What the judges say
Alana C
I didn't like the look of this one. It is a flesh colour and feels like jelly! It does say it's a basic toy but personally I would be more inclined to pay a bit more to get something that is a bit nicer to look at and touch! It's simple to turn off and on, and has a reasonable strength of vibrations. Overall, not for me.

A great one for beginners and road trips. A little bit of disposable fun.

I was disappointed with this toy, as the vibrations delivered were too weak for me to really notice them, hence the orgasm rating. I'm also not keen on this sort of disposable toy as once the battery has gone it cannot be replaced and the whole thing has to be thrown away - not very environmentally friendly!

It's not bad for the price but it only lasts 30 minutes. The vibrations are quite good but the battery ran out before I was really satisfied with it. It looks a bit odd and it took me a while to figure out that it's a rose in the centre! It's easy enough to use and I don't really see how you can go wrong with it but I'm not really a fan of one-use toys.

This is a very odd looking ring, although there is a flower on it so I guess it's trying to be a little feminine. Then again, at a price like that I guess you can't really complain, can you? It had nice, strong vibrations but overly powerful. I found it quite hard to turn on and off - the button is rather fiddly and hard to find. I don't think I'm going to be a fan of finger vibrators, I just find them uncomfortable to use and hard to get the right angle on them. As a basic sex toy it's fine but for me, it's not a must-have!

I didn't really like the look or feel of this one - it was very 'jelly-like'. The vibrations weren't that strong, so it didn't do much for me at all.

Despite trying, I actually failed to climax with this toy, as the vibration was so mild! If I had persevered with it, it probably would have taken me all day. The flower design on the main part of the toy was rather pretty, but the on/off switch was really tricky to press, and with use would probably rip the silicone cover of the toy. Not a winner with me, I'm afraid.

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.

This looked really unattractive, like a fleshy weird shellfish or something. Surprisingly quiet though. I liked the texture of the sleeve, but I don't think it's the best value for money for only 30 minutes. I'd rather buy something which takes AA or AAA batteries and has a textured sleeve, as that seems better value for money for me. It's not extremely expensive either and for the odd occasion when something small and disposable could be useful, it's worth a go. I would love to be able to buy a sleeve with the same type of texture for either a bullet, or other basic vibe - it really does feel nice.

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...

A small treat for someone who has never used toys for stimulation. The vibrations are far too weak and although climax was reached - it took far too long. Worth the money but you get what you pay for.

Very unattractive! If you want to look like you've dipped your finger in mouldy jelly, this is the one for you! However, for less than the cost of a sandwich, who's to complain?! Tricky to work at first but if you're looking for something simple, this gets the thumbs up!

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.

The BASIC range by LoveHoney is great for beginners and the fun step-by-step instructions on the packaging are cute. However, I think for experienced toy users, you may expect more from a toy. It does look like something out of a vending machine, but it does the job! Single use but very inexpensive. Something to stick on your shopping list when you're buying other toys if you haven't tried a finger ring before.

It took me a few minutes to figure out the on switch and I was a bit unimpressed. The vibrations are weak and it feels a bit cheap and gaudy. I wouldn't use this standalone either.

Subjectively, I didn't really like this toy. It's all wrong for me; a combination of things that I would never choose in a toy! First off, it's a finger vibe, which I'm not a fan of. Secondly, its nodule-y texture is something I'd usually avoid in toys. Thirdly the jelly-like material is not a favourite with me. Although I'd never choose this for myself, I can still appreciate its appeal. Ideally suited for couples just starting out with toys (in my opinion), this finger ring is simple to use and won't intimidate, while at the same time adding an extra element of fun to the bedroom. Getting started with it literally couldn't be easier - take it out of the packet, switch it on, off you go. It has a stretchy ring to go around one or two fingers - I found using two fingers made it easier to control. It's virtually silent so it doesn't distract from the matter 'at hand', har har. Ultimately, for £2.49, you absolutely can't go wrong, and it's a fantastic addition to anyone's bedroom routine. I suspect I'd enjoy it more if a man was wielding it, so I shall be keeping this one on standby!

This is a good beginner's sex toy. It was enjoyable in a relaxing way as opposed to the more intense, powerful vibrators. However, if you're used to the more powerful vibes it will leave you wanting more. It's good as a warm up for couples before intercourse. It was pleasurable to the touch and very easy to use.

For its price it was great. One setting, works for 30 minutes and then you throw it away, not very good for the environment or any eco-lovers out there, but effective while it is functional! The colour isn't very appetising, but you don't expect much for its price. Although good at precision stimulation, it was quite small so didn't really cover much ground. For how many you would have to buy to last for a long amount of time, you're more worthwhile buying one with changeable batteries, but for something to pack into your suitcase for a weekend away or as an 'in case of an emergency' vibe for your house, it will do its job well. It's no frills, but sometimes that is all you want.

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.
