A small premises with a dark façade, possibly designed to offer maximum privacy to those going in there. There is no window display but signage over the doorway advertises that the shop sells “DVDs, toys, hen and stag party packs and lingerie”.

Getting inside requires that you press a special buzzer before being admitted. The interior is small and dark and, apart from one limited display of sex toys and party packs, the vast bulk of the shelving is occupied by DVDs.

The films that make up most of the shop’s stock are clearly of a graphic nature, complete with explicit pictures on the front

The DVDs cost between €30 and €60 and all appeared to be for sale, with no indication that they could be rented out. Nor was there any sign of the “lingerie” that was advertised for sale outside the shop, although it may have been available on request.

From the shop:

Amy’s Attic offers a wide range of BDSM & fetish products, clothing in PVC, latex & leather. We are constantly adding new lines of Equipment, furniture & toys. Extensive range of hoods & masks, electro sex kits & toys, body bags, cock rings, tit clamps, whips and restraints. We have 100's of excellent products to add so please visit regularly.

It has a fair selection but the dvds are outnumbered by the videos. Prices are 30 quid for vids and 35 for dvds. They have an exchange service.

Also a small selection of magazines (about £4.99) and Taschen books. Smallish selection of toys offered.

Friendly atmosphere not at all sleazy or pushy.

From Russell:

It is a great shop. the staff are friendly. Because it is upstairs in a normal book shop going in and out is discreet. All in all I recommend it to any one. It is well lit and bright not dark or sleazy in the slightest.

Northern Ireland's first licensed sex shop

  Review Aug 2007: Lingerie, toys, magazines & DVDs

There are various lines in lingerie, PVC and rubber outfits and a range of novelty adult gifts which would be popular for hen and stag nights. As you move further into the shop the shelves stock multiple condoms and lubricants as well as sex toys.

Right at the back are the magazines and DVDs.

  News June 2007: Northern Ireland's First

Northern Ireland's first legally operated sex shop has opened on the outskirts of Belfast.

Newtownabbey Council has granted a licence for the business, which is based in a Central Park industrial estate in Mallusk.

Owner David Christie said: There were some councillors who had issue with the application. But I must applaud the council for making what is a brave decision, given all the hype and attention that has been focused around licence applications that have been made in the country.

From the shop, February 2006:

We have been her 5 years in March, and became a licensed sex shop in July 2005.

We have very friendly female staff able to give good advice on all adult toys. We also sell Lingerie and Uniforms.
We have very wide range of DVD's and Videos from popular Suppliers, and are very very reasonably priced and offer great 'Offers for DVD/Videos' Example:
3 DVD's £60or 6 for £100 or £24.99 for 1. Videos are £14.99 each and 3 for £40.00 or 10 for £100.00 - All DVD's/Videos R18's.

Tickled Pink has a lovely atmosphere and very helpful Staff as many people we have found are 'wary' of coming into a 'sex shop' especially first timers.

Thanks to Nick

Shop environment and stock range not quite as good as Playmates but worth a visit – prices however are also £35 for a DVD so the same comments apply.

Thanks to Nick

Well lit & tidy if a little worn looking.  Not too many films in stock and only 1 or 2 of each film – the shelves looked rather bare!  Films from major labels (Private etc) and some stuff I hadn’t seen before.  Price £30 - £35 per DVD – less if more bought

Thanks to Nick:

Well lit, tidy ‘high quality’ shop.  Good range of DVDs and other stuff – very good for DVDs in fact except for the prices which are very steep compared to London - £35 for DVD, £30 for video.  Perhaps others negotiate but I decided to get the same DVDs next time I am in London for £20 each....

From Michael, Jan 2006:

Excellent shop, no R18s, much more of a couple friendly shop. All staff are knowledgeable about their range of toys etc, and if you have any fetish needs they can help out there too.

From Paul:

Good range of toys, gear and lubs for both male and females + jokey novelty stuff. Staff seem sort of young and could be off putting if looking for serious stuff. Worth a visit though, but it is near the centre of Norwich near a busy street, so not for the shy. Didn't see any  R18 videos or DVD's. Bit of an Ann Summers sort of shop and not at all seedy. Worth a visit if in Norwich.

From a reader

It is unlike many sex shop , no dark seedy rooms for this place. Big Bright Space in the now trendiest part of the city centre .

Stocking over 400 Different DVD’s and videos, and also a massive plasma screen showing the latest releases. Hundreds of Vibrators, Dongs, and Lubricants, the staff tell me that they carry over 2000 different lines of stock.

A must see for anyone, who thinks they know their sex shops.

From the shop

We now stock a range of nearly 800 R18 DVD titles (far more than anyone else in the city) and we constantly update our range. Almost every day new titles are coming in.

On the sex toys side of things, we have a huge range of vibrators, stimulators, dongs bondage toys, anal toys, novelties, dolls…etc, etc! We also stock some sexy clothing and lots of lubes.

We have deliberately set out to be the complete opposite of the traditional, seedy sex shop. We’re located in the trendy part of the city centre shopping area and we operate a very large, well laid-out shop with friendly, helpful staff in a bright, inviting atmosphere.

From International Displays

A new look Private shop has recently opened in Nottingham. It was fitted by International Displays and shows a great leap forward in retail displays for the Private group. The store has been open for a number of months now and has been very well received by customers and employees alike. I'm sure your readers would be very interested in visiting this store to see what it has to offer.
