Lush window display

[Arran2024]

Full on pro trans kids window display

Same on the home page on the website

Does anyone know WHY Lush is quite so vociferous????

It's a fairly easy boycot for me because i hate their products but I haven't bought as gifts since they had young female staff doing that kisses promo

They also had a strop over some I love JKR stickers on the window and refusing to serve customers wearing similar such as Adult Human Female t-shirts. Absolute disgrace of a company.

I would be interested to know this too, because I don't see as their target market are within a related demographic. They might want them to be but I somehow don't think either transmen or transwomen are buying bath bombs. Computer games, graphic novels and anime maybe, but not Lush products.

They sell one item where 75% of sales price goes to three different UK and Ireland based trans orgs. Presumably they put up the displays to bring attention to this

They can fuck right off.

I don't want sanctimonious political hand wringing with my bath products, thanks.

Well it's a very helpful reminder to the likes of me not to give them any of my hard-earned cash. It's weirdly strident though, given that they presumably want to sell as much soap as possible to as many people as possible. Ditto the Body Shop. I can't be the only one who doesn't want a side-order of TRA fantasy with my shampoo.

All their stinky products are as awful as their ideas about things.

Their shop with its constantly open door was the worst thing about commuting through London Victoria. And I include Southern Rall in that.

Didn’t they have some anti police stuff in their windows once as well?! Stick to selling toiletries, no one wants politics shoved down their throat when they are buying a bath bomb

I boycotted them when one of their London shops put out on Instagram that they'd allow teenage girls to use them as a delivery address so that girls could buy breast binders without their parents knowing.

Quite a lot of the staff seem to be of the rainbow-haired, ear gauged, black-tasseled and likely many-gendered variety, so that might be a factor. Not that they seemed to care about their staff that much though (or at least, not the female ones) when they were getting random men to kiss them all over, or talking them into working/standing round shopping centres naked but for an apron....

Wow what a shame

They don't mind discriminating against asthmatics, my poor DS can't even be in the same street as one of their shops with being ill. 😢

Oh god yeah, I'd forgotten about the binders thing.
What crappy times we have been in if a toiletries shop offering to secretly provide products that may be physically damaging to minors like they are doing sonething heroic isn't the maddest incident of it all.

It’s weird commercially. I just told a firm that the reason I stopped signing up for their medical product was the sex assigned at birth question. I want a better understanding of human biology thank you.

They've seen a commercial opportunity and are trying to seize it, surely? I imagine they think that everyone involved in this outpouring of grief and support for poor, poor transpeople is someone they can persuade to buy soap and bath bombs. They may be right, but this is a passing phase and like the Body Shop, they'll pay the price eventually.

🤮🤮🤮

This is what happens when you decide that "sex work" is work.

I'd rather smell like I spent 3 days living in a sewage farm than smell like anything sold in Lush.

Never been buying from them again. Which is a shame cus I really like their Big shampoo. But that web banner is atrocious.

Their factory is on a nearby industrial estate 🙁.

I used to love their chocolate face mask and buy gift sets. However I refuse to step into their shops since they did their TWAW campaigning.

I tell anyone who is willing to listen not to shop there and why. I do find it bizarre as you would think they would like their marketing team to encourage customers rather than repel them.

Passed the Covent Garden store today! It made me double take!
Read the room lush!

They had a ‘spy cops / police spies out of lives’ campaign’ which unfortunately co-incided with the horrific murder of PC Andrew Harper, so it touches a very raw nerve with the public.

I boycotted them when they supported WPUK and then made a grovelling apology for doing so. They also gave out breast binders to young girls without their parents’ knowledge.
