Lily Allen has teamed up with Lovehoney to add a provocative twist to the holiday season with her new Love, Lily collection, featuring an Advent calendar designed to deliver 24 delightful surprises. This unique offering aims to make the countdown to Christmas an adventurous experience, shifting away from typical treats to promote self-exploration and intimacy.
A Gift That Sparks Pleasure
The Advent calendar, priced at $129, is filled with a mix of toys, games, and accessories, creating a playful and pleasurable way to celebrate the holidays. Allen expressed her excitement about the concept, stating, “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.” Highlights of the calendar include a range of products such as the Womanizer Starlet 3, a rechargeable mini wand, and an assortment of intimate accessories designed to enhance solo or partnered experiences.
Behind the Collection
The collaboration between Allen and Lovehoney isn’t new; the duo previously worked together in 2020 to challenge the societal taboos surrounding self-pleasure. Allen emphasized the importance of normalization in discussions about women’s pleasure, saying, “Societal pressures are put on us as women, especially when we’re talking about pleasure…the way we get away from those things is by normalizing them.” This year, she has brought six specially curated products to this collection, including a dual-stimulation vibrator and a suction-powered peach, showcasing her commitment to fostering open conversations about sexual wellness.
Fun and Functional Design
Among the standout items in the collection is the Womanizer Peach, a clitoral stimulator designed with Pleasure Air Technology to provide a unique experience. Described by Allen as “super soft and pretty,” it’s created to look more like a decorative piece than a typical sex toy. Another cheeky highlight is the pale-blue, polka-dot butt plug, which Allen promotes on social media complemented with her Grammy campaign, bringing a sense of humor and creativity to her artistic expression.
Addressing the Pleasure Gap
Despite a growing openness around sexual wellness, many women still struggle with prioritizing their own pleasure. A study commissioned by Lovehoney revealed that only two in five women actively pursue their self-pleasure. Allen hopes her collection will encourage women to explore what they enjoy in a safe and comfortable setting. “I think women in particular can find it difficult to ask for what they want…there are so many physical and emotional benefits in exploring ourselves, for ourselves—it’s self-care—there’s no shame in it,” she commented.
