A DISCOUNT shop is selling sex toys to randy shoppers for just £1 and it is sending social media into overdrive.

The sex toy in question is the vibrating bullet, found in high supply next to the tampons in Poundland, in High Road, Leytonstone.

We found some of the packets already opened, but the intrigue must not have been enough for the mystery shopper, who placed it back where it was.

The popular retailer, which also has shops in Palace Parade, in Walthamstow, also sells condoms and lubricant alongside the pink sex toy.

We were not the first to make the discovery, with numerous shocked shoppers taking to Twitter to express their disbelief.

A stunned Sheralee Docherty said: “Cheap thrills right enough, suppose an orgasm is an orgasm even if it's on a budget."

On its website, Poundland says it caters for 'Food & drink, kids parties & much more'.

A similar item on the Love Honey website – the Lovehoney Dream Bullet 10 Function Bullet Vibrator - currently costs a tenner.

Poundland originally launched the bullet at some stores in August 2013 and recently expanded their range to be stocked in more of the outlets.

A Poundland spokesperson said: “Alongside the bullet the range also includes various lubricants and three pack Durex and Sure 12 pack condoms, all at its famous £1 price point.

"Poundland is a responsible retailer and encourages safe sex.”
