Lovehoney Excite 10 Function Finger Vibrator review: a beginner-friendly toy that does the job

Price on writing: £15 | Buy now from Lovehoney

My verdict

The Lovehoney Excite 10 Function Finger Vibrator is a compact, budget-friendly toy that offers great value for money, especially given its versatility. 

The removable bullet means you’re essentially getting a 2-in-1 toy—use it as a finger vibe or a standalone bullet vibrator. It’s small, discreet, and travel-friendly, making it a great option for weekends away. 

While the battery-powered design means it’s not as powerful or long-lasting as a rechargeable wand, it still delivers solid stimulation with three speeds and seven patterns to choose from.

On the downside, it does run on button batteries, which don’t last as long and need to be stored carefully away from little hands at home. There’s also no travel lock, so you’ll want to be mindful when packing it. 

However, for an affordable and beginner-friendly clitoral vibrator, it does the job well and is a handy addition to any collection.

How I tested the Lovehoney Excite 10 Function Finger Vibrator

I tested this vibrator multiple times over the course of a year, exclusively with my husband, so all my experiences are based on partnered play. 

We mainly used it during foreplay and PIV intercourse as a way to enhance clitoral stimulation. 

While I haven’t tested it in the shower, it is fully submersible, which makes for easy cleaning and opens up possibilities for bath or shower play.

Small but mighty, the Lovehoney Excite finger vibrator is great fun to use with a partner

Packaging and what’s in the box?

Like most Lovehoney products, the Excite 10 Function Finger Vibrator arrives in discreet, no-fuss packaging—which is always appreciated. Inside the box, you’ll find:

• The finger vibrator, which consists of a silicone sleeve and a removable bullet

• Three LR44 batteries, so you can use it straight away (though replacements will be needed in time)

• A simple instruction leaflet on how to operate the toy

There’s no storage pouch, so you might want to store it in a separate case if you’re travelling with it… Lest your risk turning it on in transit!

How easy is it to set up the Lovehoney Excite 10 Function Finger Vibrator?

Setup is straightforward. The bullet comes pre-loaded with batteries, so all you need to do is press the single-button control to turn it on and cycle through the 10 settings. 

The bullet slots into the silicone finger sleeve easily, so you can switch between using it as a finger vibe or a bullet vibrator.

Just make sure to firmly press the button, as it can be a little stiff to change settings mid-use.

The toy is effectively a 2-in-1 as the bullet can be removed to use on its own

How does the Lovehoney Excite 10 Function Finger Vibrator look?

It’s a small, unassuming toy, measuring 2.5 inches in length and 3.5 inches in circumference. 

The finger loop design makes it easy to hold in place, and the soft silicone feels nice against the skin. The loop itself fits both my hand and my DH’s hands quite easily.

It’s not as sleek or luxe-looking as higher-end toys, but it’s practical and non-intimidating—ideal for beginners.

Is the Lovehoney Excite 10 Function Finger Vibrator suitable for sensitive clits?

Yes, I’d say it’s suitable for all levels of sensitivity. The three speed settings allow you to start low and build up, and the silicone sleeve helps to diffuse the vibrations for a gentler touch. 

However, if you prefer intense, rumbly vibrations, this may not be strong enough—especially compared to a mains-powered wand.

How noisy is the Lovehoney Excite 10 Function Finger Vibrator?

For a budget vibrator, it’s surprisingly quiet. With that said, it’s not completely silent, but it’s discreet enough that you won’t need to worry about being overheard through thin walls. 

If you’re using it under the covers, it should be barely noticeable.

The toy is submersible in water, making cleanup easy and adds fun to water play

How easy is it to clean?

Super easy! Since it’s waterproof, you can rinse it under warm water with mild soap or a sex toy cleaner. 

The silicone sleeve is non-porous, so a quick wash is enough to keep it hygienic. Just make sure to remove the bullet before cleaning, as water can damage the battery compartment.

What lube should you use with the Lovehoney Excite 10 Function Finger Vibrator?

Since the toy is made of silicone, it’s best to use a water-based lube. 

Silicone-based lubricants can degrade the material over time, so stick to something like Lovehoney Enjoy Water-Based Lubricant for smooth, friction-free play.

Who is the Lovehoney Excite 10 Function Finger Vibrator toy most suited for?

This toy is great for beginners, couples wanting to add a little extra stimulation during sex, or anyone looking for a small, discreet travel-friendly vibrator. 

It’s also ideal if you want a budget-friendly toy that offers variety without committing to a larger or more expensive vibrator.

How the Lovehoney Excite 10 Function Finger Vibrator compares to other finger vibrators

• Vs. Lovehoney Ignite 20 Function Finger Vibrator – The Ignite model has twice the settings and is rechargeable, making it more powerful and long-lasting, but it costs over double the price.

• Vs. Lovehoney Touch Me Rechargeable Silicone Finger Vibrator – The Touch Me model is twice the price and larger than the Excite finger vibrator. It is rechargeable, however, unlike the Excite. 

• Vs. Lovehoney Ignite Silicone Textured Finger Stimulators – The pleasure of clitoral stimulation without the vibrations. Equally as affordable, but you might miss the added rumbles that the Excite finger vibe offers. 

For the price, the Excite 10 Function Finger Vibrator holds its own, especially as a first-time vibrator or travel-friendly option.

It’s not a huge toy, but it does the job without getting in the way during use

My testing criteria

Based on the Lovehoney Excite 10 Function Finger Vibrator's performance across the given criteria, I would rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars. Here’s why:

Power and intensity: 3/5

• Moderate vibration strength; not the most powerful but effective for a budget toy.

• Three speeds, seven patterns—decent variety for the price.

• Motor power output isn’t specified, but as a battery-powered toy, it lacks the deep, rumbly intensity of rechargeable or mains-powered alternatives.

Noise level: 4/5

• Relatively quiet for a budget toy; won’t be overheard through a closed door.

• Could be slightly quieter on higher settings, but overall, discreet enough for shared living spaces.

Battery and charging performance: 2.5/5

• Runs on button batteries (LR44), which don’t last long and aren’t as convenient as USB rechargeable toys.

• No rechargeable option and replacing batteries can be a hassle.

• Power diminishes as the batteries run low, impacting performance.

Material and safety: 4/5

• Made from body-safe silicone, which is phthalate-free and non-porous.

• Fully waterproof (submersible), making cleaning easy.

• No medical-grade certification, but Lovehoney products are generally well-tested for safety.

Ergonomics and ease of use: 4/5

• Small and lightweight (2.5 inches long), easy to hold.

• Finger loop makes it comfortable to grip, though can be a bit snug for larger fingers.

• Button placement could be better—stiff to press and not always easy to change settings mid-use.

Versatility and customisation: 3.5/5

• Offers a mix of speeds and patterns, but lacks the deep, rumbly vibrations of pricier models.

• Dual functionality—can be used as a finger vibrator or a standalone bullet.

• Not flexible or bendable, but small enough for easy maneuvering.

Ease of cleaning and maintenance: 5/5

• Waterproof and easy to clean with toy cleaner or soap and water.

• Non-porous silicone makes it hygienic.

• Compatible with water-based lubes only.

Attachments and compatibility: 2/5

• No additional attachments or compatibility with apps/partner-controlled remotes.

• The removable bullet can be swapped out, but it’s not interchangeable with high-end bullet vibes.

Price vs performance: 4/5

• At £15, it’s a great entry-level vibrator that delivers good value for money.

• Performance is solid for the price, though button batteries add long-term cost and hassle.

• The 100-day return policy from Lovehoney gives peace of mind.

My final verdict

If you’re after a small, easy-to-use vibrator that’s discreet, affordable, and beginner-friendly, the Lovehoney Excite 10 Function Finger Vibrator is a solid choice. It’s not the most powerful toy out there, and the button battery setup means you’ll need to replace them eventually, but it’s a versatile, reliable little toy for clitoral stimulation.

For under £15, it’s hard to fault. Just don’t forget to store it safely—I learned the hard way when my kids went rummaging in my overnight bag for their Kindles!
