Lovehoney Magic Bullet Vibrator
- (AD) Lovehoney Magic Bullet Vibrator, £12.99 from Lovehoney –
Pros: Price, seven vibration patterns, three speeds, waterproof
Cons: Not rechargeable
Rating: 4/5
This is an ideal introduction if you’re new to sex toys as it’s inexpensive – and costs the same as a couple of coffees – so you’re not going to be upset if you don’t like it.
Chances are you will though, like it that is.
The Magic Bullet Vibrator has three speeds and seven different patterns so you can work your way through them to find your favourites. Be warned, it is a little noisy, with a couple of the patterns having a distinct disco beat that frankly, is a little off-putting (who needs an earworm at a time like this!)
Otherwise, it performs well with a lot of oomph for the price and it’s waterproof. It’s also petite so fits easily into your bedside drawer or toiletry bag for trips away.
It’s not rechargeable though and takes an AAA battery, which is a downside, but to be expected for such a low cost.

Lelo Sona 2 Cruise
- Lelo Sona 2 Cruise, £97.01 (on offer) from LELO -
Pros: Unique SenSonic Technology, 100% waterproof, 8 varied modes to choose from, discreet packaging
Cons: Can be intense to begin with, difficult to vary the pressure, some settings are quite loud
Rating: 5/5
Like the Womanizer Premium Eco, the Lelo Sona 2 uses its own advanced patented technology for the ultimate external stimulation.
It works by sending sonic waves to your erogenous zones to amplify the depth and quality of your climaxes. And it's powerful, something definitely worth considering before you buy because the strength is not for everyone.
It's even 100% waterproof if you fancy taking it with you into the bath, shower or any other appropriate body of water. Want to find out more?

Lovense Lush 3 Egg Vibrator
Lovense Lush 3 Egg Vibrator, £109
Pros: Quiet, magnetic charger, up to five hours charge, waterproof, unlimited vibrations using the phone app, remote use, sync to music
Cons: Price, basic instruction leaflet (have to go to website for full instructions)
Rating: 4.5/5
Use this G-spot vibrator on its own with the on/off button to scroll through the power levels and vibration patterns, or download the app for unlimited patterns and easy control of the intensity.
The accompanying leaflet is mainly pictures and you have to go to the website for the user manual, but I would have liked more detailed instructions. The images on the website also didn’t match the downloaded app, so it took a bit of playing around with to get the hang of everything. Still, I think that’s part of the fun when you’re getting to know something like this.
I love that you have the extra options on the app though – including a remote control for your partner to play, too. You can even sync your favourite music to it.
The vibrator itself is comfortable to wear and pretty much stays in place; it’s also waterproof and at 43dB is relatively quiet so you can wear it outside (within reason, a quiet office perhaps not).
I think this is a great toy for novices as it’s doesn’t look the least bit intimidating, though it is a little on the pricey side.
Size: 135 x 75 x 38mm, Weight: Unknown, Material: Body-safe silicone, Charging: USB rechargeable with up to five hours play on a full charge
We-Vibe x Lovehoney Remote Control Clitoral and G-Spot Vibrator
- We-Vibe Sync 2 Remote Control and App Rechargeable Couple's Vibrator, £149.99 from Lovehoney -
Pros: 10 varied settings for internal and external stimulation, Bluetooth remote control, can be used with a partner or alone, adjustable to your body
Cons: No plus or minus buttons to adjust the strength of vibrations, long charge time, remote isn’t waterproof, vibrations aren't particularly strong
Rating: 4/5
The collaboration of these two sex toy giants was as good as we could have hoped for.
Made to be used with another person, this has a whole range of uses, whether that's allowing your partner to control the 10 varied internal and external settings using the Bluetooth remote control, or just enjoying it alone.
The curved shape means it sits comfortably inside without moving around or falling out and hits all the right external and internal spots for a heightened orgasm.
The best thing about this toy is that because of its size, which is small, it can be used with a partner during sex so you both benefit from the vibrations.
It's rechargeable - although charging does take a hot minute - which means no batteries, but if you're looking for something with intense vibrations, this possibly isn't the toy for you, especially at just under £100.
Regardless of this, it's a fun addition to some solo time or something new to try with a partner. Want to know more? We've done a full We-Vibe review for you to check out before you buy.

Lelo Ina 3
- Lelo Ina 3, £159 from LELO –
Pros: 10 vibrating modes, 100% waterproof, soft silicone, USB charger, up to two hours on one charge
Cons: Takes a while to master the combinations of intensity with different settings, full instructions have to be downloaded from the website
Rating: 4/5
If you’re serious about your sex toys then this is the one for you. The Lelo Ina 3 offers a range of settings and power intensities that you control with the buttons on the front so you can be as gentle or as urgent as your desire demands.
Annoyingly, the instructions are online so you have to download them, but they’re pretty easy to get the hang of. You basically have four buttons that control on, off and vibration patterns. Use these in combination to increase and decrease the vibration strength and also the different patterns.
As with all rabbit vibrators, it’s a double whammy with the Ina 3 – clitoral stimulation and hitting your G-spot at the same time, hopefully resulting in that holy grail of a blended orgasm. And don’t worry if you don’t get there the first time, I can guarantee you’ll have a lot of fun trying.
Though there are only four buttons to control everything, it does take a bit of time to get used to the different combinations and changing them in use. I found the lowest vibration levels a bit of a non-event, but the highest settings can be too much. It’s trial and error until you find what works best for you.
It’s also whisper quiet, totally waterproof and it runs for up to two hours on one charge so it can keep going as long as you do.
I’m no expert, but I would say this is probably less suited to a beginner, not least because it’s a lot of money to pay if you then decide you don’t like it, but otherwise, it’s a great addition to your toy chest.

Ann Summers Moregasm+ Wave Rabbit
- Ann Summers Moregasm+ Wave Rabbit, £60 -
Pros: 20 settings each part, different speeds and rhythms chargeable
Cons: A little noisy
Rating: 4/5
Have you got the budget for something a little bit...bigger. Then snatch up the Moregasm+ Wave Rabbit from Anne Summers.
If width isn't your jam then this one might not be for you, but if you're all about that girth paired with powerful vibrations internally and externally then we've found your fighter.
Add to the equation that it's rechargeable, which means no batteries or a power cable during use and you've hit the jackpot.
For a longer review, we have also featured the Moregasm+ Wave Rabbit in our best Rabbit vibrator round-up.

Womanizer Premium Eco
- Womanizer Premium Eco, £97.99 from Lovehoney -
Pros: Biodegradable and recyclable (a world first), smart silence function, discreet, pretty packaging, rechargeable
Cons: You can’t move it around, one-trick pony, splashproof, not waterproof, can be intense
Rating: 4.5/5
The Womanizer Premium Eco is one of the most technologically advanced toys of all of our tried and tested picks. Its patented 'pleasure air technology' produces soft waves rather than vibrations, ranging from very soft to powerful.
Despite its power, it's pretty quiet and discreet if that's a factor on your sex toy list.
And, as the cherry on top, it's plastic-free and sustainable, so you can enjoy your me time knowing you're doing your bit for the planet. To read more about what we thought, check out our full Womanizer review here.

Satisfyer Pro 2
- Satisfyer Pro 2, £58.95 from Satisfyer –
Pros: Rechargeable, waterproof, has the option to be very gentle
Cons: No variation in vibration patterns, isn't super powerful even on its top setting, long initial charging time
Overall rating: 3.5/5
For an entry-level clitoral stimulator, the Satisfyer Pro 2 is up there with the best of them.
It doesn’t touch you but instead uses air pulse technology to create waves of vibration that can be adjusted between very gentle and intense.
It’s not a looker and resembles a hand-held fan, but we were impressed with how simple it was to operate – there’s a button to turn on the Satisfyer and a second button to control the speed.
There are 11 vibration settings in total and we found the first few just too gentle so jumped straight to the top four or so speeds, which gave more of a steady vibration.
Initially, the large head and fast vibration combination didn’t work, but we found that a lighter touch, which allowed the airflow to circulate more effectively, was key to successful use.
Where the lower settings came into their own was after orgasm, when you need a gentle touch and nothing too intense, so you can enjoy the moment leisurely and come back down.
The Satisfyer Pro 2 has received loads of five-star reviews from fans – and it is worth trying if you’ve not used anything like it before – however, we thought it could do with more power.
On the plus side, it’s waterproof so you can take it in the shower with you and it’s a lot cheaper than the Womanizer or the Lelo Sona clitoral stimulators, so we think it’s a great introduction to the genre.
It’s also rechargeable – but the initial charge can take up to eight hours so be prepared in advance so you’re not disappointed in the moment!

Ann Summers G-Spot Ripple Rampant Rabbit
- G-Spot Ripple Rampant Rabbit, £28 from Ann Summers -
Pros: Great for beginners, 10 settings, three vibration levels, great price
Cons: Have to go through all the options to reach your favourite, not rechargeable
Rating: 3.5/5
This Ripple Rampant Rabbit (say that after a few drinks) is a great entry point if you've never dabbled in the penetrative sex toy world before. It's affordable at under £30, which is a big bonus, and it stimulates multiple erogenous zones so, if you get there, expect a blended orgasm.
And even if you don't get there, the journey is still fun with a plethora of vibration strengths and patterns to get you going.
The only downside is it is battery-powered rather than rechargeable so make sure to stock up on those triple As before it arrives.
Intrigued but want a bit more info? We've got a longer review of the G-Spot Ripple in our best Rabbit vibrators piece.
