Promising review: "Amazing item. After nearly six years together we finally decided to take the plunge and order some beginner sex toys. I'd ordered the normal male stroker but wanted something else for my partner and then saw this. The vibration is extremely good, I used it on him whilst performing oral and I think it's definitely safe to say that he thoroughly enjoyed it! It was a bit tight on him (he has quite a large girth) but the lube and vibrations soon made him forget about that lol. As I mentioned previously, we are complete beginners to sex toys, both on our own and together, but we will definitely be using this again, and I thoroughly recommend it." —Lauren P.

Promising review: "It's a little over finger-width, nice and short, and has a lovely tapered bottom so it doesn't fall out. It's easily used and she found it comfortable when inserted and had a crazy orgasm. The product itself has a nice feel to it and is very easily cleaned. Overall a great first time product for beginners like us." —Djdragon29

Promising review: "Beginner here. So...new favorite thing for the bedroom. Never had an orgasm before but as soon as I used this item, boom. It was incredible!! Highly recommend. But note, this is a suction toy, not a vibrator! The design makes it easy to hold and also means it's perfect for targeting the clit to deliver that perfect suck." —Charlie99

Promising review: "Absolutely love this toy as it’s easy to use, clean, and gets you to your O quick. It’s great for alone time or with a partner. It mimics oral sex, so that when your partner doesn’t want to go down, you have an alternative. I think this is great for anyone, including a beginner." —Lovehoney Customer

Promising review: "First time using Lovehoney and first-time toy customer. I chose this item after reading reviews and deciding it was a good little starter toy, found it to be very good and the other half was excited to try it. Very powerful little piece and good size, recommend for a first time buy. We used it together and found it fun to play around with. Won't be the last toy we buy." —Tommygun1982

Promising review: "I LOVE these. They are small and discreet, and don't look like they would do much, but don't be fooled — they have really good suction, and make my nipples puff up nicely, becoming extra sensitive. If you use them for long enough, that sensation can last quite a while — I once wore them for about two hours, re-suctioning them occasionally to make it more intense, and my nipples were perky and sensitive for two days after that, which made for some fun times! If you find they come off/don't suction well, some lube helps with that. The suction on them is nice and gentle at first, not painful like a clamp, but if you want to add in some pain, these are good to get your nipples extra sensitive before clamping. They are a nice soft material, and the color-change effect is fun. Really easy to use, and good for people that are just dipping their toe (or nipple? LOL!) into BDSM type play." —Anon

Promising review: "I’ve been looking at these style of sex toys for a while, especially as they’d been coming up on socials/being talked about a lot. I was so so curious as everyone had said they were like no other, but every one I’d see was an extortionate price and wasn’t worth it for me. When I saw this one and read the reviews I thought why not, may as well try it. When I say groundbreaking…honestly. It took me 30 seconds to climax and I didn’t even need to think about anything sexy. Amazing, game-changer, I’ve already recommended it to every friend. Especially if you’re a beginner to sex toys too, this would be your best friend. So so easy." —F.T.

Important: you'll need to buy two AAA batteries separately.
Promising review: "This baby is perfect if you're just starting in the sex toy world! It's the best way I've achieved an orgasm as of yet, the ears on your clit and the length vibrating inside you make for some intense blended orgasms! It's not too big, especially since I'm new to this sort of play, and it's so smooth it just glides right in, but obviously, I wouldn't use it without lube. You MUST make sure that you screw it back together when you change batteries, though, as I didn't and now it's kinda broke, but I loved all of the functions so much I'm buying a replacement." —Racheal H.

Promising review: "Earth-shattering and beyond amazing. The product came in discreet packaging. It came with instructions and a case in which you can charge the toy discreetly inside. It didn't look overpowering or intimidating, and was smooth to touch and easy to use. This was our first experience using this kind of toy. We used this as a couple, and it was the perfect toy for beginners. We did a lot of foreplay leading up to using the toy and played with it without using it as a strap on first, to get used to the feel and the buttons. We put the end in my partner first and then put the other end in myself, as it was easier to maneuver this way when he was laying on his back. He also went on his knees as well and again it was easy to place inside and play. It stayed in place the whole time with strong vibrations. The buttons are easy to work and the size of the strap on is perfect for beginners. The toy feels fantastic in both ends, and is nice and firm but not too hard. It is quite flexible which was fantastic as it allowed us to move around and find a position that was comfortable for both of us. It was the most intimate and sexual experience either of us has ever had. It was the most intense orgasm we have ever had. It is a very trusting experience for a couple to do, and this toy made our first experience very positive, exciting and wet. Neither of us has ever experienced anything like we have using this toy! We would completely recommend this toy to all couples and cannot wait for more. Buy it, it will be the best money you have ever spent and guarantee the most intense, intimate and sexual experience followed by earth-shattering, leg-shaking orgasm on both ends." —Couplebran69

Promising review: "Amazing!!!!! I am a virgin and am pretty new to sex toys, so I bought this looking for something not too intimidating. I have always struggled to have G-spot orgasms, and am happy to say that this gave me my first one! The shape of it is perfect for the G-spot and feels amazing. However, I tend not to use it as a vibrator since it is fairly noisy, and I live in a shared house. Regardless, I highly recommend this to beginners like me!!" —H

Promising review: "A complete novice when it comes to this stuff, I thought this would be fun to try, and I was right. The blindfold is perfect for covering any light, the feather is a nice addition and silk ties are great for anyone taking their first steps in it. I'd recommend this for any beginners, too, as you really can't go wrong." —Georgina9xo

Promising review: "I ordered this kit from Lovehoney to try something new and could not be happier. It was a great way to get us into using toys and spice things up. My wife loves the bullet while I’m inside her and it’s been tons of fun. It’s incredibly powerful for such a small device. Amazing deal and I highly recommend it if you’re new to toys as it will let you try a few different things out to see what you like." —Steph
