Introduction
CloneZone is the UK and Europe's first Gay Superstore; Manchester is home to CloneZone Dark, which is one of their four stores nationwide. CloneZone has long been known as a source of quality products by and for the Gay commmunity. Not only that, but they are fantastically welcoming to the transgender community; CloneZone as a company are doing their part to make sure that everybody feels welcome to enter and browse, welcoming all of the community. It can be difficult sometimes to find Gay Fetish spaces which are inherently inclusive of the T - it's nice to find a space where we don't have to fight to be there.
As soon as you walk in through the door, you are greeted with friendly faces who will point you to exactly what you need. They'll also stop and have a chat with you, provided the store isn't too busy; we have a great time whenever we pop in. It really feels like home.
The upstairs area is fitted with an array of gorgeous harnesses, jockstraps, and pup hoods; stocking the finest new fetish gear. The downstairs area is where you'll find the sex toys; shelves lined with only the best, from Topped Toys to OxBalls, and an area specifically for Rubber and Leather gear. They have a changing room to try out anything that catches your eye.
Rubber
Clonezone Dark MCR stocks only the finest in rubber products; we were pleasantly surprised not only by the prices, but by the sheer quality. As expected, everything that lines their shelves is of utmost quality - product after product was beautifully crafted sheet latex, thick and glossy. They also stock a handy array of care, dressing, and shining products behind the counter; it is so very convenient to have a location to be able to pop in and pick up some Pjur or Vivishine after doing my usual rounds of shopping.
More Than Just A Shop
If you are a Gay Fetishist either living in or visiting the UK, I highly recommend visiting any CloneZone locations. Not only is it a shopping destination, but it is a safe place to find news on local events and venues (Granted, in Manchester, you don't exactly need it pointed out to you!), and to get the 'in' on what's going on in our community. CloneZone is at the forefront of our community, always bringing in the new 'in' things, and promoting events and venues within the Gay Fetish scene. CloneZone is a bastion holding up and supporting our community; I highly recommend stopping a while, having a chat, and buying whatever catches your eye. Don't worry; they sell plenty of items which are single or double digit in price!
