Review from Kris C.
Alright, so I had an inprontu trip to the midwest and decided to stop in for some unmentionables.
Seriously, this place really is as good as it gets. If you are ever in town, swing by. The staff approaches your questions in a professional way and it makes for a very enjoyable experience. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. Best part, you get a piece of chocolate with your purchase. Hey, why not :) -

My friend and I went in to this shop today looking for a specific item. The staff was prompt to assist us, very professional, and extremely helpful. Informative brochures are placed throughout the store for those too shy to ask question. The staff are not only knowledgable but also very eager to educate you. This place is a must!

I'm happy to keep up the reviews of 5 stars...this place was my Madison version of Tool Shed...but maybe...dare I say...even better? Woman's Touch offers more classes than Tool Shed and keeps me updated with constant emails, which I really appreciate. I am a big fan of toys that get purchased from these types of stores! I don't think I've ever been so casual to discuss my sex life with a stranger and it is for a good reason because they know just the thing to recommend!

All the reviews are true. Even if you are the type to feel uneasy in a sex shop, you will feel at ease here. The staff is fabulous.

Relaxed, classy, and not at all what someone would expect from an adult toy store. The staff is extremely friendly, and knowledgeable about sexual health. They have a wide variety of merchandise, all at very fair prices. I believe the owners breed Newfoundlands, so imagine my delight when a big furry dog came out to give me some love while I was shopping.
Definitely go here for all your sex-shop needs. 5/5 -

No matter what your purchase may be, the owners and staff at A Woman's Touch make you feel completely comfortable. They're very helpful and kindly assist you in finding what you might be looking for, be it a gift or a personal purchase.

Sophisticated sex. Relaxing.
I did not feel as though I was walking into a dirty adult toy store. I am not a prude by any means, but shopping for sex toys is not always the most, ha, well, anxiety free experience for me. I was completely at ease. They have everything you could want here and more. From books, to toys, clothing, jewlery, and more.The staff was very helpful. I was there with a friend and there were a couple other people there as well looking for things in particular to do "this and that".
Forget spending money on the typical girl shoes and clothing items. I could easily burn a hole in my wallet visiting this place. Thank goodness, for my bank account's sake, I do not reside in Madison. -

Not raunchy, just what you need. Never gone in for a "toy" of sorts but I've looked and the place has high quality products (at a price) and is not uncomfortable to walk through. Very nice and friendly staff.

Where you could take grandma to buy nipple clamps -- it's that warm and friendly. Stocks everything from exotic chocolates to colorful Mary Green lingerie to hard-to-find lubricants to a menagerie of vibrators, butt plugs, the aforementioned nipple clamps, etc. etc.
Knowledgeable and helpful staff are happy to answer questions and just generally make you feel you good about buying a $64 Pyrex dildo. -

This store is the reason that no one should be afraid to go to a porn store! It's the least sleazy 'adult' store on the planet (next to Good Vibrations in San Francisco). The staff is so warm, friendly and helpful. You don't have to worry about asking them questions, so please ask if you need to!
They have almost everything you could ever want from an adult store. They even have massage oils, candles, jewelry, etc. My favorite part is their wall of vibrators. Each vibrator has a description of the intensity and who it's appropriate for (for instance, "The Rabbit" might not be the best for a beginner, and it says so). It's such a great way for a novice to buy a vibrator, particularly if they're too shy to ask for advice.
They offer classes (like ones on how to tie up your partner), which I hear are great. -

I love this store!
The majority of the products have a display model so you can try it before you buy it. And prices are reasonable.
The staff are friendly and not at all creepy, and they know their merchandise. -

The purpose and ambiance of this store is summed up by the dish of dark chocolate bars that you are encouraged to take from when you check out- the staff is incredibly nice and helpful and everything is arranged in a pleasant, non-intimidating way.
Despite the unique touchy-feely atmosphere, they have everything you could want for your sexual needs, from research to foreplay to sex and everything in between. This is a great place to go with your partner because it's very friendly to both sexes. -

I've had nothing but the best customer service and advice here. The store is run by an older queer female couple, and they are extremely helpful, in a non-judgmental (obviously), non-heterosexist, nor presumptive way.
The selection of vibrators here is really good (cheap to expensive, simple to highly complicated/advanced), and they are also fully stocked with all other kinds of sex toys (for men, women, couples, and others), sex lit and videos, lube, safe-sex gear (and info) and even lingerie. I like that they have vegan options for the lube and ones that don't test on animals as well. Great sex shop. -

I never realized how amazing A Woman's Touch is until I couldn't go to it anymore. There is nowhere else that can possibly compare. I live in Chicago now, and there are stores that say they opened just to cater to women, and that they're conscientious of women's bodies and interests and stuff. But they're not, at least compared to AWT. There are very few stores in general where I'll sit down on the floor and read a book, nevermind stores that also sell vibrators, butt plugs, and those glass things you put on your nipples to make them puff out or something.
I've pretty much decided that I've given up on other stores. Now it's all about mail order from A Woman's Touch. -

Everyone on yelp knows it, this place is great. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. And although it may be weird at first, talking to them about your sex life becomes easy and natural. Thanks!

I actually first set foot into A Woman's Touch on a field trip for Human Sexuality 160. I swear I heard harps and angels singing as soon as we all piled into the store. It was just so beautiful. The sky opened and light poured in and blinded me. Well, okay you get the picture.
Not only is it tasteful, but the staff and website provides great information put out in a very no nonsense, you are not the only one, really you are not alone kind of way. A Women's Touch does not only stock quality products but it really strives to educate its customers as well. Their selection is very wide from vibrators to videos to games, books and countless other little pleasures I have yet to discover. I can't say that I have many products from here, (okay well, I don't have any because I am not just about to buy a vibrator with my classmates and Professor) but I can tell you that the next time the long distance boyfriend is in town, one of the spots we're going to hit will not just be the G-spot--he will definitely benefit from A Women's Touch. Right, I can't tell if that was just cheesy or punny. Someone must have gotten a chuckle out of that one, if not just me. Well, don't let that deter you from feeling out A Women's Touch. :D -

It makes me beyond happy that they are conscientious of the way a woman's body is presented, which is why they take all of the vibrators out of the box and screen their video selection. The staff will make you feel right at ease and answer any questions that you may have... and if you're still shy they have an amazingly helpful well-organized website. I have a friend who hosts those naughty parties, and I always decline because if I have any needs they are met 100% by A Woman's Touch.

Seriously, every woman in Madison should go here. The staff is sweet and you can find pretty much anything you're looking for. I always feel very safe when I go here, which is a big plus.

The first time I went here, I saw a couple in their 50s shopping for a strap-on, yet it wasn't awkward at all. This is the best store for all your sexual needs. They even have a display of all the condoms they carry, and a chart of different lubes and what they're good for. Classy all the way.
