      Perfect toy Mindblowing, partner-friendly and vibrating
      Reason for applying I'm willing to try anything twice, I'm always looking at new toys that come onto the market and will try anything with an open mind. I'm interested in seeing toys that are different and hopefully something I've never seen before.

    Tracey Cox Supersex Massager Vibrator

    Tracey Cox Supersex Massager Vibrator

    I wasn't very impressed with this vibrator. It was very basic and the material didn't appeal. Hard plastic with a slight velvety feel... not exactly what does it for me. The vibrations are good but there isn't any variety. I do enjoy the fact it's waterproof, definitely a bonus, but all in all I wasn't that excited about the toy. It's good value for money if you're looking for something with a gentle vibration (though it does increase) or you find bullet-style toys too small to handle. Though as the name suggests, it's great for massages.

    We-Vibe II Clitoral and G-Spot Vibrator

    We-Vibe II Clitoral and G-Spot Vibrator

    I was a little unsure about this toy when I first saw it. There were so many good reviews so I was hopeful. Rightly so, it hits all the right places and delivers an explosive orgasm, solo and with a partner, but I still don't think it's worth the price. It's definitely innovative, I've not seen anything else like it, but you could easily get the same sensations with a rabbit-style toy. Admittedly, it cannot be replaced when it comes to using the toy with a partner though. A little bit of confusion to begin with but fantastic sensations for both parties in the end.

    Lelo Mia USB Rechargeable Vibrator

    Lelo Mia USB Rechargeable Vibrator

    The fact you can charge the Lelo Mia via the computer is amazing. It really does show just what life is like at the moment - charging vibrators via USB, busy women, girls on the go. I admit, that is the best thing about this toy. I found it very simple and basic, there isn't a lot of choice when it comes to vibrations, and I found the USB charging port cover came off way too easily. The fact the toy isn't waterproof is disappointing as you'd expect such things with the price. It is something that you can easily travel with though. It's small enough to fit in a handbag and you can easily pass it off as a USB memory stick.

    Beginners Basic Vibrating Finger Ring

    Beginners Basic Vibrating Finger Ring

    It took me a while to figure out how on earth to turn this toy on. The switch is very well hidden but I recommend studying it before getting into the swing of things. The difficulty of finding the 'on' button does spoil the moment slightly but once you get it, the sensation is lovely. It's made of a lovely, squishy material, feels especially nice if used with lubricant and makes it very easy to slide onto your finger. It's great to use all over the body and can be worn by your partner for extra excitement.

    Lovehoney Jessica Rabbit 2.0 G-Spot Vibrator

    Lovehoney Jessica Rabbit 2.0 G-Spot Vibrator

    Where have you been all my life?! This toy is great. I highly recommend that every lady should have one. I've used a rabbit toy in the past, though it was much more basic so I wasn't expecting anything much different. Boy, was I wrong. The sensation is amazing. The bend in the shaft definitely hits the spot, which I didn't find with any other toy. It is a little difficult to control the toy while in the moment, but definitely worth the fiddling (excuse the pun). I found the girth to be much thinner than other rabbit toys, which I preferred, and the different speeds and functions gave a lot of varied sensations. If there was a Jessica Rabbit 2.0 G-spot toy with the memory of a SaSi built in, we'd all be in heaven.

    SaSi by Je Joue Intelligent Rechargeable Vibrator

    SaSi by Je Joue Intelligent Rechargeable Vibrator

    This really wasn't for me. The design and idea is very clever and very impressive but it was much louder than I expected and I just couldn't get it in the right place. I think you have to be a certain size to use this, unfortunately. By the time you get the toy in the right position, it ends up moving anyway when you try to press the buttons to get the most satisfying pattern. The fact the toy remembers what you like is amazing, I think more toys should have this built in but I'm not a fan of routine so I did get a little bored. I do not think this toy is worth the price, I tried and tried to orgasm and it took around four sessions with SaSi before I had a very weak, unimpressive orgasm.

    Lovehoney 7 Function Magic Bullet 2.0 Mini Waterproof Vibrator

    Lovehoney 7 Function Magic Bullet 2.0 Mini Waterproof Vibrator

    This little bullet has a lot of power! The 7 functions give a great choice of strength but none of them are very gentle. I would recommend this if you're new to clitoral vibrators as you do have 7 sensations to choose from and, because of the price, it's something you can test out easily before moving on to bigger, more exciting toys. Unfortunately this toy is not very quiet at all. I was rather shocked at the volume such a little thing can make! Definitely not recommended if you live in a house with paper thin walls.

    Vibe Therapy Serene 7 Function Silicone Twist Vibrator

    Vibe Therapy Serene 7 Function Silicone Twist Vibrator

    I found the Serene toy a little too thick. It's not a good choice for a first toy if you've never used one before. The controls are simple to use and the silicone shaft feels great, much softer than I expected and slightly bendy to get to the G-spot. I don't think this product is any different or any more exciting than other regular vibrators. The different vibration patterns and speeds are great but there are so many other similar, cheaper, vibrators which do the job just as well. Plus, it took me a day to get the battery cover off!

    Lovehoney 10 Function Erotic Rocket Mini Vibrator

    Lovehoney 10 Function Erotic Rocket Mini Vibrator

    I think this would be a lot better if the ball bearing-style bumps on the top moved. I didn't see the point of them myself, especially because they're cold to touch and definitely give you a little bit of a chilly shock when against skin. The varied vibrations are great, something for everyone, but I think there are better toys out there. The plastic is hard and doesn't feel good against the clitoris but it feels good on other parts of the body.

    Screaming O FingO Waterproof Mini Finger Vibrator

    Screaming O FingO Waterproof Mini Finger Vibrator

    If you don't want any fuss, a toy that gets straight to the point and makes you orgasm, I recommend the Screaming O FingO. It easily slips onto you or your partner's finger and gets straight to work! The bullet only has one setting but I find it isn't too harsh due to the silicone case, which adds extra sensations altogether. The fact it's waterproof just adds to how easy and accessible this toy is. In a rush? Just use it in the shower or the bath. Completely worth the price.
