The Smitten Kitten

The Smitten Kitten is a trans-owned adult shop in Minneapolis’ Uptown area, known for sex-positive service, LGBTQ+ resources and a strong focus on safer, body-friendly products.

The shop carries sex toys, lubricants, harnesses, packers, BDSM gear, books, gifts and cards, with products for a wide range of bodies, genders and experience levels. It’s particularly useful for trans customers, with dedicated products and affirming resources rather than treating them as an afterthought.

Staff are known for being knowledgeable without being pushy, which makes this a good option if you’re new to sex shops or want help choosing something specific. The space also feels more like a specialist boutique than a traditional adult store, with educational material and local community information available in-store.
