Lovehoney launches a new £150 Womanizer advent calendar for couples – and it’s worth more than £425

Aimed at couples, this advent calendar already had our undivided attention thanks to it being a collaboration between Lovehoney and Womanizer. Two iconic brands at the core of sexual wellness teaming up together – what more could you want in the countdown to Christmas?

Firstly, the packaging of everything you purchase from Lovehoney is completely discreet – so you don’t have to worry about neighbours, parents or flatmates intruding on your new purchase. Once opened, even the advent calendar itself is pretty stylish and sophisticated in appearance, considering its contents, making it no issue to have on display.

As for what’s inside the advent calendar we don’t think you’ll be disappointed. The main gift is the Womanizer classic 2, which is worth £119.99 on its own, making this advent calendar a bargain indeed. For those not in the know, it features the brand’s patented pleasure air technology, as well as 10 intensity levels for you to explore and is also waterproof.

In addition to the big day’s surprise, there are plenty of other exciting toys to get your hands on too. Our favourites included the new Lovehoney mini wand vibrator (worth £34.99), which is a the perfect travel size for when you want to take your fun on the road and the glow up bullet vibrator (worth £24.99). An oldie but a goodie, this classic toy can be used on its own if you like to keep things traditional – or it can be paired with six other toys in the advent calendar, including the anal beads, penis stroker and finger sleeve.

Although that’s already surpassed the cost of the advent calendar, there are 21 other products inside. While items such as the adjustable nipple clamps, under-mattress restraints and G-spot dildo were all worthy additions to the bedroom, there are some smaller items in this advent calendar, too. The mint orgasm balm was something we hadn’t tried before and found it made a great “earlier-on” door to open within the calendar.

However, there’s always going to be some slightly less thrilling options and we have to say you probably won’t be too excited by the dice, the sex position cards can definitely be found online and you might already have something similar to the vanilla massage oil at home. But, ultimately, the higher-priced items already make this advent calendar a success, with everything else simply a steamy and surprising bonus.

Another gorgeously-designed package, this time in Lovehoney’s own iconic devilish red, this 12-day advent calendar is ideal for those looking for some festive fun but who, perhaps, aren’t too fussed about the full countdown.

Let’s get the essential details out of the way first: this advent calendar marks the sexual wellness retailer’s first inclusion of its top-selling product and sex toy, the rose. The clitoral suction stimulator is worth £54.99 on its own, meaning you’re getting 11 extra products for around £40. An absolute sexy steal, in our books.

The Lovehoney rose uses Womanizer’s iconic pleasure air technology which aims to deliver speedy and intense orgasms via clitoral suction stimulation. We wont’ go into the details of this one but we were seriously impressed with this toy and might be shoving a few of our other toys to the back of the bedside table drawer from now on.

Also inside the calendar are other rose-themed toys, games and bondage accessories, including the crystal butt plug (worth £22.99). This one wasn’t personally our thing but definitely hits the luxe mark thanks to its ruby red jewel-tipped base. Who said sexual wellness wasn’t classy?

You’ll find a bullet vibrator too, which is compatible with the G-spot dildo and G-spot massager, as well as being a fun companion for the anal beads. The silicone kegel balls were another new addition (from comparing both advent calendars), while the nipple clamps feature jingle bell charms – if you’re into that kind of thing. The dice and the satin blindfold make up more of the Christmas cracker gift elements but do their jobs at adding to the festive fun.

While some of the products are similar to that of the Womanizer x Lovehoney advent calendar (£140, Boots.com), this is because the former includes products than can be used individually, as well as together, while the rose advent calendar is purely for the enjoyment and pleasure of vulva owners.

Overall, If you’re not fussed by doing the full countdown, are flyin solo and prefer anal pleasure to restraints, this smaller and slightly more affordable edition could be the one for you.

Another couple’s calendar, this one is ideal for those who are not fussed about committing to the full Christmas countdown and simply want a taste of the fun.

Pink-coloured (compared to the purple Womanizer collaboration and the red rose advent calendar), this 12-door option is worth more than £200. Following the same format as the previous two advent calendars, the Lovehoney romance features a hero product which, in this case, is the mini dream wand vibrator, which is worth £69.99 (more than two-thirds of the entire cost) alone.

The dream wand vibrator is perfect for couples and solo play, so there are no issues if you don’t have a long-term partner. The wand is travel-friendly and rechargeable, and it boasts seven vibration patterns and four intensity levels, taking the meaning of festive fun to a whole new level.

While we are huge fans of the Womanizer class 2 (the hero gift in the 24-day advent calendar, £140, Boots.com), the patented pleasure air technology isn’t for everybody and there might be some of you (ourselves included) who prefer a wand sex toy. Although there are half the days to count down and therefore half the sexy surprises behind the doors, we have to say this would be our dealbreaker when it comes to deciding which couple’s advent calendar to choose.

However, as with the other calendars, the smaller gifts are not to be ignored, with this one also featuring a crystal butt plug (worth £22.99) and a remote-controlled bullet vibrator (worth £39.99), which we found to be particularly fun as it can be controlled hands-free by yourself or a partner.

While the sex positions card game is a slightly less exciting gift (as even if you want to expand your options, there is the internet for that), the rest of the gifts are all handy and fun for some elevated couple time. The body massager and vanilla massage oil are great additions for the earlier-on doors, while the couple’s cock ring and the finger vibrator sleeve also add their extra layer of fun.

We’ll never say no to a scented candle and this advent calendar also includes satin restraints and a blindfold for taking things to the next level. For some added romance, there are even faux rose petals should you be planning a sexy surprise for your partner.
