Brittany Wilson of The Dungeon Store Interviewed on ToyChats

Baltimore, MD — Brittany Wilson, Sales and Marketing Director of The Dungeon Store was interviewed recently by Ralph Greco of ToyChats. They discussed the history of the store, the nature of selling at shows, trends in the pleasure products business and the latest violet wand toy from The Dungeon Store, Badger Blades.

“Badger Blades are our take on a big conductive talon,” Wilson explained. “They’re designed to look like big, badass blades protruding from your knuckles. So, you’d line the “blade” part between your fingers, wrapping your fingers around the base for control. They’re very eye-catching.”

The Dungeon Store is a woman-owned, intergenerational family business, priding themselves on over two decades of curating collections of fine BDSM and fetish toys with an eye towards community care and development. They carry a wide variety of products, with a special emphasis on violet wands and other electro-fetish items. Many of the products offered by The Dungeon Store are hand crafted by fetish professionals across the United States.

“Every region is completely different and looks for different things,” noted Wilson when asked about selling at events across the U.S., such as TES Fest in New Jersey or Surrender in California. “This is especially influenced if someone in an area is an expert on something. So, like, in New England and the Bay Area, you have a lot of rope experts. So, those regions are exposed to Shibari more often and have a higher-than-average interest in rope.”

ToyChats Media Inc is an open, honest, and inclusive platform for sex toy reviews and conversation. ToyChats offers a safe, user-powered space where people can share real experiences, explore sexual wellness, and connect with a like-minded community.

The Dungeon Store is currently offering a clearance sale on Tens Unit accessories, and shoppers can find their latest additions at https://TheDungeonStore.com.

The Dungeon Store Debuts Badger Blades for Electro Play

 

Baltimore, MD — The Dungeon Store recently debuted Badger Blades, a new conductive pleasure product for electro play and sensual play.

Badger Blades are made to be gripped in the hand, while using a conductive body cable on a violet wand (not included). Three conductive polymer blades extend from the handle, giving the user the appearance of having long claws. While intimidating and impressive looking, the blades are not sharp. Sensations with a violet wand include concentration at the three ends, or spreading the arcs lengthwise across the extending material.

Badger Blades are also great for sensual play, giving an edgy feel without the danger of something sharp. In the bedroom or dungeon, Badger Blades pair well with a blindfold and rope bondage or a cuff set. They also come in a cloth pouch for easy carrying.

“Badger Blades are made here in house as one of many violet wand toys in our collection,” explained Anne Bryne, Founder and Co-owner of The Dungeon Store. “Customers also love them for wax play. After wax has been applied and cooled, Badger Blades can be used to safely remove the wax as part of the play. That can be done without the electrical play of a violet wand. But using a violet wand with the Badger Blades and our Blacklight Wax, you’ll get quite a light show at play parties.”

The Dungeon Store is a woman-owned, intergenerational family business, priding themselves on over two decades of curating collections of fine BDSM and fetish toys with an eye towards community care and development.

“Of course Badger Blades could be incorporated into some superhero cosplay,” added Brittany Wilson, Sales and Marketing Director for The Dungeon Store. “As they’re not sharp and not metal, they’re a little friendlier for security at fandom shows.”

Retailers can contact Brittany Wilson at sales@thedungeonstore.com for order information and details. Consumers can find Badger Blades at the booth of The Dungeon Store during parties and conventions for the sexually adventurous, or online, along with their curated collection of floggers, paddles, bondage rope and violet wand accessories at https://thedungeonstore.com/collections/e-stim/products/badger-blades-violet-wand.

The Dungeon Store Receives Two 2025 Xbiz and Two AVN Award Nominations

World Wide Web — It has been a great year for The Dungeon Store as the woman owned and operated shop for BDSM products received two nominations for the 2025 Xbiz Awards and two nominations for the 2025 AVN Awards.

The Dungeon Store carries a curated collection of BDSM products for new and advanced players. The business is known for their violet wand accessories, many made in house in the U.S.A. The Dungeon Store also carries impact play toys, restraints, and rope for shibari, mostly hand crafted by professionals in the BDSM community.

AVN nominated The Dungeon Store for Best Pleasure Product Manufacturer – Small, and for Best Fetish Manufacturer.

The Shelob violet wand accessory scored an Xbiz nomination for the Best Fetish Product. The Shelob is a violet wand flogger that plugs directly into a violet wand, can be used as a light flogger, for sensation play, or used by hand along with a conductive cable.

The Lightning Laces Conductive Corset picked up an Xbiz nomination for Best Specialty Product. Lightning Laces are a set of body bling, laced together with conductive ribbon like a corset on the skin. They can be used decoratively on the back, chest, or other areas of the body, and sets can be mixed together. The bling and ribbon are conductive and make an impressive light show when used along with a violet wand.

“We are immensely pleased and grateful to the AVN and Xbiz teams for nominating our products,” said Anne Bryne, Founder and Co-owner of The Dungeon Store. “Many of our violet wand accessories are made in house, including The Shelob. These products are spark gapped for safety. We also have a three year warranty on our violet wands. We’re very proud our work and commitment to safety in electroplay products is getting recognized.”

New items in The Dungeon Store catalog this year include occult books, chainmail toys, vegan rubber floggers, conductive paracord floggers, blacklight reactive lingerie, and colorful resin paddles.

“Many kind thanks to Xbiz and AVN for acknowledging our commitment to violet wand toys and BDSM gear in general,” said Brittany Wilson, Sales and Marketing Director for The Dungeon Store. “We’re wrapping up 2024 with a clearance on E-Stim adapters, cords and accessories, and with a new assortment of fetish gear on the web site. There, you can find many one of a kind toys crafted by our respected friends in the BDSM community.”

The Dungeon Store will be celebrating their continued success on December 31 with booths at the Phuck Off 2024, Happy 2025 Play Party at Baltimore Playhouse and the All That Glitters New Years Eve Event by Secret Sinsations in Pennsylvania.

Mistress Cyan’s Holiday Toy and Food Drive Party this Friday!

Los Angeles, CA – Friday, December 13th, 8:00 P.M., Mistress Cyan presents her annual Christmas “Slave Auction” toy and food drive for charity. The party will be at Sanctuary Studios, 13012 Athens Way, Los Angeles, 90061.

Cyan’s seductive celebration is a kinky take on the classic bachelor auction. Volunteers put themselves up for auction for the night. Those bringing in a new toy for children, canned food, or dry goods get play money to bid on the “slaves” for the evening. Winning bidders get to play with their human prizes for the night. Everything is negotiated, consensual and for fun.

These fundraisers have been Mistress Cyan’s ongoing tradition for over twenty years. Canned food and dry goods are encouraged. Blankets, gift cards and cash donations are also accepted. Donations go to The Metropolitan Community Church in North Hollywood, which then distributes the goods to shelters and the homeless for the holidays. Toys will be distributed to the local children’s hospital, fire stations, and charities such as The Laurel Foundation, as well as to others for those who may be homeless.

“This is all for a good cause and a lot of fun. We invite those in the adult industry to join us this year and contribute to those in need,” said Mistress Cyan. “I appreciate all the support that I have gotten with this over the years, please continue with that support and let’s make sure we help put some food on the table and toys under a tree of those who may not get it otherwise.”

Donations can also be made directly to The Metropolitan Community Church through https://mccuccinthevalley.com .

Admission for the party is $20 in advance, $30 at the door. Dress code for the night is fetish, leather, or classy casual. No cut offs or baseball caps please.

In addition, more occult books, oracle cards and tarot decks will be for sale on the site. Plus there are great deals on blacklight-reactive lingerie.
