Get the best bang for your buck (pun totally intended).
By Women's Health — Written on May 17, 2017
In the post-Yelp world, reviews are everything. Most of us won't even think about going to a restaurant or hiring a handyman without doing a little research first.
Why not apply this mentality to your next sexy shopping spree? While we all have our own unique set of sexual preferences, it's probably safe to assume that the gadget that got 500 other people off will work for you too.
To save you some time, we looked into which toys are, ahem, performing best on Amazon.
The criteria? The sex toys that made the cut each had at least 200 reviews and were designed for women and couples (sorry, no fleshlights here). From there, we started at five-star products and worked our way down. Oh, and we included some of the most telling (and hilarious) reviews so you know what you're getting yourself into.
All you have to do is decide which ones to add to your rotation.
7-Inch Purple Dildo

This toy boasts a "realistic sensation and feel" due to its G-spot stimulating curved design. It's also made from "extra soft" FDA-approved body-safe silicone and has an attached suction cup on the end (use your imagination). According to customer reviews, it does the job.
"You can stick it to the wall or the floor and it isn't going anywhere." —Shatoria S.
"Very luxurious feel and look to this realistic dong." —Amazon Customer

Pleasure Wand

If you're looking for something less realistic, this glass dildo may be just the ticket. The three bubbles on the end can be used inside the vagina for extra stimulation or as a handle if you're inserting the curved end. Clearly, this toy is working overtime to get you the best bang for your buck. And people are into it.
"Magical. This is just what the doctor ordered. I love the smooth feel and it really holds heat and cold. Try it, you will not be disappointed. I like this product it was as described by Amazon and I am very happy with the product. I will buy more if I find that I am in need of them." —GJM

Remote Control Bullet

This product promises better sex, extra orgasms, increased intimacy and, apparently, it delivers. It works just the way you think—you insert the bullet and control its vibrations via the remote. You can also experiment by having your partner control the vibes using the remote.
"This bullet may be tiny but it packs one hell of a punch...You can even take it out and turn it on and off while in public, it's that quiet." —Brandon

Magic Wand

Remember that episode of Sex and the City when Samantha exchanged that "neck massager" at Sharper Image? This is that vibrator. And it's the definition of a classic. The description calls the vibrating head a personal massager, but that's an understatement. This thing packs some serious power.
"If u love ur chick, buy her one of these! Works like a charm. Her back has never felt better. And by back I mean her vagina, obviously." —Christian H.
"If you are thinking about getting this and are a female: get it. If you are thinking about getting this for a female: get it. If you are thinking about getting this and want to know a female: get it. Also, recommend a good waterproof bed sheet." —Mark
Buy it: Magic Wand Original Hv-260, $44.99, amazon.com
G-Spot Vibrator

Lelo's MONA 2 (get it?) features six vibration patterns that are easily controlled by four buttons on the handle. It's great for external stimulation, but it truly shines when used on your G-spot.
"The material is extremely smooth and silky. It fits perfectly into my hand and it has never been awkward to use, something I have found with other similar products" —Dana R.
"Geebus. This is POWERFUL. My man has scoliosis and I occasionally use it to massage his back, he says it makes his back go numb after a while because the vibrations are so strong." —Hannah L.

The Hummingbird

This little pink wonder has 50 (!!!) unique vibration settings, so you'll never get bored. Plus, most reviewers rave about the toy's hands-free capabilities and teeny, tiny size. Some reviews even said this guy brought them their first orgasm.
That's no exaggeration:
"With this product I naturally am more wet and lubricated due to the extra stimulation and the orgasms that I have are so intense it's like fireworks...I have so many endorphins run through me that I literally scream, cry, and laugh all at the same time. It is AMAZING! I highly recommend." —Jacqueline L.
Buy it: Lyps Hummingbird Vibrating Clit Massager, $23.99, amazon.com
Beginner's Butt Plug

Nothing says sexy time quite like butt jewelry, at least according to the 400 people who reviewed this steel booty plug. It comes in blue, white, pink, and purple, so there are plenty of ways to match your aesthetic. And, based on the reviews, it's basically the Goldilocks of sex toys.
"Got it in on the first try and I've never had a butt plug before so to me it wasn't too big or too small." —Angela K.
Buy it: Hmxpls Pink Jeweled Beginners Butt Plug, $4.99, amazon.com
Turbo Bullet

This eight-speed vibrator is a popular pick on Amazon for its price and dual-motor function. It's available in single and double bullets, depending on how much stimulation you're looking for.
"This is probably my ninth bullet and by far the best one I have owned. I cannot and have not taken it all the way up in the speeds and a three to five is strong enough for me." —Taborri
"I can feel it through her body while we're spooning (her applying the device to her clitoris with my approach coming in from the rear). It's that powerful." —Ubgoodnow
Buy it: CalExoticsTurbo 8 Accelerator, Single Bullet, $12.49, amazon.com
Double Duty Vibe

At first glance, you can tell that manufacturers made sure that this toy felt as close to a human penis as possible without making it look realistic at all, which we can appreciate. The ridges on the head of the toy are supposed to provide additional internal stimulation while the second motor stimulates the clitoris. Even more fun: It's waterproof!
"My privates are still pulsating almost an hour later! Good for the money!" —Amazon Customer
"For a long time, I thought that I just couldn't have an orgasm. Nothing, and no one, worked. This not only gave me my first orgasm but even made me squirt!" —Amazon Customer
Buy it: Utimi Upgraded Silicone 10 Speed G Spot Vagina and Clitoris Vibrator, $19.48, amazon.com
Vibrating Cock Ring

It's not like a regular cock ring—it's a cool cock ring. But really, this thing does it all and then some. The toy can be used on him as a cock ring during sex to keep him hard and stimulate your clit, and it doubles as a solo toy for your G-spot or clitoris. Everybody wins.
"Holy cats. This. Ring. Rocks. My. World...I pulled the ring out and showed it to my husband joking around about how it looked small. It stretches...and he needs it to because he is on the gigantic side below deck...My husband is good at what he does, I had no complaints. This toy, however, upped the yowzer factor by a megaton. We were both left shaky and blissful...I'm getting tingly just thinking about it and may have to go wake the husband up. Yes, it is that good. You need this in your life." —Cassie L.
