Lingerie chain adds private toy collection to its assortment
Veendam, 8 november 2022 – Lingerie chain Hunkemöller and EasyToys have selected and designed a new collection of adult toys together. Twenty Hunkemöller stores, seven of which in The Netherlands, are now adding adult toys to their lingerie assortment. Hunkemöller is the first brick and mortar chain to start selling Easytoys products.
The lingerie chain and erotic market leader have selected the most appealing products from the EasyToys assortment. Hunkemöller’s collection will be expanded with a rabbit vibrator, vibrating panties, toy cleaner, lubricant and the so-called pleasure box. This couples gift box contains a couple vibrator, massage candle, bondage rope, finger vibrator and erotic dice. The sexual wellness products can be found in the back of the Hunkemöller stores, next to the Private Collection lingerie.
Staff gets training for expert advice
To be able to give expert advice on the use of the adult toys, Hunkemöller staff has been trained by Megan Smit, product expert at EasyToys. “Adult toys are a strong addition to our Private Collection”, says Alexandra Legro, Marketing Director at Hunkemöller. “It is a perfect match with our core values: female power, self-love and inclusivity.
