Tracey Cox Supersex Massager Vibrator
The Tracey Cox Supersex Massager is all that a massager vibe should be. It is the perfect shape for massaging all areas, with easy to control vibrations and it is even completely waterproof. Bath-time massage anyone? The vibrations are strong although the revs are quite low, which produces a really nice 'humming' effect. It feels fantastic both externally and internally. For girls that want to have fun, it is amazing when teamed with a clitoral vibe. A lovely non-threatening toy for couples to explore each other's erogenous zones. I had seen this toy before and was not really tempted to buy it but I have now done a complete U-turn! I would be very happy if one of these appeared in my Christmas stocking and it may, in fact, appear in the stockings of a couple of my close friends... A great massager vibe.

We-Vibe II Clitoral and G-Spot Vibrator
The We-Vibe was definitely one of the toys I was most excited about putting through its paces. I was slightly confused as to where to plug the charger into the toy but after very carefully looking at the instructions I soon figured it out. There are two vibration settings for the We-Vibe, high and low. Both levels of vibration are great. It's easy to set the speed before insertion but a bit more tricky once you're in the swing of things. The switch is inside the clitoral end of the toy and you have to push across the dots on either side to choose a setting. I found it difficult to position at first with my partner as the clitoral end kept slipping to the side. After holding it in place, however, I soon reached orgasm, which I do not usually do from penetrative sex. I personally wouldn't be comfortable wearing it out in public as I would want to be able to easily turn it off. It is, however, very quiet and discreet; it even comes with a case that is perfect for travelling. I would not buy a We-Vibe for solo play. It's a great toy to use with a partner and is definitely the best couple's toy on the market. If you want to splash out or have something completely different, then the We-Vibe is definitely a toy worth considering.

Lelo Mia USB Rechargeable Vibrator
The Lelo Mia is the most attractive toy in the Sex Toy Awards 2009, from the sleek design to the gorgeous pink light that glows whilst it is recharging; it's just divine. Mia is USB rechargeable, which is handy, although it would be nice if it came with a mains adapter, too. The highest vibrations are fairly strong and it's easy to control the levels with the plus and minus buttons. The best feature about the Mia is that it's travel lockable by pressing and holding the two buttons at the same time. The Lelo Mia looks more like a lipstick than anything else and it's silent. There is nowhere that you couldn't take this vibe and mine is now a permanent feature in my handbag. Definitely worth the money and the best travel vibe you could buy.

Beginners Basic Vibrating Finger Ring
The Finger Ring comes in a very nice little wrapper, a bit like a large condom. It's ideal for travelling as it is discreet and silent. It's not the most attractive toy in the world but if it was, you'd be paying a lot more! Unlike a lot of disposable toys, you can turn this one on and off, so you don't have to use your 30 minutes all at once! I found the toy was a little tight on my finger but the material is very soft and nice to touch. It's very nice for massage during foreplay and produced tingly sensations all over my body. It's perfect for nipple play. I found the strength of vibrations a little disappointing when it came to more intimate areas but I do like very strong vibrations. At only £2.49 you can't really go wrong. Sometimes it's all about going back to basics...

Lovehoney Jessica Rabbit 2.0 G-Spot Vibrator
The rabbit just got better! Unlike a normal rabbit, this toy stimulates both the clitoris and the G-spot. Rather than the old 3-speed rabbit vibration settings the Jessica 2.0 G-Spot Rabbit also includes 4 different pulses to tease and tantalise. The main shaft rotation is reversible, in case your G-spot wasn't stimulated enough already! Extremely easy to use even when changing settings as you reach climax and it's waterproof, too, if you want a fun bath-time companion. A nice size toy for travelling. The only two things that I feel could have moved the orgasm rating up to full marks for me would be if the rabbit ears were a little longer and the shaft was wider. This rabbit is ears and tails above many of its peers in the noise department. It's the quietest rabbit I've ever heard (or not as the case may be!). A great addition to any toy box and a fantastic first vibe for a beginner.

SaSi by Je Joue Intelligent Rechargeable Vibrator
SaSi really is one of a kind, a truly innovative and gorgeous toy. I received the black SaSi, which feels great and looks very elegant sat on the stand provided. The stand is also very useful for when you want to charge the toy, as is the small pouch also provided. SaSi isn't the easiest toy to use as she can be tricky to position, but once you get used to her - wow! The ball on the underside of the SaSi mimics the various movements of a tongue. With lube and some imagination it does give a similar sensation to oral sex. I enjoyed flicking through the different movements and soon discovered the ones that really hit the spot! The favourites mode is amazing as it learns exactly what you like. The vibrations range from a low hum to strong. There is no other toy that you can customise to your own personal preferences the way that you can with SaSi. It isn't the sort of toy you use for a quick orgasm but if you slowly spend the time building up it is definitely worth the pay-off at the end - wow! Powerful, innovative and discreet were the three words I chose to describe the perfect sex toy and I can officially say that SaSi is all three. The big question: is it worth the money? I think so.

Lovehoney 7 Function Magic Bullet 2.0 Mini Waterproof Vibrator
This a lovely little vibe that is amazingly powerful for its size. I received the pink bullet and it's very cute! Discreet enough to slip into your handbag and quiet enough for wherever you decide to take it out! The vibrations vary from teasing to ultra powerful and there is a pattern to suit every mood. A great non-threatening vibe to use with a partner for that extra bedroom boost. For me the downside is that, with it being so small, I find it hard to hold onto it at those crucial moments! The bullet is great for bath time as it is completely waterproof. It's very good value for money and even comes with two sets of batteries! A little bit of magic.

Vibe Therapy Serene 7 Function Silicone Twist Vibrator
The Serene is a very attractive vibe that comes in lovely packaging. The vibrations range from gentle to strong and it also has a variety of pulse settings. The vibrations are practically silent; however, the Serene lost points for quietness and build quality because the button on the base rattles unless it's touched. The material is lovely and feels great inside you. The ridges feel great during penetration and give the toy an extra edge. Serene is slightly larger than your average vibe, which I really like because it enhances the sensations from the swirled shape of the toy. The head tapers into a tip that is great for clitoral stimulation. With the toy being waterproof the battery compartment is a bit more difficult to open than most but otherwise is extremely easy to use. Overall the Serene is a very enjoyable toy to use and I think it is worth the money.

Lovehoney Erotic Rocket 2.0 10 Function Mini Vibrator
The Erotic Rocket is a fairly well known vibrator as it is available on the high street and is good value for money. It's a reasonable looking toy and is very easy to use. There are 10 very different settings, with various vibration strengths and some unusual yet pleasurable pulses. The three metal tips feel cool on the clit (or anywhere else that you care to massage) and feel nice with a bit of tingle lube. Although I love the pulses, I wish that the vibrations were a bit stronger. I would definitely use the Erotic Rocket for foreplay but it didn't do it for me as much as some of the other toys in the competition.

Screaming O FingO Waterproof Mini Finger Vibrator
I think this toy is great, even if it isn't the quietest toy in the world. I received the blue 'tingly' FingO and wasn't disappointed. I didn't expect this toy to be as powerful as it is but it definitely packs a punch. It's waterproof and is great fun in the bath. After lubing up the little feelers and sliding it onto my finger it felt amazing all over my body and it definitely hit the spot. If you like more control the toy will easily stretch over two fingers. The FingO is great matched with a penetrative toy or on its own. I would highly recommend this toy to anyone. The only downside is that you currently can't choose which FingO you receive but when you can I will definitely be adding the other two to my collection!
