    Kristie and I quickly bonded over the power of Yelp (that's how I found her store), so Kristie, here is your shout out!

    The moment I walked in it was like I had my own personal shopper. Kristie was very kind and patient. I loved the fact that she was so excited to show me her selection. Her enthusiasm made me more excited to be shopping there. She helped personalize my shopping experience to my exact taste and had some GREAT suggestions. I walked out of there excited for the naughty nights to come and my face plastered with a little secret smirk. The lingerie I bought made me feel like the sexiest woman on earth. I was so excited with my purchase I just wore it in my room for a few hours. It is the best confident booster. I also bought the candle massage oil, which I can't wait to use.    

    I loved my first experience here and will definitely be coming back, hopefully soon ;) Intima Girl: Classy owner. Classy place. Come check it out.

    For the truly classy Marina slut.

    Intima Girl is a shop that mostly sells the kind of stuff you wear if you want to be tickled by pink feathers and fed chocolates while you're lightly bound to your day bed with a satin sash.

    This is a fantasy that I do not relate to, but somewhere in the back of my twisted mind, I realize that a lot of women out there probably do. The friendly ladies working here fit the ambiance of the establishment perfectly, and are readily available to help you in your quest to spend all of your money so that you and hubby may act out scenes from your favorite Harlequin novel while the kids are away at school.

    The only item that I could not resist was a pair of panties with a "peek."

    Crotchless? Naw, fool.....Assless.

    Everything else?

    Five meters of "silken rope" for a pretty $100.

    Whatever happened to being tied up by whatever is handy, be it bungee cord or your man's tie?

    Lube for $40? Is getting screwed in the ass supposed to cost that much money?! In any case, I've always been a fan of the timeless combination of spit, KY, and blood. Whatever. I'm not Marina fresh.

    There wasn't much I could afford in this store, but that's not to say I didn't enjoy browsing it. I'd certainly be happy to own anything that somebody else purchased me from it. Much of the lingerie was in the $50-200 range, though, putting it out of my current budget. I laughed at the "If you have to ask, you can't afford me" sandals.

    However, there are $20 panties made of recycled materials that are supercute along with affordable knickknacks. I liked the stereo that hangs out near the shop playing downtempo music.

    Nothing new to say: Intima Girl is sensual, sexy, comfortable and fun.

    A great place to go for a boost....
    You'll walk out of here with more confidence,
    a naughty smirk
    and of course something to please yourself and/or your partner. :)

    This store is kind of like cross-trainer shoes: suffices for a variety of different reasons/needs, not excellent for any one area of specialty. For example, the lingerie is PG-13 sexy, but nowhere as fierce of design, selection or hotness of Agent Provocateur. The toy & novelty selection will do in a horny pinch, but can't hold a candle to Good Vibrations. It's a thoughtfully edited boutique of knickknacks and undergarments overall, yet there is an obvious lack of naughtiness that some of us girls crave.

    The feel is kind of like a small boudoir, living room-bedroom apt of a vanilla Marina girl (no offense, vanilla girls, but you know who you are). +1 star for being the only store out of 8 I called in SF who had penis cupcake molds in stock (well no more b/c I just bought the last one today).  Friendly service.

    When I feel blue, I turn to retail therapy...and the ultimate pick me up is to buy something pretty and lacy for myself.
    In the past, I've trekked down to Neiman's and Saks for such remedy...that is..until I found Intima Girl.

    This boudoir-esque  boutique is stocked full of super sexy and playful things... lingerie that range from sweet to dirty(but not trashy), lotions and potions, nighties and loungewear. I love the candles that burn into massage oil...brilliant!  

    Despite the awesome weather, today is one of those blue days...rather than sulking...I took matters into my own hands..I cruised down to see two of my favorite ladies...Kristie and Kiki.
    Kristie the owner of Intima Girl, is a sweetheart and oh her French Bulldog Kiki is the most adorable puppy! Of course is it's nearly impossible to walk out of this place empty handed...then again..it's much easier to justify splurging when I am supporting a local businss run by a rad chic like Kristie!

    If your mother were able to come to terms with the fact that you have sex-- a lot of sex-- then this is the store she would want for you!

    Intima Girl is what would happen if a Parisian stripper, a high class call girl, your best friend, and that enlightened mother of yours got together to open up an intimate boutique.

    I couldn't believe that I'd stumbled upon San Francisco's best kept secret the other day! I know I'm like Yelping about it and stuff, but Don't Tell Anyone About It, K? Because having more than a couple gals gingerly fondling the expensive French lingerie and covering their fingers with the warm oil pooling inside the throbbing member that is a sexy lit candle would totally spoil the mood.

    Intima Girl is a hidden boutique brothel upstairs in a little Victorian house on Fillmore Street. Take a mental break from the all-white Wild West of the Marina outside and journey back to the Moulin Rouge inside this cozy space.

    And don't be shy. Kristie will walk you through the adorable pink whip and several high-end ass-essory brands for whom she is the only United States rep.

    Overall, you'll feel like you've actually been let into your big sister's bedroom and she's telling you some big sister secrets about you-know-what. And because Kristie is so sweet and patient, it's totally like a family affair. But not in a kinky way, you know?

    "Eeek" is how I felt as I went dashing around the city trying to find the perfect thing for an evening in with my guy. I stumbled across Intima Girl quite by accident and found several nice pieces to try on and one of them was absolutely PERFECT! Kristie was very kind and helpful. She even gabbed away with me while I shopped; which I love! The atmosphere is very comfortable and though the store itself may be small she has a good selection. The items in here are definitely sexy and unique, not trashy.  She really knows how to pick out just the right things, everything is worth the price and she's got a big range (price wise), I know I felt like a model in my new lingerie.
    Thanks Kristie

    Ok, to be completely honest, I easily hate smaller stores especially for makeup and lingerie. The people HAVE to talk to me and i get intimidated and nervous. They're pushy or they're breathing down my neck, investigating my every move. I swear, I'm not some sort of insecure thief. I'm just strange and like to do things at my own pace.

    Either way, the person here was incredibly friendly. Didn't make me nervous or uncomfortable. It was like going through a friends closet, almost. You know, with pretty clothes and unworn panties.

    The selection was a little limited, but she told us it was because of bridal season, and she'd be getting plenty more in. Even when she was running low, there were plenty of things in every price range. Everything from white and frilly and lacy to dark and sexy, from strange to kinky to only slightly risque.  A lot of bridal lingerie and bachelorette novelties.

    I would definitely go back and bring some friends.

    I love pretty lingerie, I love showing it off (to one special someone, thank you), and I even love wearing it if I'm going to be alone all day and night. Intima Girl is very elegant and clean, girlie and, like the name suggests, intimate.

    I came here today on a search for black thigh highs, and was sadly disappointed to find one pair for $45 and in some obscenely large size. I get that Valentine's Day is coming up, but that is all the more reason to stock your boutique with those types of "necessities" in the couple weeks before such an occasion. Although I was disappointed today, I can see myself coming back here in the future because my eye spied some pretty gorgeous stuff (hope they have my size!)....

    Until next time....

    So, I wanted something cute but not slutty, sexy without being trashy. Oh, and not $300, please. And hey - can I expect good customer service and be able to park nearby? Apparently so.

    I never know what to expect when I walk into lingerie stores. Will it be classy? Or... somehow concerning? My friend and I agreed that this is by far the cutest, classiest, cleanest, probably best lingerie store we would ever expect to visit. Small, yes. But worth visiting? Definitely. The owner (forgive me, I forget her name) was exceptionally friendly, helping us sift through dozens of styles of lingerie with the sincere hope that we would find something suitable. I'm sure some of the pieces were $300... but the important thing is, not all of them were. Fantastic.

    Oh and when I mentioned my price range, she didn't suggest I leave. I always appreciate that, considering I have yet to win the lottery. Or, graduate from college. Thanks for the courtesy! I will return soon, I promise.

    Taking a walk in the neighborhood, we happened to spot the store from the street and headed up the stairs to explore it. It's a cozy place with a range of high quality items -- I especially loved a corset and an angora blanket. Very friendly clerk (who turned out to be the owner) was very helpful in finding gifts for two friends.

    The store also has a cute section of gifts perfect for a bridal shower and bachelorette party.

    Intima is totally unique. It's in a little gingerbread-covered Victorian on Fillmore, and when you get inside, it's like being in a beautiful little boudoir! Lingerie (way sexy stuff here!) is just the beginning, there are oils, books, candles, perfumes and the most gorgeous, high-quality sex toys you're likely to see!

    Also, Kristie, the owner, is a babe, not to mention a terrifically nice person.

    There's nothing like this store anywhere in California. The atmosphere is light and airy, and it's just a totally friendly, comfortable place.

    I went in here to buy my girlfriend a gift. What a lifesaver Kristie was; she helped pick out the best massage candles and a LITTLE SOMETHING extra for my girl. This shop is really nice and the staff is amazing.

    5 STARS FOR SURE!!!

    I planned a lingerie party with them that I went through a lot of trouble to put together, and on the night of the party, Kristie never showed up! All my guests were looking at me like what's going on? Where's the lingerie? I have a heart so I was a little nervous that something bad must have happened, but no one ever even called me to tell me what had happened; I haven't heard from the store since that night. And the only compensation Trish offered me was if I want to have a party in the store I'd get 20% off whatever I ordered (wow!). I had a bad feeling about working with them from the beginning, our communication throughout the entire process was terrible. They may have a cool little shop, and maybe if you're just picking up a novelty you'll be fine, but I won't be attempting to do business with them ever again!

    This is a great place.  I went in the day before my honeymoon after realizing I needed cute lingerie to bring with me.  I didn't have much time and I'm not the easiest person to fit or to please.  The owner was fantastic.   She made the experience so much fun and helped me find the cutest lingerie.  It has been a couple of years, but that stuff I bought there is still my favorite.  I think I need to stop in again sometime soon.

    I found out about Intima Girl through Yelp :) and i am so glad i did!! I had the best experience looking for a Halloween costume. Although there wasn't the largest selection of costumes, the ones there were all quality and super cute. The staff was amazingly helpful and not pushy at all. I will definitely be shopping here again in the future!

    This is a lovely little shop to make your own boudoir pop!  Intima Girl is all about seduction, romance and being at your sexiest best.  The mood is set the moment you walk into the boutique. Burning candles give an enticing scent tempting you to explore every inch of the store. The first room is decorated like a parlor where gift items, candles, lotions and tables of lingerie are displayed. Wander into the next room; you'll first notice a beautifully decorated bed draped with silk nighties and other pieces for highly romantic evenings.  Armoires are filled with the prettiest, most delicate lingerie. Each piece grows more and more irresistible, until finally - the perfect piece calls your name.  You splurge and go home to surprise your sweetie with a night you'll both remember!  This is a really fun shop that brings out the Victorian romance novelist in all of us...

    Just bought some lingerie for a bride at Intima Girl and had a wonderful experience.  Kristie was super helpful and sweet and I even managed to find something perfect for 40% off (never a bad thing to get a bargain!).  They have lots of different products and lingerie for all tastes - from raunchy to conservative and everything in between, and a wide range of price points.  It's a great place to go for a gift or to treat yourself!

    Adorable place - though it's small, I was impressed with the range of products - oils, herbal supplements, toys, games as well as lingerie (even some BDSM products).

    The owner was exceptionally considerate, friendly, and helpful. Though the products overall were a bit out of my price range, the owner was flexible in working with my budget and made some great suggestions that helped me expand my "lingerie boundaries".

    To further attest to the fantastic customer service: When I first arrived, she was at the bank so I waited a couple minutes until she returned. She was so apologetic for keeping me waiting that she gave me change to buy more time on my parking meter!

    Also, when I bought this adorable waist clincher, one of the inlaid wires snapped after I went home to try it on again. When I brought it back the other day, she was so apologetic, not only did she change to a new clincher, she also offered me a complementary matching bra or panty for the trouble of coming down again!

    I love this store!  It is all about sex and romance.  My last time in the store I bought the most amazing candle, as it burns hot aromatic oil is created.  The candle makes the room smell great and has a spout to drizzle the oil over your body.  It really is great!  The owner is the sweetest person and makes you feel so comfortable.  She has nothing but the classiest, top of the line items.  Her store is all about making you and your boudoir romantic and sexy.  I highly suggest doing some shopping here for a special occasion or just because.

    So I walk past this shop on my way to work every day, and I have always wanted to stop in, but it's never  open.  Then a few weeks ago I went in because it was finally open when I was passing by!! Everything looked so cute, and I was greeted by a very nice girl with beautiful blue eyes. Turns out that girl is the owner. Anyways... She had some beautiful garments for sale, but when I went to try them on, I noticed that some of the items had been previously worn.  The Frenchie was cute, but they better try to potty train her better, because she might deter some customers from the smell, and the few stains on the floor.  So, none of the things were priced, you have to ask for the price. I bought some cute panties, and then told my friend about the shop. She decided to check it out, and when she asked what the price of some items were, they were much different than the amounts the sales lady told me. I am not too sure why this is, it could have been a sale or something? But shouldn't you price things for your customers?

    I feel like this shop has so much potential but falls short because it is unprofessional. It was never open, and when it was, the smell wafting out would deter people from entering. None the less, I bought some panties. I don't know if I was scammed or not with the price of my panties, but idc, they are cute!

    Take it or leave it...?

    This shop is one of my favorite lingerie shops ever. It's boudoir themed and the selection is outstanding. The owner carries truly one of a kind items that you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. Everytime I come here I end up dropping cash even though I never plan to! For some reason being in the shop makes you feel like those little extra things are truly essential. It's very classy and the perfect place to buy gifts - I got my best friends bridal AND bachelorette gifts here. This store makes you feel good and the sales people are incredibly warm and friendly, and never try to over sell you.
