A horrified mother claims body wash her 12-year-old daughter received for Christmas is ‘encouraging her to have sex’.
Awkward.
Lesley Hughes said she was furious when Jennifer’s shower gel instructed her to ‘find someone you really like and invite them into the shower with you’ in its ‘how to use’ section.
The 49-year-old mum-of-three, claims that the pink, glittery Lush ‘Snow Fairy’ toiletry was sold to her elder daughter Shelley, 22, as the ‘perfect Christmas present for a 12-year-old girl’.
She added that the smutty joke would be more appropriate on an Ann Summers product.

Lesley from Cornwall, said: ‘I spend a lot of money in Lush – we love their stuff and we love what they are about – and Jennifer got lots of different Lush products for Christmas.
‘She only opened it the other day, but as she gets skin problems I asked to have a look at the Snow Fairy label to check the ingredients.
‘As soon as Jennifer saw my face, she said “what’s up?”. My exact words were “what the hell?”.
‘She read it and asked me why that was on there. It was the look of disbelief on her face – she said “Why would I invite someone else into my shower with me?”. She didn’t understand.
‘A lot of people have told me to get a life and said it doesn’t mean sex, but for them to even say that it is clearly the first thing that they thought, which shows that’s exactly what it means.
‘I just want Lush to change the label. It definitely will be causing a lot of awkward questions for parents up and down the country.’
In full, the ‘how you use’ section on the packaging states: ‘If you really don’t know how, then we suggest you find someone you really like and invite them into the shower with you to demonstrate’.
A spokesman for Lush said: ‘While we take our products and their ingredients seriously, we try not to take ourselves too seriously and like to have humour at the heart of everything we do.
‘Our humour is very traditionally British – sometimes in the style of seaside postcards and Christmas pantomime, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, often self-deprecating.
‘Our customers tend to have an innate understanding of this style of humour.
‘It is never our intention to offend, but as with all humour not everyone will find the same things funny.’
