    Established for gay friends, COOL GUY shop offers numerous gay adult toys and men’s fashion items from America, Europe and Japan. There’s a good selection of men’s underwear, jockstraps, leather products and other BDSM accessories.

    Part of their proceeds are donated to Homosexual Associations to support equal rights and LGBT social welfare. Free shipping for orders exceeding NTD1,000. LINE ID: qstore

    For your privacy, the shop does not post any signage outside of the building. So it may be a bit difficult to find this place, but it will be worth your visit to Taipei.

    COOL GUY is located very close to Red House in Ximen. When you arrive at the entrance to building on the 1st floor , press door phone "88020", and they'll let you in and a staff will guide you to the store.
