About Lovehoney

We are the sexual happiness people

Hey, hot stuff. Let us introduce ourselves.

We’re Lovehoney, the global leader in sexual happiness. We create and sell sex toys, lingerie, bondage and sexual wellness products direct from our warehouses in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia.

Lovehoney packaging is shipped in discreet brown boxes, straight to your door. No fuss and no nosy neighbours. It’s all in the name of helping you love how you love because here at Lovehoney, we believe that everyone deserves sexual happiness.

You can contact us in the UK at:

Lovehoney, 100 Locksbrook Road, Bath, BA1 3EN, or email us at customercare@lovehoney.co.uk

Our Story

Buying a sex toy used to involve being confronted by seedy, male-centric websites with in-your-face, pornographic images and packaging. But colleagues and friends, Neal Slateford and Richard Longhurst decided it was time things changed, and a new era of sex toy shopping began in 2002.

Fast-forward from our humble beginnings with a single computer in Richard’s apartment to today, and you could say we’re very (sexually) happy about what we’ve achieved so far.

2002

Born in Bath, Lovehoney founders (and all-round legends), Richard and Neal launched the original website, an online marketplace for the best sex toys around.

2005

We learnt a thing or two about what makes a great sex toy and thought, “you know what? It’s time we gave it a go ourselves.” Working alongside sex expert Tracey Cox, we created our first range of pleasure products. The first of many to say the least.

2011

We brand ourselves as the “Sexual Happiness People” around the same time as when Lovehoney launches outside of the UK for the first time, opening a website across the pond in the United States.

2016

We were presented with The Queen's Award for Enterprise for our contribution to international trade. Such a prestigious recognition was the proudest moment in our history (so far), and another huge step on our mission to make buying and enjoying sex toys as normal as shopping for clothes or watching the telly. We were presented with a second Queen's Award in 2021.
