Sex Toys London, Ontario

London is big enough to have in-person adult stores, and walking into one makes sense if you'd like to feel a texture, see the real size of a toy or ask someone a question on the spot. Plenty of people still prefer to browse privately, though, especially in a city where you might bump into a classmate, a co-worker or a neighbour.

Ordering from an online adult store gives you a few things a single shelf can't:

• Range: more than 80 brands, including LELO, Womanizer, Satisfyer, Tenga, Kiiroo and Aneros
• Time to compare: read the specs at your own pace instead of deciding under fluorescent lights
• Privacy at the till: your card statement shows Vamoson Inc., our parent company
• No border surprises: prices are in Canadian dollars and nothing clears customs

A large share of London's renters are students, and shared houses near campus come with thin walls, roommates and a single front porch where parcels pile up. If you're buying sex toys in London as a student, a few practical habits help. Pick a toy with a stated low noise level if you share a wall, and check whether it charges by USB so you aren't hunting for batteries. Keep a small bottle of lube and some toy cleaner with it, and store everything in a pouch or drawer you can close.

Students at Western University and Fanshawe College can use code STUD20 for 20% off at checkout, with no ID or school email needed; see our student discount page. If your housemates collect the mail, have the order sent somewhere you'll be home, or to a workplace where you're comfortable picking up a plain box.

Product photos make most toys look the same size, so the spec sheet matters more than the picture. Before you add something to your cart, look for:

• Insertable length and diameter: the part that matters, as opposed to the overall length including the handle
• Body-safe materials: silicone, glass and stainless steel are non-porous and simple to wash
• Charging and run time: rechargeable models save on batteries; check how long a full charge lasts
• Water resistance: "waterproof" means it can go in the bath, "splash-proof" only means it survives a rinse
• Controls: one or two buttons are easier for a first toy than a long list of patterns

If this is your first purchase, a compact bullet vibrator or something from our beginner-friendly collection keeps things simple, and our guide to choosing your first sex toy explains the main types. For him, a Tenga cup or another male masturbator is an easy start.

Couples often begin with a vibrating ring or a wearable vibrator; see our roundup of the best couples' sex toys. Buying for someone else and not sure of their taste? A Dreamy Desire gift card lets them pick.

We ship adult toys across London, including Downtown, Old North, Old East Village, Wortley Village, Byron, Masonville, Hyde Park, Westmount, White Oaks, Argyle and Lambeth. Outside the city, we also deliver to St. Thomas, Strathroy, Komoka, Ilderton and Dorchester, and to any other address in the area that Canada Post, UPS or Purolator can reach.

If you live in an apartment tower near Masonville or downtown, check whether your building holds parcels at a front desk or in lockers, and choose the address that keeps things easiest for you.

Orders leave our warehouse in British Columbia with Canada Post, UPS or Purolator, so they have further to travel than a parcel from a local business. Every package heading to London gets the same treatment. We process orders within 1 to 2 business days and email you a tracking link once yours ships. Because it never leaves Canada, there are no customs forms, duties or brokerage fees.

Ontario's 13% HST is added at checkout. Standard shipping is free on orders of $100 or more, and for smaller orders the shipping rate appears at checkout before you pay. The box is plain, with no product names or store branding. If a product turns out to be defective, it's covered by our 90-day money-back guarantee; opened intimate products can't be returned for a change of mind.
