The sex toy industry makes nearly £12 billion yearly and, according to UK sex toy stats, roughly half of you have played around with a sex toy. One study from Indiana University found that 50% of women use one of the best vibrators regularly.

What to consider when buying the best sex toys for women:
- Type of sex toy: There are tonnes to choose from, from bullet vibrators, to rabbits, to dildos for pegging, and more. Top tip: think about what turns you on and opt for a toy that sounds like it’ll do just that.
- Water resistance: Make sure you opt for a waterproof toy that’s usable for shower sessions if that’s your kind of thing.
- Noise level: Live with flatmates? It’s worth considering whether your toy will be noisy, or whether it’s best to opt for a quiet vibrator, instead.
- Energy source: Make sure you know whether your toy is battery-powered or rechargeable, the latter being better for the environment.
- Price point: Finally, make sure you set yourself a rough budget before you start shopping. Would you rather grab a bargain or invest in one of the higher price point toys?

Pros: Vibrator | Waterproof | Medium noise level | USB charger | Medium price point.
Best for: What promises to be a world-first clitoral suction sex toy guaranteeing orgasm without a long, frustrating build-up.
What the experts think: Ness Cooper, a clinical sexologist who has a background in sex and relationship coaching and has reviewed sex toys for over ten years, loved that the toy is waterproof, easily rechargeable, and made from skin-friendly silicone, too – plus, noted that it’s one of the first sex toys in her ten years of testing to make her really enjoy patterned settings.
2. Satisfyer Pro 2 Deluxe
Pros: Clitoral suction toy | Water-resistant | Medium noise | USB chargeable | Low price point.

What the experts think: Jordan Dixon, clinical psychosexual and relationship psychotherapist at The Thought House, says: “Many clients I work with have spoken to me about the Satisfier Pro 2 Deluxe and how it feels like the closest thing to receiving really good oral sex, saying it induces such an orgasmic state that they experience multiple orgasms within minutes.”
3. LELO Sila
Pros: Clitoral suction toy | Water-resistant | Medium noise | USB chargeable | High price point.
Best for: If you’re after a more soft sex toy, this SILA from LELO promises to pleasure you with gentle sonic waves and a larger mouth. Switch through eight pleasure settings and enjoy it being fully waterproof, too.
What the experts think: Scotty Unfamous, an award-winning erotic romance author and sex influencer, says: “This is one of the best clitoral suction vibes on the market.”
“The Sila has a large mouth that not only accommodates more clitoris sizes but also stimulates your clitoris both internally and externally, without making direct contact. This is made possible through LELO’s SenSonic technology, to gently bring you to a mind-blowing orgasm.”
4. Rose sex toy
Pros: Clitoral suction toy | Water-resistant | Loud noise | USB chargeable | Low price point.
Best for: This toy went viral on TikTok for a reason – it’s really pretty and has rose petal leaves that act as part of the clitoral suction toy. Neat.
What the experts think: Ness Cooper, a clinical sexologist, says: “Pretty, comfortable to hold and easy to use, this viral toy is worth a try. While it isn’t the most powerful clitoral suction toy I’ve tried and does make fairly loud techno-like noises, mind – you were warned.”
BEST WAND SEX TOYS
1. Bed Geek Full Body Wand
Pros: Wand | Non-waterproof | Quiet | USB chargeable | Low price point.
Best for: A wireless vibrating wand you can use anywhere that comes in discreet packaging, too. While most wands come with a long cable that requires a nearby plug socket, this cordless sex toy for women is chargeable and can therefore be used anywhere you like.
What the experts think: Scotty Unfamous, an award-winning erotic romance author and sexfluencer, says: “Whether you’re a beginner or you’d like to expand your toy collection without breaking the bank, the Bed Geek wands are a great way to go.”
“They’re surprisingly quiet considering how powerful they are, with a wide variety of settings that you can use all over your body – plus, they’re travel friendly, too. Great quality at a great price point.”
2. Doxy Extra Power Massager
Pros: Wand | Non-waterproof | Medium noise level | Non-wireless – plug in | High price point.
Best for: Old school Sex and the City-style orgasms where you stimulate your clit with powerful vibrations. Yep, it’s 30 percent more powerful than the once-famous Hitachi wand (the one Samantha raved about in Sex and the City back in the day) and has incremental speeds and pulsations, so you can keep increasing the pleasure until you reach climax. Importantly, it also has a long cable – nearly 3m long – which means you don’t need to worry about losing power while you’re using it.
What the experts think: Annabelle Knight, a sex and relationship expert, said: “With Doxy products, it is all about that one important word: POWER. They are not for the faint-hearted or for the more inexperienced sex toy user.”
“Doxys are for users that know they need to really feel the force to get off. You’ll get scintillating pleasure through the soft silicone head. Plus, fun fact: Doxy was the first to pioneer the wand vibrator, which is now one of the most important sex toy categories. For many users, they are the oldest and still the best.”
3. Lovehoney Extra Powerful Multispeed Magic Wand
Pros: Wand | Not water-resistant | Medium noise level | Non-wireless – plug in | Medium price point.
Best for: A real all-rounder from a trusted brand. With over 3,828 reviews and a solid 5-star rating, you know this one’s a good’un.
What the experts think: Aleece Fosnight, board-certified physician assistant specialising in sexual medicine and CEO of the Fosnight Centre for Sexual Health says: “Nothing beats a full body massager. Utilising this long cord, rechargeable massager on the glutes, inner thighs, and lower back with a partner (or on your own) is the perfect way to warm up the core and pelvic floor muscles for sexual play.”
“Plus, with the soft silicone massager, it is safe to place directly on the genitals when you’re ready for more orgasmic bliss.”
BEST VIBRATORS
1. Dame Kip vibrator
Pros: Vibrator | Water-resistant | Quiet | USB rechargeable | Medium price point.
Best for: A soft silicone toy that’s also waterproof and spans five different power settings. Plus, this Kip is available in lemon or lavender colourways, is easy to hold from many angles, has rounded edges and a soft silicone touch providing vibration with pinpoint accuracy. Even better, it’s USB rechargeable (no batteries) and comes in a travel-friendly package. Perfect for those impending UK staycays…
What the experts think: Aleece Fosnight, board-certified physician assistant specialising in sexual medicine and CEO of the Fosnight Centre for Sexual Health says: “Dame’s Kip is bite-sized but with a punch. The sleek, soft silicone offers an ergonomic design for easy dexterity that can easily be used anywhere, even the shower as it is waterproof, and small enough to stow away in your luggage for a trip.”
“Plus you have 5 speeds and 5 intensities to find the perfect fit to match your body needs.”
2. Mantric Rechargeable Bullet Vibrator
Pros: Vibrator | Water-resistant | Quiet | USB chargeable | Low price point.
Best for: A simple, easy-to-use beginner’s toy ideal for any scenario. This powerful bullet sex toy is a Lovehoney favourite for a reason. It doesn’t vibrate, it throbs. Inside is a weighting mechanism, along with the motor, and this makes it seem like it has a mind of its own.
What the experts think: Annabelle Knight, a sex and relationship expert, says: “A bullet is the perfect starter sex toy. Discreet, not at all scary, and small enough to be carried in a handbag if you never want to be without it.”
“Bullets are all about clitoral stimulation and zoning in on your sweet spot and they provide wave after wave of pleasure. This Mantric bullet is at the luxury end of the bullet market because it looks super-classy and it delivers in spades. It will pay for itself in pleasure very quickly.”
3. Lovehoney G-Kiss Fluttering Clitoral and G-Spot Vibrator
Pros: Vibrator | Water-resistant | Medium noise level | USB rechargeable | Low price point.
Best for: A rabbit toy that’s good for both clitoral stimulation, penetration, and hitting your g-spot, too. You’ll get twice the stimulation, thanks to the additional rabbit-style ears, plus it focuses on the two most important intimate areas. It’s also waterproof, so there’s the option for shower play.
What the experts think: Annabelle Knight, a sex and relationship expert, says: “This toy is essentially two-of-the-price-of-one and enables the user to cocoon their sweet spots in gorgeous sensations.”
“It is really clever – a slimline bulb internally rests against the G-spot, while its tickler flutters against the clitoris for dual-point intimate pleasure. All that fun and super affordable, too – what’s not to like!”
4. The Artist
Pros: Vibrator | Water-resistant | Medium noise level | USB rechargeable | High price point.
Best for: The newest dual vibrator from Smile Makers and a first-of-its-kind sex toy.
What the experts think: Cecile Gasnault, brand director of Smile Makers, says: “Design the pleasure experience you want through UI/UX, ergonomics, and technology. You can finely adjust the intensity of the vibration mode by intuitively squeezing sensors on the handles rather than flipping through pre-set levels plus, you can flip through 9 pulsating effects that create feelings of movement.”
“An exciting feature is that you can control the internal and external heads independently, choosing from four different modes for the two heads. And lastly, the angle between the two heads can be adjusted to create an intimate fit.”
