Melbourne, Australia, In the heart of Melbourne’s vibrant laneways, High Tide is making waves as the city’s most refreshing take on the modern adult store - one that celebrates intimacy, curiosity, and connection without the awkwardness, stigma, or overwhelm.
Founded by Paige and Søren, High Tide was born from a simple but radical idea: shopping for sex toys should feel as warm, human, and pleasurable as the experiences they inspire. The couple’s vision took shape after a disappointing visit to a traditional adult store left them feeling disconnected. The products were impersonal, the space lacked soul, and the experience felt entirely at odds with the true nature of sex - tactile, warm, and deeply human.
“We wanted to create a space where people could explore without pressure, shop without shame, and feel supported every step of the way,” says Paige. “Sexual wellness deserves the same care and intention as any other part of life.”
From its calm, minimalist store at 5 Rankins Lane, Naarm, High Tide offers a hand-picked selection of body-safe, non-toxic sex toys and intimacy tools made from trusted materials such as medical-grade silicone, stainless steel, and borosilicate glass. Every product is chosen with intention, ensuring customers only encounter items designed for pleasure, safety, and longevity.
What sets High Tide apart:
Gender-Inclusive Pleasure Toys and tools for vulvas, penises, and everything in between, with a focus on pleasure, not assumptions.
Expert Guidance Without Overwhelm A free online quiz and in-store support help customers find the right product for their needs, curiosity, and comfort level.
A Space to Explore Calm, discreet, and unhurried, the store invites people to browse and connect without pressure.
Ethically Curated Only stocking body-safe, non-toxic materials for peace of mind and enhanced intimacy.
“We’re here to make space for discovery,” adds Søren. “Every interaction is considered, and every product is there for a reason. We want people to leave feeling confident, informed, and inspired.”
High Tide’s physical store is open daily from 10am to 6pm, welcoming walk-ins and offering a space where intimacy feels good, exploration feels safe, and pleasure is celebrated as an essential part of life.
