Coronavirus boosts sex toy sales in Scandinavia
Sales of sex toys in Denmark and Norway have more than doubled in an apparent Scandinavian bid to spice up confinement,
Henry Samuel reports.
In the first six days of April, sales in Norway rose 121 per cent compared to the same period in the previous year, according to Sinful, the biggest retailer of sex toys in the Nordics.
This compared to growth of 110 per cent in Denmark, and a slightly less buoyant 78 per cent in Sweden - where lockdown is not as severe as the other two Scandinavian countries.
"We have seen an extraordinary interest in sex toys for couples," said the company's founder and co-owner Mathilde Mackowski.
"Especially our multiple-day sex challenges have been very popular, and they are our top sellers right now."
Particular favourites are "10 Day Love Challenge" or "4 Weeks of Pleasure", which resembles a Christmas calendar with a different secret product per box.
Ms Mackowski said she was pleased that her business was helping people stay sane in confinement.
