Is the Harry Styles Vibrator Worth It?

Harry Styles’ lifestyle brand Pleasing just released a double-ended vibrator — and naturally, the internet lit up. It's pink, it's sleek, and it's priced at £68. But behind the aesthetics and the fandom buzz, one question remains: is this vibrator actually better than the ones trusted brands have spent years perfecting?

The Hype: A Celebrity Enters the Bedroom

The vibrator is part of Pleasing’s new "Pleasing Yourself" collection, created in collaboration with respected sex educator Zoë Ligon. It’s being marketed as inclusive, joyful, and stigma-breaking — and that’s great to see in mainstream spaces.

But let’s not pretend this launch would be making global headlines if it didn’t have Harry Styles’ name attached. The design may be thoughtful, but the media attention? That’s pure celebrity power.

What £68 *Should* Get You in a Vibrator

  • Deep, rumbly vibration — not just soft buzz
  • Body-safe, medical-grade silicone
  • Magnetic or USB charging — not fiddly battery slots
  • Quiet operation — especially for shared spaces
  • Intuitive controls and ergonomic shape

There are plenty of vibrators under £60 that offer all of this — without the need for a celebrity rollout.

When Branding Outshines Quality

The most frustrating part? It's not about whether the product works — it’s about how easily the spotlight falls on celebrities while independent brands work their socks off to earn visibility.

Musicians, actors, influencers… they’ve already got multi-million-pound careers. But now even the sexual wellness industry has become another celebrity side hustle. And for small businesses who’ve spent years building credibility, it’s exhausting to compete with star power.

Because no matter how well a product is designed — when a pop star puts their name on it, that’s what gets the clicks. Not the specs. Not the experience. The name.

What Actually Matters in a Vibrator

If you’re shopping for real satisfaction — not just branding — here’s what to look for:

  • Strong, rumbly vibrations that actually feel good
  • Noise level under 50dB for discreet pleasure
  • Silky, body-safe silicone with no latex or phthalates
  • Rechargeable and waterproof for easy, safe use

And most importantly: does it work with your body — not just someone else's marketing campaign?
