Shops Selling Sex Toys in Seoul

Yeungdeungpo

1. Go to Yeungdeungpo Market subway station (Line #5)
2. Take exit #2 and walk straight until you see a very large intersection.
3. On your right, there is a building with the sign "Miisester" on the second floor.

This shop is the biggest in Seoul, and has general things like lube, body paint and condoms. They also stock other things such as vibrators, anal beads, cock rings, games, some videos and small toys.?All of the leather clothes and toys are really poorly made and are not recommended.

Ewha

1. Go to Ewha Women's University subway station (Line #2).
2. Take exit #5 and walk straight, away from the university.
3. On the left, around 50m down the road, look up to the second floor a building with the sign "Misester". The sign is a little difficult to see.?

This shop is another branch of the sex shop above, and has a smaller range, including lube, condoms, body paint, vibrators and some videos.

Itaewon

1. Go to Itaewon subway station (Line 6).
2. Take exit #3 and walk straight.
3. Walk past the Starbucks coffee shop, and cross the first intersection.
4. Keep walking straight, past the antique shops and the Rocky Mountain Tavern.
5. At the Cheil Building and Presbyterian Church, cross straight. There is a small grocery store on the corner, and you will be across from the Itaewon Hotel.
6. The shop is the on the second floor, a few stores down from the corner. Walk up some stairs.

You can actually see into the window of this store from the road. Itsells vibrators, lube, videos, butt plugs and other toys of average quality.

If you are looking for things like cuffs or anything leather, than you best bet is to go to the punk shops in Itaewon.There are afew stores along the main road, opposite McDonalds at the other end of Itaewon, that sell articles that might suit.



Bringing Sex Toys Into Korea

Basically the moral of the story is; if they don't have it here in Korea then expect it to be confiscated by customs if caught importing...unless they can't figure out what it is used for, then they will let you take it ;)

By Plane

For getting the toys in the country...here's what might make it look less suspicious. It's all possible - just be a bit clever¡¦

- take everything out of their packages and all price tags off
-divide toys among your luggage: put some in your carry-on, some in your checked bags
- if you don't have more than 4-5 items, it would be best to keep most of it in your carry-ons..that way, if they do get confiscated for 'security reasons', you'll be there to put up a fight and probably get the stuff back when you arrive in Seoul.
- try to 'hide' the items within your bags, or at least make it look you've tucked them away discreetly and for personal use.
- you might try putting some (again, no packaging or tags) in boxes and wrapping them as gifts, but they'll still be seen on the scanners...
- items that are used together should be packed apart, i.e. dildo and strap-on (pack the strap-on with your 'belts and clothing accessories', and tuck the dildo away somewhere in another bag).
- giggle, look cute and kinda embarrassed--but not worried or ashamed--as your carry-ons go through the luggage scanner and the security personnel get the inside scoop on your sex-life.
- more 'hardcore' items i.e. handcuffs, may be removed from your bags (either checked or carry-on) and packaged or flown separately in a 'security bag', but you should be able to get it back at Incheon.

By Post

- Do not have merchandise shipped directly to you from any store, unless they mark it as a gift and take it out of the original packaging!
- Do have friends/relative send them in small quantities marked as gifts
