Cheap sex toys that are actually incredible, tested by our sex writers

Bullet vibrators are great for when you want to shoot straight to the point. Get it? As well as being an unbeatable addition to solo play, they're also ideal for using during partnered sex, thanks to the fact they're small enough to scooch between you and a partner. Quite literally the best of both worlds.

This Lovehoney Magic Bullet is discreet, quiet, and set with powerful vibrations that travel along its length in three intensities and seven patterns. It’s also tapered at the nib for precise clitoral stimulation.

Top tip: add it onto a cock ring or dildo to level up their game.

Wand vibrators are known for their power… which means they’re usually loud AF. So not ideal if you’re house-sharing or still living with your parents. But, Lovehoney has listened to the people and given us what we want: a scaled-back, battery-powered version of it famous magic wand that's quiet but still packs a punch.

Due to its mini size, it’s not remotely as intimidating as most wands out there. It also means you can keep it discreetly in your bedside drawer or pack it in your hand luggage to add to those good holiday vibes...

It has three speeds and feels great when held against the clitoris or moved around your entire vulva. Because of its mini size, it’s not rechargeable (it requires AAA batteries) and isn’t waterproof.

Ever since the Rose sex toy came catapulting onto the sex toy scene in around 2020, clit suction toys have been the most coveted category on the market.

If you're yet to try one of these little suckers (first of all — where have you been?) you might want to test the waters with a more budget option to make sure you like the sensation. (Although, if we were to hazard a guess we'd say you def will...)

This one from Lovehoney is powered by Pleasure Air Technology (yup, the very same that powers Womanizer toys) in six intensity levels, and even has a removable head to make it easy to clean post-sesh.

Whether for strapping or pegging, this slimline dildo is a great option for first-timers. At five inches and made from hypoallergenic silicone, it’s definitely not as intimidating as some other options.

Or, if you’re playing solo, the suction base can be secured to a floor, a wall, inside the shower... anywhere your imagination takes you.

Its curved shape expertly seeks out G-spots or P-spots, while its sleek finish and a generous serving of water-based lubricant will promise you an almighty climax or two...

If you're looking for one with a little more *visual appeal*, it also comes in a glittery six-inch option (we love) for a bit of extra cash.

Jiggle balls are great for strengthening kegel muscles (which can help improve penetrative sex) or can be used as toys that tease and stimulate your G-spot and vaginal wall.

As you move, the balls’ internal weights jiggle and roam, their sensation increasing in intensity along with the vigour of your activity.

These ones are fully encased in soft silicone (others are metal) making them a great beginner’s option.

Let’s not ignore the nipples guys — lest we forget, you can have an entire orgasm just from stimulating these little nubs.

Lovehoney’s Perfect Pair Silicone Nipple Suckers take nipple play to the next level, and at just under a tenner, it’s hard to say no!

They increase sensitivity using gentle suction and are ideal for nipple-toy beginners.

To apply, squeeze shut the bulbous end, place the ‘mouth’ over the nipple, and release. For best suction results, use a little bit of water-based lube around the rim. Remove after 10 minutes for ultra sensitive nips.

If you're completely new to the sex toy game, and you're not sure whether you want an external clit vibrator or an internal G-spot vibrator, you might want to splash out that *little* bit of extra cash for a toy that can do both.

This one from Dame is designed by a sexologist — so you can trust it will get the job done — and can be used on either of your two major erogenous zones to keep your playtime exciting.

As well as its delightfully curved tip, the entire shaft of the toy vibrates to the tune of five intensities, making it ideal for beginners and practiced players alike.

This petite butt plug is perfect for first-timers to anal play or anyone who just prefers things on the small side.

Even the smallest insertable (three inches, in this case) can bring your backside immense pleasure, especially if you have a prostate — just make sure to use plenty of water-based lubricant.

Plus, this one has a wide flared base, to prevent any unwanted accidents while you're in the middle of things.

Should extra petite sound a little too small for you, Lovehoney has also made it available in five other (reasonably priced!) sizes, including this slimline one with four insertable inches — so you can get it just right.

This Bondara 2-in-1 bullet and G-spot vibrator provides doubled-ended stimulation through its tapered (perfect for precise clit stimulation) and curved end — which can be used to massage your G-spot. And, it’s only £6.99!

Simply twist the base to activate its one vibration speed, and you’re away! For first-timers, we'd recommend starting with the tapered end on your C-spot to warm up (with plenty of lube, ofc) before venturing further down south to find your G-spot (which is two to three inches inside the front wall of the vagina, FYI).

There are a ton of reasons you might not want your sex toy to look like someone's genitals — but if the main one is that you don't want any unsuspecting family members, housemates, or friends to stumble across your wanking widgets, this one is your best bet at disguising your horny habits.

Shaped like a little seal, this Satisfyer toy is not only adorable but also functional, thanks to the suction power on one end and vibration on the other. Yup, that tail functions the same as the ‘ears’ on rabbit vibrators, and both the suction and vibration functions can be controlled separately thanks to its three buttons.

Sign us ort! (That's ‘up’ in seal, if you must know.)

Revolutionise your hand job game with this soft, stretchy, and super flexible masturbation egg from Satisfyer. Whether you're playing solo or with a partner, this egg can help to add a new kind of stimulation into the mix — but whatever you choose, it's one-time use, so make it count!

To use, remove the hydro-active interior from the plastic casing, and slip the opening over your/your partner’s penis, and move up and down along the shaft.

The ribbed interior adds an extra dimension of sensation, and it's even self lubricating. But (surprise, surprise!) it can never hurt to add extra lube to help smooth things along — we think.

There's a lot of debate around the G-spot — namely, whether it really exists at all (if you've ever had a feel up there for long enough you'll know the answer to this) and if it is or isn't connected to the clit.

Regardless of all this medical bickering, a lot of people get a lot of pleasure from sticking something inside their vagina. This vibrator is curved to hit against your ~mysterious~ G-spot and has a bulbous tip to create feelings of fullness and deep penetration.

It's complete with three speeds and four patterns for you to explore. Plus, its slimline design makes it a perfect choice for newbies.

It’s called 'UltiClimax' for a reason, guys! For those looking to put a twist on the classic bullet vibe, this one from Ricky adds texture play to your clit stimulation.

Thanks to its tapered design, this vibe can also be used for internal and G-spot pleasure (just don't put it in your asshole, whatever you do) and the button on the bottom makes it easy to switch speeds while you use it.

Speaking of which, it has 10 powerful vibration settings to cycle between.

Tired of regular dildos and looking for something that will engage your imagination a little more? Fantasy porn is having its moment, and there's no reason you can't improve your viewing (or reading) experience with a sex toy that reflects the world you're lost in.

This dildo from Fantasia is made up of seven insertable inches of ribbed elastomer, which attaches, via suction cup, to any surface you choose, so you can ride your way to out of this world orgasms. It even comes in three dreamy colours for you to choose from — unreal!
