Tracey Cox Supersex Massager Vibrator
Don't let the colour put you off, this is great value for money, boasts fantastic power - which can be varied - and it's a great shape. The rounded top can be swirled around your nipples and body, and the grooved middle can be gripped in between your thighs for some hands-free fun. Very strong vibrations at the head, which also feels delish inside and it's waterproof, too. It's strong enough to be used as an actual massager on your back as well. Run yourself a bath and go have a great de-stressing massage and work yourself up into a lather.

We-Vibe II Clitoral and G-Spot Vibrator
Now I'm sure there will be people reading this that own it and disagree with my score, but I bet they have a partner. The clue of how to use this is in the name - We-Vibe. I am flying solo at the moment so while I enjoyed the fact it hit your clit and G-spot at the same time, the added bonus that it can be used with your partner was lost on me. I tried it with a vibe (switched off) as well and can see it will benefit couple sex greatly - it will be hands-free and the dual motors please both partners. It is superbly made and is rechargeable. It comes with what can only be described as a matching purple glasses case, which was very confusing as the vibe rattles about in it as it's way too big, but not big enough for the charger. Most bizarre! It could be left out and the price knocked down a bit. Also, with next to no instructions, I had to use the LoveHoney website to find out more about it, other than it switches on and off again. I think this would be great for couples, but if you like going it alone the Jessica Rabbit 2.0 G-Spot Vibrator hits both your clit and G-spot as well and is a better bang for your buck.

Lelo Mia USB Rechargeable Vibrator
Packaged well and looks lovely - those are the best bits about this vibe. Its unique selling point is you can charge it on your computer and it would just look like a fancy USB stick (you can charge it in plain sight). Great if you use your computer a lot or have a laptop, not so great otherwise - it has no other way to charge it and doesn't use a battery. The box also smelt really strongly but the vibe didn't, which is okay if you bought it for yourself but would not be great if bought as a gift. The motor sounds like a computer starting up at the beginning and is quite loud. Pricey and not nearly as good as other clitoral stimulators out there that are a lot cheaper. Don't get me wrong, it got me there but unless you're some kind of laptop-toting business babe that commutes on trains all day and gets randy thinking about getting yourself off in a train toilet then avoid, AVOID.

Beginners Basic Vibrating Finger Ring
Very sweet looking and has a lovely feel but just not powerful enough for me. It switches itself on and off quite easily even when it was in the sealed packaging. Batteries cannot be replaced, but it's so cheap you could just buy a new one. Good on nipples. Quaint but not punchy enough.

Lovehoney Jessica Rabbit 2.0 G-Spot Vibrator
This was my favourite all rounder, and you can trade in an old sex toy or two in the LoveHoney Rabbit Amnesty scheme (a rewarding way to reduce your carbon footprint) to get it half price too. I liked how it looked; you can see all the mechanics, which tickled me. Talking of being tickled, the rabbit on this is fantastic; it nuzzles and nudges you to a climax by itself easily. The shaft has metal beads in it which rotate and give you extra stimulation on your opening. The G-spot shape takes a bit of wriggling about to hit the spot but once it does, it feels fantastic. My only complaints about this are that the bullet in the G-spot bit could be stronger, and the buttons are a bit fiddly until you're used to them. Combine the beads, rabbit ears and the G-spot shaft for an orgasm that will leave you gasping.

SaSi by Je Joue Intelligent Rechargeable Vibrator
I was most excited about testing this vibrator, who wouldn't be if you have saved nearly £100 for it? So once I got off all the tres swish packaging I plugged it in - nothing. Tried it again - a couple of sparks. This worried me, but I had left this till last to review so couldn't even send off for a new one. I was going to leave it but after reading up about it on the LoveHoney website and realising it simulated oral sex and was programmable and had a 'don't stop' button (a phrase I hear myself uttering a lot during oral sex) I was determined to get it working. Tried the plug one last time (watching it closely) and, lo and behold, it started charging - then stopped as the cord kept twisting around and cutting the connection. To cut a long story short, it finally charged (and only takes and hour and a bit) so I got it lubed up with a mint tingling lube and got cracking on with it. Your attention is held by the controls, not your orgasm at the start, but once you have your favorites programmed and have worked out how to make the whole thing vibrate, it feels amazing. It is pricey and the charger problems got me off to a slow start, but I'm glad I got to test it and will use it often. Very close to oral sex and the 'don't stop' button doesn't complain its tongue is about to fall off.

Lovehoney 7 Function Magic Bullet 2.0 Mini Waterproof Vibrator
Comes in different colours and is waterproof. Small but packs a good vibration once it gets going with the easy-to-use toggle button. I liked the pulse setting and it would be small enough to use with a buddy for an extra buzz. Don't let its cuteness fool you, it's a tiger in bed!

Vibe Therapy Serene 7 Function Silicone Twist Vibrator
Being a girl that prefers clitoral stimulation over penetration while enjoying some self-loving, my eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw the size of this (very pretty) beast. My eyes are watering just remembering this vibrator. It's gorgeous and feels lovely against my skin. I used it on my clit first (it's got a handy pointed tip for this and swirls to move over you) and then attempted penetration. It was too big for me and I had to admit defeat but I do love it. It's also waterproof and the power button was separate from the vibration (of which there are 7) button. Handy, as often one button does it all and I think we've all felt the disappointment of a vibe being switched off halfway through. For the price I would have expected it to have been rechargeable and the area for the battery is difficult to click open and shut, and feels cheap compared to the rest of this product. This is a vibrator to be proud to show off - it looks gorgeous. Would be great for those who like big boys and mighty toys.

Screaming O FingO Waterproof Mini Finger Vibrator
Looks innocent enough but don't be fooled, this was a great little vibe. It's waterproof, soft to touch, easy to switch on and off, nearly silent and the batteries can be changed. It can be bought with different sleeves on it, I got the nubby texture, and the sleeve can be removed and the bullet used solo. Good for all areas of the body, especially the nipples. I use this in one hand to tease my body and another toy at the same time 'down below' (good with the Tracey Cox Supersex Massager gripped by your thighs). Well worth the money. Who needs a hubby when you have a nubby?
