Why I Chose It
The Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 3 has been the most recognisable and reliable clit sucker for years, until her older, and much hotter sister has now entered the picture. Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 3 has blown the original out of the water, with her up to date design and material upgrade. I always agreed with the phrase ‘If it ain’t broke don’t fix it’, until this Generation 3 version hit the market. It had to be picked as my test winner, there was no argument. If you are looking for realistic suction and vibration, then this is your perfect partner. Especially if you have a clitoris!
The new ‘Liquid Air’ option, which has a super thin membrane over the mouth made me sold on this toy completely. Our tester Rachel, who tested this toy said “the Liquid Air technology is a huge innovation that feels unlike any other toy I’ve tried before, and might actually be among the closest sensations to oral sex that a toy can produce.” She also said that the Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 2 feels like a “soft, fluttering tongue that you can tease your clitoris with or press down for satisfyingly firm pressure.” It’s the perfect type of stimulation I recommend everyone trying, especially the beginners!
This toy really has it all, from smaller vibrations to heavy rumbling and fast sucking. It can be used on yourself by yourself or someone else, as well as on your nipples! This is one of the best beginner toys as it isnt too overwhelming or powerful, meaning that it is a great introductory toy, with room to advance.
The app control makes this toy also great for couples – it can be used as a long distance toy, or if you don’t like being in control. Just sit back, relax and let someone else take the reins. As this is a clit sucker, it is performing at its best when paired with lube, as the wetness from the lube should create a tighter seal around your clit, intensifying the sucking. As this toy is made of silicone, it could be paired with a water-based lube.
Expert Pick Dame Pom
- Vibrating body massager
- No internal body means that the toy is flexible, and bendable
- Firm tip for more pinpoint stimulation
Vibrations
Specifications
Pros
- ✅ Super squishy and flexible
- ✅ Powerful, yet quiet vibrations
- ✅ Very easy to use
- ✅ Elegant and discreet design
Cons
- ❌ Short battery life
- ❌ Magnetic charging (easily disconnected)
- ❌ Can only be used for external stimulation
Why I Chose It
As a sex toy expert, I always recommend a palm vibrator for sex toy beginners. They are just so handy, and easy to use, and they let you explore your body in a new exciting way. The Dame Pom is the perfect choice for those wanting a sensual experience that lets you stimulate different body parts. The lack of an internal body makes the Pom special, making it super soft and squishy! You can use it for clitoris, labia, nipples, and any other spot that loves a bit of a buzz. I also appreciate the powerful, rumbly vibrations, and the fact that you can also use it during penetrative play with your partner!
Our tester, Mariah, who tested the Dame Pom loved it so much, that she said: “I love this toy and I personally cannot wait to have a long, and happy life together.” She was impressed with the design, pointing out that “it hugs nicely against your body,” and that the silicone feels luxurious and smooth against the skin. Power-wise, Mariah said, “It’s hard to find flexible vibrators that are still powerful, and this little guy knocked it out of the park.” I like that it’s so elegant, quiet, and comfortable, it’s simply a great toy for sex toy beginners!
I highly recommend this toy for anyone who loves a minimalist design and wants to elevate their solo routine from the good old ‘rub it out’ method to something more high-end.

- Silicone handle for a better grip
- Compact size

- ✅ Incredibly rumbly vibrations
- ✅ Powerful stimulation
- ✅ Versatile use
- ✅ Compact size, easy to store and for travel
- ✅ Discreet and elegant design
- ✅ Well-made and feels luxurious
Cons
- ❌ A little loud

Why I Chose It
As a beginner, I know what it is like being a little shy and reserved about sex toys. I am not one to often take my sex toys around with me in my handbag, but this one is so discreet it almost looks like a red lipstick! I love how small and secretive it is. It is small enough to take with me anywhere, even inside my wallet!
The We-Vibe Tango X is by far one of the best vibratos (overall) I’ve ever tried. The teardrop shape means you can enjoy pinpoint stimulation using the tip or broad stimulation by laying it flat against your body. The single-button controls make it easy to switch between the three different vibration intensities. The whole thing is covered in deliciously smooth silicone that feels fantastic against your body with a slick lube! It is one of the smaller toys on the list but don’t be fooled by the size, it can work wonders. It is super rumbly and a fantastic place to start your sex toy journey.
Our tester Rachel couldn’t contain her excitement in the review that she wrote, “My truly honest opinion is that the Tango X is one of the top vibrators on the market right now”. I have chosen to put this toy in the review as it is a great growth toy; a toy that you can start off with and then grow braver. It can be used with other toys like a dildo or butt plug, or on its own. You decide where to start – this is a very un-intimidating toy, so you can take it at your own pace.
