Cindie’s

My partner and I were turned away at the door of this business. The reason? We’re men. I wish I was joking.
My partner and I were looking for an adult store nearby to pick up a few essentials and discovered Cindie’s via Unilocal.Part of our decision to go to this particular business was the fact that it was still open on Sunday and had a website we could browse (to get an idea of pricing/​products). It was a little out of the way — half an hour or so, but this location was certainly closer than the other. We pulled into the parking lot at roughly 5:30p and immediately noticed a group of women standing outside conversing with one another over their oversized Starbucks drinks. I’m from Seattle, so it was surprising, but not particularly unusual and therefore I didn’t think anything of it. However, my partner and I didn’t even make it to the front door before this same group of women firmly declared «No men allowed!» and moved to block the entrance. Naturally, this stopped us in our tracks and we exchanged confused glances before the group of women added, «No men! Ladie’s night! Go to the other location».
Still confused, my partner and I went back to the car. Their website hadn’t mentioned anything about a ‘Ladie’s Night’ — otherwise we wouldn’t have wasted our time and gas to visit this particular location. There was also no signage on their storefront that indicated a ‘Ladie’s Night’ either. The sign that was on the door said there was a ‘Beach Party’ (also not mentioned on their website) but NO WHERE on the sign did it indicate it was a women’s only event or that men wouldn’t even be allowed into the store.
Thinking the ladies might’ve just been customers trying to do their own policing, we gave Cindie’s a call and told them about being turned away by the ladies outside. We were still sitting in our car in the parking lot and hoping this was all just a misunderstanding since the store was open and nothing indicated only women were allowed in. Their response? «Yeah. No men allowed.»
I understand wanting to have a safe space for women — as a transman I absolutely get it, but there are ways to do that without discriminating against your other customers. Had they bothered to even speak to us they would’ve found that we were NOT there for their ‘Beach Party’ and we were a gay couple (ie: not interested in creeping on the ladies in the store). Oh well.
So we went to XXXcite! Superstore and spent our money there instead. We received excellent customer service and overall had a wonderful experience.
Naturally, we won’t be back to Cindie’s. Discrimination, regardless of who it is directed towards, is not ok.

I can’t believe how desperate they are to take a person’s money. My husband bought me lingerie and was way too big. I asked him to return it and get our money back. He said they wouldn’t give him his money back and only store credit. First of all I didn’t wear the 3XL lingerie and it was the next day he took it back. That is sad how you have to screw your customers!!!

HORRIBLE PRICES!!!
This shop must appeal only to people who have never heard of the internet (and apparently a handful of people who wrote those positive reviews).
Bodywand Midnight
Cindies — $ 77
Amazon — $ 36 (after shipping)
Size Matters Pu*** Pump (list price — $ 28)
Cindies — $ 39
Amazon — $ 12 (after shipping)
What is their justification for charging 2 – 4 times the cost of the item? The pump listed above is nearly FOUR TIMES as much as you can get it elsewhere and $ 11 more than the list price. Sorry, but this is absurd. I’ll never purchase anything here ever again.

I have passed by this place many many times driving down the road. Last night a few friends and I decided to take a peek inside, I always thought it was a lingerie store I had no idea what was in store but I was pleasantly surprised. All of your intimate fantasy needs especially toys The service was great I did not feel like any of the girls that were helping us were rude and any manner they were only helpful very sweet and made me feel like I was just shopping, not like the freak I am looking for the perfect dildo… Which I DID!

Fun place and always great service:) they don’t make you feel uptight and always check things to make sure they’re perfect before you leave.

The staff is SO friendly. Not your typical adult /​novelty store snobs who know boatloads more about dildos or butt-​ticklers than you. I went with my friend, in search of a perfect corset for Carnaval. Although I didn’t find one, I was very impressed with their fitting rooms, the cleanliness of the entire store and once again, the friendliness of the staff.
A little pricey, but they seem to have a large selection of fancier looking items. I didn’t visit the toy section though. Only taking away one star bc of the perceived price: value ratio.

Right of the bat, I’m gonna go ahead and say that I’m a Dreamers loyalist. Cindie’s was interesting. Mostly clothes/​shoes/​lingerie though. Small toy selection, small room for movies, mostly party favor things.
There were minors inside when I showed up, I know this because I knew them.
I went on a Friday night and there was literally one parking space. I’m assuming that has a lot to do with the Amnesia night club next door.

A very adult, low-​key shopping experience. Not the least bit sketchy.
They’ve got lingerie, toys, videos and, at this time of year, Halloween costumes, so the clientele varied greatly. We were 3 girls and one guy, shopping for a toy for a friend (yeah, we take care of our own). No one batted an eyelash, and the whole experience was very chill.
The saleslady was really fantastic and is pretty much what drove me to write a review about this (I kind of go crazy when customer service people are just really GOOD at their jobs.). We spent a great deal of time on our own, politely refusing help, trying to figure out what was what. Once we narrowed down our choices, we went to the register. She started asking us questions, and according to our answers, ended up pointing out some better options. She was very matter of fact, using her own experience to help us decide. The experience was very akin to a bra-​shopping experience (I used to work at VS, so I feel like the training must have been similar) — personal stuff and personal experience talked about in an everyday, no-​frills kind of manner. You can tell she took her job seriously and wanted to make everyone feel comfortable with a typically awkward experience (yes, at times we were giggling like 10 year old boys at some of the… contraptions we saw.).
Lingerie looked cute and may consider going back to check some of it out (when I can get over the utter impracticality of it).

I was cruising down the access road of IH 35 when I saw this store, and remembering my special someone’s birthday coming up, I knew I had to stop in!
I had a great browse of a store with a great deal of variety! I only had a few minutes, so I didn’t get to look over the video selection, but I was really happy with the toy section and even found a few items in the apparel area that I would have considered!
The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because I didn’t actually purchase anything that day, so I don’t yet feel that I can justify the 5 stars. However, I will say that the 4 stars are due to the great help in the store! Both ladies working were really really helpful. When I asked about plus sized lingerie they made sure to tell me about their new Diva store down south. Having worked in retail myself, I know that stores even within the same company often compete, so I really appreciated the information. In addition, they gave me a coupon to use at their other store. They were SOOOOOOO helpful and answered all of my questions, even though they knew I wasn’t going to buy anything from them that day! I respect that.
If you are in the market for some FUN apparel or toys, be sure to stop in and try out Cindie’s!
