Good Vibrations

These people have the stupidest return policy I’ve ever heard. I’ve honestly never heard of this return policy before. You can only exchange for the same product and only if it’s defective. 99.9% of places don’t have this return policy. Also the staff isn’t very helpful. I was left on my own to figure out which sex toy I wanted. They do not give me good vibes and should not be called good vibrations. I will never shop here again and I will tell everyone I know not to shop here either

First time here today. I was impressed! The place is very clean and has a very bright «fancy» atmosphere. They offer a lot of high end vibrators. Over all I loved the experience and bought quite a few things.

Wow! Cor! Good Vibrations has a store located in the high and main street shopping area? On Mission Street?! I have got to check this place out.
I heard through the grapevine and on many Unilocal!reviews that Good Vibrations had a makeover and they are offering a lot more than the toys. Wow, this one in particular is not like the GV’s I have visited back in the day. Cor! Their stores’ interiors appear to be inspired by Victoria’s Secret and Agent Provocateur. Lingerie?! Check. Les jouets et les poupées de sexe?! Mon dieu!
For raunchy lingerie, go here. For classy, VS. For over da top and sass, AP. And for wild, not that I would know, go to those adult stores like L.A.‘s Trashy Lingerie and those in the equivalent of a «red light district.» There is one in NYC that Gwyneth Paltrow was coming out of when she was snapped by the paparazzi and there is one in London Kate Moss was caught coming out of by the paps…I digress. .. Moving right along. .. .
I will concur with Liz S. about not being the type to share with others about what they did with their purchase at Good Vibrations. And as for Ann S.‘s review, I am just saying: TMI – WTMI!!! And what happened to the device the morning after – talk about bringing new meaning to the classic excuse: «My dog ate my homework.» Crikey! (Hope it was good for the dog too.)
Now this much I will share: I have visited the locations on Polk Street and Berkeley’s University Avenue back in the day when I would purchase tasteful yet somewhat practical shower prizes and gifts when various girlfriends were betrothed to be married. At one hen party/​bridal shower, I did get chided for mentioning the title to an Adam and the Ants tune, «Mile High Club» in the same room as The Mother of the Bride. I was talking about the song by one of The Bride’s favourite bands from the U.K. (And the irony was The MOB was a psychiatrist; she understood NEEDS – you know what I am saying?!) And her daughter was about to be legally and officially married after all. So what was the big deal?!
And it goes without saying that there were a few saucy and sexy gifts and goodies for the bride from Good Vibrations, and no – I was not responsible for those! And to this day, I do not take responsibility for any gift suggestions for the bride-​to-​be that were asked of me. .. . That’s my story and I am sticking to it.
Cheesy yet quite appropo:

Went in with my boyfriend and the place is very clean and very welcoming. It’s not like one of those run down, grimmy shops. Princess was the staff member that helped us and she was very knowledgeable and took her time explaining things. Will definitely be back!

My boyfriend can be a real asshole.
Yesterday, as we are entering AT and T Park I see his face light and yells out (like a little girl I might add) «LOOK! It’s Amy G!»
Ok, my little starstuck bitch boyfriend, number 1, that ho is married and number 2 I am thinking I see no need to buy us any toys or lubes for a while.
Selection selection and instruction, you get that all here in one stop shpping. Think Walgreens for the horny bunch.

Great place! Very nice vibe for a sex shop! The workers are extremely helpful and provide lots of feedback. They offer very great products and many varieties. They have lots of couple products!

Great selection and very knowledgeable staff!

love this place get all my toys here

This is one of those adult stores where u walk in and it’s not creepy nor gross at all. They have a huge variety of toys, books, and oils. They shopkeepers were helpful but not overly aggressive when it comes to selling items. Their goods are affordable and the Unilocal deal makes it even more reasonable. Plus free lube for checking in. I’ll definitely come back when I’m in the area.

I must admit… I’ve gone to a few sex shops in my life. Remember the very trashy ones where you walk out of the store with brown paper bags? Man, you don’t wanna be walking in and out of that kinda store during the day time with people would be giving you looks. Not at this store though. As one of the Fifth and Mission Garage shops, Good Vibrations is as classy as it can be for an adult sex shop, blending into the restaurants, shopping malls and movie theaters that surrounds it.
Let’s face it. Sex is a human necessity. One should feel comfortable walking into a shop that sell goods that enhances that bedroom activity without bystanders judging. Unlike the traditional cheesy adult stores that cover their windows with dark, attention grabbing colors, GV does a great job at making you feel comfortable walking in by decorating the shop with light, floral colors. I casually walked in in the middle of the day and nobody gave me any looks! Woohoo!
As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with their monthly ad postcards that tell you their specials. You can’t get discounts like this at your average adult store. (Note: you can sign up for their mailing list and they’ll email you their monthly special) Might I add that everything is well organized and the place is spotless from floor to ceiling. To your left are the many dildos and vibrators in all colors, cock rings, condoms and lubes. As you walk towards the back, you’ll find strap ons, prostate massagers, anal beads, beaded probes, suction cup plugs, sex books and even kinky feather whips. To the right of the cashier is the bondage section, where you’ll find an assortment of paddles, whips, restraints like hand cuffs, blindfolds, gags and nipple clamps. Hot damn, writing all this is getting me worked up.
Wow! That’s overwhelming, you might think. All I wanted was a paddle and they offered too many choices. How can I decide??? Well, have no fear. The employees are sex experts that can guide you through it! I was told that some, or if not all, the employees have degrees in human sexuality. They are all nice, useful and will make your shopping comfortable. Make sure you join their loyalty rewards program to save. Every dollar spent will accumulate points to give you discount on future purchases. Makes me feel like I’m signing into Five Stars at a boba place.
Bottom line, there isn’t a better place to go for your bedroom needs than Good Vibrations. It’s kinda discrete, clean, has good amount of selections and choices and great customer service. You won’t regret cumming, I mean coming.
Don’t forget to check in through Unilocal for free lube!

Everything I needed. Sex toys, massage oils, thigh high stockings, and designer brand lines.

This sex store is really clean and classy but the selection is really not that great. They only have a small selection of vibrators. The prices are reasonable, but I have been to better shops. The girl at the desk was really nice and gave me a bunch of stamps on my loyalty card so I will definitely be back.

Great selection, knowledgeable staff and very helpful! Didn’t find everything we were looking for, but we will come back again!

Wonderful customer service. I like that the ladies know their products ;) I do wish that they had a larger selection of stuff… Like maybe some lingerie? I felt a bit limited, but that was made up for by their customer service :)

Lovely place with very helpful staff. I really like the large selection of condoms and lube. Almost too much of a selection.
I like the kinky options. The inventory in this place is basically my bucket list of stuff to try in bed. Love that there are so many different types of handcuffs and restraints. I like that this is a women-​run store with sex toys and equipment that actually work.

LOVE THIS STORE! God bless San Francisco for its pro-​sex, pro-​woman community!
I’l keep this short. I misplaced my favorite sex toy, Jimmy Jane Form 2, for those who were wondering. I was devastated. My boyfriend saw my panic, and quickly looked up sex stores nearby.
Good Vibrations and super clean, pretty and brightly lit. You don’t feel weird or pervy shopping in this space. The staff that I met were awesome! They were all strong and opinionated ladies, who had no problem cheering me on when I expounded on the importance of sexual gratification.
If you check in on Unilocal — you get a free personal lubricant. You can also purchase a $ 10 for $ 20 deal.
Great brands — they stock the whole line of Jimmy Jane products and also — Lelo, We Vibe, and Minna.
They also offer men’s toys as well.
For all my Massachusetts peeps– Good Vibrations has a store in Brookline too!

Like all Good Vibrations — great!
1−800-Buy-VIBE — strangely I have never forgotten that number in 20 years.

I don’t know if there truly is an elegant way to address this type of human necessity, but for some odd reason, Good Vibrations knows how to pull it off to the umpteenth classy degree.
Let’s be real here. Penises are fugly. Vaginal labial folds can be even fuglier.
Despite this reality, when you walk into this shop, strewn across the shelves are water based lubricants, sex books, prostate massagers, harnesses and strap ons, and vibrators and dildos galore… All in your preferred color, shape, size, and texture, but of course.
This shop actually looks cute. Who woulda thunk?
When I walked in, the store was very clean and organized. VERY different from the sketchy, nasty, raunchy creep filled shops we’ve associated sex shops to. I know you guys know what I’m talking about. Straight up gross.
So anyway, here at Good Vibrations, I bought into a cute lipstick vibrator promoted by Kandi Burruss from Real Housewives of Atlanta. Lawdy knows I love my trashy reality shows. The vibrator was super cute and disguised itself as lipstick. Discreet, quiet, and USB charged.
Needless to say, after… ahem… *clears throat* … a session with my new purchase, to my dismay, I fell asleep and woke up to it chewed in pieces by my dog.
Oh hail naw! That was expensive!
Thank goodness for warranty.
Oh and I also should mention that Good Vibrations holds different types of classes for those who wish to learn more and enjoy with their partner. These instructors are actually certified and are educated in Human Anatomy and Sexuality. These people know how to dooooo the dewwwww.
Friendly, professional staff!
Keep it fun, kinky, clean, and safe!

So this Friday the 13^th was was Customer Appreciation Night. The staff was giving away free chocolate, sparkling water, and sparkling apple cider. Yum!
I normally frequent the location on Valencia, but I stopped by here on a whim after a vegan pizza party with my bestie. We were both feeling a bit down about our ex-​dudes, so this was the perfect place to cheer us up and provide a welcome distraction. Whether you are single or coupled up, there is bound to be something you’ll like (no pun intended).
There were a lot of sales going on this evening. I felt that I MUST buy something. I purchased an Easy Glider vibe for only $ 12 (plus 2 bucks, since batteries are not included). GV also carries a vast array of condoms and lube (many of them vegan). There’s literally something for everyone. My favorite amusing find of the night were dildos mimicking superheroes. The stand out: «The Incredible Hunk», a behemoth of a green rubber dong. This was both impressive and intimidating. Please Google this sex toy at your earliest convenience.
Some dude reading books in the porn section tried to talk to me and my friend. He listened to our jokey conversation about an adult movie with a puppy on the cover and my confusion about kink and tried to butt in. It was a little off-​putting. Chatting up girls at the sex shop seems a little strange and invasive. Maybe he should stick to picking up girls at bars.
Also, fun fact: there is a new vibrator (which is actually not a vibrator, but a pulsator) called the Stronic Eins. It rocks back and forth on its own, hands free. Long story short, it mimics a thrusting motion. This lovely, sleek toy is very pricey ($ 200!), but you don’t have to worry about it calling you in the morning. Ladies, add this one to your Christmas list. Maybe if you’ve been nice, Santa will leave one in your stocking.

Went to the Berkeley store first and staff kept saying they didn’t have what we were asking for and we needed to go to the San Francisco store. So we did. Wish I had known about the coupon first!
Anyway, Very well lit and clean store. Same friendly and professional staff ethics. Where you might feel nervous and self conscience about exploring at other stores, you can put that all away here. The staff will help you by answering questions in a very direct and clinical way. Nothing wrong with that. And if they don’t have the exact item you want, they may come up with suggestions as how to improvise!
Fun, safe place.
