Aka, how to choose the best sex toys for you and 18 of the best vibrators, dildos, and more to *add to basket* ASAP
If you’re searching for the best sex toys, we’ve got a fun fact for you. Did you know that the sex toy industry makes nearly £12 billion yearly?
According to UK sex toy stats, roughly half of you have played around with a sex toy, while an Indiana University study found that 50% of women use a vibrator regularly.
Right now, as lockdown restrictions ease, dating (and sex with someone not from your household) is back with a bang. Couples who don’t live together are finally allowed – legally – to have sex again. And boy, are they: there was an 363% increase search for the morning after pill the day after lockdown lifted.
But if you’re not back on the dating scene quite yet – or are just keen to make your alone time – a bit more kinky, you’re in the right place.

Why should I use one of the best sex toys for women?
So what’s the big deal, aside from it feeling, well, really rather good? You may be surprised to hear that the health benefits of using a sex toy are multi-faceted.
Studies suggest that investing in (and experimenting with) a sex toy can, for women:
- Ease body aches and menstrual cramps
- Assist with relaxation and deep sleep
- Reduce night sweats in menopausal ladies.
Plus a 2019 Harvard study found that sex toys can help ease vaginal atrophy, vulval or vaginal pain and vaginal tightness, which is sometimes caused by vaginismus, vulvodynia, lichen sclerosus, gynae cancer treatments, low libido and neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis.
Alongside the reams of health benefits of getting intimate with one of the best sex toys on the market, they can also have a positive impact on your emotional wellbeing. Reports show that using a vibrator can help promote confidence, happiness and relaxation. (Pssst: read our guide to the best masturbating techniques and tantric sex, now). The dream deal.

Good for: Hitting the spot
Review: The Moregasm+ Bullet might be small, but that doesn’t mean it’s not powerful – even the first (and lowest) setting promises to surprise you.

11. The MIA 2 from LELO – £69
Good for: When someone might see your vibe, ie you’re travelling
Review: It’s a lipstick… or is it? This is a vibrator cunningly disguised as a lipstick. It even comes in different shades of pink and has a USB charger, so you can charge it on the go.
12. Doxy Extra Power Massager – £89.99
Good for: When you just gotta have it
Review: If you’re looking for stability and reliability, you can’t beat the Doxy Extra Power Massager. It’s 30 per cent 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.
13. LELO NEA
2 – £85
Good for: Playing with your partner
Review: This sleek rechargeable toy is what Marky Mark should have been rapping about, with eight different settings making for a night of good vibrations. Designed to be easily shared with a playmate or used on your own, it’s also waterproof if you decide to spice up shower time.
14. LILY 2 – £119.99
Good for: Adding atmosphere to your experience
Review: Kick all your senses into overdrive the next time you fool around with this cute scented vibrator. There’s flowery scents like rose and wisteria or lavender and Manuka honey as well as a delicious Bordeaux wine and chocolate edition that’ll put an unexpected spin on playtime. Scent a big deal for turning you on? You’ll love this chocolate-scented sex toy candle.
15. Satisfyer Pro Deluxe – £36.69
Good for: When you’re short on time
Review: This little gem-shaped vibrator works hard, using sound waves and Satisfyer’s insane suction technology for an avalanche of orgasms. A little more discreet than its counterparts, it fits nicely into your hand and charges with a USB cable so you don’t have to worry about those pesky batteries.
16. Crescendo – £149
Good for: Control freaks
Review: No playtime experience will ever be the same with this customisable vibrator, which allows you to choose and create your own vibration patterns, take into the shower and even bend into different shapes to help you hit the right spot. This is definitely one for the technophiles, as it syncs to an app full of different vibrations depending on what kind of mood you’re in. If you’re feeling a little creative, you can also create your own good vibrations and also control where along the toy’s length that you want the biggest impact.
17. Womanizer 2Go – £79.99
Good for: Grab n’ go ladies
Review: For the more reserved of us, the Womanizer 2Go clitoris stimulator looks like a standard lipstick (albeit, a much larger one.) So, it won’t attract as much attention if found in your bedside table because it more looks like a box, if anything. But, don’t let it’s novelty fool you – this clitoris-stimulator is powerful, and doesn’t actually have any direct contact, thanks to its hollow design, so it won’t over-stimulate you.
18. Kip – £69
Good for: targeted stimulation
Review: American brand Dame Products has just started shipping to the UK, and its lipstick vibrator is both powerful (there are five fabulous speeds) and waterproof. Available in lemon or lavender, it’s easy to hold from many angles, has rounded edges and a soft silicone touch provide 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…
