Put a little sugar and spice into your Valentine’s Day with help from local Wilmington lingerie and sex shop managers willing to share some of their hottest tips, tricks and toys.

Sex depends on personality and comfort, so for those who are super comfortable and outward about their sexuality, the latest toys and gifts at Adam and Eve, located on Market Street, are a definite fit for you and your partner.  

“Flavored stuff is always fun, and the we vibe is a big seller,” said Denise Moon, manager of Adam and Eve. “We also have a line called dona, it’s like bath products and bath salts, and people seem to like those.”

Lingerie is also available at Adam and Eve. Women and men can find the perfect size with professionally trained employees.

“All of our employees are trained on how to size and style our customers,” said Moon.

Body type has a lot to do with lingerie, so look for what’s going to make you feel confident and sexy. According to Moon, corsets with a sweetheart neckline are ideal for busty women while anything with a formed cup is good for small-chested women. Costumes and boxed lingerie are also available and fitted for each person according to their weight.

“Baby dolls are good because they hang like a dress, but we have all sizes available to our customers,” said Moon.

There is a men’s section in the store as well.  “Lingerie” is also available for men like bamboo boxers, thongs, and jock straps in wild prints and colors.

“We get a lot of male dancers, so we sell men’s panties pretty often,” said Moon.

From sexy lingerie to pocket-sized sex position books to flavored lube and vibrators for two, Adam and Eve has this Valentine’s Day covered.

If an Adam and Eve visit is on your to-do list,  then you’ll also like Spyces in downtown Wilmington. Spyces offers various flavored and non-flavored lube, lingerie, lotions, vibrators, candles and more.

“We sell soy candles that melt down into massage oil,” said John Perkinson, owner of Spyces. “They give a nice aroma, and you get a massage.”

But if sex toys and corsets make you uncomfortable, or you’re just not in that stage of your relationship, Lilies and Lace on Eastwood Road is a good middle-ground.

Lilies and Lace offers their customers a comfortable environment  to shop for underwear and swimwear.

“Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be sexy,” said Stella Sardone, owner of Lilies and Lace. “It can be cute and comfortable.”

Lilies and Lace cares a lot about quality, choice of fabric and customer comfort. They offer pretty bra and panty sets, and cute Valentine’s Day mother/daughter pajama sets along with soft chemises and night gowns.

“College students often buy our Honeydew line,” said Sardone. “It’s pretty and affordable.”

As far as sizing goes at Lilies and Lace there are no limits on style- women can wear whatever they choose due to the large selection of sizes.

“It all starts with the proper fitting, almost all women come in wearing the wrong size, so once that is fixed they can wear anything,” said Sardone.

Valentine’s Day can put you in whatever mood you’d like, you just have to know where to shop and who to talk to. Mix and match, or stick to your ways, it’s your Valentine’s Day.
