Hubba Hubba

Once you start to interact with them, they’re great! It took me a few minutes to ask, before I did, I felt uncomfortable, but once I began asking questions, they helped me for almost an hour! I felt I left with new friends afterwards :-)
Best kink selection in town. Because they get stuff from many places, the variety is quite good. It’s not a huge store like the ones in SF, but they definitely have interesting things.

Great shop!
Coming from NH where most shops are 95% DVD’s, we thought the selection of clothing, leather, toys, and jewelry was awesome. Also… Extremely fair pricing.
Super friendly employees, willing to spend time helping you.
Worth the drive.

Hubba Hubba and it’s sole proprietor, Susan have been around forever. She was selling sex, fetish, punk, leather and toys before anyone else in the greater Boston area.
25 years ago I bought my first pair of Dr Marten boots here. (Oh. This was way before they were common place or mass marketed). This was the only place to buy them outside of a handful of West coast shops or NY’s east village.
Hubba Hubba is a landmark. It’s history. If you see any other fetish or bondage shops around, they owe their success to HHs legacy.
Now, the merchandise is a little more woman-​centric than originally (market), but Susan is welcoming, sweet and punk rock in your face… and she’ll order whatever you need.

They were in pretty bad shape last I visited. Manager lady was actually yelling emotionally at an employee over the phone about coming to work. Puts you on edge. They were telling people that they are simply moving locations, though they were honest about not having found a place as of yet.
Slightly surly service, but that’s to be expected at a struggling shop with strewn-​about stock. Expect to pay cash if your item is under $ 10. The items for sale are sometimes worn with age & dust. They do overprice a lot of their goods… I did manage to get Halloween items on sale and they cut me a deal on a mask. Took $ 4 off.

They also have dildos and gimp masks that look like pigs

I walked in after walking past for three years, and I’m glad I finally mustered up the courage to try this place out.
There were two ladies working that day, and only two or three other customers poking about.
The first thing that caught my eye was the huge selection of corsets. They are affordable and ordered by size (waist size — 4 inches is the size you should get your corset in, they quickly informed me). I had never worn one before, so they helped me get measured and pick a few out for size. I also got laced in by them, and they were super sweet in helping me pick some out that looked nice. I left with two corsets for less than $ 100, which is stellar. Granted, one of them was less boned and more entry level, but the second was thickly boned satin with strong laces and an industrial zipper. Gorgeous! Made me feel like a badass for a little while.
Beyond the lovely staff and the affordable corsets, there is a decent selection of toys, shoes, clothing, and so on here. I poked around a bit, but didn’t get anything else since I didn’t need it. Fun stuff to look at though!
I’ll definitely come back when I would like to pick up some more corsets or want to poke around in a brick and mortar shop instead of on the internet. Cool shop in a T-​accessible location with nice employees, and very helpful and non-​creepy. Stop in if you’re passing by!

Hubba Hubba is a great shop and definitely one of my favorite stops in Boston. They have a good selection of bustiers, PVC, and lingerie– and usually have whatever random piece I need in a hurry. Schoolgirl outfit? No problem, they have it. Garter belt broke? They’ve got a selection. Decide last minute liquid latex is the perfect finish for a costume? They’ve got several colors. Want something different to spice up a blah mood, or a gag gift for a friend? They have it.
I love to go through and browse; I have snagged some of my favorite pieces there.
The staff is friendly and helpful– if you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
