What Mumsnet users say

“I have a Doxy wand and it is incredibly good.” ItsNachoCheese

“I've got a Doxy wand and it's one of my favourite toys. DP runs it up my thighs and over my vulva, teasing me with the vibrations. He'll move on to holding it against my clit whilst his fingers are inside me, stroking my G spot. Sometimes I'll move it over my clit while he's fucking me. He likes it on his balls and perineum too. It's quite intense especially at the higher speeds so we usually build up the intensity by just lightly brushing it over body parts.” PinotPony

Our verdict

As you can see from above, the Doxy Original wand massager receives rave reviews from Mumsnet users, and it’s easy to see why. Made in the UK, the Doxy’s original massager is a powerful sex toy that delivers intense penetration power, just where you need it. Many have said they have never had an orgasm like it!

Beware the strength of the vibrations, though. Lots of people use fabric to slightly dampen down the sensation, which can be a little overwhelming if you’re new to sex toys. But overall, this one is a stone cold classic, and would be a great choice for exploration with a partner.

These clamps are made with smooth silicone, for maximum comfort as you stimulate sensitive nerve endings.

What we like

• Hands-free orgasms

What we don’t like

Our verdict

A sex toy with a difference - the Dame Eva II is designed to be entirely hands-free, and suitable for both solo and partner play. The flexible wings sit inside your labia, while the vibrator itself is placed on top of your clitoris. However, while this innovative technology sounds promising, there are some issues that users have reported. Including if your skin is too slippery, it can move out of place. It’s also quite large in size and doesn’t come in different sizes to suit different labias.

Nevertheless, if you’re up for trying something new with your partner, trying the Dame Eva II could be a great way to go.

15. Best wrist cuffs for couples: Ann Summers Icon Buckle Handcuffs

RRP on writing: £18 | Buy now from Ann Summers

Key specs

What we like

What we don’t like

• They can’t be individually attached to a bedpost, for example
