1The ultimate toy for… quiet masturbation
DurexSHOP NOW Durex, £16.69
The Durex real pleasure vibrator is a sleek, non-threatening massaging vibrator, perfect for alone time as well as for couples. The vibe has a beautiful purple soft silicone design with a classic smooth easy grip that feels like velvet against the skin. If you like your vibrations pretty strong but not too over-the-top, then this is definitely the one for you. With seven intense speed settings, it's powerful and great when used internally against the G-spot and clitoris. Not only is it extremely quiet, it comes with a cute cover and carry case.
2The ultimate toy for... powerful discreetness
LELOSHOP NOW LELO Mia 2, £69
For those after a bullet vibrator for their arsenal, the LELO Mia 2 is a really safe bet. You can get all sorts of cheap and cheerful bullets, but truly it's better not to scrimp when buying something you're putting into direct contact with a vulva. This bullet is super discreet, tiny and cute, but can be as powerful as you like. LELO toys are well made, engineered and just generally worth paying a little extra. Plus, it'll last you much longer than a £5 novelty bullet.

3The ultimate toy for... pure power
DoxySHOP NOW Doxy Wand, Lovehoney, £89.99
There's a reason so many sex experts and writers cite the Doxy Wand as their all-time favourite – and that's because of its sheer power. It looks a little intimidating, sure (and not a little bit like a karaoke mic) but it really isn't. You plug it into the mains (that's how damn powerful it is!) and use the soft grey headed bit on the whole vulva, stimulating the clit, labia, the whole thing. It doesn't have to be used at maximum speed, and the first few settings are cute and rumbly. But because of the surface area of the head, it gets a lot more of your sensitive bits involved, meaning the orgasm is verrrrry different to that with a bullet vibe.
4The ultimate toy for… rabbit lovers
Ann SummersSHOP NOW The Original Rampant Rabbit, Ann Summers, £56
Rabbits are classics for a reason. If you or your partner are into simultaneous G-spot and clitoral stimulation, a rabbit is a really safe bet. They've come a long way since they were first popular – and the Magnetize range from Ann Summers is a lot of fun. As well as having made a slight tweak to the shape (it's slimmer and girthier in all the right places), they've also added sine ridges on the shaft for extra internal stimulation. Plus, they're filled with magnets, which are supposed to increase blood flow and therefore sensitivity.

5The ultimate toy for... clitoral stimulation
Ann SummersSHOP NOW Moregasm Contour Rabbit Ears Vibrator, Ann Summers, £50
Bullet vibes are all well and good for clit stimulation, but they get a bit samey after a while. This clitoral vibrator, which yes, doesn't look like the average one, is so much more fun. The 'ears' are somewhere between rigid and flexible, so they feel really good but not too hard. You can position them wherever feels good – directly on the clitoris, to the side, against the labia – which makes this the perfect toy for experimenting and figuring out what kind of sensations to enjoy.
6The ultimate toy for... penis pleasure
TengaSHOP NOW TENGA Black Flip Hole Masturbator, Lovehoney, £69.99
Don't be put off by this absolute unit – we have it on good authority from many penis owners that it feels really damn good to lube yourself up and slip in and out of this. Inside, they get to rub against loads of different textures and it's basically like a really luxury hand job. Treat a partner to one of these ASAP.

7The ultimate toy for... vibrating butt stuff
We-VibeSHOP NOW We-Vibe Ditto Rechargeable Remote and App Control Vibrating Butt Plug, Lovehoney, £108.99
We-Vibe make some awesome app-controlled toys, which is bloody great because it means you don't have to faff around when the toy is in situ, and can just control it remotely. The Ditto is a really fun one for butt stuff. No matter what your gender or anatomy is, everyone can enjoy anal play. Of course, if using it with a penis-having partner, butt toys stimulate their prostate (aka the anal g-spot). This one is slim and has a flexible neck, so it's good for first/second/third time dabbles.
8The ultimate toy for... oral sex
SatisfyerSHOP NOW Satisfyer Pro2 Rechargeable Clitoral Stimulator, Lovehoney, £64.99
Oral-sex simulators for women can be hit or miss, but the Satisfyer is one of the best. Instead of making any direct contact with the clitoris, the little nozzle slips over the top of it and sends pressure waves towards it. This creates a whole new sensation, like nothing else – it's not exactly akin to oral sex with another human being, but it's not far off.

9The ultimate toy for… G-spot goodness
LELOSHOP NOW Lelo Isla Rechargeable Vibrator, £145
They say you get what you pay for, and in this case it's so true. The Lelo Isla is a beautiful thing. The shape and design is just gorgeous and it's boxed and presented so well you would never guess it's a sex toy. If you've never experienced a G-spot orgasm before, then get this ASAP. The Lelo's one of the quietest vibrators on the market and it has the most incredible settings that go from sensual pulsing to mind blowing continuous vibrations which will guarantee G-spot stimulation. It even has a finger loop so you have more control. Not only that, if clitoral vibrations are your thing, then the vibrating head of the Lelo Isla won't disappoint.
10The ultimate toy for... more affordable G-spot pleasure
Je JoueSHOP NOW Uma Je Joue Adjustable G-Spot Vibrator, Lovehoney, £74.99
The Uma Je Joue is perfect in every way, from the soft luxurious silky texture, to the seven and a half inches of G-spot-teasing shaft. When inserted, the head of the vibe delicately bends towards the G-spot and the vibrating soft silicone shaft stimulates both clitoris and the G-spot. The best feature this vibe offers is the perfectly formed head at the tip of that gives off the strong vibrations when held gently between your G-spot and clit. One of the quieter vibes out there, too…

11The ultimate toy for... sex with a penis-having partner
LovehoneyBUY NOW Desire Luxury Rechargeable Vibrating Cock Ring, Lovehoney, £31.49
Having penetrative sex with someone with a penis? A sturdy cock ring is a really good shout. Forget those crappy novelty jelly cock rings you get for a couple of quid (they are toxic, avoid at all costs!), and go for a proper piece of sex toy machinery. The person with the penis slips their shaft inside the ring, and then you switch on the internal vibrators. Once penetrative sex has commenced, you'll get some mad stimulation. It makes partnered sex even more fun IMHO.
12The ultimate toy for... penetrating a vagina-having partner
LovehoneySHOP NOW Toy Joy Double Digger Penetration Double-Ended Dildo, Lovehoney, £59.99
Want to penetrate a vagina-having partner sans penis? This strapless strap-on vibrator sits inside you and your partner.
