BOLD HUMANS

THE HUMANS

Bold Humans was born in 2019 when Dré (they/them) looked around for a gender-inclusive, queer-focused adult store and decided to build one instead. They officially launched on February 1st, 2020, and spent two years growing it into exactly the kind of store they'd been looking for.

In 2022, Dré handed the reins to Bo (they/them), a queer and non-monogamous enby with a deep passion for body-safe toys, sexual health education, and gear for all genders and bodies. Bo had been learning the ropes behind the scenes, and Dré felt confident they were leaving Bold Humans in the right hands. Bo brought new energy and ideas to the store, and kept showing up as a vocal activist for non-monogamy and LGBTQI+ rights along the way.

In 2026, Norah (she/her), a polyamorous trans woman, joins as the new owner, bringing Bold Humans into the same family as GenderGender, the gender-affirming shop for trans and non-binary people. Bo stays on the team, and together we're continuing what Dré started: a store where no one has to compromise on body safety, inclusivity, or ethics.

 

VALUES
  1. Vegan: The choice to go vegan was only obvious out of respect for our environment and any living creature in it. Animal-friendly alternatives have been provided for products traditionally made of leather and health care products such as lubricants and condoms so you can enjoy some cruelty-free love.
  2. Genderinclusive: A person is not defined by their genitals. Therefore there's no such thing as a "vibrator for women" or "cock ring for men". Unfortunately not every brand has discovered the wonderful world beyond the binary. If a sex toy claims to be for women or men, this can be very hurtful towards trans and non-binary people and can cause feelings of genderdysphoria. If a brand makes that kind of claim on their packaging, a trigger warning will be shown in the product description on Bold Humans.
  3. Body safe: Contrary to what you might expect, not every sex toy is safe to our health. There are still a lot of sex toys made using toxic and porous materials such as jelly rubber which is an inexpensive material that contains phthalates, a chemical that can affect the balance of hormones, can harm reproductive function and is linked to breast cancer and asthma. When choosing products for Bold Humans, I always take your health into account. Every sex toy listed here is made out of a bodysafe material such as silicone, glass or stainless steel, except for a couple of products that are not meant for internal usage. These products include cock rings, packers, strokers and masturbators. These products are usually made with a TPR blend because they need to be flexible.
