GAY MEN DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO CRUISE, HOOK UP, OR HAVE AN ADULT GOOD TIME, YOU…read moreWILL BE GREATLY DISAPPOINTED!!! GLORY HOLES COVERED UP AN POLICY IS ONE PERSON PER BOOTH, SEEMINGLY STRICTLY ENFORCED. OK, to be fair this is an above average adult shop if you are looking for basic adult video store no arcade. However, my review is really in regards to its video arcade. No glory holes, no buddy booths, and it seems owner is actively discouraging gay cruising activity, which from a business standpoint is financially foolish, especially considering they could easily charge ten to twenty dollars for arcade access and let consisting adults have adult fun, but instead there is only one person per booth, no glory holes, no buddy booths, and basically no fun, and signs read violators will be asked to leave. It seem to be a strict policy, which is odd considering this is an adult shop with an arcade. Actually, it seemed like they did have glory holes in the past and for some fiscally irresponsible reason they covered them up. Its a shame when adult shops can't be adult shops, its like taking a great porn muting it, censoring the nudity, and not showing the money shot. Honestly, the shop would do better using the space for something other than an arcade, maybe fantasy and fetish adult costumes or something, because the arcade is a big dud. But all is not lost there are plenty of other adult bookstores in IL that have open glory holes and are great for gay cruising such as Ram, Bare Assets, Star ship Video, and of course Steamworks to name few, just sucks to not be able to have one nearby.

Think of this as Your friendly neighborhood adult Store. Galaxy stocks a wide variety of sexual…read morefantasy enhancers. Why it's special effects for sex. The Store has been recently upgraded with new fixtures and displays creating a welcoming, brightly lit environment to explore everything from a mink little nothing to a kink item that's really something. Frankly I love all the toys, helps to keep me on the young side of old age. Speaking of which you will not find a bunch of dirty old men here. The other day though a bunch of hot strippers came in to buy various stage props. Very friendly and even funny. You could bring your mom here and not die of embarrassment because it really is a friendly place with good prices considering the items being sold. Guys, bring your girlfriend or boyfriend. Girls, ditto the boys. I think the Galaxy Wouid be a great birthday or anniversary spot for young lovers or even over the hill lovers. Before the invention of the Plandemic The Galaxy was open until 2am. Currently, in order to save hundreds of lives a day, Galaxy closes at 7pm. As if the Galaxy is ground zero for this overhyped, politically motivated flu. Anyway Your government is micromanaging the Store hours of an adult book Store just because they can, therefore Store hours are totally fluxed up. So phone check with your friendly Galaxy counterman to get the latest COVID-19 Emergency Life Saving hours of operation. It's progressive people's holiday shopping time...so have a merry quarantine and a happy COVID-19 while shopping for that special battery powered gift device.

Anyway, the offerings range from very innocent to kinda naughty, but mostly it's very sweet and pretty stuff without being lacy and ridiculous. Wide range of prices too - panties are $5 up to the $40s. Very chilled out place, and not very busy so you can take your time. I'll check back often.

For the Intimates on 900 N Michigan, as soon as you step in they force you into a system that you…read morecan't get out of. The salespeople are nice, but more concerned about making a sale rather than getting a bra you feel comfortable with. The fitting sessions last about 20 minutes and since they don't use measuring tape, it's up to the associate to guess your size and bring you some bras she feels are right for you. Whatever size the associate feels is for you, you have to stick with it. My associate brought me back a bra that was so tight that I felt my top was going to separate from my bottom. The associate insisted "that was how the bras were supposed to feel" and "that I would have to get used to it." I played along with the whole "wow, what an amazing bra" thing until I could get outta there. Bras start at $80 and they don't have any plain bras (all colors or lace).

I returned today after significant weight loss, excited to update my measurements and find new bras. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. When I arrived, I waited about 7 minutes while the owner remained on the phone without acknowledgment or even a brief apology for the delay & that set the tone. When I shared my budget, I was told--rather abruptly--that there were no options available and that they don't provide measurements. The tone felt dismissive, and the information didn't align with my past experiences, as I've previously purchased items within that same price range. More than anything, it was the lack of basic courtesy that stood out. A simple "thank you for waiting" would have gone a long way. I value businesses that respect my time, my presence, and my dollar. Unfortunately, this experience missed the mark, and I won't be returning ever !!!

I was surprised by how much time they were willing to spend with me and how many things they allowed me to try on, and I was finally able to find bras that are comfortable and supportive. My size does not exist in department stores or on Amazon, and I was completely at a loss as to where to find bras, then someone from a local chain store referred me to Central Foundations. If you are like me, and you spent most of your life firmly believing that bras are torture devices invented by Satan himself, then come here. Let them fit you. I promise it's not as awkward as you think it's going to be. They're super sweet and professional. Communicate about what you like and don't like about each one, and I guarantee you that they will find something that works for you. Bras don't have to be painful. In fact, because of Central Foundations, I was able to find a garment that has helped to relieve some of my chronic pain by redistributing some of the weight that was crushing my rib cage.

I have PCOS and it affects my weight(185#) and weird hair growth. I have anxiety which has caused other problems. I NEVER thought I could do something like this. Just talking to the lady to schedule the appointment was terrifying but she made me feel comfortable. Trying to walk into the building the day of the appointment was a whole other challenge. I talked myself into it and made it in through the door. I was greeted by the most kind women that assured me it would be a great expierience. One thing that helped was to know that they all had to expierience this when getting hired. They all know the feelings I was feeling that day. My make up was beautiful. I'd wear make up all the time if I could make it look like that! Then came time to take "it" all off somehow I did that, too! Once they started taking pictures it was so easy! She told me where to go, how to pose, where to put my had/arm etc etc. I couldn't believe how comfortable I was wearing nearly nothing! I ended up purchasing all of the photos at the end on a drive. Was it expensive...well yeah. They work hard! Was it worth it...100%. My husband's reaction was priceless. 1st thing he said was that he's always seen these on facebook but never thought I would do that. For his 30th birthday I had surprised him with a trip to his first michigan game and bought him an authentic jersey. I wore that jersey for part of the photo shoot. I also took a few other photos in a bralette and panties. My advise...if you ever thought this would be neat but not sure if you could then just do it!!
