Hi @Lovehoney_Brenna , would it be possible to add a section to the main website for novelty/fun gift type products because they can prove so hard to find using the general search system. Especially pre Christmas, I think it would prove very popular.
I honestly wouldn’t have ever seen Duck With A Dick on the website if I hadn’t stumbled across it in the New In section. So many of these uncategorised items must be completely missed my many shoppers, me included!
Also agreed. Stumbled across glow in the dark condoms the other day looking for something completely unrelated. Theres alot of fun novelty stuff in the shop most people never notice. Besides other things they make fun stocking fillers and secret santa presents
I know Lovehoney is committed to LGBT+ causes and helping everyone feel comfortable on the site, so I wanted to share something that’s been bothering my girlfriend and I.
There are many great toys for use on penises, but I feel the naming of sections on the site might be excluding a portion of users. My girlfriend has a penis and would love to feel comfortable browsing the many great options, but the section is named “male sex toys” and since she is not male, she has not felt comfortable browsing these options.
I know we cannot be the only users affected by this. It’s only a small change, but a name like “Penis Toys” would help us feel so much more comfortable - and included! - using the Lovehoney website.
I’d love to hear from other users whether any other sections on the site could use a name tweak!
This also applies to the clothing which I’ve mentioned on here before.
There doesn’t need to be separate sections for men and women because then people feel like they cannot wear the items they choose if they are not meant to be for them.
So deep down, they could end up feeling more ashamed or embarrassed to purchase certain items.
Interestingly the LH lingerie section doesn’t appear to be gender specific except
“Underwear for Men”
Generally though I’m happy with gender orientated categories for clothing. I know which section I’ll be buying from and don’t have issues if it’s not my biological gender
Hi,there, this is a bit of a half baked idea and there maybe complex issues, but thought I would share it as it good be a good business opportunity for LH. I watched a My5 series called Good girls sex tips or something like that. Basically, 3 couples wanted to improve their relationship and sex by experimenting more. LH as well as other companies provided various props and toys during the series. The couples were set tasks that were given to them in a box with instructions. I wondered if that could be applied to a weekly or monthly subscription system with LH ? Probably best to use a sex therapist to design the boxes, especially the advice and degree of “experimentation” as you progress through the boxes. It would need to be marketed for willing couples and probably have up to 3 levels of increasing experimentation through the boxes. I think it would be really important for the sex therapist to set the “conditions” in the first few boxes with tasks that reconnect a couple, rather than diving in to toys and being too experimental.
On a personal note myself and my Wife have not been very sexually active, pretty much since we had a family. They are both at Uni now so we are trying to reconnect and improve our relationship, especially our intimacy. We are currently using a Relate guide Sex in Relationships which I would strongly recommend. The sensate exercises are very useful and could be used as part of the first few task in and subscription system.
If nothing else this may be a good way for LH to promote healthy relationships as well as intimacy and sex, whilst also being a good business opportunity.
Anyway would appreciate any comments on whether this seems a good idea and whether LH are interested.
I assume that in the end it didn’t prove popular enough, it’s not a route we went down.
I can see how it would be a great idea but I think fitting it to all couples would be really tricky plus if it’s a set group of things out each month/quarter/whatever progression would be hard as it would depend when people started up with their subscription.
I think maybe a series of blog posts would be a really good idea. Then you could start reading, whenever you discover the site or want to and it could suggest things to try and progress with to open up new ideas within the relationship and couples could pick and choose what pieces they were up for. What do you think?
They did have this. Unfortunately, I wasn’t buying from LH at all during the time so I didn’t get the opportunity. If it did come back, I’d definitely try it out as it sounds like a fun idea. Gutted they don’t do it anymore
I did wonder if it would be too difficult to make it appealing to many couples. The blog idea with a series of “tasks” has good merit and can be linked to products too. Thanks for replying.
It would be great if there was a vote/helpful option on the actual product reviews. There are lots of really good reviews that are diluted with some lower quality reviews that were submitted more recently.
This used to exist before the website got updated. I really miss it too, as finding what you want to know in the reviews can mean wading through a ton of reviews that are basically one paragraph or less long. This is especially annoying for lingure when im trying to find out what the fit of an item is like
A few little suggestions that would make my browsing much easier…
A category for non-vibrating dildos. I’m sure there used to be one but not anymore.
The ability to select more than one category at a time, for example if i’m looking for a non-vibrating dildo but don’t mind if it’s realistic or not.
The length and circumference options are not continuous which is a bit annoying if you are looking for a dildo with a circumference of between 5 and 6 inches! Where would I find one with a 5.5 or 5.75 inch circumference? In the 4-5 or 6-7 category? I know I could just browse through the whole lot but it takes a long time to open every single page just to check the circumference is in the right range!
Some sort of “firmness” scale. If you particularly want a softer dildo it’s almost impossible to tell which ones would suit unless it is mentioned in a review or in the description. And sometimes the description doesn’t match the reality! I got the Kendel Swirly dildo which said it was flexible so I assumed that meant it would have some softness but it’s solid and very firm. I still enjoy it but it’s not what I was expecting.
I am one of the people who wants an app instead of having to use a browser. I understand that some people wouldn’t want the app to be seen on their phone, but on iPhones you can hide apps from the main screen so they are only seen in the app library.
Open the mobile site on your phone. Hit the three dots in the top corner and choose ‘add to home screen’. Whilst there’s no app this is as close you you’ll get and makes it easier to log in.
I’m an android user rather than iPhone so assume there’s a similar option on Apple devices.
