About us



Carmen Ely, Founder of Play With Me

 

Play. With. Me.

Three words that are an experience, an invitation and a manifesto. Three words about fun, intimacy, curiosity and a love of self.

While Play With Me is a premium South African supplier of intimate adult products, what we believe in — and what we strive for — is so much more than simply selling sex toys.

I created Play With Me in celebration of my own journey and the discovery of my own inner strength. I believe in taking a refreshing, frank and judgement-free approach to sex, intimacy, adventure and indulgence, whether you’re exploring alone or with a partner.

Play With Me is a conversation starter.

It is a space for people who are looking for something more, even if they aren’t quite sure what that “more” is yet. Alongside a carefully curated range of intimate products, we offer knowledgeable, honest guidance to help you understand what you enjoy, explore new possibilities and choose products that genuinely suit you.

For more than nine years, Play With Me has helped customers shop for pleasure without embarrassment, intimidation or judgement. Today you can shop with us online for discreet nationwide delivery, or arrange a private shopping or collection appointment in Lonehill, Sandton.

And so we return to Play With Me.

Play – Have fun. Be naughty, be nice, be classy, be slutty in a classy way, and discover what it is you really want.

With – Get intimate. Understand, forgive, learn and explore. Work through self-doubt, reconnect with what gets your heart racing, liberate yourself and enjoy.

Me – Learn to love yourself again. Love your perfect imperfections. Before you can show someone else how to love you and give you pleasure, remember how to love yourself — and what gives you pleasure.

To those of you who read this and think, “It’s easy for you to say. I can’t do it. I’m too embarrassed, too afraid, too alone,” I have this message for you:

I was where you are, and it almost cost me everything.

My first brave step was admitting that there was so much more that I wanted and deserved. I started discovering who I was. I learned to prioritise myself, to love who I am and to understand the pleasure I want and deserve.

It wasn’t always easy, but I did it.

And I would love for Play With Me to be part of your journey too.

A world of wonderful experiences awaits.

Be Bold, Stay Playful.
