Good Vibrations Brookline

Had a great experience yesterday at this store. It was my first time coming to an adult store and the store manager and the other associate was so nice and welcoming. I was the only person in the store at the time and I had a really great experience being able to ask all of my questions. Will be coming back soon for more products. Thanks again for all of the book recommendations!

I have tried a couple of times to visit Good Vibrations in Brookline and both times they had these signs up!!! After driving in traffic to come to this is more than upsetting. Get it together! I will not try a 3rd time.

9/29/20 update: The worker's demands have been met and the employees are back under better conditions! I'm excited to come back. Original: Every experience I've had here has been amazing. The staff are so kind. The problem is that the CEO refuses to listen to them and left them in unsafe working conditions during the pandemic. I cannot in good conscience shop here again while the entirety of the staff is on strike, except for the manager who has chosen not to. I was happy to have a store where I felt safe and accepted as a trans person, but it turns out that was because of the staff, not the company. Support the workers and do not shop here until demands are met.

I used to love shopping here, as the staff have been invariably well informed and welcoming. Unfortunately, its unlikely I will ever shop there again given the company's treatment of employees in recent months, as well as its response to their unionization attempts. The abysmal state of HR and safety practices on a corporate level is unacceptable from a company that bills itself as progressive. How a company can do so much education about disease risk mitigation only to act like this is beyond me. I stand with SECSE, and will not be returning until their demands are met.

Great experience as soon as I walked in I was asked if I needed any help. They let you browse comfortably and encourage you to turn on the display products. I brought a product back because I thought it was defective. They took the time to show me how to turn it on properly. They also used gloves keeping everything sanitary.

I arrived at this location with my partner to make a purchase, and most of the time we were there, we were being stared at and followed around by an employee. When we entered the store, she was remarking to a coworker about her serotonin, and when we started browsing she stood behind us, glaring. I kept looking behind and seeing her staring at us in the corner of my eye, at which point my partner and I hastily decided on which product we wanted and hurried out the door. This experience made both of us extremely uncomfortable and I feel a need to let other people know that this happened to us at this store for their own potential safety.

Huge selection, quite clearly queer- and trans-friendly, sociable and helpful staff... A sex toy shop you can feel great about supporting. Feminist-run, workshops offered, emphasis on education and safety... if you’ve always wanted to visit this kind of shop but always been too nervous to actually do it, Good Vibrations should be your first time. No judgement, no stress.

With such a welcoming environment and being heavily involved in community education, Good Vibrations is the best adult toy shop one could hope for. Especially female and queer friendly. All the employees I've encountered have been pleasant, helpful, and knowledgable. They have a great point rewards system, too!

I’d had good experiences here with the staff helping me, but can’t shop there knowing how management has treated its employees through COVID and before. They’re asking for simple safety measures and HR support and management has ignored them and called the police when they’ve gone on strike peacefully outside. Until I hear of change, Hubba Hubba will be my new go-to the people there are great! but hope to be able to support the educators I talked to at Good Vibes in the future if things change.

Things can be pretty pricey here, but overall there is a good selection and you can probably find what you are looking for. Store is divided into two rooms and the staff is extremely friendly and knowledge and inclusive of all sexualities and preferences. It's a great place to be/shop at without feeling judged or looked down on.
