Svakom Amy
Its ultra-soft material, arched design with a flat head and high power will allow you to generate intense orgasms, internal or external, both in bed and in the shower.
£ 42.99 on sinful
This sex toy is made from very soft, hypoallergenic silicone that cleans quickly and can be used in the shower. It is 17 cm long and has a diameter of 3 cm. Although some may find it too thin, we think it is perfect for foreplay or beginners in masturbation. The flat head feels great on the clitoris, and the slightly curved shape is also effective for stimulating the G-spot. In any case, it is comfortable and easy to use thanks to its three backlit buttons and its 2-3 hours of autonomy. Its six vibration modes are sufficient, but what impressed us most when we put it to the test was the ample power of the motor. However, some users report that it can be a bit “annoying” at full power. Finally, a satin storage pouch is included with the purchase.

ROMP Beat
Its ease of use and the pleasurable sensations offered by its different modes make it an excellent proposition, as long as you don't mind recharging it frequently.
£ 16.99 on sinful
This penetrating rechargeable vibrator is made of hypoallergenic medical-grade silicone and ABS, which is safe for the body. The bevelled texture feels good in the hand, and we found it easy to clean, handle and use. All four modes and six speeds are operated with a single button. During our test, we appreciated the variations as well as their power, which gave us a variety of pleasurable sensations, both on the clitoris and in the vagina. In addition, its waterproof finish allows it to be used underwater or in the shower. At the time of delivery, we received some fun stickers as a gift. However, with just 1 hour of battery life at maximum intensity, its battery life seems a little limited.
Lelo Soraya Wave
Its design, motorisation and movements are well thought out in terms of efficiency. If you don’t mind the high price and the noise, pleasure is more than guaranteed.
This powerful luxury Rabbit has a battery life of approximately 2 hours. Made of ABS and hypoallergenic silicone, it is soft, and its size will satisfy many users. The ring at the end of the vibrator and the three well-placed backlit buttons make it easy to handle and use. During our tests, it was the one that gave us the best sensations, as it guarantees both internal and external pleasure with its different combinations. The flexibility of the clitoral part allows it to be placed in the ideal position, and the back-and-forth movements reproduce the undulation of the fingers to effectively stimulate the G-spot. It has two motors that can be activated together or individually and eight vibration modes to vary the pleasures. Thanks to its waterproofing, it can be used in the shower and cleaned without difficulty. On the other hand, it is very noisy compared to the other devices tested.
Satisfyer Multifun 3
This vibrator stands out for its ergonomic design and its multifunctional character that offers a wide range of vibration possibilities. Women, men and couples will find something to suit them.
This all-in-one model acts as a Rabbit (double penetration and penetrator). Made of waterproof silicone, it is soft, easy to clean and can be used in the shower. It has three powerful motors (activated individually or simultaneously) and a 180° rotating head that allows thirty applications and many combinations for both women and men. It stimulates the clitoris and the G-spot, but also the nipples, the base of the penis, the testicles and the anus. However, its large size requires a lot of lubrication, and we do not recommend it for beginners. When we put it to the test, it was easy to use, but the buttons are not backlit, which caused us a few little problems in the dark (scares to be had). Its charging time is also quite long (about 3 hours), and its motors consume a lot of energy (only 1 hour of autonomy). Finally, it is a pity that a carrying case is not included in the purchase.
Lelo Enigma Cruise
Despite its high price and some flaws in the design, its double stimulation is very effective, especially the suction part which gave us full satisfaction.
£ 95.99 on sinful
This waterproof model is made of high-quality silicone and ABS plastic, which makes the material soft and pleasant. During our test, we found the penetration part a little short and too curved, and the suction part did not position itself naturally on the clitoris during double stimulation (internal and external). Fortunately, given the flexibility of the device, the positioning can be partially rectified. The suction mode for the clitoris… We loved it! In total, it offers eight vibration modes to massage the G-spot. Its three backlit buttons are also easy to use. However, its battery life is only one hour, and the suction part is a bit more difficult to clean.

How did we do the tests?
Each model was tested multiple times in different environments (bed, shower, etc.) to check water resistance and ergonomics (ease of use, the practicality of buttons, handling, shape of the vibrator, etc.). This allowed us to assess autonomy and noise. The power supply type and size were also taken into account to see if they were easy to transport/store.
For each type of vibrator and mode, we made sure to vary the masturbation, intensity and positions (internal and external) to assess the softness of the material, sensations and versatility. We were also able to observe any irritation. In the case of connected devices, we examined the remote control and/or the app from top to bottom. Once in use, we were able to judge the ease of cleaning.
How to choose a vibrator?
Whether it’s for your solo pleasures or to spice up your relationship with your partner, you can’t just choose a vibrator. Of course, they come in all shapes, sizes, colours and prices, but be careful, they don’t all offer the same pleasures…
First of all, it is necessary to differentiate between the different types of vibrators on the market:
- The penetrator: available in many different shapes, sizes and materials, this type of vibrator will make you experience a penetration similar to that felt during intercourse.
- The rabbit: this two-pronged sex toy is designed to stimulate two erogenous zones simultaneously. It has an insertable part for the G-spot and a smaller part that “tickles” the clitoris.
- Double penetration: with both vaginal and anal penetration, it appeals to the most daring women, as it is usually synonymous with very powerful orgasms. But for beginners, it is not recommended.
- Non-penetrative: if you define yourself more as a clitoral woman, this type of vibrator, which often comes in the form of a pebble or mini phallus, may interest you. However, it works more like a stimulator.
- The vibrating egg: this type of sex toy can easily be used at home, but also outdoors, as it is remote-controlled. Alone or as a couple, it is essential to have it at hand for new experiences. It is a variant of the geisha balls, whose purpose is to strengthen the muscles of the perineum.
To find the best models on the market, several criteria must be considered:
- The power and speed of vibration: you need stimulation strong enough to induce an orgasm. So check the product specifications, which usually specify its control mode, whether it has multiple speeds and whether it has different vibration modes. The more modes it has, the more varied and fun it will be. The number of motors can also be interesting, depending on the design of the model.
- The shape and size: once you have a choice, indulge yourself! This is a very personal choice and depends on what you are going to use your vibrator for. From classic to extravagant, there is a wide range of products available on the market.
- The material of manufacture: this will have a significant impact on the sensations provided. Since the vibrator will be in contact with your most intimate parts, it is best to choose a high-quality material that is safe for the body and easy to clean. Preferably silicone (hypoallergenic, waterproof and soft) or ABS plastic (promises a pleasant sensation while remaining firm and solid). In any case, avoid latex, which is more irritating and allergenic.
- The type of battery: they can be plugged in (powerful, but not portable), with a rechargeable battery (more expensive, but better made and quieter) or battery-powered (cheaper and more practical, but less powerful).
- Waterproofing: Vibrators can be waterproof or water resistant. Note that the latter does not mean waterproof, but it can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Waterproof models can be completely submerged in water, so you can soak them in a bathtub or use them in the shower.
- Noise: to use your vibrator discreetly, check the noise level of the model. If it is too loud, it is best to use it at home. Also remember that if you use it in the bathtub, the volume will be much higher, as the sound will be amplified and reverberated. If you want to be discreet, we recommend using it in the shower.
- Connectivity: technological progress has not forgotten the world of sex toys, which has diversified in recent years by offering smart toys. Connected to your (or your partner’s) smartphone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, they have become a favourite among couples in long-distance relationships.
PS: Don’t hesitate to take a look at our comparison of the best lubricants, as your choice of vibrator may be related to it. Not all sex toys are compatible with all lubricants.
Other vibrators we recommend
Durex Pure Fantasy Orgasm’Intense (£47.15 upon publication): an economical and simple, yet effective option. This penetrating, waterproof vibrator is battery-operated and promises up to 5 hours of use. Unlike the others, it is made from high-quality ABS rather than less soft silicone, but in our test, we found it slid more easily into the vagina. It is still easy to clean. The speed is easily adjustable via its dial, but on the one hand, you have to set it on the highest mode to feel the sensations, and on the other, there are no modes. With the lubricant, it is also a bit more difficult to operate.
Lelo Gigi 2 (£111.20 upon publication): one of the brand’s bestsellers. This device is made of silicone and very soft ABS, making it waterproof and easy to clean. We found it light and handy, and its small size makes it easy to start masturbation. We enjoyed the sensations thanks to its curved, flattened tip which is well thought out to stimulate the female G-spot as well as the clitoris. The four buttons are quite intuitive and there are eight stimulation modes. The battery life is also good (about 4 hours). During our test, we found it to be quiet compared to other models. However, we have seen other devices that offer almost the same functions at a much lower price.
Lovense Lush 3 (£119.00 upon publication): a connected vibrating egg, ideal for playing alone or as a couple, even at a distance. This rechargeable sex toy has an excellent battery life (up to 5 hours). Made of hypoallergenic silicone, it is light and discreet to store. What is interesting is its remote control, which allows couples to give each other pleasure without being close to each other. According to our tests, the app is intuitive and full of functions and possibilities, including vibrating to music or creating personalised vibration programmes. It is also quiet to use and waterproof, making it easy to clean.
Other vibrators we have tested
Oliver James (£21.95 upon publication): This powerful, soft silicone massager offers many variations of modes and speeds for pleasurable sensations on the clitoris and elsewhere on the body. However, at full power, some of our testers found it too sensitive, and it is not completely waterproof.
Lelo Smart Wand 2 (£126.50 upon publication): This waterproof silicone body massager has an easy-to-handle handle and a fairly flexible head that allows it to be used on the clitoris and body. However, it is not intended for the vagina and we have tried other much cheaper devices that improve its performance.
