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. 😬

You don't actually have to wank in Boots, you're meant to take it home with you 😜

Well said 👏🏻

Thank you for such a detailed, thought provoking response… 😂

Presumably an 'anal play' product would be a good place to include a leaflet about risk of injury.

I've just done a quick search on my Tesco app, and the supermarket that delivers to me has four available to buy. My local shop only has one.

I'm just imagining my Tesco delivery driver. "No subs this week but short shelf life on your raspberries and vibrator"

I want to order one now to see what the substitute might be. No anal beads madam so we have sent mozzarella pearls instead

Nothing wrong with toys for anal play 🤷‍♀️ don’t see the difference between boots selling lube and condoms and sex toys, personally

My local Tesco has a selection of vibrators. Weirdly, they're next to the toothpaste!

😂

Now if Boots were in the US. I wonder what JD Vance and his weird mates would make of these openly on sale?

Women enjoy themselves? Never.

Vibrators are also sold in US Walmarts, Targets and other stores with a pharmacy.

Gawjus · 05/09/2024 17:36

This thread just caused me to check Sainsbury online shopping and they sell FOUR TYPES of vibrator! I'm shocked!

SparklyLimeJoker · 05/09/2024 17:49

This is shocking!!

The price I mean. Wait til Tuesdays and some go in the tenner Tuesday deals on the Boots website 👍 You're all welcome.

britneyisfree · 05/09/2024 17:50

Old news. I'm 37 now and remember seeing these at 18.

Ah next to the chewy toothbrushes?

Are you sure they weren't mint-flavoured condoms?

MLMsuperfan · 05/09/2024 18:56

Imagine if you were in Boots buying a vibrating cock ring and you bumped into the vicar.

UpUpUpU · 05/09/2024 19:03

For those clutching their pearls, DO NOT look on Temu at the adult section. I am very open but some of the things on there are just weird! My partner and I enjoy sending each other links to the weirdest things. Now if those were in boots I’d probably have something to say…

It is not in the meal deal? I’d gladly swap a bullet for a packet of cheese and onion 🤔

Restinpeacefavouritecoathanger · 05/09/2024 19:25

They used to sell a damn good bullet for a quid in the pound shop too... So I have been told.

Dearg · 05/09/2024 13:23

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

Ooo nothing like a pearl necklace...fnar fnar.

OhLookAStrawberry · 05/09/2024 20:02

I remember giggling at the Poundland cock rings & bullets when I was around 7/8 years old.
I will say them and the Boots ones aren't worth it, get a "Body massager" from Amazon for £15, they'll make you see god

I don't agree with adult sex items being on sale where children can see them. Also the normalisation of anal sex for young women and girls is dangerous.

The butt plugs are far more likely to be used by men. Men are almost certainly the target audience for them as a masturbation aid, which is why they’re right next to the wank sleeve.

And I don’t think they are normalising anal sex. They’re normalising/acknowledging that people who enjoy having something up can have that while avoiding the risk of anal sex.

Of course anal sex is completely normal for gay men
And that box isn't aimed at any gender...

TBF I used to use a electric toothbrush (not the bristles end!) as an emergency vibrator.

You've reminded me of sixth form conversations about how to get a bit of extra pleasure at no extra cost 🤣
