Harry Styles launches sex toys range in surprising career move as fans go wild

The One Direction star has urged his adult fans to 'please yourself like you mean it' with a sex toy launch which dropped this afternoon. Harry Styles has sent fans into a frenzy after it's been announced he is dropping his own range of vibrating sex toys and lubricants in a shock career move. The One Direction star is set to release the sex toys through his brand Pleasing, which he previously launched as a unisex pop up in 2021 selling nail varnishes. ‌ Pleasing has since expanded and has become an online shop with a permanent retail deal with Selfridges in London. The shop currently sells a range of perfumes, lip balms, tote bags, t-shirts, scarves and now sex toys. ‌ Teasing a new launch on the website, Pleasing had informed fans: "Something Pleasing, Coming Soon.' Pretty innocuous, right? This page is intended for individuals 18 years of age and older." ‌ The website then confirmed the launch later today with the message: "An invitation to please yourself like you mean it. Pleasing Yourself is the result of our radical pursuit of that which feels good. Two intimacy tools, The Pleasing Double-Sided Vibrator and the Pleasing Lube, that put pleasure exactly where it belongs, in your hands." The cheeky collection, which is called Pleasing Yourself, will become available today on July 25 with The Please Double-Sided Vibrator and The Pleasing Lube, which have been 'designed as an open invitation to explore that which makes you feel good.' ‌ Pleasing stated that the £68 double vibrator is 'as intuitively functional as it is aesthetically distinct' and perfect to stimulate 'wherever feels good, from erogenous zones to anywhere craving extra attention.' Meanwhile, the £25 silicone lubricant promises to offer 'long-lasting moisture and a silky glide with zero glycerin'. The brand states the items are intended to be used by people 18 years or older. Both products are available to pre-order now. ‌ Pleasing encourages fans to be the first to sign up to learn more about the launch by providing their contact information.

On social media, Pleasing also shared some promotional adverts which sent fans wild. The first post showed a business card for 'Something Pleasing' being slotted into a flip calendar. ‌ The caption read: "You forgot 251 Elizabeth Street N.Y.C. 25th of July." The second showed a clip of a finger tapping out Morse code on a Telegraph key with a glass of milk in the background. ‌ A woman is seen pressing her ear against a door and then gasps when the code finishes. The caption reads: "For those playing at home" with a New York address and a date for July 25- 27. A third video is of a woman dialling a phone. A mobile can then be heard vibrating on a couch before several other phones began vibrating, answered with a gasp or a moan. ‌ Finally, the shot cut to a red dial-up phone with what appears to be Harry's tattooed hand picking up the phone to answer the call. The caption says: "Say that again." His stylist Harry Lambert, who is als the brand's creative director, said: 'Pleasing Yourself is something we want our community to do — to love themselves, look after themselves, treat themselves, and please themselves. ‌ "Sexual wellness is such an important part of a person's overall well-being, and is something we're proud to embrace and speak about openly.' Fans rushed to social media to have their say on the launch. One wrote: "My bingo card did not include my first ever Harry Styles merch in 2025 being literal vibrators." Another chimed in: "Woah I missed a chapter Harry Styles is selling what now?" A third excited fan exclaimed: "Harry styles pleasing vibrator rumours got my kicking my feet (i will be buying it)!"
