Lover’s Lane

The staff is always so helpful when I shop here. I always find everything I’m looking for and more! Even if the item I want is not in stock, they will track it down at another store, or even order it in for me. I love having that option. Being a mom, I don’t always have time to run to multiple stores. The ladies always tell me the promos that are running when I walk in there and answer any questions I have. The store is always clean and neat and smells FANTASTIC! I will continue to give them my business for sure! Keep up the great customer service ladies!

To the red haired woman and piercing in your nose: you have by far the worst customer service skills I’ve seen in a long time.

The store has all of your basic fun items. Apparel, creams, electronics, toys, costumes and shoes.
It is located in a strip mall and a place you would only find if you are looking for it. It doesn’t stand out to say the least. …Prices are typical. Not cheap but they do not break the bank either.
I have stopped in to buy items for myself or as gifts for others. They carry a pretty wide selection and can order items that are not in stock. If you sign up for their emails, you receive notification of promotions and sales.

Closes at 9 on Fridays? They obviously don’t want business.

So I was pretty much thrilled by this place. I’m a known procrastinator and in my final hours before the Pride Parade this year, still had not gotten my costume together and thought Lover’s Lane might be a decent last resort. Turns out, they had everything I needed (and more) and as a bonus, were having a 50% off EVERYTHING sale. I was able to buy my entire get-​up for like $ 50. I was amazed.
Also, I’m typically not a fan of having employee assistance but in this case, I needed it and was very grateful for it. The women who helped me gets a lot of credit for my «Super Queero» ensemble. The highlight was definitely the rainbow wig.
This place went from being a desperate last-​minute option to the perfect choice.

This is a great store, they have a huge selection and really cute lingerie and shoes. The people that work there are great, they will answer any and every question you may have and really make you feel comfortable.

They are ok.
I come here when I don’t feel like driving to a better more elaborate store and I just need something small. (well, not literally!)
The staff are always very helpful. They will answer any questions that you have and even demonstrate the power in the rechargeable toys.
On my last visit, I think I found it most amusing that a couple pulled up at the same time as I did. She stayed in the car crouched down in her seat hiding her face while he went in and shopped for a vibrator. Good times!

When my best friend from high school turned 18 (far sooner than the rest of us), I gave her money to walk into Lover’s Lane and buy me a vibrator because dammit, I had waited long enough.
Aside from the obvious sex toy selection, this place is great if you need cute lingerie, wonderfully over-​the-​top slutty heels, or gifts/​props for a bachelorette party. The people who work here are always friendly and helpful.

I’ve bought quite a few toys here and have found their prices to be comparable if not better than most adult toy stores around.
I like that it’s clean and the associates are friendly (sometimes a little too friendly).
I recently scored a cute pair of «Leg Avenue» black stilettos for about $ 40…they’re super sexy in the bedroom ;D
The only thing that I dislike is the location; right on a busy street. otherwise, I’m a fan. :]

Because suburbanites have adult feelings too!
I know what you’re thinking, how did a young bird like myself make her way into Lover’s Lane, a chain infamous for that cheesy jingle «Couples that play together, stay together»?
While I’m not facing a midlife ‘missionary’ crisis– my first visit was with (gasp) my MOM. She bought something «magic» and I bought clearance heels that I’ll never wear in public. MOTHER DAUGHTER BONDING AT ITS FINEST!
I was not taken aback by the ‘novelties’ for I had perused and purchased something from the grown-​up section of Spencers Gifts, dodging those annoying gaggles of pubescent mallrats, before. Now I was in the suburban pinnacle of sexdom, and rather than dodging kids, older adults, mainly men, possibly friends parents, are the distracting clientele. Ah, the joys of growing up.
While, I have visited Lovers Lane since the transplant to Chicago, I’ve realized the stock is lacking and some of the prices are audacious. It is not my favorite adult shop, but for many people this is their ONLY option, so I have respect for those couples (or singles) that flock to this colorful strip mall to spice up their love lives.
DO KEEP ABREAST OF THE ANNUAL SALE at the beginning of the year. 50% OFF IS A GREAT WAY TO SAY I LOVE YOU (to someone special– including just yourself).
