In Store

We love our boutique. It’s cozy and quiet and just big enough to hold all our favourite sexuality and reproductive health goodies. We spend hours researching and sourcing the most environmentally-friendly and body-friendly products we can find – and we buy local wherever possible.

best sellers 

Some of our best sellers include Fertilitea (delicious organic herbal tea for naturally enhancing fertility), La Bassine birthing pool (recommended by midwives and created by a mother of four), Lelo Gigi (wonderful toy for G-spot and clitoral stimulation),We-Vibe (only vibrator that can be used internally and externally during intercourse.. a Canadian invention featured in the New York Times), Preseed “sperm-friendly” lubricant, and inexpensive ovulation and pregnancy test strips (cheaper without all the wasteful drugstore packaging).

Diva cup

 “When I went on a holiday to Costa Rica I ended up on a long string of transportation changes during which time I was unable to find a clean bathroom. If I’d been wearing tampons I would have been very concerned about toxic shock and general medical concerns with leaving a tampon in for over ten hours. Instead I could rest assured that my body was not being dried out or growing unhealthy bacteria, and I didn’t have to pack a box of pads or tampons in my knapsack!” - Kim

“I work in the field of body literacy and reproductive health. I have been using a menstrual cup for over ten years now and I love how attuned it makes me to my body. I can see exactly what the quality, content and colour of my menstrual blood is and how it has changed over the years in response to being on or off the pill, eating well or not, and other lifestyle factors.” – Amy

 

   
 

Chemistry (adult film)

“I have watched quite a bit of porn over the years (hey, it’s part of the job) and this one is my favourite by far. It is abundantly clear that there is no exploitation going on in the making of this video. The porn stars follow their own desires and sexual experimentation, providing lots of original ideas to lovers on new techniques they can bring into the bedroom and provide role models for healthy communication regarding desires, pleasure and fantasies.  All the stars are respectful of each other and delight in pleasing others and being pleased.” - Amy

Our Babies, Ourselves

“If parents are only going to read one book before their child is born, this should be it. This book did wonders for validating my ‘instinctual’ feelings as a mother, which unfortunately tend to be incongruent with many of our North American parenting norms. Without ever saying this is how you should or shouldn’t parent, this book provides scientific, cultural and anthropological evidence to validate our innate urge to be in constant contact with our babies for the first few months of life. A must-read for all parents-to-be.” - Amy

 The Red Tent

“It’s our namesake! We named our store after this book because it represents all of the key elements of what we are trying to achieve in our store – supporting women from puberty to menopause in all aspects of womanhood – menarche, pregnancy, child-rearing, menopause and the wise women years, as well as signifying a real and symbolic space in which women can grow through the sharing of stories, love and wisdom.” – Amy & Kim
