About Adam and Eve
What's on the shelves
Lingerie for women and men runs from corsets and chemises to bridal pieces, matching sets and plus-size styles. Robes, gowns, sleepwear and loungewear sit alongside. Lubricants are offered in silicone, water-based, organic and hybrid formulas, next to a selection of condoms. Couples' games and books, massage candles, gift kits, bath products and body care make up the rest. Some lines are Adam and Eve's own label, sold next to other brands. Educational guides are published on the site too, and Dr Jenni Skyler, a licensed marriage and family therapist, acts as resident expert.
Delivery to the UK
Parcels leave the United States with DHL. Express takes 2 to 4 business days, while Standard and Priority take between 3 and 10. Prices for each service appear at checkout. Import duties and taxes are prepaid only with Priority; choose Standard or Express and charges may be due when the parcel lands.
Returns and warranty
Most products have a 90-day returns window, and you can choose a refund or a replacement unless the listing says otherwise. Sending items back to North Carolina is at your expense, and the original delivery charge is not refunded. Money is returned to the card or account you paid with, and processing can take 3 to 4 weeks. Replacement warranties run five years on own-label goods and up to two years on other brands.
