Me and my colleagues at Sub Rosa selected these tops picks from our favorite local woman-owned sex shop. If you have yet to visit SheBop in Portland or online, I highly recommend it. They have walk-in locations in North Portland and SE Division, with knowledgable staff, and an inviting approachable atmosphere. They also have an awesome selection of online sexual empowerment classes. Support your local sex shop, wherever you are. You can easily shop online using the links below.
My favorites:
The Joque Harness
I love this harness, it looks like a jock strap, is stretchy with plenty of sizing adjustments, and no complicated buckles to mess with in strapping on, just shove the dick through the hole and you're ready to go. Also, easily washable. Purchase here.
Magic Wand Micro
It's like your hitachi had a baby hitachi. It is truly the cutest lil' vibe you ever did see, and it packs a nice rumbly vibe too. A great addition to the family - the big motor mama, the medium cordless, and this lil' micro. Collect them all! Purchase here.
KinkLab Neon Wand
I love sensation play, and the sound of electricity can be a real adrenaline booster when a submissive is blindfolded and I’m zapping all their sensitive bits. I love the PowerTripper attachment which makes any sharp metal object electrified. A fine metal point used in this way feels like a knife but leaves no mark. Purchase here.
Vector Remote Plug
Imagine plugging your submissive and then sending them out to run errands, and all the while you are controlling the vibrations in their bum remotely. This one is great for people with prostates, but they make a great one for vaginal pleasure as well (We Vibe Sync). Purchase here.
Thigh Harness
This thing is very handy when you’ve got someone in bondage and you need hands free orgasm torment and edging. It essentially acts as BOTH a hitachi holster and a thigh harness for your dildo. You can wrap it around a thigh or other object to support a hitachi vibe OR any dildo with up to 2″ in diameter. And since it is made of faux leather and nylon webbing you can easily clean it. Purchase here.

Natasha’s Book
SheBop carries Kink for the Curious at both their locations as well as online. If you are looking for a fun way to learn about kink, power exchange, and creating safe healthy boundaries, this is a great place to begin. Full of color pages and puzzles, as well as solid information about power exchange and a wide range of fetishes, this book also makes a great gift for those curious special friends in your life. Purchase here.
Bit Gag
While a ball gag is the iconic go-to gag, we find bit gags much easier to use for many people. This silicon style gives your bottom/sub something to bite on, while leaving their lips available to kiss and caress. Because it’s not forcing their mouth open as wide, they can often wear it for longer as well.
Purchase here.
Aneros Helix
This is our absolutely favorite butt toy for people with a prostate. It’s small enough that even those new to anal play can accommodate it and long enough that it rests right up against the prostate giving it
a little push. This one vibrates!
Purchase here.
Good Clean Love
As our bodies age, the lube we need changes. Good Clean Love is an Oregon based, lube company created by a woman who couldn’t find that lube – so she created it. It has a thicker consistency and is created with bio-match technology to match your needs.
Purchase here.
Penis Extender
The Vixen Creations Ride On Penis extender is a great toy. Whether you are looking to try wielding something larger than your own, denying yourself sensation while still thrilling your partner, or looking for help when your body isn’t cooperating, these types of extenders can be a fun addition to your sex life. Purchase here.
Emma’s Favorites:

njoy Pure Wand
Hathor Pure Lube
Hathor Pure has been Emma’s favorite lube for years — it is made with healthy botanical ingredients and feels absolutely amazing! Purchase here.
Magic Wand Mini
The Magic Wand Mini is easier to hold and maneuver than the larger (and heavier) Magic Wands, plus it’s the perfect wand to travel with or throw in your backpack.
Purchase here.
Dual Density VixSkin
Dual-density VixSkin gives the big-but-not-too-big Maverick flexibility and control at the same time — and the design of the head is *chef’s kiss*. In general, dual density toys are so much more realistic and sexy.
Purchase here.
In Her Tube Flogger
I love the sting of an In Her Tube flogger! This locally made flogger is both comfortable to use (topping) and delightfully painful to use (bottoming). Purchase here.
