This is the one thing that Love Island contestants are banned from bringing into the villa
It all makes sense!

It all makes sense!
Love Island 2018 is underway and while a lot of us thought we’d be watching it ironically (this writer included), we’re now hooked.
We want the water bottle with our name on, the endless beauty supply, but more than anything we want Jack Fincham as our boyfriend – don’t worry though, we’d never do that to Dani!
Yes, everyone’s desperate to get into that villa, with it even emerging this week that some people are going to extreme lengths - with it reported that there are at least five attempted break ins on the villa every day.
But for the contestants who actually are allowed in the villa, there are apparently a few rules, from no smoking in public areas and no masturbating, to no nudity and no drunken or unsafe sex.
One reported rule that we didn’t expect however was no paper and pens, with islanders reportedly banned from bringing the items into the Majorcan villa.
While the rule may seem odd, it does make sense - being able to write secret notes would deter islanders from having difficult conversations in public, something that makes the show more watchable.

Of course there are ways around it - when Zara left the villa last month, BFF Ellie wrote her a note to put in her suitcase, writing with eyeliner on a piece of toilet roll. But on the whole, the islanders are just encouraged to say what they’re feeling.
