Sex toys found at the dollar store
MELISSA HIEBERT STAFF
Though many couples are looking to spice it up in the bedroom, some can be too shy to venture into a sex store, or too embarrassed to be seen buying anything remotely smutty or phallic-shaped. Fortunately, with a little bit of ingenuity, many similar items can be found at your local dollar store (and for a fraction of the price). Here are some items that can add a bit of spice to any bedroom situation, whilst putting you out of risk of running into a teacher/co-worker/relative with a dildo in one hand and a pair of handcuffs in the other . . . (and whatever else you happen to be holding).
So as I entered the dollar store, with the staff completely oblivious to my vulgar intentions, the first thing I noticed hanging on the wall was a feather duster. Not only does a feather duster have a lot of potential as a prop to a sexy costume (think: French maid), but it also can be used to tickle and tease your partner in all kinds of arousing ways. The feather duster is especially effectual when paired with a blindfold (a simple scarf will do). Your partner won’t know what hit them.Moving into the children’s toy section, I found a multitude of other items that could be used for alternative purposes. Naturally, every dollar store toy section has at least one set of plastic handcuffs. (Of course, if you are going to be rough about it, plastic handcuffs might not cut it, but I figure if you were that hardcore in the first place, you wouldn’t be going to a dollar store to get your fun toys.) The handcuffs usually come with other things, such as toy guns, nightsticks, and other cop paraphernalia, which can all be used together to play some good cop/bad cop. Or, perhaps just bad cop. It’s more fun that way.
I also noticed a profusion of those Mardi Gras beads hanging in the grab-bag section I won’t get into the nasty details of how those can work, but I’m sure you can figure it out. Hint: it’s for the ladies.
The next aisle I came to was the pet accessory section. No, get your mind at least slightly out of the gutter; I am not going to suggest buying something to butter up Fido in hopes of getting him in the mood. However, the pet section does have a nice selection of collars and leashes. Again, this might be a little too much for someone who is already too shy to go to a real sex store, but if we can tell anything from porn, it’s always the shy ones that are the kinkiest.
In the arts and crafts section, I noticed a whole bunch of water-soluble paints. At first, there is seemingly nothing sexual about children’s school supplies, but there’s no better canvas than the human body. I don’t know what’s better — painting all over your partner’s naked body, or the steamy shower afterwards to wash it all off.
Of course, there are a number of other things that you can pick up at the dollar store. Chocolate syrup is usually found in the food section, and there are an abundance of candles and incense. Often, massage oils and cheap back massagers can be found as well. And thus concludes my guide of how to take an innocent corner dollar store where you used to buy candy and cheap toys, and turn it into a kinky store in which you can purchase all of your sexual playthings, and no one’s the wiser. Happy shopping.
