BOOTS [the shop] sex toys on the shelves now!

It's one thing to see condoms and lube for sale in a pharmacy, I'd expect that.

The attached picture is a bit much though, surely they should be behind the counter or in those plastic tag boxes.

Also that sleeve doesn't look like it would fit much of anything in it. 😬

Never seen anal play before tbh

Good question that I don’t know the answer to and also don’t want to google 😂😂

😂😂 I thought a bit of baby oil was all that was needed, but what do I know 🤷🏾‍♀️😅.

They are a bit pricey - no wonder folk use Amazon, only £23 quid there!

😂

ExtraOnions · 05/09/2024 13:43

Poundland used to sell them .. did not try !

Starlight1979 · 05/09/2024 13:44

I love how the OP has walked to the condom / lube section of Boots and then complained that the products on display there are too sex-related😂

It’s annoying how much sex has entered the public arena. Even some makeup brands have ridiculously sexual names. I don’t want the whole world turning into a sex shop

I agree with you on makeup, but going to the sex and wellbeing aisle of a shop and saying how annoying it is the whole worlds turning into a sex shop is a bit much 😂

Gosh - not behind the counter and not in plain brown wrapping 😱Where are my pearls 🤷🏻‍♀️

Behind the counter I expect!

WingSluts · 05/09/2024 13:51

There’s a thread on this posted at least once per month.

NortieTortie · 05/09/2024 13:52

This isn't a new thing, I'm nearing 30 and remember giggling at the durex sex toys (iirc there was a bullet vibrator and cock ring) in Asda with my friends as a young teen

I've never once seen sex toys in a supermarket, and I'm middle aged.

I'm middle aged, and have seen these in shops for years. Supermarkets and chemists alike.

SantasRubiksCube · 05/09/2024 13:53

I can practically feel the strangulation from here of how tight the pearl clutching is (none of that is even a euphemism considering the thread subject) 😂

no clutching those kind of pearls without a wipe, it'll be sticky.

pinkyredrose · 05/09/2024 13:57

I'm with Op, i just don't see the need.

brunettemic · 05/09/2024 13:57

lol, they’ve been around for years. What’s the issue anyway? Sex is perfectly natural and experimenting with how you enjoy it is part of that.

Foxxo · 05/09/2024 13:58

No sex please, we're british.

God forbid that SEX be a bit more mainstream and dragged out of the taboo of behind the counter in brown paper.

Its a normal thing that nearly everyone does. can we stop being so sodding prudish. jfc.

Bergmum · 05/09/2024 13:59

They sold vibrators in boots 13 years ago...

@offyoujollywelltrot you haven’t said why you think that this is too much? Why has it caused shock for you?

It's a bit like Les Mis.

Bananalanacake · 05/09/2024 14:03

When I was recently in Sainsbury's in the Lewisham area I saw a 'buttplugs for beginners' set, was a little miffed they didn't have any for more advanced users.

If you've not noticed for years, I think you are defeating the point of your own OP in terms of outrage...

Lovelysummerdays · 05/09/2024 14:06

You used to get a durex vibrating cock ring over twenty years ago. They sold them in boots and in the vending machine of the pub toilets for ten quid!
