Their shop is organized by collections, including: pleasure, gender-affirming, wellness and homogoods (merch and decor).

Check out these products: The Avant hand-crafted dildo collection ($20+) boasting a variation of silicone dildos; the Shot Pocket pleasure sleeve ($30) for FTM Trans people experiencing bottom growth; the Spareparts Joque Harness ($129) and the specially-curated zodiac collections (see Leo season here!).
