2. Lovehoney Mains Powered Deluxe Magic Wand Vibrator - £30.00

The magic wand vibrator used to be something of legend in the UK. The market used to be dominated by the Hitachi Magic Wand which was withdrawn from sale in the EU, leaving us Brits feeling like we were missing out on something special. But not anymore.

The Lovehoney Mains Powered Deluxe Magic Wand Vibrator is a modification on the classic design that’s 100% UK voltage friendly. Keeping the original shape that was designed for deep-tissue back massage, the magic wand vibrator is designed for external stimulation but can be teamed with attachments which allow it to be used for penetration too.

Boasting a sliding scale of weapons-grade vibration, this mains-powered vibrator offers a varied sexual experience that kicks lesser models into touch. The internal motor is immensely energetic during operations, translating superbly through the rounded head. The extra-long cable assures your play can be as inventive and varied as you are.

Ideal for direct clitoral stimulation and erotic massage, the magic wand vibrator can also liven up male masturbators and strokers by pressing the head against the sleeve for all-new sensations that will leave you quivering in your socks.

4. The Sqweel Oral Sex Simulator - £39.99

First came the tongue, then came the Sqweel. The winner of our Design A Sex Toy 2008 competition, Sqweel finally nailed the much coveted oral sex sensation in a sex toy by mounting 10 tiny tongues on a rotating wheel. Daringly opting for a vibration-free mechanism, the Sqweel instead has a three-speed spin to get those tongues lapping against your erogenous zones.

In 2010 the Sqweel got that little bit better with the release of Sqweelers. Pearl, Wave and Tingle are three interchangeable textured wheels that can be used in place of the ten-tongued wheel, varying sensations and pressure. For lovers of internal stimulation Sqweevee was also launched - a vibrator holder that slots over your Sqweel, giving a whole new dimension to its abilities. So the Sqweel can now give you four different kinds of oral while simultaneously penetrating you with your favourite vibrator. And if that wasn’t enough, the specially formulated Sqweel Lube makes the pleasure more intense than ever.

The Tracey Cox Supersex Sensation Stroker is an update on the classic stroker design. Made from transparent skin safe rubber, it puts your pecker at the heart of the action and allows you to see your pleasure as well as feel it. This makes it incredibly attractive as a couple’s toy as it creates a much sexier visual impact than opaque sleeves.

Just like the original Tracey Cox Supersex Stroker, the Supersex Sensation Stroker has received plenty of acclaim from partners claiming this toy is the ideal way to spice up foreplay. The small size and generally non-threatening appearance of it is also a tempting prospect for sex toy virgins, making it a great beginner’s sex toy for men.

The inner texture is beautifully varied, meaning you’ll experience different sensations depending on how deep you plunge. With three separate chambers to experience, you’ll have plenty of fun experimenting with different stroking styles. The outside of the stroker has been ergonomically designed to make it easy to control. Simply grip in your stroking hand and use your other to control the suction - much easier than holding a big-and-bulky case!

The extra-stretchy material also allows you to pop through the end, so your partner can team strokes with licking and sucking with a little practice. The ‘out’ hole also makes cleaning and maintaining this toy a breeze. Not bad for £19.99 at all!

The discreet casing looks nothing like a sex toy when stashed on a shelf, a plus point for men that prefer to opt for visuals elsewhere or want something that won’t arouse suspicion if accidentally spotted by family members or house mates. The innovative case and sleeve makes the Black Flipholeone of the easiest male sex toys on the market to clean, ensuring it stays in peak condition which is important for a toy that is going to get as much use as this.

Best Sex Toys for Couples

8. Tracey Cox Supersex Twin Silicone Vibrating Love Ring for Couples - £14.99

Combining the Tracey Cox Supersex Bullet Vibrator with a silicone cock ring has created one of our most successful sex toys for couples. A penis ring that not only helps to maintain a seriously hard erection but also channels the intense vibration this bullet offers, intensifying pleasure for both partners.

This isn’t just one for those who require a little extra boost to their erections. If you’ve tried cock rings before and become frustrated with their tendency to slip, you’ll benefit from giving this one a whirl. The incorporated testicle harness helps to keep it in place to prevent awkward mid-coital fumbling. The batteries are replaceable too, so this waterproof ring is likely to be a lasting success.

9. We-Vibe 3 Clitoral and G-Spot Vibrator - £99.99

When the We-Vibe first launched, it was a single-speed gem that raised eyebrows around the world. A vibrator that you could wear during sex? Wow! Once eyebrows returned to their normal positions and people got to trying out this innovative toy, they were soon scrunching up again as Oh’s and Ah’s resonated from bedrooms near and far. Designed to sit against the G-spot and clitoris, the vibration travelled far.

Women and their partners were soon spreading the good word of the We-Vibe and demand for this toy kept on rising. Then came We-Vibe II. Powering up for a longer buzz and re-wowing us with not one but NINE delectable vibrating functions, a sexual sensation was born. She loves it, he loves it, they love it, we all love it.

We thought it couldn’t get any better, but we were wrong. In 2011 We-Vibe released We-Vibe 3, a remote controlled version of their illustrious We-Vibe II. Dropping a couple of vibrating modes, it reverted to a six speed toy but whacked up the power by 40%, meaning the speeds and patterns benefit from a stronger crescendo. That extra power comes with zero extra noise, making We-Vibe 3 silent but deadly sexy.

Owners of the original two We-Vibe toys will know that adjusting the settings once the toy is inserted ranges from tricky to virtually impossible. Instead of working on making a bigger, more awkward switch, We-Vibe have done away with fiddly manual adjustment all together and created a wireless remote to guide you effortlessly through the speeds and settings.

The cherry on top is the addition of a rather nifty charging case which allows you to discreetly cover up your toy during charge-up, keeping it clean and safe at your bedside. Each charge will give you 2 hours of play, meaning you’ll have no worries about flagging power mid fun.

10. Adam and Eve Harness Strap-On Kit - £29.99

Our best-selling strap-on set, this harness comes with not one but two dildos making it a perfect first-time set for couples. The size differences between the dildos make this set great for those looking to train themselves onto bigger anal or vaginal sex toys, with the smaller noted as being a great first-time dildo for men and women alike. The harness features an open crotch which makes it perfect for both men and women to wear without inhibition to the genitalia.

Men can therefore indulge in a spot of double penetration while women can incorporate other toys and feel their partner’s touch as they penetrate. The sturdy build and variable size means one size really does fit most without loss of functionality or comfort. If you’ve ever been curious about strap-on play but you’re not sure where to start, our customers recommend this three-piece kit as a perfect start to your strap-on sex journey.
