi Magic Wand and a Babeland Silver Bullet.

Customer Appreciation-Sweet Treats for Sexy People. Babeland and Jimmyjane, one of our favorite sex toy designers, gave away free ice cream in front of the Babeland SoHo and Babeland Brooklyn stores this week. New Yorkers love free ice cream and we love New Yorkers. The Babeland Vulva made an appearance and posed for photos.

Through Monday, we’re running a pretty amazing promo: $5 off when you spend $50 (code: PRIDE5), $15 off when you spend $100 (code: PRIDE15), or $30 off when you spend $150 (code: PRIDE30).  That’s up to 20% off your purchase, folks!  And while I’d never presume to tell you what toys would best suit you, personally, I thought I’d take this opportunity to tell you how I might use that discount here at Babeland:

SAVE $5:  If I had to pick one toy on which to spend $50, I’m pretty sure I’d be getting my grubby little paws on the Boss Naked ($67).  For years — YEARS — customers have been begging us to carry a high-quality, realistically phallic vibrator, and now we’ve got it (exclusive to Babeland, no less!). The Boss Naked is silicone, powerful, realistic without being too realistic, and even has a turbo boost button for an extra burst of vibration when you need it most.  Want.

Or, if I were gonna spread the wealth a bit, I might choose to buy the Orgasm in a Box (Hers) for $18 and the Door Jam Cuffs ($32), for a travel-friendly total of exactly $50; put ‘em together, and you’ve got a recipe for amazing hotel room sex. (And I do love hotel room sex.)

And of course, the Hitachi Magic Wand ($54) was/is my first love, and it’s still going strong after ten years; frankly, I’d buy another one just to keep in the closet, in case mine should ever give up the ghost.

If you get creative, pretty much any sex toy can be used by anyone, in one way or another.  The Aneros, designed for prostate stimulation, can also be great for G-spot fun; the Rabbit Habit, designed for simultaneous vaginal and clit stimulation, has been used by some for anal penetration (with the bunny ears flickering against the perineum).  In the wide world of sex toys, you’re limited only by your imagination.

That said, we do have some toys that are especially awesome for LGBTQI sex toy seekers! And as many of us are basking in the glow of recent or imminent LGBTQI Pride festivities, now’s the time to grab your favorite sex toy (or a brand-new one!) and get downright… well, proud with it.  And we’ll be proud of you for taking the leap.  Pride abounds here at Babeland,  and we’ve got the perfect collection of queer-friendly sex toys to keep the party going long after the parade route’s been cleaned up.  Enjoy!
