✨💦Introducing the Magic Wand WATERPROOF💦✨

That’s right. The iconic Magic Wand has gone waterproof. Not only that but this is now their strongest wand (we know, who thought it could get stronger?) coming in at 7000rpm! We’re pretty excited by this newest addition to the Magic Wand family😍

We love this sweet series of vibrant board books on first conversations for kiddos. Although there’s certainly things adults can learn from them too.

The topics include conversations on consent, grief, bodies, justice, love, race, and gender✨📚

✨The vulvaron can be placed at the end of a d!ldo or fit in a harness for added sensation for the wearer
✨Who doesn’t love a little alien fantasy indulgence?

Now carrying “Notes from a Q***r Cripple: How to Cultivate Q***r Disabled Joy (and Be Hot While Doing It!) by Andrew Gurza

“Andrew Gurza is seriously hot. He’s also seriously disabled. Having spent a lifetime navigating the bars, clubs and apps of the q***r scene, he’s learned a thing or two about sparking q***r crip joy amidst the hellscape of ableism, micro-aggressions and ‘pity s*x’

With advice on everything from s*xual autonomy and self-pleasure to date-prep and disability disclosure, this is both a self-care bible and an urgent call for the q***r community to do better.”

[image description: A hand holding a copy of “Notes from a Q***r Cripple” by Andrew Gurza in front of the Venus Envy storefront. The book cover is a bright pink to blue gradient. The title is a mix of white thin font with ‘Q***r Cripple’ written in a reflective bubble font.]
