10. Ammunition for Love
At only 80mm long, this small, cute bullet is the ideal toy to keep in your handbag. Powered by a button on the base, it's the world's most powerful bullet. Even better, it's waterproof so you can take it into the shower and buzz away without anyone hearing what you're doing.

9. Look Shy
Designer toys are often all hype and no delivery but this uber-classy solid silver toy does the job while looking stunning. To turn it on, simply tap it against a hard surface and it'll start vibrating so quietly that you can hardly hear it. Rotate through different pulsing functions by tapping it once more. The lack of visible controls means that this looks more like a work of art than a vibrator. Great if you have a prudish partner or nosey flatmates.

8. Durex Wand
Perfect for women who haven't used a vibrator before, the sleek body-contoured curves and soft massage pad feel heavenly when stroked over the body and even better stimulating the clitoris and G-spot. Rechargeable, this luxury vibrator runs for over an hour, whether you choose the subtle or intense vibrations.

7. The Wave
This latest incarnation of the Rabbit has a rippling effect to go with the usual clitoral stimulation. These waves can be varied in frequency, and moved up or down the shaft depending on what floats your boat. If you already have a rabbit, imagine that it's got the rotating balls all the way through the shaft and you'll get a vague idea of how this feels. Quieter than the original rabbit, this is a great twist on an old classic.

6. Vibrating Breast Massagers
Good boob toys are hard to find but these breast massagers sit on top of your nipples and buzz away, leaving your hands free to use another toy down below. They are a tad tricky to turn on and off, particularly if you have lube on your fingers, and the battery is internal so once they die, you need to buy more, but for the pleasure they can bring they're well worth the price tag. Using tit tape to attach them will mean that they don't fall off at an inopportune moment.

5. Mantric Bedside Bullet
This small and powerful toy offers seven different functions, from rhythmic pulsing to a constant buzz. It packs a serious punch so if you're after a toy with attitude, this is one of the best to go for. It's small enough to easily hold against your clit during doggy-style sex, or press against your man's perineum - between his balls and his anus - while you're giving him a blow job. Make sure you clean it with alcohol if you're planning on sharing it though.

4. Japanese Ejaculating G-spot Vibe
If your man's intimidated about you using a vibe, NEVER introduce him to this not so little wonder. Delivering clitoral stimulation, G-spot thrills and ejaculation (with lube rather than semen, fairly obviously) it does everything a large penis can do and more. The one down side is that the bulb you squeeze to release the 'ejaculate' can slip off if you overfill it, so don't be greedy unless you want lube all over your sheets.

3. Miyakadori Remote Controlled Bullet
This discreet bullet-style vibrator comes with a sexy secret: a remote control that can set it going from seven and a half metres away. For an erotic night out, slip it into your undies, give the remote control to your partner and let them give you a buzz for a discreet form of public sex. Slickly designed with tasteful packaging and six different vibrate functions, the bullet can also be used in isolation. Powered by three AAA batteries (not supplied) and a 23AE 12V battery (supplied, conveniently, as they're a lot harder to find) this is ideal if you're looking for a first-time toy to share with a partner.

2. The Lelo Nea
This pebble-shaped toy with a dimple in the middle fits expertly over the clit and delivers vibrations varying from mild to relatively intense (though not as strong as the bullets listed below). It can also be inserted just into the nerve-packed vaginal entrance, but no further as you don't want it getting stuck. Elegantly packaged, and powered by charging with a mobile phone charger (supplied) this is a great toy if you can't be bothered to stock up on batteries, or want to save the planet. A sophisticated designer toy that's well worth the price.

1. The Purple Thunder
If you only own one toy, make it this one. Although it looks like a Jessica Rabbit crossed with a cactus (albeit a purple one) the fronds all over the shaft and clitoral stimulator are actually super soft. As a result, you can vary sensation from hard thrusting to extra mild flickering (or vice versa). Try holding it so that the clitoral stimulator only just touches your clit with the ends of the fronds for a tantalisingly teasing orgasm. At this price, the 'mind-blowing orgasms per pound' ratio can't be beaten.
