Shoppers can bag a bargain as sexual wellness brand unveils sale
Designed by women, for women, Smile Makers helps people get more out of their sex lives and has just launched a site-wide sale
Despite decades of work put into demystifying sex and reducing taboos around pleasure, plenty of people find themselves not knowing where to begin when it comes to improving their sex lives. Whether its adding some spice to time spent with a partner, or self-exploration during some alone time, the right sex toy can make all the difference - and that's where Smile Makers comes in.
Described as 'pioneers in female sexual wellness,' Smile Makers researches, designs and tests elegant sex toys and accessories that proudly celebrate pleasure and has put its products front and centre in big-name shops like Selfridges, Urban Outfitters and Sephora. Now, shoppers looking for a new pleasure product can enjoy 20% off site-wide on all of Smile Makers' catalogue as part of a campaign improve wellbeing through self care.
With a team consisting of 75% women, female pleasure is at the heart of everything Smile Makers does - and they create products that they hope shoppers will proudly display on their nightstand, rather than feeling the need to hide in a dusty corner under the bed.
For shoppers who don't know where to start when it comes to shopping for sex toys, the brand has put together a handy quiz that helps to narrow down the products that might work best. Alternatively, browsing the best-rated products list is always a good idea, with plenty of reviews from real users to help shoppers decide what might work for them.
There's even a whole page dedicated to vibrators for beginners. The Billionaire - a simple bullet vibrator that can be used externally or internally - is £39.96 after the 20% discount is applied, and packs a punch with four speeds, two pulsation modes, and a waterproof design.
Those looking for something a little more intense could try The Tennis Pro, a G spot vibrator with an angled head and flexible neck and a battery that lasts for three hours between charges. This one is also £39.96 after discount.
Alternatively, a more delicate experience is offered by The Whisperer, a lipstick vibrator that's designed for new mums to enjoy a gentle reintroduction to pleasure. That said, it's great for anyone who wants a more subtle session - and at £27.96 after the 20% discount, it could be a great way to test the waters without spending lots of cash.
There are plenty of pleasure emporiums to explore beyond Smile Makers, too. Lovehoney, which claims to have the largest selection of sex toys in the UK, truly has something for everyone - and there are often great discounts to be had, too while on the high street Ann Summers also has a decent range of sex toys and accessories.
That said, Smile Makers' range has lots of great reviews from happy customers. One buyer of The Tennis Pro said: "I honestly didn't know what to expect. It's my first vibrator and my expectations were kind of mid. I was pleasantly surprised. I'm still exploring and discovering, but so far so good."
Another said: "A good starting toy to begin this vibe-y journey of mine. Not too intimidating and many modes for when you feel confident enough."
The Whisperer has received a unanimous set of 72 five-star reviews with one shopper praising it as 'silent, discreet and powerful.' Another said: "I am so so in love with this new vibrator. It is the most perfect size but I love all the different settings. It's super soft and squishy which I love because it almost feels gentle like skin. My new go to."
However, these are very personal purchases and don't always work for everyone. One buyer of The Tennis Pro said: "A bit stronger would have been lovely."
Overall across all the different products on their site, Smilemakers has an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars based on 1,849 reviews with shoppers praising the designs, price and variety of items on offer.
To get the 20% discount site wide shoppers simply use the code SELFCARE20 on any purchase before 11.59pm on July 7, 2025. The code can't be combined with any other promotions, discounts, or bundles and is a one-time use per customer.

Finance expert reveals why Hailey Bieber hasn't actually made a billion dollars after Rhode deal
Hailey Bieber may have just sold her skincare brand Rhode in a jaw-dropping $1 billion deal - but that doesn't actually make her a billionaire. According to finance expert Caroline Beggs, who has built up a loyal following on TikTok, the model and entrepreneur, 28, is far from hitting the ten-figure status. The real number she is taking home is likely closer to $242 million. Beggs, who boasts an MBA from Stanford and experience in high-level finance, broke down the numbers behind the massive sale of Rhode to e.l.f. Beauty. 'I can't last another second having you think that Haley Bieber is a billionaire, so let me explain to you why,' she began the video. She explained that while the sale was valued at $1 billion, $200 million of that is tied up in what's called an 'earn out.' This means Rhode has to hit certain goals over the next three years for anyone to see that money. The brand was backed by outside investors, including ONE Luxury Group and a few small angel investors. 'These types of investors get preferential treatment in these payouts and are often guaranteed returns before money gets to lower priority investors. This is what's called a liquidation preference,' she explained. Even if they only owned 20 percent of the company, they could take home 25 percent of the proceeds. The company also has about 50 employees, including co-founders Lauren and Michael Ratner, and Beggs estimates they may collectively own 10 percent of Rhode. If you take away investor and employee equity, Hailey might walk away with around $520 million. But it doesn't stop there. A quarter of that payout could be in e.l.f. stock, which is likely under a lockup period, meaning she can't cash it for six months to two years. Beggs also explained that the stock price could drop by the time she can sell. Then come the taxes as a resident of California, including federal and state rates, which means nearly 38 percent of her payout could go to taxes. After all of that, Hailey is left with about $242 million, which is an enormous sum, but still far from billionaire status. 'She is definitely not a billionaire yet. Let's see how e.l.f's stock price does after the acquisition,' the creator said. 'That's probably Hailey's best bet of being a billionaire right now unless Justin wants to go on tour.' On May 28, Hailey announced she sold Rhode to e.l.f cosmetics in a $1 billion deal. Bieber launched her much-anticipated brand in June 2022, releasing only three products at the time - Peptide Glazing Fluid, Barrier Restore Cream, and Peptide Lip Treatment. 'When I launched @rhode in 2022, I always had big dreams for the company, and the most important thing to me is to keep bringing rhode to more spaces, places, and faces globally,' she wrote in the caption of an Instagram post celebrating the news. 'So today I am so incredibly excited and proud to announce that we are partnering with e.l.f. Beauty as we step into this next chapter in the world of rhode. 'I found a like-minded disruptor with a vision to be a different kind of company that believes in big ideas and innovation in the same way that I do and will help us continue to grow the brand,' her message continued. 'I feel invigorated, excited, and more ready than ever to step into an even bigger role as Chief Creative Officer, and Head of Innovation of rhode as well as strategic advisor to e.l.f. Beauty.' Hailey will still serve as founder of the brand, and Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation, according to Business Wire.
