Test Winner Lovehoney Power Play G-Spot Vibrator
- Slimline g-spot vibrator
- Curved shaft and a rounded tip
- Made of firm, body-safe silicone
- Battery-operated.
Vibrations
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Vibrations are very powerful
- ✅ Simple and elegant design
- ✅ The tight curve targets the g-spot perfectly
- ✅ Really good value for money
Cons
- ❌ Only splashproof
- ❌ Battery operated
- ❌ Battery cap can be tricky to get off
Why I Chose It
I picked out the Lovehoney Power Play G-Spot Vibrator as the Test Winner today because it offers extremely good value for money. This is a very affordable g-spot vibrator that doesn’t compromise on performance! Our tester, Natasha, actually found that using the lower settings was enough to feel enjoyable:
“The patterns are all pretty simple, but the third speed is very intense. I’m not sure if it just feels more intense because of the pressure on the g-spot or whether it actually is but it’s GOOD.”
What I really like about the Lovehoney Power Play G-Spot Vibrator is the design, specifically the tight curve that targets the g-spot without much effort. The shaft is rounded and bulbous enough to feel satisfying, but the slim center of the vibrator makes it comfortable beginners as well! The wide handle provides good grip and the firm silicone makes it feel a lot more intense than any flexible toy would. That’s a win in my book!
I also love that g-spot vibrators can be used for external stimulation as well. So, even though you aren’t interested in penetration, this is a super versatile vibrator that can grow with you, if you ever want to explore g-spot pleasure.
Of course, the main drawback is that it’s battery-operated. Although, this will be a more common feature in more affordable vibrators. In this case, I very much think it’s worth it and doesn’t serve as an indication of a poor quality vibrator. It performs well, is body-safe, and is very budget-friendly.
Runner-Up plusOne Vibrating Bullet
- Silicone bullet vibrator from plusOne
- Single-button interface controls 10 vibration settings
- Fully waterproof
- USB rechargeable.
Vibrations
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Quiet and discreet
- ✅ A lot of different vibration settings
- ✅ Available in a lot of different colors
- ✅ Very easy to clean and submerge in water
Cons
- ❌ Surface attracts dust and lint easily
- ❌ Does not come with a storage bag/case
- ❌ Vibrations are more buzzy than rumbly
Why I Chose It
The plusOne Vibrating Bullet is another great option for an affordable vibrator. It’s perfect for beginners but powerful enough to please more experienced users. Now, this one is definitely for those who prefer external stimulation, especially something that creates direct contact with the clitoris. Although, I personally like using bullet vibrators on all external parts of the body both during solo masturbation and partnered sex.
It’s coated in body-safe silicone and is also 100% waterproof so it’s perfect to take with you in the bath or the shower. It’s also incredibly petite and easy to travel with. However, one small con is that it doesn’t come with a storage bag for this. Although, for those looking for a cheap vibrator, I think it’s quite nice that a storage bag is not included in the price. Our tester, Alexa, said she would “have been totally fine spending a little more money on it because the quality is so good, and its functionality is exactly what I look for in a vibrator.”
One big pro about the plusOne Vibrating Bullet is that it’s USB rechargeable and actually has a pretty good battery life (up to 2 hours). In terms of performance, Alex, did find that it was more buzzy than rumbly. Still, this got the job done for her:
“I find this to be my go-to vibrator if I am looking for a quickie. […] I really don’t have any complaints about its performance. I have a lot of toys and always find myself reaching for this one!”
Best For Beginners plusOne Mini Massager
- Sleek and compact palm vibrator
- Coated in body-safe silicone
- Single-button interface controls 10 different vibration settings
- Fully waterproof
- USB rechargeable.
Vibrations
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Comfortable to hold and grind on
- ✅ Lots of different settings to choose from
- ✅ Rechargeable
- ✅ Great for using in the bath or shower
Cons
- ❌ May not be strong enough for some
- ❌ The vibrations are on the buzzy side
Why I Chose It
The plusOne Mini Massager is very similar to the Runner-Up. Well, they’re also from the same brand, so things like vibrations settings and battery life is similar. What makes it stand out to me as a beginner-friendly choice because of palm-sized design. It’s made to fit snugly in your hand and is also ideal to put on a pillow (or any other surface) to grind on. Grinding is often the preferred method of masturbation for beginners, so this design makes for a smooth transition from manual to automatic stimulation.
Again, the ability to recharge this vibrator makes it stand out from a lot of other cheap vibrators out there. The fact that it’s 100% waterproof is also a great sign of a quality vibrator.
As far as the performance goes, our tester, Percival, has found that it’s strong enough to “become a bedside favorite, even for the more experienced veterans, without being too overwhelming or too strong. Solid and reliable, I just wish it was a little bit stronger for my own preferences.” So for people who know they need a lot of vibration power it may not be a good fit, but if you are a beginner looking for gentle buzz, this is a good user-friendly, and affordable body massager.
Best For Dual Stimulation Lovehoney Mon Ami Dual Curved Vibrator
- Silicone rabbit vibrator
- Curved insertable shaft with a bulbous yet slightly tapered tip
- Smooth and rigid silicone
- Fully waterproof
- 3-button interface controls the 12 vibration settings.
Vibrations
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Rigid material provides firm internal massage
- ✅ Great to take with you in the bath or shower
- ✅ Clitoral stem is a bit flexible
- ✅ Dual motors design distributes the vibrations evenly
Cons
- ❌ Not adjustable and therefore not suitable for all body types
- ❌ Can easily move around during use
- ❌ Can be loud on the higher settings
Why I Chose It
The Lovehoney Mon Ami is a super sleek and elegant rabbit vibrator that offers a lot of vibration strength at a very reasonable price! It’s a great option for those who love both external and internal stimulation, as well as firm g-spot massage. The rigid silicone makes the sensations feel a bit more intense compared to a more flexible toy. This adds to the overall performance of the vibrator, which, I think, gives it a lot more value for money.
As someone who doesn’t personally enjoy rabbit-style vibrators, I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone who hasn’t tried a rabbit vibrator before. Since there is no adjustability in the insertable shaft (and very little flexibility in the clitoral stem), this toy will be difficult to use if your anatomy doesn’t totally line up with the fixed design of the vibrator. The rigidity definitely plays a part in this since an awkward fit will make the sensation a lot more uncomfortable.
Fortunately for our tester, Daphne, it fit well with her body and she ultimately had a great time with it. It did take a bit of practice since she noted that the clitoral shaft sometimes “would slip out of place”. Still, the dual motor design does provide strong vibrations and the overall verdict was pretty impressive for such a cheap vibrator:
“Is this my new favorite toy? No. It is in my top three, though, and I’m excited to keep using it to play around with positions and, ironically, edge play. So be warned, if you’ve never used a rabbit, there’s a learning curve. But boy is it worth it. I mean, honestly, I can’t complain about spending an hour to figure out how to find my orgasm at the end of the Mon Ami double rainbow.”
Best Wearable Lovehoney Desire Remote Control Cheap Love Egg Vibrator
- Silicone egg vibrator
- Poseable body for full customization
- Clitoral tail for dual stimulation
- Wireless remote control
- Fully waterproof
- 16 vibration settings to explore.
Vibrations
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Wearable design for discreet public play
- ✅ Great for power play with a partner
- ✅ Rechargeable
- ✅ Bulbous design targets the g-spot
Cons
- ❌ Comes with a bit of learning curve
- ❌ The more powerful vibrations are buzzy
- ❌ The clitoral tail is a bit bulky
Why I Chose It
The Lovehoney Desire Egg Vibrator is another affordable vibrator that’s perfect for those who want something wearable for both internal and external pleasure. This little egg vibrator is coated in body-safe silicone and is 100% waterproof. It’s great for exploring public play or even just experimenting with some power play with your partner around the house. The remote control really adds an interactive element which makes it a lot more versatile than it looks at first glance.
In terms of design, I’m a big fan of egg vibrators that feature this super bulbous egg-shaped design. This shape is perfect for targeting the g-spot and giving a satisfying stretch during use. The fact that the body itself can be adjusted to whatever angle works for you and your body is also a huge plus in my book. The tail itself is nice and wide and designed to provide some additional external clitoral stimulation.
Now, as far as performance goes, our tester, Britnee, didn’t find that it had the strongest vibrations in the world. However, it does have a lot of settings and is one of the most quiet toys she own (which has made it a go-to for her!). Overall, it’s pretty versatile since she noted that “it also had use externally, draped over my partners shaft during penetrative sex, giving us both great sensations”. The conclusion of her review was it’s a great toy for spicing up couples’ play and using during either foreplay or solo masturbation.
Most Powerful Orion Your New Favorite Wand Massager
- Wand massager with a wide, silicone head
- Sturdy mini handle and flexible neck
- 3-button interface controls 8 vibration settings
- Rechargeable and splashproof.
Vibrations
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Very compact and travel-friendly for a wand vibrator
- ✅ Powerful and rumbly vibrations
- ✅ Comfortable grip and the buttons are easy to press
- ✅ The wide head provides stimulation to a broad surface area
- ✅ Made of body-safe materials
Cons
- ❌ Only splashproof, not submersible
Why I Chose It
For all of those who absolutely love earth-shattering vibrations on their clit (or anywhere else for that matter) the Orion Your New Favorite Wand Massager is an amazing budget-friendly option. You’ve got the same kind of power from a regular magic wand vibrator but the price and practicality of a much smaller vibrator.
First of all, the body-safe silicone head is the first pro I’d like to point out. Some of the most popular full-sized wands out there aren’t even made of 100% body-safe materials (yeah, I’m looking at you Magic Wand Original…) so for such an affordable option for offer non-porous silicone is a huge plus in my book.
Secondly, the short, easy-grip handle and the flexible neck make for a comfortable experience (even for those with limited hand or wrist strength). As our tester, Natasha, noted in her review: “I find it much easier to hold and guide to the perfect places than a full-size wand. It is also suitable for people with vibration sensitivity in their hands like me, as it is designed to not really be felt in the handle.”
Lastly, the powerful and rumbly vibrations of this toy fulfilled its prophecy:
“When I saw “Your New Favorite”, I scoffed a little bit. I wasn’t convinced at all, but Orion kept their promise and it really is my favorite! Not just my favorite massager, but my favourite toy, period!”
Most Discreet ROMP Wave Lay-On Clitoral Vibrator
- Lay-on vibrator designed to fit perfectly in your palm
- Made of body-safe silicone
- Rechargeable
- Single-button interface controls the 10 vibration settings.
Vibrations
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Very quiet and discreet
- ✅ Fits perfectly in your palm and is great for grinding on
- ✅ Can be used in both the shower and bath
- ✅ Great for beginners
Cons
- ❌ Vibrations are not super strong
- ❌ More buzzy than rumbly
Why I Chose It
Even though the ROMP Wave isn’t the most powerful (or most affordable vibrator out there) it is still a great option for beginners who don’t want to break the bank (or wake up the whole house during your playtime). Our tester, Morgan, thought “it could be used similarly to the We-Vibe Touch, and at nearly a third of the price, it’s an excellent dupe.”
The body-safe silicone makes it super safe and comfortable to use on any external part of the body. Use it to explore your own erogenous zones or your partner’s. The design fits super comfortably in the palm so it’s easy to move around naturally as an extension of your own hand.
“The light, buzzy vibrations are not intense enough on their own, in my opinion, but the contoured shape fit well between my partner and myself and was a delightful sensation to grind against whilst riding my partner.” Grinding (on a partner, pillow, or a chair) is one of the best ways to use a lay-on vibrator like this. Even though it doesn’t have many different features to explore, I still think this design adds to the versatility.

Materials To Look For in Cheap Vibrators
Materials to Avoid:
- PVC
- Jelly
- Soft plastic
A lot of cheap vibrators are made with cheaper materials like this. These are, however, often porous and harbor dirt and bacteria over time. This renders them unsafe for internal use as this can cause infections or irritation. If you do ever want to use a sex toy made of porous materials, I highly recommend putting a condom on it first.
Materials to Look For:
- Silicone
- ABS plastic
- Stainless steel
- Borosilicate glass
These materials are all non-porous and completely body-safe. They are super easy to keep clean and they are also far more durable and long-lasting compared to other affordable vibrators made of cheap materials.
How to Find the Balance Between Price and Quality
Even if you are on a budget, you shouldn’t have to settle for subpar or unsafe sex toys!
Thankfully, there are more and more options for cheap sex toys that still deliver in terms of quality! Here are some tips for finding them:
- Always shop for non-porous, body-safe materials (like silicone, ABS plastic, borosilicate glass, and stainless steel). There are some really great cheap silicone vibrators out there! I recommend finding the category of vibrator you want on a large sex toy store like Lovehoney or TooTimid, filtering the results by the material and then sorting the remaining results from low to high price.
- Battery-operated vibrators tend to be cheaper than rechargeable ones.
- Look out for sex toy sales! Most sex toy web shops have regular sales where you can snag a great quality sex toy at a much cheaper price. Black Friday is a prime time to get yourself a bargain but there always seems to some kind of seasonal sale running!
- Never compromise when it comes to safety! If you are looking for an anal toy, make sure it is anal safe (it must have a flared base).
- Don’t be tempted to shop from Amazon or online marketplaces as you can’t be sure you are getting a safe, genuine product.
