The Scarlet testing team has the tough task of deciding which toys are keepers and which are duds based on the quality of the materials, their effects and value for money. You choose only from the best so you can save time and purchase with confidence. We buy toys from around the world from the best makers in Germany, Sweden, Canada and Japan amongst others.

A couple of quick things to remember when buying a toy. Every woman’s body is different so a toy recommended by a friend may work wonderfully or perhaps is just OK for you. Be prepared to experiment a little. Always use lube with a toy. Lube makes the experience so much more pleasurable by allowing the toy to glide more smoothly over your body. We recommend buying a good book to learn more, they don’t teach you this stuff at school or in the Girl Guides, most women have to learn this for themselves. “Tickle Your Fancy” by Dr Sadie Allison is a good example of a great starter book; it’s an inexpensive, quick and informative read providing benefits that will last a lifetime.

If you are in a store and wonder how to test a vibrator for clitoral stimulation, turn it on and test the vibrations by holding it against the tip of your ear lobe. Your ear lobe has lots of nerve endings making it highly sensitive, though still not as many as your clitoris....

The type of vibrator you buy depends on what you want it to do, here’s how we categorize them;

External vibes are usually the best way to begin. Vibes such as Laya, Sprite, or any of the bullets are a great way to start for self stimulation or to introduce a toy to your partner. If it's a gift, Nea is a beautiful vibe that any woman would want. Always use lube with a toy, water based O’My or Liquid Silk are excellent to get you started. You can also use a warming gel from O'My or Astroglide to heighten the experience even more. Always stimulate the area around your clitoris first before you gently slide the vibe onto your C-spot.

Most internal vibes can be used as external ones also. Some women like the feeling of fullness that a vibe such as Liv, Stranger or Elise can offer, when it is inserted into the vagina after stimulating the clitoris first. Other women looking for G-spot stimulation may require a vibe with an angled head such as Little Paul or Slimline G. The choice is yours, just remember every woman’s body is different so experimentation is key to finding what is right for you.

These vibes can multi-task. Examples of dual action vibes include the Rabbit Habit made famous by Sex and The City and Rabbit Pearl are two of the most popular ones. The pearls on these vibes stimulate the entrance to the vagina while the little bunny ears delight your clitroris.

These toys are for women who have some experience in using pleasure toys and know what their body responds best to. If you are looking for something a little different these toys are a teriffic option for your to explore, the Cone or the Rock Chick are excellent toys and the Hitachi Magic Wand is the most powerful vibrator available.
