    Advantages Advantages Range of stock, Staff

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Price

    "Tacky", "Degrading to women", "Only for young slappers" and "Degrading to marriage". All words I have heard people utter about the most successful British High street sex shop, Ann Summers. I saw my first Ann Summers shop in Bristol during 1999. The windows were blacked out so I couldn't see what was inside and a large poster filled the doorway, reading in bold letters "Strictly for over 18's". I was under 18 at the time, but the thought that there was something so secret in that shop that I wasn't allowed admittance was too much for me, and curiosity got the better of me, as it usually did ... more

    Advantages Advantages All your sexual needs under one roof, friendly staff

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit expensive

    If you are easily offended by anything of a sexual nature please do not read. I can remember going to my first Ann summers party when I was 18. A friend of mine was getting married and she decided to throw a party as her hen night. In them days I was a bit dubious about sex in public. I wouldn't say I was prudish but I just found it very uncomfortable to talk about sex with other people. As the years went on I became more and more relaxed with my sexuality and began to experiment with sex toys. It wasn't very easy to get your hands on these toys then. The main places were usually sleazy sex ... more

    Advantages Advantages all types of sexual preferences catered for under one roof

    Disadvantages Disadvantages you have to go to the counter with your purchase

    If you are offended by anything sexual, please look away now! Ok, so I was sitting on chat and someone reminded me of an old review which they had decided I might be quite innocent because of. The Ciao member will read this and no doubt be interested in my opinion of this brilliant none sleaze sex shop! Although my home town does not have an Ann Summers store, the city in Cumbria, Carlisle does. I have also been in a few over England including Blackpool and have found them all to be the same in size and stock, with some having a little more room to display items. Typically you move from t ... more

    Advantages Advantages Reasonable prices for quality items.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Still holds a certain tacky factor for me

    Ann Summers has always treaded a fine line between tacky and tasteful, in my view it veered towards the tacky side when stores started popping up on the high street. Before the stores hit the big time the Ann Summers parties were all the rage, admittedly I have never attended one of these parties. In my view the whole party business didn't do Ann Summers any favours in terms of reaching out to women who wanted to feel special in the lingerie they wore or, indeed, classy. All this said the last few years I have noticed a vast improvement in the marketing strategies of the company and a more ... more

    Advantages Advantages Lots of things to giggle at

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Overpriced, poor quality

    I still remember the days when Ann Summer was still your average sex shop, covered up windows and a big NO UNDER 18’S on the door. This was quite a bit before the infamous parties and the glossy catalogues, now Ann Summers has gone all legit and High Street! Its bright pink and burgundy frontage, the sheer glamour of the outfits in the window make it stand out like a jewel amongst the dull facades of its neighbours. But you still see couples nervously wandering slowly past, peering through the open door, deciding whether to ask the other is they want to go in ‘just for a giggle and a look of ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great fun and time with your friends

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No male parties allowed

    Thought this might be a fun one to write about. It’s my new venture as I’ve just become a party organiser. That basically means that I get to go to loads of girly parties and show them all sorts of fantastic stuff that men only wish they could get their girlfriends to play with!!! Who are these sex crazed people? So, what’s this all about I hear you cry? Aren’t Ann Summers those seedy, tacky people that sell awful sex toys that we all pretend we’re not all intrigued by? The answer is that you could describe them like that, or you could describe them as one of the top 250 UK companies with a ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be a bit pricey, sizing can be a bit strange!

    Ann Summers are an online and highstreet store which sell a large range of lingerie, uniforms, dvd's & books, lotions, sex toys and more! ***MORE ABOUT WHAT THEY SELL*** * Sex Toys - This can range from girly vibrators & dildos, toys for couples and toys for him.

    Taking a break from my mad shagfest of condom testing -the things I do for you lot eh? I thought I'd take a look at the bastion of respectability in sex shops Ann Summers. Unlike other sex shops Ann Summers is set up for woman to visit and if you were to casually mention you'd visited a sex shop your mates ears would prick up but if you were to mention you'd been to Ann Summers they'd probably tell you they'd been last week! Should you not wish to take part in one of the many Ann Summers parties that take place on a regular basis in even the most respectable of homes in the land then you have ... more

    Advantages Advantages A great laugh

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not for the easily embarrassed or offended

    Last week I attended my first ever Ann Summers party. I don’t know how I’ve managed to reach the age of 38 without going to one before, and I certainly won’t wait another 38 years before going to one again. It was hilarious, sexy, exciting, life-enhancing and absolutely filthy! Background ++++++++++ The Ann Summers phenomenon is headed by Jacqueline Gold. From working in her father’s business as a wages clerk, she moved up the ranks of the company and then became Chief Executive, transforming the company into a huge concern selling lingerie and sex toys to women the ... more

    Advantages Advantages beneficial to sex life and a brilliant laugh for both guests and organisers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none whatsoever

    So many opinions have been written from a buyers point of view that i decided to tell you what its like as an organiser for ann summers and hopefully enlighten you to the fun you could be having! About two months ago my friend joined Ann summers as a party organiser and she asked me to go to her first party with her as she was a little nervous I agreed and it was one of the best nights I’ve had in ages!!!! So I decided to join myself and as i am a sales rep anyway, this seemed like the natural way to earn extra cash. I haven't stopped laughing since i started its one of the funnest part ... more
