Pop-In@Nordstrom’s Self-Love Shop
Nordstrom’s latest pop-up shop is encouraging self-discovery and self-pleasure. Just in time for stricter stay-at-home orders in various parts of Canada, it features a selection of items—think intimate toys, mood-enhancers, pretty little lingerie and cozy loungewear in inclusive sizing and sustainable fabrics—that’ll help bring some joy to these repetitive-feeling pandemic days.
The shop, which launches on January 15 and goes until March 14, is in select Nordstrom stores (accessibility based on each city’s Covid-19 rules) and online at Nordstrom.ca.
We got an early peek at the collection and picked seven of the best items to scoop up:
A Hands-Free Vibe
This waterproof silicone vibrator offers clitoral stimulation, no hands needed. Nestle it in the vulva, and its “wings” will tuck under the labia to keep it in place, helping you get to where you want to go on your own or with a partner.

Layer Up
A go-to cozy layer has to be our most popular item (aside from sweatpants) while working (read: doing everything) at home. This number from Lunya will not only keep you warm, but also is chic enough to slip on for an impromptu Zoom call.

Vulva Balm
Made by Canadian brand Buff Experts, this salve is gentle enough to treat and calm the delicate skin in that region.

Gentle Ponies
While most of us are relying on some iteration of the top knot as our hairstyle du jour, the elastics we use could be detrimental to our locks. This silk version from Lunya promises to be more gentle and prevent hair breakage.
