Lily Allen has partnered with Lovehoney for Love, Lily, a new sex toy collection.
The collection is consists of six items that Allen tested herself while on tour supporting her recent album West End Girl. There’s the Heart Duo, which opens up into two parts; the Womanizer Enhance, which Allen previously credited with “changing her life”; the Peach, which is velvety soft; the Lovehoney Pleasure Trip Wand, a curved pale pink vibrator; The Lovehoney Enjoy Advent Calendar with 24 different surprise items; and a pale polka-dot blue Butt Plug that mimics the novelty USB drives she made available when releasing West End Girl.
“I did my first collaboration with Lovehoney six years ago, which came about very organically because I had written about my experience in my book,” Allen said in a statement. “We sent a whole bunch of toys out to people I know and admire and I still get messages today saying you’ve had such a profound impact on my life. Instinctively, I think they’re going to be talking about my music but they’re actually talking about the toys.”
She continued: “Back then, no one really talked about pleasure out in the open. Thankfully, people seem a little more comfortable now, but we still need to nudge that conversation along some more — it can only ever be a good thing not to feel shame about our own bodies.”
Allen also offered details and backstories for her curation. Learn more about the Love, Lily collection from Lovehoney here, and scroll on for Allen’s breakdown of each product in the Love, Lily set.
The Heart Duo: “I love the fact that this is perfect for travel because it is two toys in one and you can put it in your luggage and no-one would ever know what lies inside.”
The Womanizer Enhance: “This is the OG for me. I wrote about Womanizer in my book and it genuinely did change my life. This is a newer model than back then and now there are more intensity and vibration levels now.”
The Peach: “Who doesn’t love a juicy peach for dessert? This one is super soft and pretty too, it’s not meant to live in a drawer.”
The Lovehoney Pleasure Trip Wand: “It looks a little like a pink microphone. Maybe because it performs?”
The Advent Calendar: “I love the idea of treating yourself to something new every day. And for couples, it takes any awkwardness out of choosing something you might not normally buy together. The toys are already picked for you, so there’s no pressure, you just open the door, discover something new and see what you both enjoy.”
The Polka dot plug: “I had to bring this to life. Obviously we created the USB drive for the album – but this is now the real-deal.”
