This is the sex toy you need to buy according to your star sign (and tonnes of them are on sale for Black Friday)
Cast your minds back to 2020. The nation went into lockdown, we all spent a hell of a lot more time indoors, and the sales of one product in particular went through the roof with thanks to its ability to lift the nations spirits. Spoiler: it wasn't tracksuits, nor was it baking equipment or pyjama sets (although those things made us feel infinity better, too). Any guesses? It was actually sex toys. Yep: we officially self-loved our way through one hell of a turbulent time, with sex toy sales - from clitoral vibrators to wand vibrators - reaching an all-time high. And even though things have almost returned to normal? Sex toy sales haven't actually plummeted.
Need proof? The first quarter of 2021 saw a 32.9% increase in the sex toys sector compared to the same period of 2020, which means even though sex toys saw a 200% uplift in sales when the UK went into lockdown 1.0 (with 20 sex toys an hour sold on Nasty Gal at the height of the resurgence), things are still on the up.
Elsewhere, Cult Beauty has seen a huge surge of interest in the female wellness category, with page views up by a staggering 80% when compared to last year - and sales of their most popular sex toy (the Dame Zee, FYI) have skyrocketed by 124%.
What does this show? Well, we've not only become more adventurous when it comes to sex of late, but we're also recognising that sex is a crucial part of our self-care routine. Masturbation has the ability to stimulate the production of oxygen, improve cognitive function, enhance your mood and act as a natural painkiller, so we're doing something about it.
Sex toys can elevate your self-care routine endlessly, whether you're going solo or having sex with a partner - so we can pretty much guarantee you're tempted to make a purchase. But how can you choose the best sex toy for you?
Well, sex toy experts at Nasty Gal have looked into each and every star sign to reveal which toy you need depending on the month in which you were born - from the classic dildo to G-spot vibrators, bullet vibrators, remote control vibrators and rabbit vibrators. There's a sex toy in the mix for everyone.
