Brittany Wilson, Sales and Marketing Director for The Dungeon Store was recently on Authentically Kinky Podcast to discuss her work in the kinky toy business, BDSM toy fundamentals and how The Dungeon Store is celebrating 25 years in business as a supplier of BDSM toys from mild to wild.
Authentically Kinky Podcast is hosted by Jon, A.K.A. HiThereCatsuit, an Emmy award winning broadcaster, who helps educate people on traditional and non-traditional relationships, and to tell the story on how people connect with their authentic selves.
The Dungeon Store is a woman-owned, intergenerational family business, priding themselves on 25 years selling their curated collection of fine BDSM gear with an eye towards community care and development. Many of the products offered by The Dungeon Store are hand crafted by fetish professionals across the United States.
HiThereCatsuit asked Wilson about toy bag essentials for those new to kink.
“For novice kinksters, the essential that should go into your toybag is a negotiation and consent checklist, and a pen,” Wilson began. “After that, whatever you feel comfortable using. If you feel comfortable wielding a paddle, then your favorite paddle. Then you find the one that feels the most comfortable in your hand, and you find the one that is most fluid with your arm in the backswing. The correct things in your toybag are the ones that feel most comfortable, confident, and competent using… I want to use toys that have multiple sensations, multiple options and flexibility.”
The subject of floggers came up, and Wilson noted the first flogger purchase is not the last. Instead, it's how the top gauges where they're going to move next as they buy toys.
“A nice, mid-tier, hundred dollars, plus or minus cow flogger is always a great place to start as you learn your swing, and it puts you in a great place to assess things that you're going to want to remember… just take mental notes as you use it. Remember ‘Oh I think it would feel more comfortable with a longer handle. If these were a little bit longer…' and just work from there.”
Coming into March, you can find The Dungeon Store team at the All Day Shop and Play at Baltimore Playhouse, Saturday, March 15. That same weekend, they'll be at Secret Sinsations in Pittsburg, PA. March 27-30, Wilson and her team will be at Studio 58's Naughty Gras hotel takeover in Gettysburg.
