Early to Bed

The staff here are great and will help you with anything you need and answer any of your questions. The vibe of the store itself is very welcoming and friendly. There's also a large variety of products to choose from, as well as trans-affirming products. I bought my first binder here after one of the staff helped measure me and made recommendations for brands and sizes. I've been happy with it so far.

This place is amazing! The staff are not only awesome but also knowledgeable and friendly. They have a fantastic selection, as well, especially of dildos and vibrators. Good selection of harnesses, as well, and even a small section for gender-affirming clothing. The best part, their prices are great! And it feels wonderful to help out a local shop rather than one of those big faceless websites.

My wife saw this place on a "gay things to do in Chicago" tiktok and we had never been to Andersonville ( we don't live in Chicago) so we were excited to check it out. The store was clean and well stocked and super reasonably priced. In my experience a lot of adult stores really overprice implements etc, especially the mass produced imported stuff, but the prices here were great. Which just means we bought more stuff. Also shout out to the employee who recommended the curried veggie pot pie at Lady Gregory's. I ate it twice on this trip it was so good.

I want to love this place but every time I come I am made to feel extremely unwelcome. I don’t know if it’s my appearance or the time of day but I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt but it keeps happening. Already being nervous to go to a store like this for the stigma associated with it, the anxiety is compounded by the lack of help and the general attitude I am given. I get you close at 7p but I arrived at 6:45p, knowing exactly what I wanted and making sure I left before you close. Immediately, I am told “we close in 15 minutes” which is normal for a store to do. It’s a small store so it’s easy to do a quick stop and I immediately grab what I came for. The split second before I walk to checkout I am told “you know we close in 10 minutes.” Like yeah I got the message the first time and now I am feeling they just don’t want me there at all. At check out I am not spoken a word, no hello or anything which is totally fine but when you are super friendly with the customer before me and helping them out and making them feel welcome and asking questions, it would make anyone wonder if there is something wrong with themself. Again, I totally get not wanting people passed close but having a verbal count down clock on your one customer while y’all were very much still open and then showing a colder persona than other customers gave me the impression I should never come back. This isn’t the first time I got this impression either. I’ve been several times before and each time has been the same feeling like I ruined the workers day by just being there.

E2B is my go to story for all things sexy and self love. I discovered them while wandering around the adorable downtown, literally shrieking with delight. I love supporting this small, badass business while supporting myself. Keep being amazing E2B!

Just visited this place almost a week ago, my roommates just said ‘we’re going to a little adult shop let’s go!!’ during our last day in the city. This place was SO RAD. The workers were so kind and very LGBTQ friendly , the way their toys and harnesses were displayed was very intuitive and it was nice to be able to touch a display toy to check the texture. Also loved the little book section. Their inventory seems very well vetted and curated too. Every harness was made of good leather or durable vegan materials while all the toys were good quality silicone. The prices were very competitive compared to a lot of shops I’ve been to. Some of their Aslan Leather harnesses were marked close to $120 in store but buying directly from the brand has their harnesses like $180, so they make shopping in store worth it. Great pricing, great service, great energies, great people working there.

Best sex shop I have ever been to - and now basically the only one I go to. This is the most inclusive and friendly place I have ever been - and being trans, I don't usually get to say that. It is so welcoming and safe, and I'm never afraid to ask questions. For as long as I stay in Chicago, this is where I will be shopping.

Wonderful staff, inclusive space, and wide selection for everything from books and educational material to spicy toys and things to wear.
