Walgreens Goes All Out In Effort To Convince You To Buy Sex Toys
Not only does Walgreens.com have a wide variety of “Sexual Wellness” products, from the usual lubrication and condoms all the way to vibrators and “Adult Toys for Men,” they’re really not holding back when it comes to the descriptions of each item, and why you’d be crazy not to buy them.
This kind of stuff could be NSFW, by the way, if you’re in the habit of reading aloud to your boss. There’s also no age gate on the site where you would enter your birthdate to verify being older than 18, so, there’s that.
As HappyPlace.com points out, there’s a particularly gung ho copywriting situation going on for the “Tenga Flip Hole for Male Masturbation Black.” Let’s just say whoever wrote this description really, really wants you to know how awesome it is.Take it away, eager copywriter!
Tenga Flip Hole is designed to be the best male masturbator on the market. The Tenga Flip hole is deliberately not a simple artificial vagina – it is better. Filled with silicone ribs; nubs; gates; flaps; and pumps; the Tenga Flip Hole has an astonishing complex inside shape. Every centimeter of it has a particular function. Its flexible casing with buttons allows a total control of the stimuli
We’ll let you read the rest on your own.
It would seem that the manufacturers provide the copy and Walgreens was just like, “Shrug! What do we know about sex toys? Sounds good to us!” Why not get straight to the important features? It’s the customer’s right to know, so they can make an informed decision.
In any case, we’ve got to give it to Walgreens for not holding anything back in its pursuit of your sexual wellness business.
