38 years in Amsterdam, 18 at this address

Mail & Female started in 1988 with a simple idea: a shop where pleasure is for everyone, without shame and without judgement. 38 years later we're still in Amsterdam, and we've been on Nieuwe Vijzelstraat for 18 of them. We were here before the North–South metro line existed. Now you step out of the metro almost at our door.

We choose everything in the shop ourselves, on quality and safety: from sex toys and lingerie to BDSM and lube. We also run workshops and events.
