The Store
Rotherham is our flagship store, and the biggest store in the Pulse and Cocktails chain and in Europe (second in size only to Hustler in California); this is where the revolution of the adult shop began for us, and the store even made the BBC news upon its opening, however, that is the history of the store, now we are in the future, Rotherham store retains the classic ‘Pulse’ and ‘Cocktails’ layout, and this is something that we are very proud of, both sections have recently been renovated to give this a more up-market and classy feeling, like all our shops, we aim to provide a completely unique, and very relaxed shopping experience, something we know you receive from the Rotherham shop, ‘Cocktails’ is our lingerie, and naughty novelty section, the store has changing rooms to try lingerie before you, the changing rooms also recently been re-vamped look like something out of a French upmarket boudoir, and the decor is set to match even complete with a cascading waterfall to the left of the entrance as you go through the door... Going through to ‘Pulse’ this is where the erotic adventures really begin, this is home to our mass of erotic toys, sex toys for couples, toys for men, toys for women, literally toys for every sort of fetish or fantasy we endeavour to cater for all. Then we have the DVD collection, this is a large collection of in stock that cater for all tastes and fetishes.
Pulse and Cocktails aim to remove the stigma attributed to sex shops, and we lead by example from the flagship store, not been in before, come in and try out some more.
What our customers said
George:
I have been a loyal customer for many years, unlike other ‘sex shops’ Pulse and Cocktails doesn’t seem as seedy or sleazy as many of the other shops that I have been in. I have an interest in DVD’s and they have always had an easy to access DVD collection, the titles are all ordered in category with wall signs, so it is pretty much like just going down to blockbusters and choosing a film. There are numerous deals running constantly, for example buy 7 DVD’s for £100, they are all on signs throughout the section and if there is any confusion, the staff will be more than happy to explain more, and if you are missing out on a deal, they will tell you about it, which is an added bonus for me.
When I walked into the store as normal I was greeted by very friendly staff, and they are all very professional, and always ready to help you and provide service with a smile. This time I went into the shop I noticed that there had been a big change around, the shop has been re-vamped and looks even nicer than it did before, it is all very clearly laid out with products on show so you know exactly what you are going to buy before you get it, and if you need any help at all the staff are always more than willing to demonstrate the products to you.
The DVD section is in the part of the store called ‘Pulse’ this is the area is where the DVD’s and all the products aimed more at fetish are located, this would be expected in a normal shop to be the ‘weird’ bit, but this was very tasteful (well as much as can be) and the staff in here are just as helpful and willing to explain everything you need to know.
When you buy more than 3 DVD’s you become part of their loyalty club and you are able to exchange the DVDs which is explained to you when you buy the DVDs. On my last visit to store Vanessa one of the staff told me about the newest offer they have where you buy DVDs and get a hardcore magazine included for the price. I bought 16 DVDs for £200 and then received 16 Magazines also, which for me was cracking value for money.
When you are looking around the DVD section, most types of fetish, or sexual interest is catered for, from Asian porn, the British amateurs to foot fetishes they have it all and much more in between. In the corner of the shop they have a TV screen playing a DVD on which allows you to watch bits of a DVD which is subtly placed so not to offend anyone who may not like it.
What I have found when going into this shop is the Pulse section is very discrete, it is through the back of the shop, and people have to want to go in there to actually see some of the more extreme products on sale. I think that this is a nice touch to a classy store because people who are new to this kinda thing may not want to, or be ready to face some of the things that are on sale. I think overall the experience of using Pulse and cocktails is something that makes me want to keep coming back, I feel very welcomed by all the staff, and it has everything I could possibly want and a whole lot more too!
Pat and Rich:
My husband and I are both in our mid-40s and we are no stranger to Pulse and Cocktails, or sex toys. We have been in many times and tried all variations of toys, different styles of toys and for different fetishes and different sensations. Whenever we walk in we are always greeted with a friendly welcome and a smile which really puts you at ease, the staff all wear the same uniform which looks very professional and gives this the feel of a more up-class establishment than some of the other adult stores you can buy from. This last time was no different; we were greeted with the same friendly welcome, and walked as normal straight to the Pulse section, with the large collection of toys.
After browsing the different ranges of toys, and thinking to myself do I really need another rabbit, or vibrating butt plug? Wanting something a little different we went up to the desk to ask if there was anything new in-store that was a little bit different. After talking through a few products, the lady told us about this thing called Electra-Stim, which is a new kit that you can buy which generates a shocking sensation, when it comes to sex, we are an up for anything kind of couple and have tried most things including some of the more extreme toys that you will see. Originally, I thought it would be a feeling of pain you experienced, but I was pleasantly surprised when she said that it was like a tingling sensation it gave you. Seeing we looked very sceptical, she offered to give us a demo of the product so we could feel for ourselves. When she got out the demo kit, the control pad looked no different to any of the controls for other toys that we have used in the past which didn’t make it seem like some form of painful device, when she turned it on she got my husband to try it first, he described the feeling as being like you had pins and needles in your hand, and she demonstrated some of the different intensities and modes that the device has.
When it was my turn to try it I did still feel like this may hurt a little, but just as she said it was like a tingling sensation. I thought that this felt brilliant; it was not like anything I had ever felt before. We bought the basic kit to start, because this comes with stimulation pads that can be put anywhere and the stimulation can be felt together, but also this gives the opportunity to buy some of the other add-ons to the pack such as the various different rings or probes, or butt plugs, even to the electro pin-wheels which are aimed more at the people who like S&M, combining pain and the sensation of the shock. This product alone is definitely something that I would recommend people to buy, and we cannot wait to move up to the more advanced levels of sensation.
Purchases aside, I just want to talk about the shop itself, coming from the local area I drive past this shop all the time, and we come in all the time too, so are no strangers to it. It is always a friendly and professional environment, there is a nice little water feature inside the shop which sounds very relaxing, more like walking into a spa than a sex shop. The last time we went in we noticed how this had been recently renovated and re-organised, it looks spectacular, everything is very ordered and clearly marked on signs where everything is, and all the offers that are on are clearly shown, so all the information you need is there, if you ever want or need to know anymore in our experience the staff are all knowledgeable and willing to help you with whatever you need.
