NORTHERN IRISH SNAP UP SEX TOYS AFTER BEING TOLD TO STAY AT HOME
NORTHERN IRELAND (BELFAST) - SALES OF sex toys in Northern Ireland have more than doubled after we were told to stay at home to limit the spread of the coronavirus, according to the country’s award-winning adult shop Misstique.
“It makes me happy that we are doing something good during this difficult time, when people feel vulnerable,” said Aaron M, sales advisor to Misstique, the biggest sex toy seller in Northern Ireland. Misstique has reported that online sales have doubled in the past few weeks, when customers have been disappointed to find the retail shop is currently closed. In particular demand for sex games and toys for couples has spiked. We’ve also seen a surge in sales of Chastity devices on our website
“I think it’s only natural that when we spend more time together, we want to have a little extra fun,” said Kate G, Sales Advisor
A topic that many of our customers are ringing us to ask is about sex and Covid19. At Misstique we are highly trained in product knowledge but giving out medical advice isn’t out remit, we like to leave that to the professionals, therefore we would recommend professional & more reliable sources than the new breed of ‘Facebook experts’ such as IPPF.org, Terrance Higgins Trust etc
What other ways can I have sex? You are your safest sexual partner right now. There is no risk of passing on coronavirus through masturbation and there’s plenty of evidence that shows masturbation can relieve stress and anxiety. If you use sex toys, make sure you wash them with a cleaner with sanitizer such as Loving Joy Toy Cleaner (£3.99) and your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds before and after. We’ve always had a saying ‘Keep your sex dirty and your toys clean’ this has never been so vital.
phone sex or video dates using WhatsApp or other platforms. Just make sure you aren’t pressured into anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. Have a look at our range of remote toys such a Svakom Vick Remote Prostrate Massager (£72.99), not just for fun but health benefits too. Or the Loving Joy super gybrator 7inch rotating and vibrating dildo (£39.95)

Did you know that regular use of Bathmate Hydro pumps, the number one seller worldwide, can increase penis length and girth? Harnessing the power of water for real, lasting improvements for your penis size, erection strength, personal confidence and sex life, Bathmate hydropumps (from £64.95) have helped over 1 million satisfied users worldwide – get ready to experience genuine, lasting gains.
World’s biggest producer says lockdown has already caused shortfall of 100m condoms - If you’re planning to spend the next few weeks getting freaky in the sheets with your self-isolation buddy, we’ve got bad news. Coronavirus has already caused tens of thousands of businesses to close their doors, and now, the virus is coming after the condom factories. That’s right, first no loo roll or pasta, and now no sex (unless you have been hoarding condoms, that is). For the past week, the world’s biggest condom manufacturer, Karex Bhd in Malaysia – which makes one of every five condoms used across the globe – has been forced to shut up shop. But don’t start crying just yet – there’s a solution on the horizon. We have a supply of condoms on our website including Glyde Vegan condoms, flavoured, performance and king size. And for those of you that like something a little different, in bulk packs Glyde Ultra Cola flavour (100 condoms for £84.99)
Protect yourself and others Meanwhile, you can protect yourself, your loved ones and the wider population by following this general advice: Wash your hands more regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze. Put any used tissues into the bin immediately. Avoid touching your face, particularly your nose, mouth and eyes. Try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell. If you are unwell, avoid contact with others (touching, kissing, hugging and other intimate contact) and check the latest official advice on seeing a doctor or self-isolating. Use hand-sanitizer (with at least 60% alcohol) if it is not possible to wash your hands.
We’re living in extraordinary times and we all need to take extraordinary measures. Remember that this is not forever and, by playing your part, you’re helping to reduce the strain on the NHS and to protect yourself and others.
We’ll continue to follow developments and adjust our guidance accordingly. If you have any questions please contact us www. misstiquebelfast.co.uk we are always happy to help.
