DO NOT GO HERE! I was in the Oxford Street Ann Summers in February. While in the store and getting…read moreassistance from a lady in there, I got my phone robbed out of my pocket. The staff told me that they observed this on the cctv but would not let me view it. They told me not to call the police because this happened often in their store. I did anyway. However they delayed giving the cctv footage to the police and by the time they got back to the police the footage had been deleted. The phone at the time had all my travel details on the phone and this created a lot of hassle to my holiday and ruined it. I contacted the head office and they were no help and wouldn't look into in. They do not care about there customers whatsoever! Very bad experience!

Finally an adult store that as a woman I felt comfortable going into. It is set up like any other…read morehigh street shop with helpful sales people and a comfortable environment, only they sell things for adults only. There is nothing hardcore or over the top raunchy in here. This place is for people just getting into sex toys or women who like a touch of class with their "B.O.Bs". It is a cross between a porn shop and Victoria Secrets. It sells clothes, toys, books, movies, and anything else you might need for a night of passion. It has special seasonal costumes for dressing up as a naughty Mrs. Clause or nurse, or whatever gets you going. This is a great place to go to load up on stag and hen night booty.

This large New Look store located on the second concourse of the Peacocks shopping centre, near the…read morebuilding's main entrance is deceptive in its appearance. Having moved from its smaller location in Wolsey Place several years ago, the shop's front takes up a reasonable amount of space with window displays. It is only once you go inside the brightly lit store that you end up fully appreciating just how large the store actually is. The location was originally intended to house Woking's only Tesco Metro but the project was eventually cancelled, which leaves New Look with a wealth of room in which to display their array of clothes, accessories and shoes. The store itself is brightly lit and inviting, although often very busy with school children and with music sometimes uncomfortably loud. The prices of clothes are very reasonable, and the quality is better than you might expect. The store also operates a loyalty card scheme, and offers a discount to students. The staff are often youthful, pleasant and genuinely interested in fashion and the products that they are selling.

Even though it was freezing cold outside, I was too excited about exploring what bizarre new treats…read morewere on offer at Sh this visit to accept the offer of a cup of tea or coffee from the sales assistant who lept up to greet me on arrival. Some people might need a warm beverage to relax them when confronted with the plethora of pleasure giving devices presented in this sexy grotto, I am not one of them, although I have to say, what a lovely touch. What I love about Sh is that they cater for girls and understand that most of us don't want to be confronted by a huge, black wobbly dildo when entering a store. Not to say that you cant buy one, or one covered in spikes or made out of glass or attached to a harness here (you get the picture) but they are tastefully presented and surrounded by feathers, bell adorned nipple tassles and rhinestone handcuffs amongst other wonderful inventions. The staff are pleasant, very knowledgeable and discreet, my first visit to the store was to buy a vibrator and the sales assistant recommended several, based on personal experience and sent me away very happy indeed with a waterproof 'Jessica' (£22). The variety of toys for men and women here rivals any similar store that I have visited and they also have a good selection of lubricants, literature and underwear.

Before.... By oh my how those times will change. Everything about the place is welcoming, from the softer pink decor, to the hands on staff, to the eclectic mix of products from natural cotton tampons (which I've new looking for everywhere), to every kind of spanking toy. There is also a fantastic colllection of erotic fiction and fantasy books. I rarely give 5 stars. This places deserves it, as i'm pretty sure, without expecting to, I will become a dedicated customer and I dont care who knows it... (except for maybe my mom, don't tell her). Shhhh!!! if you will. All the pieces are made locally in a workshop in East London and a lot of them are original designs, which is uber cool. You're getting local Sex Toys. I think that's amazing. eco friendly, local produce, amazing. It is girls only, but boys can go and look on Tuesdays from 6-8pm or with a lady friend.

I was too timid on my last trip and after just browsing came away emptyhanded. This time I spoke up and they were really helpful: I bought a couple of nice pieces. I like vinyl/PVC and while this is mostly latex, they have some vinyl. Selection of styles and sizes is of course more varied on their website, but trying stuff on is the point. Clothing downstairs (a bit packed in) with the occasional wig/accessory. Toys, etc. upstairs; didn't go upstairs on this trip so I can't comment on the stock. Several dressing rooms. They stock some fetish magazines (Skin Two, etc.) and you can pick up a free guide to local fetish/burlesque events. Open late; you must be buzzed in.

If…read moreyou're new to the whole idea, perhaps it would be a good idea to choose from notebooks, ice trays, toys or lingerie for the Mrs, come birthday time. Just don't make the mistake of thinking that their 'Rampant Rabbit' product line has anything to do with cute bunnies! I have never bought anything from Ann Summers myself, but my girlfriend has the following to add: Ann Summers is a shop every girl longs to enter, though sometimes they don't have the courage to do it. But, with a little push from a friend or two it can be good, clean fun. Once you enter the store everything is quite naughty, but nice. Every product you buy special consideration, taking into account what your other half would appreciate. Ann Summers can be a couple's best friend because if you need something to spice up your relationship this is where you will find it.

I don't really have the look of someone who would shop at VS and to be fair, I'm not - I go for one kind of rather plain knickers. So no one ever asks me if I need help, even if I'm a bit frazzled trying to find what I want, or digging through drawers to no avail. However, the quality is great, and when you do talk to staff, they're nice, so I'll keep coming back for sure!

So top marks all around for the things that matter most - bargain prices, kind people and a full inventory!
