This ground-breaking programme appeared on 12th May and will hopefully change the way that menopause is managed in the UK and even beyond these shores. It also shook Jo Divine as Samantha’s knowledge and enthusiasm for how great lubes and toys can improve people’s sex lives, obviously struck a chord, and we were deluged with orders.
We felt that we had properly prepared and possibly even over-ordered on the SONA 2 that featured in the programme. Little did we know that we’d sell out in 30 minutes and even the huge shipment we had express freighted the day after would be nowhere near enough. Nor the next shipment either!
We’d like to thank customers for their patience over the past couple of weeks. Six months of orders came in, during the first five days after the programme aired, and our packing team had made an incredible effort. We made a few mistakes, but we cheerfully put them right. But we have been so pleasantly surprised at people’s patience for products. We are a business that likes to ship same-day, so it is very hard if our standards slip, even in such extreme circumstances.
We are mostly back to normal and apart from orders waiting for the SONA 2, we are shipping in 1-2 days again. There are multiple deliveries for the SONA 2 coming in, so we hope to clear all backorders in the next few days.
We’d like to welcome our many new newsletter subscribers. We hope you enjoy this newsletter – we offer much more than most other companies in our newsletters. There will be, of course, new products and special offers, but we also have great new original blog articles from a wonderful team of authors.
In this newsletter we have an offer on the LELO SONA 2 (ending tomorrow!), Samantha’s blog post all about Sex, Myths and the Menopause, plus the next instalment in Eleni’s BDSM series, all about the misconceptions about BDSM.
You may wonder why we’d want to sell more LELO SONA 2s, but we’ve got an exclusive offer on the SONA 2 until the end of the bank holiday weekend with £25 off all orders. Please note any orders containing the SONA 2 will be delayed by subject to some delay, but all orders before we raise the price will be honoured at the lower price.
The SONA 2 is currently £63.99 and rises to £88.99 on 1st June. You can spread the cost of 3 months with PayPal’s “Pay in 3” option too.
You can see Samantha and MJ’s video review, along with LELO’s promo video:
“Sex, Myths and the Menopause”, presented by Davina McCall, aired on 12th May on Channel 4.
Having had a preview of the programme, we knew the impact would be huge, and although many of the personal stories were quite harrowing, the programme ended on an upbeat note and the coverage was very positive afterward.
The Menopause Charity, which was announced a couple of days later and for which Davina is a campaigning ambassador and which Samantha is helping in regards all things sex, is providing free of charge training to GPs and thousands of healthcare professionals have already signed up to take advantage of this programme.
If you haven’t seen the programme, head on over to All 4 or Channel4.com.

]]>Last weekend on Instagram we reintroduced the people behind Jo Divine as part of National Career’s Week. Samantha and Paul have been running Jo Divine since 2007, but if you’d have told me in 2007 that one day I’d be working for a sex-toy website, I would never have believed you. How times change! And how glad am I that they do.
So, this week we have a whole lot of fun for you.
Firstly, we have a couple of amazing new products to share with you: the Rocks Off Havana vibrator, and another fantastic lube from SUTIL. Below, you will find a personal (but unofficial!) review of the Havana, and a video that shows you just how rich SUTIL Rich is, and how it compares to SUTIL’s Luxe lube. You can try some free SUTIL Luxe or Rich this week too – check out the special offer below.
Then we two new articles for you. The first – 5 Ways to Improve your Sex Life – does exactly what it says on the tin, and the second – Creating an Intimacy Bag – is full of advice on how to make sure pleasure is accessible to you whoever and wherever you are.
Here goes…
The Rocks Off Havana – available in gold or lilac – is the perfect partner for internal pleasure and intense clitoral stimulation. It’s a rechargeable vibrator that is super-easy to control and is ideal for solo pleasure or with a partner!
Like all our toys, it’s made from body safe materials (metallic ABS plastic) and the slim design harnesses powerful vibrations. It has 10 pleasure settings, satisfying beginners and experienced users alike. It’s also brilliant value at just £37.99.
The Havana is waterproof, making bath time much more fun!
I’ve had lots of sex toys to try since I started working for Jo Divine, but I was amazed by how powerful and pleasurable this simple rechargeable toy actually is.
The practical stuff: the Havana has a magnetic USB charger, which gives you 3 hours of pleasure. Its length is 14cm/5.5” and it has a circumference of 8cm/3.1”. It’s a real pocket rocket.
Well…. SUTIL Luxe has definitely made a splash(!) and we would like to now introduce you SUTIL Rich.
SUTIL Rich is a thick, velvety water-based lubricant infused with Horny Goat Weed, which is suitable for both vaginal and anal use. The extra viscosity helps it cling to your toy or partner, easing penetration and soothing dry, delicate tissues.
It contains small amounts of Horny Goat Weed — a herbal aphrodisiac, which I think is a fantastic name — that is added, along with Siberian Ginseng and Jujube nut. Traditionally these herbs are used to increase strength, energy, stamina and vitality, but they also help to boost immune functions and have natural antibiotic and antiseptic properties to fight infection. Horny Goat Weed is also a vasodilator, which promotes blood flow and increases natural lubrication.
One of our early testers said: “The first time we tried it, we could believe how much it interacted with natural lubrication, promoting a feeling of intense wetness. We’re not sure if it is the Horny Goat Weed, but whatever it was it felt very good!”
SPECIAL OFFER: Spend over £35 this week, and we’ll add a FREE 60ml SUTIL Rich or SUTIL Luxe (your choice) to your order. If you are a first time SUTIL user, we’d recommend trying Luxe (or both!) first.
Offer runs through to the end of Monday 15th March.
To obtain the offer:
SUTIL Rich is incredibly long-lasting and perfect for activities that require a bit of extra slip & slide (such as anal sex) and for those who love big toys.
Like all SUTIL products (and all the lubes we sell), it’s paraben, glycerin and glycol free. SUTIL is made with the finest botanical Eco-Certified Ingredients. It’s vegan, gluten-free and also comes packaged in a biodegradable tube. Because it’s water-based, it’s safe to use with all condoms and is toy-friendly yet still manages to be luxuriously silky, blending seamlessly with your own natural body fluids.
We’d LOVE to know what you think of it!
Here is a video to show you just how thick and rich SUTIL Rich is, and how it compares to SUTIL Luxe
New on the blog this week, we discuss some great ways to improve your sex life. We think that sex is meant to be a lot of things: noisy, messy, consensual, pleasurable and most of all fun. But we also know that many people find that their sex life becomes boring over time.
However, it doesn’t have to! There are a few things you can do in order to change that. In this article, we share some tips, that include: talking to your partner; sharing and exploring fantasies; using good sexual lubricants (see above!) and sex toys; seeking medical advice if you experience sexual issues including painful sex, low libido, decreased sexual sensation or erectile dysfunction; and getting regular sexual health checks.
Click here to read the article in full.
Also, new on the blog, we have Samantha’s brand-new article that tells you all about how to create your own “intimacy bag”. At Jo Divine, we help many people to regain their sexual function and enjoy good sexual health, intimacy and pleasure after life-changing experiences such as cancer.
An intimacy bag can be a great way to make sure you have everything you need on hand. Our advice includes using a good vaginal moisturiser, good sexual lubricants (which are free from any irritating ingredients), suitable sex toys and our silky smooth silicone dilator kit, all of which can help people regain their sexual function and enjoy pleasurable sex in whatever way they want or are able to.
I tend to keep a tube of SUTIL lube, whichever vibrator(s) I’m currently most excited by, some Glucogel (I have type 1 diabetes, so this is in case my blood sugars drop), as well as condoms (and occasionally a ball gag!) in mine…

]]>Anyway, enough about me, because we’ve got some great things in store for you this week.
First up, we have a fabulous new LELO toy – the Soraya 2 with all the details of the toy and the incredible “£80 off” offer can be found below. I’ve uploaded an unboxing video, so you can see my reaction to how it looks and feels (in my hands, only, of course!) We’re so excited to be able to offer you this amazing product at such a reduced price – over 40% off – and we hope you love it as much as we do.
Secondly, we have Alice Hunter’s incredible article about whether or not group sex is something that humans are naturally drawn to. I loved reading this article and learned loads about human behaviour as well as some super interesting facts about why our bodies are the way they are.
So without further ado… let’s dive in.
LELO have outdone themselves this time… the Soraya 2 has been specifically redesigned to target the G-spot in as many people as possible. How did they do this? Using ultrasound to build an accurate image of intimate anatomy. Mind blown.
Soraya 2 is the world’s most luxurious rechargeable rabbit vibrator that offers optimized dual-stimulation for both clitoral and G-spot orgasm, on a whole new level. With its luxurious design and unmistakable shape, this dual-action massager redefines total satisfaction, combining simultaneous G-spot and clitoral stimulation.
The broader and thicker sculpted tip is perfect for deeply fulfilling G-spot stimulation whilst the fully-flexible external stimulator has been skilfully recalculated from a 37° angle to a 27° angle to fit perfectly to every body type. The ergonomic handle makes it easy to hold whilst the three button interface is a dream to control.
With 12 whisper quiet pleasure settings and 12 speeds ranging from a teasing purr to a satisfying rumbling pulse, this dual stimulation waterproof Rabbit has 2 powerful motors, one in the shaft and one in the flexible finger, which work independently for clitoral play or internal pleasure and together for blended orgasms. With so many pleasure settings you’ll have plenty of fun discovering the perfect one for yourself or a partner.
INTRODUCTORY OFFER: The LELO Soraya 2 usually retails at £188.99 but we have a UK exclusive of £70 off until the end of April. Even better until Monday 8th March we are offering an additional £10 saving making a total saving of £80 until Monday!

The latest article from Eleni certainly raised a bit of a storm on Instagram when she asked “Would you watch your partner have sex with someone else?”.
The thought of seeing someone you love having sex with someone else is normally filled with negative connotations: catching a cheating spouse and the jealousy, anger, hurt, betrayal and all that goes alongside it. But… what if watching your partner with someone else was a choice? How would you feel then?
Eleni spoke to a number of people who have done just that – click here to read the article.
