What they said:
Tracey Cox Supersex Massager Vibrator
I couldn't believe how non-threatening this was - guys definitely wouldn't be intimidated by this! It looks and feels like a body massager, and has variable vibration so you can set it exactly as you like. The vibrations are perfect for clitoral stimulation, although the only downfall was being a little too big girth-wise for easy insertion. This toy is very well designed and extremely powerful, definitely worth its price tag.

We-Vibe II Clitoral and G-Spot Vibrator
Although the concept is brilliant, I was really disappointed with this toy. After seeing the extravagant price tag I was expecting fireworks but it really just didn't do anything for me, even after giving it a fair few tries! It's very discreetly designed and you could get away with wearing it while out and about without anybody knowing! The We-Vibe is very pleasing on the eye but the vibrations just weren't strong enough and the controls were difficult to use.

Lelo Mia USB Rechargeable Vibrator
I was impressed by the cute look of this toy and its quirkiness of being rechargeable by a computer USB port. It has easy to use controls and 4 different settings to use. I found it a bit difficult at first remembering how to switch between modes, but after a few uses it became simpler. Due to the powerful vibrations, the Lelo is not completely silent, but definitely a lot quieter than most toys I've used before. I think the price tag is a bit steep as it doesn't seem to differ much from cheaper toys, but overall a good buy.

Beginners Basic Vibrating Finger Ring
This is a very small and discreet toy, which is probably best used with a partner rather than solo. It's extremely easy to use, although for me the vibrations just weren't quite strong enough to use on its own. In terms of value for money, the Finger Ring is definitely worth its price, but due to only lasting 30 minutes (and not being able to replace the battery) I felt money could be better spent on a slightly more expensive toy that would last a lot longer.

Lovehoney Jessica Rabbit 2.0 G-Spot Vibrator
I was looking forward to trying this toy (having never tried a rabbit before) but unfortunately it didn't really live up to my expectations. The rabbit ears on the front did their job perfectly, although it was difficult to use due to having so many settings and I felt the rotating head was not powerful enough to make a difference. This toy did make me reach orgasm but let itself down by making too much noise along the way!

SaSi by Je Joue Intelligent Rechargeable Vibrator
I really could not believe how expensive this toy was. It definitely looked and felt the part, but using it was extremely hard work! There are so many settings and buttons that I couldn't use it without the instruction booklet close by and once it got going it just wasn't strong enough. This is definitely not a toy I would recommend due to the extortionate price and lack of thrill.

Lovehoney 7 Function Magic Bullet 2.0 Mini Waterproof Vibrator
I couldn't believe my luck when I received a pink one of these! It looks so cute and discreet. The 7 settings are a god send for such a tiny toy. For £9.99 it's a bargain, especially as four batteries are included! Its only downside is that you have to take the battery out between uses otherwise the bullet will stay in stand-by mode, but this is a small price to pay for such a good toy!

Vibe Therapy Serene 7 Function Silicone Twist Vibrator
I was shocked when I first opened the box as to how big this toy was! But don't let that put you off. It is beautifully designed and feels very soft to touch, due to being made from Medical Grade Silicone. It was extremely easy to use as it only has two buttons, one for power, and the other to switch between the seven vibration functions. Clitoral stimulation is perfect, although used internally was almost as good, due to being a little bigger than a usual vibe.

Lovehoney Erotic Rocket 2.0 10 Function Mini Vibrator
Firstly WOW! I have fallen completely in love with this little toy! With 10 speeds and patterns, the steel balls sit in the perfect spot and never disappoint. The discreet look and pretty design only add to the pleasure, along with excellent build quality. It was so easy to use; I didn't even need to read the enclosed instructions! Even the battery life is astonishing seeing as only one AA battery is required. As a word of advice - you have to buy one!

Screaming O FingO Waterproof Mini Finger Vibrator
At first glance this toy looks a little bit tacky, and is definitely an 'adult novelty' rather than a sex toy. It only had one speed of vibration and was nowhere near as good as I expected it would be for its £12.99 price tag. It looks exactly the same as the 7 Function Magic Bullet apart from the silicone finger sleeve, although more expensive and has less functions!
