After 10 years of buying lingerie there are still a few
things that we struggle with. Should we carry swimsuits or not? What about
Halloween costumes? By far the most talked about issue is where do we find a
good chemise with support. Customers ask for this constantly but when we buy a
chemise with a built in bra-like top, nobody wants it.
 Heading towards warm weather presents a panty challenge for women. From workouts to bike rides to everyday activities, g Boutique is always on the lookout for game-changing solutions. The newest addition to our panty repertoire are as practical
as they are sexy. Knock outs have a
patented technology in the liner. It’s an effective barrier between you and
your summer whites that absorbs unmentionables. It’s unique 100% cotton liner enables cotton fabric to wick moisture away
from the body, pulling it to the outer side of the liner, dispersing it, and not
allowing it to move back towards the body. They’re also wicked cute and comfy,
not bulky like you may be thinking.
 We have them in an array of spring colors and styles that will
keep you fresh all year long.
Stop by the store to try a pair.

Warm weather, pedicure dates & outside patio happy hours are all greeting you this Spring! Well, one other reminder it's a new season is that your mailbox is overflowing with wedding invitations! Some from your family members, one from your high school best friend and another from your boyfriend's brother's girlfriend (you honestly wouldn't be offended if you didn't get that invite).
Well, after all the congratulation phone calls and the celebratory drinks, you begin to feel an emotion other than happiness for the future bride. Stress! As you begin to remember that your only responsibility isn't just to find a chic dress, attend the wedding and dance the night away at the reception but you now have to go gift shopping as well. You have the wedding gift, the shower gift but you forgot all about the bachelorette gift! No worries, g boutique to the rescue! Ok, check out these 3 easy points that will have you kick your stress to the curb!
Bestie, Buddy or Associate- One key point that you need to consider before purchasing a Bachelorette gift is how well you know the bride? Once you think about your relationship with her it will give you a range of what's appropriate and what's not. If she's your best friend from 1st grade and you guys been through thousands of break ups, endless Saturday nights laughing on the couch and you were the first person she called when he proposed, the sky is the limit!. You know her inside and out so picking out a vibrating cock ring and some crotchless panties may be the perfect gift! On the other hand if you do not know the bride too well, I would go easy on personal or naughty gifts. The last thing you want to do is have her unwrap a pair of nipple clamps in front of her conservative mother-in-law to be and her younger cousin.
 All About Range- So. let's face it. Even though weddings are fun filled and love surrounds them, they become pricey! From the dresses to the traveling costs, the last thing you want to do is go into debt over a friend's wedding. So one piece of advice you should use is to set a price range and stick with it! I know as women we can get a little nosey and ask how much others paid for their gift but you can have a fab gift without breaking the bank. Set a range that is comfortable for you and your pockets. If your budget doesn't seem like its working, call a friend and go in together. Remember, it is really about the celebration not the gift. This way you can actually enjoy giving the gift and not grudgingly calculate in your mind how much you spent on her when you hand over your present.
It's All About "You Know Who"- Last but not least just remember it's all about the bride! Yes, it's her day so try to get as much info on her before you go shopping. From sizes to color choices, do a little research so you're not completely in the dark when it comes to her taste! Once you know what she prefers, ask one of the g girls for suggestions. We will help you purchase the best gift that she'll absolutely adore! --

Springtime! Backless, strapless, low cut, one shoulder...It is the season for fashion faux pas and we are on a mission to change that.
 You don't need movie star magic or expensive designer tricks, just some great little products created by Fashion Fairy Godmothers, Marni and Jane from Hollywood Fashion Secrets. For 10 years these ladies have conceived and designed magical solutions to help women feel confident and look fabulous regardless of the cut they are wearing.

At Sir Richard’s Condom Company, we believe the power of business can help bring health and pleasure to the global community.
How can you argue with that mission statement! We are all about safer sex. One of the easiest ways to promote safer sex is to use a condom! The problem is finding a condom that is well-made, comfortable and feels good when you use it. Well, we did it. Sir Richard’s has passed the g girl’s test and the entire line is now available at g boutique and at www.boutiqueg.com. Not only is this Colorado-based company dedicated to safer sex for you, but they want safer sex for everyone. For every condom you buy, they donate a condom to someone in a developing country.

That special guy asked you to dinner at your favorite restaurant for Saturday night. You search your wardrobe for the world’s greatest “little black dress.” Unfortunately the winter cozy wear has hidden those extra inches. What to do? A quick visit to G Boutique and the problem is solved. The g girls will show you Cosabella’s Never Say Never elegant sophisticated lace shapewear that is not only comfortable, but incredibly sexy. Designed to lay extremely flat and snug to the body these high-waisted thongs or bikinis are meant to be seen. A perfect fit for a romantic night out, so have a beautiful evening, a lovely dinner and maybe even an awesome dessert!
My son is 8 years old and in “crush”. “Maybe one day, when we’re really older, like 20 or something, we can kiss on the lips and get married,” he tells me. “But right now, what do I do?” He sadly laments the trials and tribulations of a second grader in love. Here I am, giving advise to grown ups all day without hesitation and when I listen to him, I am overcome with emotion and fear that I will not say the right thing.
Believe it or not, I have been practicing for this. I have a plan. Show him how to respect and honor women, teach him to admire the beauty of strength and intelligence, let him express his own feelings…. I’m afraid it doesn’t always go as planned. You see an 8 year old boy is 100% emotional truth. First love is fearless and deep and if she isn’t nice to him, it breaks my heart.
Should he talk to her, when should he talk to her? He knows he can’t touch her but he just wants to pat her on the shoulder and say “good job.” She agreed to play with him at recess, she told him to go away at gym. My heart is traveling with him on this emotional roller coaster.
After a week of advice, I have learned to be quiet and listen. This, I believe, is the best gift I can give my son. I believe it is the best gift you can give to any relationship. When you listen with your whole body, you encourage open, honest communication and growth. Hopefully, if I listen to him, he will find his own answers and follow his own path in life and love.

 Our first inkling that the Janine Robin t-shirt bra from their Paris collection was going to be special was when we didn’t know how to categorize it in our computer system. Do we list it under fashion bras or basic bras? It has all the top qualities of each. It’s perfectly smooth, an ideal t-shirt bra, yet has the illusion of lace. Janine Robin’s exclusive 3-D ink technology that prints a delicate, sexy lace pattern on each piece parallels any other of our high end fashion bras in glamour. We wanted to list it under “basic fashion” bra but such a category does not exist! I’m sure you’ll agree with us here at g that this toeing of the boundaries is a rare and exciting revolution in lingerie. Choose your flavor: pepper printed lace on salt or terracotta printed on cinnamon, or pick up both and be a feast! Each has a choice of shorty or thong panty with lace print for accompaniment. Swing into the shop today, take a peak under our Eiffel tower and say “bonjour!” to your new favorite bra!

Have you made big weekend plans? Dinner, theatre, dance, hotel room? Whatever it is, remember Valentine’s Day is Tuesday and your fantastic Saturday night is only the prelude. Tuesday is V day so let g boutique help you prepare something special to save for Tuesday.
 A Valentine’s Day fantasy: It’s Tuesday, Valentine’s Day. I left for work at 6AM. Now, many hours later, I am finally home. I open the door and see a wrapped gift waiting for me. “Open please,” reads the card. I open it to find a lovely silk robe, soft and cool on my tired skin. Another card reads, “Follow the flowers”. I look and see a path of petals leading to the bedroom. I undress and put on my robe. The path leads to the bathroom where candles are lit, cucumber water and a glass of champagne sit on the ledge and the bath is full. I disrobe and sink into the warm tub. After soaking for 30 minutes, there’s a knock on the door and another card comes sliding under the door. It simply reads, “massage”. Drying off, I open the door to find a warmly lit room, soft music, my favorite scent. I lay down on the bed and relax under the spell of a magic pair of hands and some warm oil. I relax into his hands and together we explore new heights of satisfaction. A light dinner follows our short nap. I am feeling soft and sexy dressed in my silk chemise and robe. We talk, we read to each other, we fall asleep in each others arms. A perfect night!
Sexual fantasies are healthy, occurring most often in people showing the fewest sexual problems and least sexual dissatisfaction. -Harold Leitenberg and Kris Henning, Copyright 1995 by the American Psychological Association, Inc.
So go ahead- dream up something special for Valentine’s Day. How about starting off with SportSheets Under The Bed Restraint System, for a bit of flair. Four neoprene straps that can be comfortably tucked away under your mattress when not in use. Slide them out and see how many different ways you can strap them on each other. After a little tickle temptation with our favorite whipper tickler, pick up a Jimmy Jane massage candle, light it and leave it to burn while you slip into your new favorite playtime lingerie. Give the candle a soft extinguishing blow and send the hot wax dripping down your bodies. Massage for good measure. Take turns…everyone needs just a touch of domination.
Elisa Purls loves the new We-Vibe and here is what she has to say about it. The third generation of the ultimate couple's sex toy has finally come out! If you are unfamiliar with the We-Vibe III, let me explain. Its design will stimulate both partners during sex to enhance the experience. The toy is crescent shaped, intended to wrap around a woman’s pelvic bone. The smaller end of the crescent inserts into the vagina resting right under the g-spot; while the larger end, which houses the control button, rests over the clitoris. The arm between these two ends is slender and flexible, allowing your partner to slide right in without being obstructed. Yes, this toy is used during sex! Once the We-Vibe is in place simply press the button on top to pick your preferred vibration setting- lighter, stronger or pulse; 7 options total.
So why is this great? First, the vibration from the We-Vibe III hits the two main pleasure centers of a female’s vagina, the clitoris and g-spot. Second, it offers more control than a cock ring and is completely hands free. Plus, it’s a great way to learn more about your g-spot. The clitoris is a no brainer in comparison to the mysterious hidden g-spot; by stimulating the clitoris and g-spot simultaneously many women start to discover what the g-spot has to offer and it can often lead to great blended orgasms.
But what about the guy? Well, he gets to experience you in a totally new way because he enjoys the vibration as well! Depending on how he maneuvers he can control direct stimulation to his head or shaft.
Now what’s super cool about the We-Vibe III is that this is the first version that comes with a remote control! It makes it way easier to change settings and a lot more fun to use during foreplay. The new version also comes with a case that doubles as the charger. Plug in the case, place the We-Vibe and remote in their spots, and like magic they charge through magnets! The We-Vibe and remote are completely waterproof with no openings on it whatsoever. Makes me wonder why cell phones aren’t the same…
- Used during sex for his and her pleasure - Offers direct stimulation to the clitoris and g-spot simultaneously - Waterproof - Rechargeable- no batteries ever! - Remote control - Has a case for easy storage and travel - Case doubles as charger
If you’ve never had a toy before, the We-Vibe III is a great one for you and your partner. Need a little more information on our favorite toy? Check out our informational video.
Tasty, Sweet, Simply Addictive... Do you know if I'm talking about sex or candy yet?? The truth is there is there is not much difference between the two treats and when they are combined they can leave you booming with a sweet tooth you can't wait to satisfy.
 As adults, we always have restrictions in our lives. From stopping from over indulging in a box of our fave gourmet chocolates to limiting ourselves to one candy bar a week, we always put stop signs to our daily pleasures. Even though limitations are needed in life sometimes being able to throw all inhibitoins out the door and indulge in the "sweetest" moments of life is just what we need. Being constantly on the go, overnight diets in our faces, and workout tapes swirling all around us, we try to hide our urges for a delicious bite of temptation. The fact is your inner desires are never going to go away so allow yourself to fall into temptation from time to time.
 With our candied nipple tassels & panties, flavored lubricants, and booty parlor skin honey, you can fuse one night full of guilt-free pleasure that will have you feeling no regret when you open your eyes in the morning. The only thing that you will feel apologetic for is that there were not enough hours in the night to try all your favorite flavors. But don't you worry, there is always tomorrow night! This Valentine's Day allow yourself to indulge in every sweet fantasy you have ever desired. No one will ever have to know!
Some people love surprises, some don’t. Some surprises live up to expectations, some don’t. Valentine’s Day has become a “holiday” with a lot of expectations. Once, my partner brought me marshmallows covered with coconut for Valentine’s Day and said, “I know you don’t like chocolate, so…” Turns out coconut marshmallows are his favorite candy. NOT MINE! That was not a good beginning to the night. How many times have we heard this story at g: “My husband really wanted me to wear this on Valentine’s Day but it’s a small and I’m a size 10. I didn’t want to disappoint him but I felt horrible when I put this on.” Broken dreams, unreal expectations, embarrassment, awkwardness…..Let’s avoid all of this on Valentine’s Day by making the planning part of the day.
 Shop together, it’s the greatest foreplay. Watch her try on lingerie but don’t touch. All day on Valentine’s Day you will have the image in your mind. Bet you can’t wait to come home. Plan the meal, plan the massage, plan the movie but plan it together. In the last 5 years we have seen a huge growth in couple’s shopping together for Valentine’s Day. Try it and see how it works for you. How about this for a plan:
1. Meet after work at one of your favorite Bucktown restaurants for an appetizer and a cocktail. 2. Stroll over to g boutique together and pick out some new lingerie and a new toy. 3. Have dinner at another hot Bucktown spot or at home. 4. Hide the g bags until February 14th. 5. Get into bed and whisper about how excited you are to try your new toy together in a few weeks. 6. Next….hmmmmm.
See you at g.
Well, we made it. It’s 2012. The Iowa caucuses are over, Obama’s still the president, the economy is……..(I’ll let you fill in the blank), and everyone is still having sex. Right? So, what’s on the horizon for 2012? Seems like a lot of us have taken stock and made some hard decisions in the past 3 years, now it is time to enjoy what’s really important to us.
I see women and men returning to quality. If it touches your body, it should make you feel good. We see a renewed commitment to supporting local businesses and recognizing customer service as a major reason for doing business. When we opened g boutique 10 years ago, Kari and I searched everywhere to find a place where we felt good about shopping for lingerie and erotica. A place that made us feel good about having questions and seeking new adventures with our partners. We started speaking to friends and realized there were many women who wanted to talk more about sex but did not know where to go. Our idea was to create a like-minded community. This is the essence of g.
 We want you to know that we are always on the lookout for softer, sexier, better fitting lingerie, something new in toys and the greatest lube in the whole wide world. We are committed to letting you know what’s safe for you. We never sell something we do not believe in, even if so many other stores are selling it. We stand by our products and our vendors.
 In 2012 we will see new fabric blends like modal/cashmere from Cosabella, more printed lace and organic fabrics and a continued commitment to sustainable manufacturing and better information for the public. Colors are trending towards contentment colors like soft, muted lavenders, corals and jades. The last 3 years have focused on function and realism. We will soon see a trend towards unique, individualism, a celebration of our artistic sensibility. The daring will be unmatched. They will be guided by emotion and whimsy. Brands like Fleur’t, Eberjey and Irely are creating new silhouettes every season that celebrate femininity. The French continue to offer bras with the highest quality and attention to detail but global manufacturing practices are bringing quality up and price down in several lines like Blush and Elle MacphersonIntimates.
 The toy industry has changed drastically since we opened 10 years ago. Quality has increased and finally companies are manufacturing toys with women in mind. Our friends at Tantus, Fun Factory, and Vibratex have been setting the standards for years and people are listening. We sing praises for these companies everyday. Standard Innovation turned the industry around with the invention of the We-Vibe. Now on its third rendition, with remote control, it just keeps getting better. Lelo is another company that continues to please women and couples with their attention to quality design and craftsmanship. JimmyJane, Toy Friends, Tenga, N’Joy and more are among the industry leaders, with new designs appearing each season.
