Did you know that Downtown Blue Boutique is moving to a new location? We’ll miss our cute little pink building on North Temple, but we are so excited to announce that our new home will be another adorable pink building on 300 West and between 1000 and 1100 South!

Our adult room is going to be much larger in size, and we will have tons of room for lingerie, outerwear, and we’ll even soon have a piercer on-site! A larger location means we’ll have way more stuff, so whatever you need, you’ll be sure to find plenty of it and more. We will be conveniently located near many yummy restaurants, banks, coffee and other large shopping centers, so hopefully you’ll make Downtown Blue Boutique part of your usual shopping routine. And for those of you who find getting to Downtown difficult, we will now be much closer to public transit routes. You will be welcomed by the very same friendly, knowledgeable staff that currently makes Downtown Blue Boutique so special.

We can’t wait to move in to our new store, and we can’t wait to see you there! Until we go, please stop on by our North Temple location to say goodbye to the old store and help us go out with a bang!

If you live in Salt Lake City year-round, you had to have noticed how mild our winter was this year. Although many still debate the truths about climate change and global warming, this winter has proved enough to get Salt Lake citizens thinking about their carbon footprint. Luckily, you can feel good about shopping at Downtown Blue Boutique because we have many products that are environmentally friendly!

As far as adult toys go, we have a plethora of products that use alternative sources of energy. Check out the lines Fun Factory, We-vibe, and Lelo! They are all completley rechargeable so you never have to worry about carefully disposing the batteries you’re used to going through so quickly. If you’re looking for something even more environmentally friendly than that, look no further than the Solar Bullet! You can disconnect the bullet from the quickly-charging solar panel, so you don’t have to worry about someone stumbling upon it. The toy holds its charge for over an hour of use, and then you can simply just set it back out in the sun. This toy is absolutely perfect for our current weather, and now you, too, can consider yourself part of the green movement.

We also have all sorts of creams, gels, and sprays that are eco-friendly. Pjur’s Prolonging Spray uses all-natural ingredients to keep him firm and hard. Most prolonging products use numbing chemicals, but Pjur uses jojoba extracts instead. We also carry several lubricants that are glycerin and paraben free and 100% vegan! Check out Good Clean love, Intimate Organics, and Sliquid for an organic orgasmic experience.

Most importantly, when you shop at Downtown Blue Boutique, you are making a choice to support a local business who you can be sure does their part to make our amazing community an even better place for us all to live. Nothing’s sexier than sustainability!

At Downtown Blue Boutique, we aim to be inclusive of all persuasions and liaisons. We have something for absolutely everyone at our store, no matter where you fit into the rainbow. We offer a plethora of toys and other products to accommodate a wide range of desires.

We have an excellent selection of harnesses and strap-ons. We recommend Doc Johnson’s Vac-U-Lock brand. Unlike other harnesses, the Vac-U-Lock uses a suction system to ensure users more control, without the chance of the extension moving around or slipping. Each harness is compatible with a wide variety of any Vac-U-Lock dongs of various shapes, sizes, and colors. Vac-U-Lock can be used by absolutely anyone; we even have harnesses for men!

For women, we love the Tantus Feeldoe, the world’s first strapless strap on. No more waiting to strap, buckle, and adjust; with the Feeldoe, simply insert the bulb into the vagina. Raised nubs will provide clitoral stimulation for the wearer, so when she slips the dong into her partner, both will experience absolute ecstasy!

For men, we have tons of interesting anal stimulators. Our new Men’s Pleasure Wand stimulates the scrotum and perineum while massaging the prostate in order to achieve an orgasm like you’ve never experienced before. Lelo’s Billy is whisper-quiet and delivers a powerful vibration to stimulate the prostate.

Of course, our products for non-mainstream customers aren’t just to be found in the adult room. For our Transgender friends, we carry an amazing line of apparel called Transform. They offer bras and panties to accentuate and enhance a feminine appearance. We also have sexy shoes in many styles and sizes, and an array of beautiful wigs to make you feel and look your very best.

What all of us at Downtown Blue Boutique love most about our job is getting to know our beautifully diverse clientele. We all work hard to make every individual who enters feel welcome, comfortable, accepted, and most of all, SEXY! We hope to see ALL of you at Downtown Blue Boutique soon!!

Today, the mainstream world envisions SM practitioners as a bunch of kinky, freaky, sex-obsessed people. The concept brings to mind whips, chains, and strangeness. But few know the refined roots of sadomasochism, and the complex and ideological history surrounding S and M.

Sexuality theorists state that the seductiveness of SM is the idea that sexual pleasure occurs whenever someone experiences a high level of a sensation- whether it be “good” or “bad”.

For those who are curious about exploring SM, at Downtown Blue Boutique we have all sorts of things to get you started. Perhaps you’d like more background in the more modern history of these practices. We recommend Jay Wiseman’s book SM 101, or you could simply pick up an issue of Hustler’s Taboo magazine to gain some inspiration. Once you’re feeling a little more educated, you could try a Cat o’ Nine Tails, a leather flogger, or a riding crop. To increase the diversity of sensations attending you or your partner’s body, you could apply a clit clamp, or nipple clamps that vary in design and degrees of pressure. To further debilitate your partner, use our Japanese Silk Love Rope to tie them to a bedpost. Our Detachable Ball Gag System will turn them into a perfect slave, with different attachment muzzles which will turn them into human ashtrays, dildos, or even toilet scrubbers. Display your tyranny by putting them in our Leather Dog Mask, and leading them about on a leash. To truly get into your role as a cruel master or mistress, check out our collection of leather dresses, skirts, bras, panties, and spike shoes.

The most important part of SM play, of course, is consent. In the most famous masochistic book, the heroine makes the protagonist sign two contracts, guaranteeing his complete willingness to become her slave and participate in the cruelty she would inflict upon him. Always get your partner’s permission before enacting unusual practices, and don’t forget the safe word!
