Welcome to Vancouver: Where Nature Meets Naughty

So, what does Vancouver ultimately like? Well, the city is too diverse to have uniform preferences. But there are some brands and types of sensual items people add to their cart more often. Let’s take a peek at them:

1. The Lap of Luxury

Maybe it’s because of the dreamy weather? Vancouver is a little obsessed with setting the mood. The city, fortunately, also believes in foreplay. 

You will find items on Vancouver’s purchase list you won’t find anywhere else. For example, you should light up the Jelique Berry Yummy massage candle after you turn the lights off. 

Picture this! The sweet scent has already brought up the romantic in you to the front. And then, as the candle burns, your partner can dip their hands into the soft oil the candle melts into. The berry scent will drive you and your partner crazy. 

Vancouver’s preference for luxury oils is visible in the bulk purchase of Foria Awaken Oil too. The item is what people call a pre-lube. The CBD item is praised for its ability to warm up the genitals and start arousal responses in the body. Caution: Don’t use latex toys or condoms if you apply the oil. 

The use of it is followed by actual lube like Uberlube Luxury, which is again, an item with a lavish feel. 

Of course, if you’re seeking luxury, and you don’t have at least one cozy sex furniture, are you really living the life? Take your pick. Vancouver likes the Liberator Hipster pillow and the ultra-soft Black Label sheets. 

2. Gadgets That Give Goosebumps

Vancouver’s adventurous spirit doesn’t fail to show itself even in the preferences of solo users. Someone you know is walking around with the We-Vibe Moxie+ clipped to their panty without you having any idea. 

Because the clitorial vibe with its 10-vibration mode and We-Connect app control keeps its promise of being whisper-quiet. 

Of course, with the amount of We-Vibe Chorus Couples vibrators selling out, we can guess it’s not only the single people who love their sex techs. 

The rumble and buzzy vibrations aren’t the only sensations people in Vancouver seek either. Some love items like the Satisfyer Love Breeze, a clitoral stimulator which makes you shiver by sending puffs of air. 

Of course, some prefer a little more control and handheld fun, which is why the Dame Com Wand turns out to be a popular item as well. 

The single men know what they like too. For example, a common item you will often find on the purchase list is the Tenga Original Vacuum Cup.

When it comes to male masturbators, everyone knows it has to be a Tenga. After all, they have a futuristic design, multiple tight, rough, and soft stimulation points, and vacuum technology all packed into a single stroker.  

3. Daring Adventures and Kinky Quests

Vancouver’s stance on sexual freedom means the city never shies away from its kinks. There are kink fests you can attend all over the city, and with them comes a need for some expensive fetish gear. 

The cuffs aren’t enough. Vancouver loves showing off its skill with premium bondage ropes like the one from NS Novelties. Some have tamer choices, like a Pipedream Products satin mask, while others take it to the extreme by pairing it with a Calexotics bar gag. 

Some Vancouver kink scene people are only satisfied with the most luxurious items. No other reason for the NS Novelties Bondage Couture to have so many purchases. 

Vancouver’s adventurous spirit is visible in its more non-BDSM-inclined items as well. Not everywhere do you see such an affinity for prostate massagers. Or the confidence to play with a Pipedream Products 13-inch dildo. 

4. The Essentials for Sensual Escapades

The upside of an open-minded city isn’t only the freedom to explore your sexuality. It also allows for things like more emphasis on sex education. 

You’re more likely to have the good sense to use condoms, whether you’re having penetrative sex or not because you understand STI infection doesn’t only happen in a single way. 

No wonder the Drywell Love Extend and even the FC2 Female condoms are pretty popular. 

Fortunately, doubling down on safety doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. The Doc Johnson GoodHead oral sex spray is proof enough. It’s available in different flavors and reduces gag reflexes. Of course, it’s a necessity. 

Speaking of essentials bordering on fun, silicone casting kits like the Empire Labs’ Clone A Willy certainly make it into Vancouver’s most purchased items list. Something about creating clones of your favorite person’s genitals really seems to bond people.

Vancouver knows what it wants. Doesn’t mean we can’t help you out a little. Here are some of our top picks for you:

1. Lelo Smart Wand 2

Wands don’t have a reputation for being extra quiet, but Lelo Smart Wand 2 defies the reputation in every sense. It’s the one to go for if you want more control over your vibrator but live in an apartment. After all, you don’t want your roommate in your business. 

The Wand also doubles as a massager with 10 modes, is USB rechargeable, and is waterproof, so it’s a win-win in every sense. 

2. Sliquid Organics Silk Hybrid Lubricant

Water-based lubes are great, but sometimes, you need the extra-thick, creamy texture of silicone. Preferably, without damaging your silicone toy. 

The Sliquid Organics Lubricant is a hybrid lube with an aloe and silicone blend. It’s all organic and vegan-friendly, so it eases your eco-conscious heart. We know as Vancouver residents, climate change is one of the issues you do care about. 

3. Fleshlight Fleshskins Grip Blue Ice

Who isn’t aware of the Fleshlight? But not everyone wants to buy one due to its somewhat obvious design as a sex toy. 

The Fleshlight Fleshskins is nothing like the others in its line. Considering the preference for the Tenga Vacuum Cup, the Fleshskin Grip looks right up Vancouver’s alley. 

It’s not super expensive, comes with a strong case, and the insertable area is a strong blue. It doesn’t remind people of genitals, and you could carry it with you without worrying. 

Vancouver might be committed to acceptance. But the British Columbia province has close to 10,000 people moving in every year. A good deal of them settle in Vancouver. 

It’s not unusual to feel lonely at first and not know where to meet people. 

Thankfully, the city conducts events and workshops all year round, where you can find your community. 

If you have a strong fetish or are into the BDSM scene, you should keep an eye on Restricted Entertainment. They have an event ongoing almost every month. 

Some of these include famous ones like the Vancouver Fetish Weekend and Sin City Fetish Night. With events like these, if you are particularly new to BDSM, you’ll meet plenty of people willing to discuss or even teach you. 

You should also try out FetLife, which has plenty of Vancouver groups you can connect to online. Always a good idea to get tips from fellow community members or show up in groups for fetish events. 

Then, there are the tamer and specific events. Because where else in the world would you find a workshop for blow jobs? 

Some events, like Explore your Eros help you connect to your body and desires. 

You can find a lot of these events on Eventbrite. 

If you are looking for the most expectations-free, drinks-in-hand, laughter-filled fun night with a bit of sensuality, you should go for slam poetry or storytelling events like Smut Slam Vancouver. 

Don’t worry if you miss this one. You will find more like this if you keep an eye out.
