Best sex toys for women at a glance
1. We tested: Ann Summers G-Spot Ripple Rampant Rabbit
- G-Spot Ripple Rampant Rabbit, £35 from Ann Summers - buy here
This Ripple Rampant Rabbit (say that after a few drinks) is a great entry point if you've never dabbled in the penetrative sex toy world before. It's affordable at under £35, which a big bonus, and it stimulates multiple erogenous zones so, if you get there, expect a blended orgasm.
And even if you don't get there, the journey is still fun with a plethora of vibration strengths and patterns to get you going.
The only downside is it is battery powered rather than rechargeable so make sure to stock up on those triple A's before it arrives.

2. We tested: Ann Summers Moregasm+ Wave Rabbit
- Ann Summers Moregasm+ Wave Rabbit, £85 - buy here
Have you got the budget for something a little bit...bigger. Then snatch up the Moregasm+ Wave Rabbit from Anne Summers.
If width isn't your jam then this one might not be for you, but if you're all about that girth paired with powerful vibrations internally and externally then we've found your fighter.
Add to the equation that it's rechargeable, which means no batteries or a power cable during use and you've hit the jackpot. For a longer review, we have also featured the Moregasm+ Wave Rabbit in our best Rabbit round-up here.
3. We tested: Womanizer Premium Eco
- Womanizer Premium Eco, £139.99 from LoveHoney - buy here
The Womanizer Premium Eco is one of the most technologically advanced toys of all of our tried and tested picks. Its patented 'pleasure air technology' produces soft waves rather than vibrations, ranging from very soft to powerful.
Despite its power, it's pretty quiet and discreet if that's a factor on your sex toy list.
And, as the cherry on top, it's plastic-free and sustainable, so you can enjoy your me-time knowing you're doing your bit for the planet. To read more about what we thought, check out our full Womanizer review here.
4. We tested: Lelo Sona
- Lelo Sona 2, £103 (on offer) from LELO - buy here
Like the Womanizer Premium Eco, the Lelo Sona 2 uses its own advanced patented technology for the ultimate external stimulation.
It works by sending sonic waves to your erogenous zones to amplify the depth and quality of your climaxes. And it's powerful, something definitely worth considering before you buy because the strength is not for everyone.
It's even 100% waterproof if you fancy taking it with you into the bath, shower or any other appropriate body of water. Want to find out more? Read our full Lelo Sona 2 review here before you commit to buying.
5. We tested: We-Vibe x Lovehoney Remote Control Clitoral and G-Spot Vibrator
- We-Vibe x Lovehoney Remote Control Clitoral and G-Spot Vibrator, £99.99 from Lovehoney - buy here
The collaboration of these two sex toy giants was as good as we could have hoped for.
Made to be used with another person, this has a whole range of uses, whether that's allowing your partner to control the 10 varied internal and external settings using the bluetooth remote control, or just enjoying it alone.
The curved shape means it sits comfortably inside without moving around or falling out and hits all the right external and internal spots for a heightened orgasm.
The best thing about this toy is that because of its size, which is small, it can be used with a partner during sex so you both benefit from the vibrations.
It's rechargeable - although charging does take a hot minute - which means no batteries, but if you're looking for something with intense vibrations, this possibly isn't the toy for you, especially at just under £100.
Regardless of this, it's a fun addition to some solo time or something new to try with a partner. Want to know more? We've done a full review of the We-Vibe x Lovehoney vibrator for you to check out before you buy.
6. Clone-A-Willy Vibrator
- Clone-A-Willy Vibrator, £29.59 (0n offer) from Lovehoney - buy here
This clone a willy vibrator from Lovehoney is perfect for anyone who spends extended periods of time away from their partner.
How does it work? You create the mould around your partner's penis, mix and pour in the silicone solution, insert the vibrator and allow it to set. Easy.
It's body-safe, hypoallergenic and comes in a variety of colours, and skin tones, too so it'll look exactly like the real thing.
The easy-to-make toy takes an AA battery which isn't included, so stock up before giving this vibrator a whirl.
7. Bodywand Mains Powered Wand Vibrator
- Bodywand Mains Powered Wand Vibrator, £89.99 from Harmony - buy now
Lovehoney has a wide range of sex toys, but this particular one has been described as the jackhammer of bodywands. So, ultra-powerful.
The toy can be used on your erotic hotspots for super-intense orgasms, or on your aching muscles after a workout for a deep massage.
It packs a serious punch and can be used together or alone, the choice is yours.
There are a range of vibration speeds to choose from and it works using the mains which is what gives it that extra power punch compared to your typical battery-powered or rechargeable toys.
8. Sqweel 2 Oral Sex Stimulator
- Sqweel 2 Oral Sex Simulator, £39.99 from Amazon - buy here
This might not look like much - in fact it looks a little strange - but this offering from Squeel is a reasonably affordable way to replicate our favourite part of foreplay.
Made up of 11 silicone 'tongues' (for lack of a better description) this toy has three speed settings so you can tailor it to the level that suits you. Stock up on AAA batteries because this takes three.
9. Beginner's Anal Beads
- Beginner's Anal Beads, £9.99 from Lovehoney - buy here
For less than a tenner, you can grab these fabulous, bright pink anal beads from Lovehoney. The beginner's toy is ideal for anyone who hasn't tried any anal play before and is looking to explore different avenues.
The 10-inch string of beads start extra small and work their way up to a modest 1-inch diameter.
There is a pull ring at the bottom so you always have a hold on what goes up, and the flexible design works wonders for your body's contouring, ensuring maximum pleasure.
10. Lovehoney Magic Bullet 10 Function Bullet Vibrator
- Lovehoney Magic Bullet 10 Function Bullet Vibrator, £12.99 from Lovehoney - buy here
This little bullet has a lot of five star reviews and for good reason.
Sleek, discreet and affordable, this battery powered toy is one to slip in to your handbag.
Click through the three speeds and seven settings and find the magic formula that gives you the best alone time (or time with your partner) possible.
11. The Satisfyer Pro G-Spot Rabbit
- The Satisfyer Pro G-Spot Rabbit, £58.34 - buy here
The Satisfyer has a good rep. Using suction technology like you might find in the Womanizer or the Lelo, it stimulates the clitoris while the shaft is designed to hit the g-spot.
The head is girthy but not so big that it's uncomfortable and it's the right length to reach the most sensitive internal spots.
For an extra boost of pleasure, use a water based lube to banish any friction.
12. Pink Toning Jiggle Balls
These fun jiggle balls are designed to tone your pelvic floor and discretely stimulate your internal nerve endings for an overall pleasure increase.
Simply place inside (some lube might help if you're feeling a little nervous) and then take them out with the helpful pull-down cord. Don't worry about them getting 'lost'.
Plus, the balls are small, so no one will know you're wearing them, making it even more satisfying.
13. Bondara Shoot to Thrill Black 10 Function Bullet Vibrator
- Bondara Shoot to Thrill Black 10 Function Bullet Vibrator, £9.99 from Bondara - buy here
Don't let the small size of this amazing vibrator fool you - it has 10 unique vibration settings, so have fun exploring its different speeds and pulsating patterns to increase your own pleasure.
At under a tenner, the Shoot to Thrill vibrator is amazing value-for-money and is also available in pink, rose gold, blue, silver and purple.
Thanks to its discreet size, you can easily hide it in your handbag, making it an ideal travel companion.
14. So Divine Self Pleasure Clitoral Suction Stimulator
- So Divine Self Pleasure Clitoral Suction Stimulator, £45 at Look Fantastic - buy here
This So Divine stimulator gently sucks and blows air around your clitoris for an ultimately mind-blowing experience.
There are 11 settings to choose from with different suction patterns to select - and it's simple to use and quick to charge up.
Why not pair up with the So Divine orgasm gel to take things to the next level? Alone time has never been so tempting.
15. Bijoux Indiscrets Twenty One Vibrating Diamond
- Bijoux Indiscrets Twenty One Vibrating Diamond, £25.03 at Amazon - buy here
The Twenty One vibrating diamond is simple but effective - use the different shaped surfaces to stimulate your clitoris, vulva and labia.
There are seven patterns to try along with three vibration intensities.
It's also really discreet to use - with a silent vibration - and you can keep it in a little satin pouch when you're not using it.
16. Lifelike Lover Luxe Realistic Multicoloured Silicone Dildo 7 Inch
- Lifelike Lover Luxe Realistic Multicoloured Silicone Dildo 7 Inch, £34.99 at Lovehoney - buy here
If you're looking for the original sex toy - without any added vibrations - this marbled, silicone dildo is super straight forward and we love the vibrant colour for brightening up your sex life.
Use the suction base for hands-free solo penetration or you can use it in a harness with a partner.
The silken, hypoallergenic silicone feels soft and comfortable - even if you have sensitive skin - plus, it's waterproof so can easily be used in the bath or shower.
