News September 2023: Largest selection of dildos The Daily Star reported on a crime story and noted that the Manchester Clone Zone has the UK's largest selection of dildos.
Review from ETO's Mystery
Shopper, October 2019: Impressive range Well placed to serve the LGBT community. An impressive range of products.
Review from Eve, April 2010: Expensive This shop is really the
pits. They were selling underpants for £45 and they were just plain and nothing special, The R18 titles were very expensive at £39.95 and the toy selection hadn't been dusted in years. I asked a member of staff for help choosing my
toy for the weekend who just snarled at me from behind the counter and said I wouldn't know what a women would want! (baring in mind they are trying to sale lesbian mags and books!). My friends popped around the corner to another store and got a
couple of DVDs for £10 each. |

News October 2022: New fetish shop A new fetish shop is set to open in Manchester city centre. Kink Bunker is expected to open next year in the basement of 48 Princess Street, a Grade II listed apartment building on the edge of
the Gay Village. The basement was previously occupied by a construction company, but planning permission has now been granted for the unit to become a shop. Kye Etherton, who is behind the plans, says he also wants to create a social community space
in the basement, which was once home to a gay nightclub. |

From bodyconfidential.com , Dec 2008: The owner explains how her intention was to create a sophisticated environment where men and women could shop for
erotic products. The focus is on high quality, elegance and of course, fun. The vibrator selection is excellent and really shows how the design and innovation of these products has er, ‘come on' in recent years. There are of course the obligatory
rabbit vibrators, but as well as these there are Rock Chick and Mantric vibes designed by women and the more high end LELO products, which are rechargeable, popular and really very cute. They look like very ergonomic mobile phones. As well as the
vibrators, there is a super selection of strap-on harnesses and dildos, spanking paraphernalia, oils, gels and beautiful glassware. |

items'.
The strictly over-18s store also sells pornographic DVDs, sex toys and sexual aids, but owners say these would not be placed in the window. |
