Once again, an adult retailer is reporting a spike in sales in states under lockdown.
Adulttoymegastore owner Nicola Relph says Victoria has lead Australia for sex toy sales in the last three weeks.
"Once again, we're seeing a surge in lubricant, vibrators and batteries. This seems to have coincided with our customers in Victoria staying home due to Covid-19."
"Our customers have told us they're avoiding crowds and they want something to do while they're stuck at home. They're also not on Tinder or going on dates because they're worried about COVID-19."
Sales have increased week on week in Victoria since Covid-19 cases began to increase in late June.
"This week has been our biggest week on record for Melbourne. It has overtaken the unprecedented amount of sales we had in April."
"We're hearing from our customers that they're stockpiling batteries and lubrication in case they're stuck inside due to self-isolation," Relph says. "Our customers have told us they're avoiding crowds and they want something to do while they're stuck at home. They're also not on Tinder or going on dates because they're worried about COVID-19."
This follows trends around the world. In the 48 hours before New Zealand went on national lockdown on March 25, sex toy sales tripled at Adultoymegastore. In April, Australia had a major spike in adult toy sales centred around New South Wales. At the time Adulttoymegastore Relph said the number of sales in Australia is unprecedented.
"We have never seen anything like this," she said.
"We opened in 2009 and nothing has come close to the sales we've had in Australia in the past three weeks. Australians are well and truly choosing to enjoy their lockdown with essential items like vibrators and lubricant."
"It shows they're staying home and they're staying apart from their partners and they're trying new things. We've seen beginner toys skyrocket in sales but also high-tech toys are selling really well too."
Sales in Victoria have now overtaken the April adult toy sales.
