Harry Styles was 'very behind' his lifestyle brand Pleasing expanding to include X-rated products, says Zoë Ligon who designed sex toys with the singer
Harry Styles sent fans into a frenzy this week after dropping his own range of vibrating sex toys and lubricants in a shock career move. And according to sex educator and author Zoe Ligon, who helped create the product line, the singer was 'very behind' his lifestyle brand Pleasing expanding into the world of sexual wellness. She told The Times: 'I know that he was very behind the project. He does very explicitly talk about sex in this music and I like the way that this person is wearing what they want to wear, looking fabulous. I think he has such a positive presence as a celebrity.' Speaking about her role and how it came about, she continued: 'I kind of worked on the guts. This motor feels good, it needs more battery power, user-testing it. 'A mutual friend put me in touch with the team and, honestly, so much of the early conversations were broad conversations about sex and how to approach the category. It took us a little while to decide exactly what we wanted to do. 'I would nudge and guide and suggest things but ultimately I said, "This is whatever you want it to be" - the design was their idea. I would get the first sample, try it out, say, "This needs to be tweaked, that needs to be tweaked."' According to sex educator and author Zoe Ligon (pictured), who helped create the product line, the singer was 'very behind' his lifestyle brand Pleasing expanding into the world of sexual wellness Harry launched his brand Pleasing in 2021 with a line of vegan-friendly nail polishes and lip and eye serums. And now the popstar's unisex lifestyle brand has dropped two sexual wellness products. The products include The Pleasing Double-Sided Vibrator (£51) and The Pleasing Lube (£19). These new offerings are being paired with a pop-up experience. 'Come explore our three-day pop-up in New York City where your journey begins with a moment to yourself before discovering the new collection, alongside Pleasing bestsellers and a few special surprises,' the Pleasing site reads. 'No small talk here, Pleasing Yourself favors presence over performance.' The new drop was promoted in a series of three ads: two posted yesterday before it was confirmed that he was dropping sex toys, and then one on the day of the drop. But fans were speculating from the first ad that Harry was thinking of releasing a sexual wellness line. x The first video shows a glass of milk being slammed down onto a table, and someone using Morse code to send a message (no one has been able to decipher it yet, with some fans even saying it's a gibberish message). Harry reposted this video onto his stories, his first upload in quite some time. The next ad shows a series of phones ringing and vibrating, and Harry's hands finally reach out to pick up a phone. In the newest ad, Harry writes down 'Please yourself like you mean it' on a diner-style check and then reads the same line aloud. And fans have been sent into a frenzy as a result - with many shocked that he has released an X-rated line before new music. Commenting on Pleasing's Instagram, fans said: 'Harry styles adult toys before HS4? Bros priorities,'; 'Button, milk, gasp. he'll drop sexual wellness products. 18+ only,'; 'We about to get adult toys before HS4,'; 'Is this something sex related? Like sex toys or lubricants related? lol sorry,'; 'Adult toys before hs4 is kinda crazy guys,'; The products include The Pleasing Double-Sided Vibrator (£51) and The Pleasing Lube (£19) 'Instead of being in the studio we get s3x toys from harry... okay?'; 'I smell harry flavored lubricants hahahaha,'; 'S3x toys?'; 'Harry showing up just to advertise the vibrator,'; 'Pleasing vibrators here we come.' Meanwhile taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans added: 'No it's just too funny for me to think that harry styles will release sex toys and lubricants on the brand he founded... like "oh what does pleasing sell?" "oh you see we have nail polish, perfumes, apparel, some face/lip products, vibrators and dildos oh and of course lube" 'Can't believe harry styles started in a boyband and ended up selling vibrators. proud of his growth in every sense,'; 'Never did I think we'd be getting a Harry styles vibrator but here we are,'; 'Harry styles is releasing a vibrator and you expect me to move on with my day?!' It comes after Harry partied into the early hours with pals at Glastonbury last month, where he was seen getting very close to 28-year-old producer Ella Kenny. Now, fans of the Watermelon Sugar hitmaker are convinced they have figured out exactly what Pleasing are launching - and it's raunchy Meanwhile taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans added: 'No it's just too funny for me to think that harry styles will release sex toys and lubricants' In a video obtained by The Sun, the pair could be seen sharing an intimate kiss on the dance floor, sending Harry's impassioned fans wild. Bournemouth University graduate Ella put on a leggy display in a pair of tiny black short and a simple white button-up shirt as she wrapped an arm around friends Nia Archives and Jessica Skeete-Cross. DJ and singer-songwriter Nia is a prominent star on the drum'n'bass scene, having been nominated for a Brit Award and Mercury Prize and opened for Beyoncé during her 2023 Renaissance tour. While Jessica is a stylist for ES Magazine, who has worked with big names like Maya Jama , Robert Pattison, Letitia Wright , Cara Delevingne and in an interesting twist - Harry's ex-girlfriend, Taylor Russell. Taylor and Harry dated for 14 months, reportedly striking up their romance in March 2023, before their split in May last year. During their relationship, the actress appeared on the cover of ES Magazine in November 2023, which Jessica styled and proudly shared to her Instagram. Ella is a producer who has worked at a studio in London for around three years, producing 'crossplatform content' for businesses such as record companies and fashion brands. She has worked alongside Nia, as well as produced music videos for artists such as Rachel Chinouriri, and Slow Thai, as well as Anne-Marie and Aitch's huge hit PSYCHO. She and Harry already knew each other prior to the festival, but it remains unknown if their passionate exchange was a one-off. Reportedly, the Watermelon Sugar star was in the VIP section with a group of pals when Ella arrived and kissed him on the cheek multiple times, before he led her to the dance floor where they shared their very public smooch. Speaking about the kiss to The Sun , a source said: 'Harry and Ella had fun together at Glastonbury and shared a kiss on the dancefloor. 'They had a good time in the moment but it doesn't mean it will evolve into anything. They just got on and had a snog. 'But she seems like a normal, down-to-earth girl which is different from some of the big stars he's dated before.'

'Tastes like strawberries on a summer evening': Fans have VERY interesting reactions Harry Styles' sex toy era
We have no clue why a part of the internet is SO worked up over former teen heartthrob Harry Styles attempting to break into the sex toy scene, but it makes complete sense to us? Harry Styles' entrepreneurial gamble Pleasing is the name of the brand and the vibe is very indie, very western, very chic. Also very expensive. And the mission statement? Crisp: 'An invitation to please yourself like you mean it. Pleasing Yourself is the result of our radical pursuit of that which feels good', reads the website. Reactions are ranging from wild to thirsty to excitement (?). "Tastes like strawberries on a summer evenin", "My teenage self could have never processed this😭😭😭", "Harry we haven't seen you in YEARRSSSS and you drop this instead of a new album😭😭", "Weird AF", "does anyone else feel the rumbling resurrection of all wattpad fanfic authors or is it just me", "Anything but a new album 😭😭", "Wow, can't believe this, My favourite one direction member do that sh't" and "Does it taste like watermelon sugar? 🍉" read a few comments. Coming to how much it's going to hurt, erm, cost your wallet, the Pleasing Double Sided Vibrator will retail for $68 (which is almost ₹ ₹6,000), and The Pleasing Lube will retail for $25 (a little more than ₹ ₹2000). Fans seem quite astounded as to how Harry has the time for entrepreneurship but not a new album, but on the horizon, it looks like the eccentric popstar isn't feeling all that musically inclined. And so he's come up with another way to make his fans happy — pun intended. Coming back to the business of pleasing, are there more products up for a launch? Is Harry going to turn into a sexed-up entrepreneur? Well we gotta wait it out.

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.

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)!"

On 24th July 2025 (Thursday), the pop star unveiled the new line of products on the Pleasing website. Harry has been teasing the launch in the past few days, with fans quickly picking up that it was for adult toys, given the age restriction on the website. The 'Pleasing Yourself' collection features two products, or 'intimacy tools' as the website puts it: the 'Pleasing Double-Sided Vibrator' and 'The Pleasing Lube'. According to reports, the launch of NSFW items under Pleasing is part of the lifestyle brand's 'radical pursuit of that which feels good'. The vibrator was designed in partnership with sex educator and author Zoë Ligon to 'delight a kaleidoscope of bodies, desires and curiosities'. The electronic tool is priced at RM303 and will be available to order soon, along with the lube, priced at RM112 for 100ml. Pleasing was launched in November 2021 and began as a gender-neutral skin and nail care brand. Since then, the brand has released other products, including apparel, accessories and fragrances. As part of its newest launch, the brand is also holding a pop-up in New York City, called 'The Pleasing Pleasure Shop'. According to the announcement post, the pop-up is a 'first-of-its-kind Pleasing experience'. Fans have since reacted to Harry's new line of products, mostly expressing amusement. While some were initially surprised, they added that the launch seemed suitable for Harry's image and branding, given his advocacy for self-love. Others also joked about the new products, quipping that the singer is releasing adult toys before a new album. However, some did express concern about the price tag of the products, noting that it's rather pricey. Regardless of the comments, you have to admit that this is an interesting launch for a global pop star like Harry Styles.
