An article in the Daily News talks about how the Park Slope branch of Toys in Babeland will cater to the neighborhood’s demographic, which apparently includes a lot of moms with babies. The Bergen Street sex-toy shop, which is opening tomorrow, will have a changing table in the bathroom, and its owner intends to run workshops for new moms. In addition, the store won’t display erotic toys in its window. The article’s writer found a couple people who said they’re opposed to Babeland opening in the Slope (“I don’t think it’s a good idea. There are so many kids in the neighborhood,” said one), but Babeland’s owner says she’s mostly gotten positive feedback about the biz. And the owner of maternity shop Bump, also on Bergen Street, says her store isn’t necessarily so different from Babeland. “We’re in the maternity business, so we’re in the business of sex, too,” she said. “One leads to the other.”
