Grace Selena
Community Expert & Product Manager
Grace knows every sex toy and can always recommend a great one for your needs and wants.

If a toy melts her into a puddle of woozy-face emojis, you'll know. There's something for everyone in Toyland, and you deserve the best it has to offer.
Leja & Luka
Co-Founders
Leja is the Store & Operations Manager, while Luka handles the website and marketing direction—in other words, Leja is often busy fixing what Luka enthusiastically (but chaotically) "improves."
Leja and Luka are the co-founders of the store. Sexplorers. Naturally curious people who love good food, good drinks, and great adventures.
They've been involved in the adult toy industry, both as players (or sex toy users) and freelancers, for years and decided to fill a gap they felt was missing.
