Whether you’re flying solo or
looking to spice things up with
your partner, these shops have
everything to cater to your adult needs.
What is it? When it comes to a
bricks-and-mortar shop, Amy’s
Bedroom is the place to go. Having
been in Shanghai for more than eight
years now, they know what people
want. You’ll find an extensive range
of high-quality toys for men,
women and couples; ladies’ lingerie
ranging tasteful to naughty; S&M
accessories and bondage gear;
massage oils and lubricants, novelty
gifts and more.
Quality of offerings Amy’s carries
items from the best names in adult
toy-making, like renowned and
artfully designed Swedish brand
Lelo; industry veterans Fun
Factory; luxury men and women’s
brand La Coquette; dildo artisans
Vixen Creations; Eros lubricants;
men’s toys by Tenga and many more.
They have samples on display of
most toys so you don’t have to guess
about shape, texture or size.
Discretion Though located in a bustling part of the FFC, the frosted
glass storefront and minimal
signage lets you peruse at Amy’s
in privacy. If you’re afraid of being
spotted, visit the website to find the
Taobao shop and chat with online
helpers (Chinese only).
Amy's Bedroom is at 160 Xiangyang Nan Lu, near Nanchang Lu, Xuhui district.
What is it?
MyHoney
has a modest
but complete
collection of toys
and accessories, plus
a little bit of lingerie. The
two stores (called ‘entity shops’) are
small but nicely stocked, while the
website has slightly more extensive
collections from the brands on offer.
Quality of offerings Like Amy’s, the
shop carries the best of Lelo and Fun
Factory. It’s well stocked with male-focused
masturbator makers Tenga
and Fleshlight, plus an extensive
offering of imported Japanese
products. Among the mix are
questionable items like ‘Loveaider
American boy dong’ whose
manufacturing quality we wouldn’t
want to test on our own bodies.
Discretion MyHoney’s Jiaozhou Lu Shop is sandwiched between a
string of small stores, making
it feel less conspicuous
than Amy’s central
location – though its
bright pink exterior
isn’t very hush
hush. The online
shop is a user-friendly
option for
those who want
more privacy.
MyHoney is at
No 2-3 Jiaozhou Lu, Lane 293, near Xinzha Lu, Jingan district.
What is it? Playroom is a China-based
e-boutique offering a trendy,
curated selection of toys, lubricants, massage oils, gifts and games. It’s also a one-stop
destination for adult lifestyle
information, where you’ll find things
like flowcharts to help you select the
right vibrator, playlists and fashion picks.
Quality of offerings Playroom
sells only the best brands. The
site is playful but informative
(and available in fluent English).
It does a great job of encouraging
open minds and positive attitudes
towards intimacy while
also teaching you how to improve life in the bedroom with the aid of fun
accessories.
Discretion Being online only,
Playroom is as private as it gets, and
it boasts ‘discreet delivery’ as well.

anyone).
