TRYING out Poundland's new 'cut price Viagra' was too good an opportunity to miss for 23-year-old Amy* and her longterm boyfriend.

After seeing the discount chain's new herbal supplements being discussed by pals on Facebook, she decided that they sounded like the perfect addition to a Saturday night in for the couple.

But for Amy and her 30-year-old boyfriend, they ended up being more giggle than sizzle.

Speaking to The Sun Online, Amy revealed that she visited her local Poundland in Sheffield to pick up a box each of the male and female Nooky pills.

She said: "I'd seen people talking about them all over Facebook and I thought when I'm down town I'll go and have a look.

"I saw it was his and hers and thought I'd get one each and see where we go from there.

"I've been with my partner for years and we love to experiment and try new things, and I thought that these might spice things up a bit.

"The Nooky tablets seemed really popular there were quite a lot gone."

On her way home she popped in to Iceland to pick up the finishing touches for her romantic night in, a Chicago Town Manhattan Meaty pizza and potato wedges.

But little did she know that her dinner would prove to be the spiciest part of the evening.

Amy explained: "On the packet it says to take the pills on an empty stomach, so we waited for two hours after we'd had our tea and took two each.

"It said to wait 40 minutes, so I timed it from 8 o'clock."

With time ticking, the couple sat back in anticipation - but neither felt even a tingle.

Poundland claims that the all-natural capsules can increase libido and sexual performance, and is part of a new adult range rolled out in its 896 stores that also includes sex toys and £1 vibrators.

On the packaging it recommends customers "pop two pills before playtime and say hello to fun times".

It also promises men that the blue tablets will let them "drive hard and push your potential to the max... stay strong and enjoy longer."

Expectations were high, partially due to the similarity to erection boosting tablet Viagra, which are also small blue tablets.

However, Viagra is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, while Poundland's Nooky is a herbal concoction designed to boost libido.

Amy explained that the fun times seemed a bit late in arriving, and soon it was 9pm without either her or her boyfriend feeling so much as a twitch.

Staying positive, the couple decided to just Netflix and chill as they waited for their cheap thrill... but it never came.

She said: "The film ended and still there was still nothing so we just laughed it off and went to bed."

While Amy's £2 didn't bring her an explosive rampant romp, she did admit it brought her and her partner closer together.

She laughed: "The tablets had no effect on us at all, not even a tingle, but we still had a nice night.

"We both found the whole experience really funny, so I guess the pills did bring us closer together in a way."

Now the couple are on the lookout for "proper sex pills" as they continue pushing sexual boundaries and exploring each other's fantasies.

*Not her real name

Representatives for Poundland have been approached for comment.

Last year a sex expert put Poundland's £1 vibrator to the test but claimed it "rattled like a pensioner's false teeth".

And it's not only sex toys and virility tablets for sale at the discount chain store, check out their version of a Toblerone.
