10) The (Hitachi) Magic Wand

Hitachi Magic Wand

The recently renamed vibrator (Hitachi have dropped their branding and are just calling it The Magic Wand now. Boring.) has been a long-time favourite for those who like super-consistent and STRONG vibrations rocketing through their body. You’ve probably seen it, or one of its friends, pop up in a porn film or two, or perhaps you remember that classic Samantha moment in Sex and The City where she schools the department store clerk on why women buy these ‘massagers’. In Australia, The Bodywand is a fine substitute for the ugly, corded but amazingly strong Magic Wand. Both have plenty of silicone attachments, too. These make the Bodywand far more versatile than just ‘oversized, powerful clit vibrator’ and take it into ‘Rabbit’, ‘G-Spot’ and ‘Actually really useful back massager’ territory. Really though, you just need to head over to the amazing comic site Oh Joy Sex Toy, and read their review. Bam.

9) We-Vibe Touch

We-Vibe Touch

Simple, sophisticated design, the We-Vibe Touch is made of a medical-grade silicone, it’s waterproof and rechargeable and it has a simple one-push button functionality. Cycle through a selection of various vibration patterns, hold firmly against your clit and go for broke. Ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand while you use it, so it won’t get in the way if you wanna use it whilst grinding up on another human. Bonus.

8) LELO Mia 2

LELO Mia 2

This little lipstick vibrator is my favourite ‘keep in purse at all times’ vibrator. At a glance, it just looks like an upmarket lipstick or mascara, but unlike lipstick or mascara this will definitely get you off! With a pointed tip at one end and a flat, smooth surface at the other, all your clit coverage preferences are taken care of. It packs a punch but is still whisper-quiet as well as being USB-rechargeable, waterproofish (I wouldn’t trust it in the bath but I love it in the shower), phthalate-free and lockable (so your luggage won’t start vibrating, making it the perfect luggage-friendly vibe). Mia 2 makes a lovely gift for the traveller in your life, once you’ve already gotten one for yourself.

7) Fun Factory Stronic Eins

Stronic Eins (in pink)

Oh, Stronic Eins pulsator. You and I are going to be friends for life. BFFs. You make me happy and never sad. Read my full review of this amazing creature for more gushing (and then get to your own gushing with this toy ;))

6) Rocks Off Rock Chick

Rocks Off Rock Chick

A nice battery-operated number, this has been a solid choice for some time now. A C-shaped silicone sleeve that fits firmly over the Rocks Off RO-160 bullet (or slip it over the We-Vibe Salsa/Tango, if that is your preference). The ridges on the external section feel lovely against the clit. Hands free dual stimulation self-loving is rarely made this easy. Silly name, super toy.

5) Fleshlight

Fleshlight Pink Lady

Up until now, I’ve concentrated on toys that are good for clits and cunts but it would be remiss of me to not get a couple of cock toys into this list. Whilst I may not have my own permanent cock (just a drawer full of optional ones), I have a delightful array of friends, lovers and customers who have been happy to chat masturbation with me over the years and it would seem that the Fleshlight is the best-selling masturbator with good reason. It may not be as streamlined and sexy as the Tenga range; the gaudy pink is a rather peculiar take on the pink of actual pink bits, but the feeling of the patented cyberskin is something else. The suction and friction and texture of the Fleshlight has seen a lot of dudes trade in their stubborn ‘I don’t need a toy to have a wank’ attitude in exchange for their very own Fleshlight and a bottle of lube. Classic.

4) Fun Factory Cobra Libre

Cobra Libre

This toy creates a little more division in opinion, but it’s a very unique take on the masturbation sleeve concept and Fun Factory have done well with finding new ways to get guys off than the ol’ ‘add stretchy sleeve and manually masturbate with it’. It only fits the head of the cock inside the silicone sleeve, which is where they are most sensitive; it looks like a race-care and is controlled with a sleek slider panel for intensity and pattern type. I refer to this one rather affectionately as the ‘lazy wanker‘, because you can position the Cobra Libre and your body to create a rollicking good hands-free time.

3) LELO Gigi

LELO Gigi

This is what I refer to in my day job as a first-time toy buyer’s ‘safe bet’. Like, you either have been, are still or know someone who is a little hesitant or anxious about sex toys, right? The Gigi is probably one of the greatest toys to put a newbies mind at ease: it isn’t noisy; it isn’t large; it’s great externally and internally and it is super easy to use. A wonderful toy for clitoral or g-spot stimulation (the world’s best-selling, even), and comes in a turquoise colour that just kills me. So lovely and elegant. A staple for sure.

2) Tantus VIP

Tantus VIP

Sometimes, we don’t want vibration or pulsation. Sometimes, I just wanna take a well-shaped hunk of silicone (or glass, acrylic, stone, etc) and rub and pound one out that way. Also, I’m quite the fan of cock, so sometimes I want that hunk of silicone to be doing its best to emulate the sensation that one gets from cock. This is where the Tantus VIP (or Tantus VIP Super Soft) comes in. Complete with head and balls and dreamy g-spot curving, this is a gorgeous toy from the gorgeous Tantus and trust me when I say you’ll just want to straddle it and ride it like there was no tomorrow. Baby, you are a VIP. So get it in you.

1) Pico Bong Ipo

Pico Bong Ipo

This little number is from LELO’s battery-operated range, Pico Bong. You get LELO-quality silky silicone-coated ABS plastic vibrators at a fraction of the LELO price. Let’s face it, there are some occasions where you just don’t have access to electricity, so having a battery-operated toy or two in your arsenal is a smart move. The Ipo is a smooth little bullet vibe.. with a finger sleeve! So, you slide your finger on in to the sleeve and then lay or point it at your clit for easy, slip-free masturbating. How clever! You only need one little AAA battery and it lasts for a fair whack of time, depending on how long you use it, before you need a fresh battery. It has a whopping 12 different vibration programs to choose from, is waterproof to a depth of one meter and comes with a one-year warranty. Bongo Bam!
