The BBC has reported that suppliers and manufacturers have been shrinking the size of their products to avoid raising the price, due to the rise in commodity prices. Some manufacturers, such as Toblerone (whose chocolate bars have reduced by a whole triangle) have been upfront with consumers about the reduction. Whereas others have cheekily kept the packaging and price the same, and reduced the size of the product without notifying the customer. Very naughty.
Here at Lovehoney we want to reassure you that we know Every Inch Counts. We will never knowingly shrink our dildos or vibrators without telling you. In fact, you can scrutinize the size of every item. Just scroll down to the 'How It Measures Up' section of the product page to find the length, circumference, diameter, base diameter and base type of the product.

Since its launch, we have recycled a whopping 4475 rabbits and other items, meaning a happier environment and continued pleasure for Lovehoney customers.
BlueBella have hit the headlines in both the Daily Mail and Daily Express today after CEO Emily Bendell was snubbed by Ann Widdecombe at the Women Of Worth Awards, 2011.
Bendell was due to be presented the Small Business of the Year Award by Ann Widdecombe, who was guest of honour at the annual ceremony, celebrating women's contribution to business. After seeing a short film outlining Bendell's lingerie and lovestuff business, Widdecombe swiftly declined to present the award to her, leaving her standing until one of the organisers quickly stepped in.
"It was a real surprise to me that it happened at an event that was meant to celebrate the success of women. It certainly took the shine out of the day for me," said Bendell. "Ann is a great proponent of women getting ahead by their own merits so I would have hoped that she would have recognised my acheivements."
Ann eventually agreed to have a photo taken with Emily, off-stage, and without the award.

Here at LoveHoney we're constantly thinking of new ways that we can minimise our impact on the environment.
We have already launched the world's first sex toy recycling scheme, Rabbit Amnesty, which encourages our customers to send back their clapped out vibrators – and in return they get money off a sparkly new one! We take the vibrators to SWEEEP who recycle them for us, and for every one that's sent in, we donate £1 to our friends at the World Land Trust, who save threatened tropical rain forests.
It can take planes, trains, cars and sometimes even boats to make sure we get the right sex toys to you on time. All this global galavanting can lead to quite a large carbon footprint, so we make sure that we offset our emissions annually with the World Land Trust Carbon Balancing Scheme.
Our newest friends are the International Tree Foundation, a UK-based tree charity that plants and protects trees in the UK and overseas to offset the carbon emissions generated by our servers. ITF will be planting native British tree species, such as Beech, Oak, and Ash through out the winter period on behalf of Rackspace and LoveHoney.
