Celebrate BDSM day 2026



On February 24th, people around the world will celebrate BDSM Day, a moment to honour communication, consent, self-discovery, and the joy of tailored erotic expression. At Oh La La Shop, we believe pleasure comes in many forms, and that celebrating BDSM isn’t just about kink, it’s about trust, connection, and confidence.

Whether you’re new to BDSM or have been exploring for years, this day is a reminder to do so with respect for yourself and your partner(s), and with the right tools to make the experience both exciting and fulfilling.

What Is BDSM Day?
BDSM Day is a time to uplift the values that make BDSM healthy and empowering:
  • Consent — clear, enthusiastic, ongoing.
  • Communication — before, during, and after play.
  • Safety — physically and emotionally.
  • Pleasure — centred around personal choice and comfort.
It’s not about extremes or pressure; it’s about exploring dynamics that feel right for you.

Consent First: The Heart of BDSM
At Oh La La Shop, we can’t stress this enough: consent is sexy. Before introducing any new kink-related activity or toy:
  • Talk openly about boundaries and expectations.
  • Agree on limits and safewords.
  • Check in regularly — consent is continuous.
This shared respect builds trust, and it’s what makes BDSM play genuinely memorable.

Play with Confidence (and Comfort)
Whether you’re interested in gentle power dynamics or more intense sensory play, the right products can elevate your experience. Start with basics that focus on sensation and connection:
Elegant Restraints
Soft cuffs and ties can be just as thrilling as more elaborate gear and they’re a great way to explore restraint in a comfortable, controlled way.
Sensory Play Items
Feather ticklers, blindfolds, and light impact tools help focus attention and heighten sensation without intimidation.
Chic Lingerie
Expressing dominance, submission, or playful mystery can begin with what you wear. Luxurious pieces help set the tone and boost confidence.
At Oh La La Shop, we offer a range of curated products that blend quality with style, perfect for both beginners and experienced players alike.

Play Safe: Tips for Responsible BDSM
Safety doesn’t dampen fun, it enhances it. Consider these guidelines:
  • Educate yourself: Read up on techniques and safety.
  • Use safewords: Simple systems like “green/yellow/red” help maintain control.
  • Mind your body: Know the difference between pleasurable sensation and pain that could cause harm.
  • Aftercare matters: Physical touch, reassurance, and calm discussion post-play deepen intimacy.

Celebrate Every Body and Every Preference
BDSM Day isn’t just for a specific type of person, it’s for anyone who values consensual exploration. There’s no single way to enjoy kink, and there’s no “right” path except what’s respectful and fulfilling for you.
At Oh La La Shop, we embrace diversity, curiosity, and empowerment. Let this day inspire conversations, connections, and playful exploration that feels authentic to you.

Whether you’re stocking up for a themed evening or simply want to add something special to your routine, our range of lingerie and play gear is here to support your journey stylishly and safely.
Happy BDSM Day,  may it be filled with consent, connection, and confidence.

Alternative Lifestyles, Mental Health and the M Word.

Recently here in the United Kingdom we had a week dedicated to acknowledging the need to address the mental health issues people are suffering from. We saw adverts telling us to talk about mental health as well as a lot of advice if you are suffering from poor mental health. We at www.ohlalashop.co.uk know that mental health is not some sort of weird little unknown problem that effects only a few people. The key word that we see is health. Anyone can suffer from poor physical health. There is no stigma in having a physical problem, people are quite open about physical illness. There is no problem telling someone you have a cold and people have no problem seeking help from their doctor to help them solve a physical health concern. Why is it then that we find it so hard to be open and honest about our mental health. Mental health unlike physical health has along history of being suppressed. Its only over the last few years that the general public have been able to be honest about any me...
