Latex Clothing Battles


We are now carrying a beautiful latex clothing line by Syren in our shop. Because we are all so new to the wonderful world of latex beyond safe-sex products, our polishing practices for our display pieces have been in dire need of immence improvement. After much trial and error, we have concluded the following process for streak-free, shiny latex:

1. Most latex pieces will come pre-powdered. The first step towards obtaining squeaky-clean latex is to wipe off as much of the power as possible using a soft, damp sponge. Please note latex scratches and tears easily, so you will not want to use anything with a rough consistency or sharp edges.

2. Using ArmorAll wipes (available at your local drug store), wipe down the pieces entirely to get rid of any excess powder. This will also give it a temporary streak-free shine.

3. Touch-up your latex every 8-10 days with a silicone lube or spray (Pjur or Black Beauty will do the trick). Dab a small amount of lube on a soft sponge or towel and wipe down the entire piece. This is not only necessary for maintaining shine, but is also required in order to avoid cracking.

SC Pride 2009


Pure Pleasure was offered a booth at Santa Cruz's Pride 2009, and we gladly set up a mini pleasure palace fully equipped with toys and prizes and others sexy items. While any booth displaying vibrators is almost guaranteed to be a hot spot to check out, I think the reason why we had so many visitors was our very own Miss April displaying her rainbow pasties...

Sex Shop Goes Green

Our beloved adult toy boutique, Pure Pleasure, is joining forces with other locally owned eco-friendly businesses by becoming the first Certified Green adult toy store in the Monterey Bay Area. After an eight-month application process with the Department of Public Works, we have finally been recognized for our environmentally contentious business practices.

The process of becoming a Certified Green Business includes carrying a selective range of products made of non-toxic materials, abiding by strict shipping and packaging standards, low usage of water, electricity and other power sources, as well as recycling and proper waste management. We offer an extensive line of rechargeable sex toys, and even a battery recycling program for those who own toys that require regular disposable batteries. We also created our own toy recycling program where dead or defective toys are being made into modern-day pieces of art. And to top it all off, the majority of our staff either walk, skateboard, or ride a bike to work.
