Self-isolation has given us a lot more free time and while we’ve been wiling away the hours by watching back to back episodes of Tracy Beaker (and going for the occasional lunchtime jog), Love Island’s Megan Barton-Hanson has shared her own novel way of keeping boredom at bay while we’re all on lockdown.
She took to Instagram to update fans on what she’s getting up to during self-isolation and teased she was passing the time by taking nude selfies and using sex toys.
Blimey. Well, what else is there to do when all your fave telly shows have been cancelled?
Megs re-posted a meme drawn by designers Miss Gloria to her her Instagram story, with the caption, “When your weekends feel like your weekdays: s--t to do on a #lockdown 💅🏽.”
The activities included, “Take some banging nudes”, “Decide which vibrator you like best”, “Hoover your room for the 300th time”, and “Take a midday nap or two.”

It plugs into the literal wall socket so that should give you an idea as to how robust this thing is.
3 of 8Womanizer Premium
The latest in sex toy tech means stimulation through air pressure and German company Womanizer was the first to develop sucky-air technology (the technical term) in the most beautiful, palm sized toys. This bad boy offers a totally distinct experience, gently "sucking" the clitoris rather than using vibration to get you off. It's not cheap, but it's worth the money.

Order one for your other half and let him in on the fun.

8 of 8Loving Joy 20 Function Rechargeable Power Bullet Vibrator
For a purse-friendly option that's discreet but no less powerful, a classic bullet is a fail-safe option and a staple of any sex toy collection. This rechargeable one from Loving Joy delivers precise external stimulation, without the faff of tracking down tiny batteries for it.

WATCH Snog, Marry, Avoid who?! heat's Guide To Lurrrrve - #LoveIsland Girls Edition ♥️
Megan’s latest post comes just a few weeks after she was slammed as “vain” and “selfish” by some fans for seemingly making light of self-isolation guidelines.
The former Love Islander put on a very booby display as she posed in bed wearing a pair of cutesy PJs and a sultry expression – but not everyone was impressed by her antics.
One commenter shot, “I have a lot of time for you, you are beautiful… however, I’m a nurse in the NHS and feel it was an inappropriate post.
“Making light of being 'isolated' and, let’s face it, you are not… there are thousands of older people who have to isolate, there are thousands of people with autoimmune diseases that have to isolate…"
