All the sex toys we testedSex toys are great, but financial priorities mean you sometimes must balance pleasure and affordability. Luckily, cheap sex toys exist in plenty, and while they might not be the flashiest, they do quite a decent job of enhancing pleasure and creating a deeper connection with your partner. But which of the many products and brands should I buy?

We have tested sex toys of all price ranges since 2016, and you won’t find a better deal than the Magic Wand Micro. The $69.99 wand vibrator is a massive bargain, considering the phenomenal build quality and robust motor with multiple patterns. The testers highlighted how the price was comparatively lower than other vibrating wands, and everything from the flexible neck to the soft head made it easy to contour over the clitoris for precise stimulation.

Key Takeaways

Test Winner: Magic Wand Micro
Magic Wand MicroMagic Wand Micro got the highest ratings in our review. Over the years, we’ve recommended many wand vibrators, but they are usually pricey. For this reason, its $69.99 price makes it a great budget choice. Discount code AFF-MSTG10 for 10% off!


For Women: Womanizer Starlet Snow
Womaniser Starlet SnowStarlet Snow is the cheapest model for vaginas we found. Like the Magic Wand Micro, it has a lower intensity than the Womanizer toys. However, the power-to-size ratio makes it very intense and convenient. 


For Men: Tenga Egg Masturbators
The content of the boxWe loved numerous things about Tenga Eggs, but the discreet design and low price tag were our favorite. These tiny masturbators are shaped like mini eggs, making them easy to handle and travel with if you’re on the go.

How We Picked The Products

Before testing began, our team pre-selected two dozen budget-friendly products, including everything from vibrators to penis masturbators. Each team member contributed their top picks: products they believed had the potential to earn a spot on our list. I also outlined some of the core reasons why these types of toys remain so popular. We used clear, quantitative criteria to guide our testing, metrics that you can also keep in mind when shopping for your next toy. Here’s what we focused on.

  • Design: Who says low-cost can’t be spectacular? We’ve highlighted sex toys with designs that stand out, proving you don’t need to spend a lot to add a dash of excitement. Our team chose products that not only look great but also offer fresh, enjoyable experiences without breaking the bank.
  • Material: Because you’re a budget-conscious kinkster doesn’t mean you’re going to skimp on safety or comfort, no, no, no. We only selected devices made from materials that are safe for your body, like silicone and ABS plastic, and made sure they get higher scores compared to the other toys in the competition.
  • Shapes and Sizes: The world of budget-friendly sex toys offers something for everyone.  So our testers made sure to include a variety of shapes and sizes, perfect for both newcomers and experienced users.
  • Stimulation: You don’t need to splurge to find something that gives you that oh-so-good feeling you always want. We’ve searched for reasonably priced options that provide exciting tactile experiences (stressing tactile right here, folks), proving that great sensations aren’t just for high-end toys.
  • Versatility: Of course, we know that you guys adore pleasure toys that provide different ways to play and don’t cost a fortune. So in this review, our team favored models that are flexible and multifunctional; the more variety it has, the higher the score we gave to it.
  • Special Features: What could beat a low-cost, high-fun sex toy? Trick question, nothing. We looked for things with cool additions like suction cups for dildos and precise pinpoint stimulation for vibrators, to name a few.
  • Ease of Use: In the budget pleasure world, simplicity is key. We focused on products that are easy to use and hassle-free, ensuring you can enjoy yourself without complicated gadgets or a high price.

During testing, we rated each test criterion on a percentage scale from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). We then calculated the overall score using different weighted metrics depending on the importance of the test criteria. Half the total rating comes from Design (25%) and Material (25%). After that come Shapes/Sizes (10%), Sensation (10%), Versatility (10%), Special Features (10%), and Ease of Use (10%)

1. Magic Wand Micro: Our Overall Test Winner!

Magic Wand Micro

Why we love Magic Wand Micro:

After reviewing dozens of budget-friendly toys, the Magic Wand Micro stood out for its value. We’ve long recommended wand vibrators to people seeking powerful clitoral stimulation, but the higher price point often puts them out of reach for many. At just $69.99, the Micro offers an accessible alternative, making it our top pick for the best affordable sex toy this year.

While it doesn’t quite match the intensity of full-sized wands, the Micro still delivered more power than any bullet vibrator we tested. Its vibrations felt rumbly rather than buzzy, particularly in the first two settings, which made it ideal for sustained pleasure. “The intensity was perfect for my sensitive clitoris,” says Dr. Rachel Sommer. “I honestly think anyone using it will walk away satisfied. For something that fits in the palm of your hand, the power-to-size ratio was unmatched in our lineup,” she added.

Magic Wand Micro

Micro’s extensive range of sensations made it a little different from the two-function original wand vibrator. The three speeds and four patterns provided enough possibilities for most users to explore their wildest clit stimulation fantasies. The team thought this was a practical addition and rewarded it with a bonus score in the stimulation text category.

Let’s move on to the design next. The little device has the iconic old-school magic wand look (you can see it in the image below). The outdated build means it won’t be the prettiest in your sex toy collection. However, what the wand lacks in looks, it makes up for in its astounding power. The combination of intense sensations and small size makes it a cute purchase, regardless of the design.

The device charging

The reviewers especially appreciated the flexible neck (you can see me testing it in the image below). It was highly supple, making it easy to squeeze into tight spots without discomfort. We tried different sex positions, and the flexible neck came in handy, making each one pleasant.

The build quality was phenomenal, too. Unlike the original Magic Wand, which had a head made of porous material, the designers used high-quality silicone material on the Mini model. Besides making the product durable, the silicone simplifies the user experience by making cleaning and overall maintenance straightforward. In addition, the sturdy ABS plastic on the body. It felt stiff on the palm, and we didn’t have doubts about the durability.

Me testing the flexibility of the neck

Something else that stood out was the ease of use. The wand’s small size (4.5″ long) made it easy to hold in the palm. “Unlike the original magic wand, I could use the Mini for extended sessions without a sore arm,” our lead product tester, Sandra Larson, wrote in her test report. “The lightweight build from the small size made it extremely easy to use.”

Note: The wand’s 2-button interface further simplified the user experience. One turned it on while the other let you cycle through the vibration speeds. Great design overall!

Me holding the user manual

One test category where it didn’t shine was versatility. The smaller size means you can’t use the regular-sized attachments, plus, not being waterproof limits where you can use it. However, it offered strong vibrations for its size, and the knobby head meant it was ideal for different pleasure zones, including the nipples, inner thighs, or your partner’s balls. In addition, the small size makes it easy to fit into your traveling plans, so you can enjoy heightened clitoral sensations while on the move.

The team pointed out that Micro was neither the loudest nor the quietest. The sound level reached between 36 and 46 decibels, as seen in the image below. It’s ideal for people looking for a powerful toy with a quieter motor and an excellent range of vibration patterns.

Me measuring the sound level

Minor issues we found during testing:

Our main concern was that we couldn’t use the vibrator around water. The silicone head was waterproof, and it was an exciting development compared to the traditional wand vibrators. Still, sex in the shower is twice as fun, and not being able to use the Mini wand in the shower was a bummer.

In addition, the Magic Wand Micro wasn’t compatible with the regular attachments we use with the Magic Wand series, limiting the possibilities.

Why Magic Wand Micro is our test winner:

  • Stimulations: The Magic Wand Micro was the most powerful of the bullet vibrators we reviewed for the article. While the vibrations might not be as potent as other Magic Wand models, none of the other review samples came close. Besides the power, the testers highlighted how the range of three speeds and four vibration patterns made the experience exciting for different users. The vibrations were more rumbly than buzzy, further underlining the vigor and torque that guaranteed intense clitoral stimulation.
  • Size: The small size enhanced its versatility and significantly improved the user experience. Unlike the original Magic Wand, we found it easy to use the mini wand during partnered sex because it fit between bodies cozily. More importantly, incorporating it into your travel plans was easy, making it ideal for travelers.
  • Build Quality: Magic Wand Micro’s silicone head was non-porous, making it easy to clean after use. In addition, the sturdy ABS plastic body felt firm while holding, and there were no doubts about its durability. Lastly, the attention to detail was evident with the well-measured curves, flexible neck, and adjustable wrist strap.

2. Womanizer Starlet Snow: A Good Clit Sucker!

Womanizer Starlet

Why we love Womanizer Starlet Snow:

The Womanizer Starlet Snow is our top value pick for clitoral suction enthusiasts. While it’s not as intense as the brand’s premium models (much like the Magic Wand Micro), it still delivers an impressive power-to-size ratio, making it a strong choice for both solo play and partnered sex.

When it comes to stimulation, the team agreed that Starlet Snow punches well above its weight. The suction pressure was surprisingly strong for such a compact device. “I especially appreciated the lower settings,” says Dr. Rachel Sommer. “The suction felt intense on my sensitive clitoris, and the deep, rhythmic pulses were deeply satisfying,” she continued.

Womanizer Starlet

Unlike most of the budget suction toys we reviewed, the team found that Snow’s lower intensities had a thuddy suction that felt great. The multiple light speeds made it easy to customize the experience, and reaching orgasm was much easier than with the other models. The power does increase as you crank the volume, but you won’t need to struggle much to climax with the Womanizer Starlet.

The travel-friendly design (image below) was another review highlight, with a simplistic design that highlighted a great deal of attention to detail. While it might not be as luxurious as the other Womanizer siblings, there was a touch of class that budget seekers will appreciate.

Closeup of the control button

We also noted that the designers maintained a simplistic approach even to the packaging. The minimalist bag was nicely designed with the bare minimum: one suction head, a charging cable, and an instruction manual (all shown in the image below). A great way to keep the cost down.

The team agreed that the designers did a good job balancing the materials, making the product durable and comfortable for extended use. The silicone mouth cupped the clitoral hood cozily, thus ensuring there was no loss of suction. In addition, the ABS material added to the rigidity aspect, ensuring the clitoral suction toy lasted long. Overall, a solid design that will please the majority of customers.

The content of the box

The battery life was a point of concern. The manual didn’t estimate how long the toy would last, but it took about one hour and twenty minutes on the lowest setting to deplete the power. However, a full charge took over two hours, making the charge-to-use ratio a bit disappointing.

We also tested the noise to ensure we gave our readers every bit of information to simplify their decision-making. The sound level was on the quiet side, and the toy was more discreet than most cheap toys we reviewed. Notably, it got quieter when positioned correctly against the clitoris, and even at the higher settings, the noise was relatively low.

The device charging

For the build quality, the Starlet Snow lived up to the Womanizer lineup’s expectations. We’ve tested numerous toys from the brand, and the quality and craftsmanship are always the least of our worries. The choice of materials (silicone and ABS) was on point. In addition, the small size and well-thought-out curves simplified the user experience.

Pro Tip: The clitoral suction toy only had a single button to turn it on and off and cycle through the four intensity levels.

The packaging

Lastly, Womanizer Starlet Snow might not be the most versatile option on this list, but it’s massively affordable and easy to use. Unfortunately, it’s not waterproof – only splashproof and only comes with one size suction head (image below). So, unless you want to have a taste of clit suction on a budget, you might want to consider getting a more advanced model like the Womanizer Premium 2 or Womanizer Duo 2.

Note: Womanizer Starlet Snow boasts a 5-year warranty, an incredible feat for the low-cost suction vibrator.

Womaniser Starlet without the suction head

Minor issues we found during testing:

Things can get slippery, especially with the primarily ABS plastic body. We found it helpful to have a rag nearby so you can wipe off the excess lube and keep the toy dry enough so you can maintain control during masturbation.

Since the toy only has four settings, beginners and people with an extra sensitive clitoris will find the jumps between the settings too much. If you prefer a gradual build-up, you’ll find things tough with the Starlet Snow.

Why Womanizer Starlet Snow is the most affordable clit sucker:

  • Stimulations: Womanizer Starlet Snow was the strongest among the cheap suction toys we reviewed. The suction waves were intense, especially at the lower speeds, and it didn’t take much effort to climax. While the minimal patterns meant the jump could be tricky for beginners, the four settings offered a good range of possibilities to explore.
  • Size: The product’s petite size made it ideal for solo masturbation and partnered play. The well-thought-out dimensions and easy-press solo button enhanced the user experience, making the toy foolproof. Whether you’re a newbie looking to explore clitoral suction sensations on a budget, a frequent traveler dying to spice their sex life, or a couple seeking a breath of fresh air in the bedroom, the Womanizer Starlet Snow’s efficiency was impressive.
  • Build Quality: Starlet Snow lived up to the Womanizer lineup’s high standards. And while it might not have the Womanizer Premium’s posh finish, the build quality was impressive. The choice of materials (silicone and ABS) underlined the commitment to excellence. In addition, the small size and well-thought-out curves made clitoral massage straightforward.

3. Lovehoney Rose Toy: Cutest and Most Giftable!

closeup of the rose petals

Why we love Lovehoney Rose Toy:

If you appreciate well-crafted, visually stunning toys, the Lovehoney Rose is likely to impress. From the packaging to the design, every detail felt intentional and elegant. The compact pink rose arrives in a vibrant box containing all the essentials: the toy itself, a charging cable, a user manual, and a safety guide.

Design-wise, the team was genuinely impressed by its appearance. With well-sculpted petals encircling the central stimulation point, it closely resembles a real rose (more so than many of its competitors). The well-defined edges and rich rosy color added a refined touch, making it a clear visual standout compared to similar models like the Inya Rose.

Closeup of the suction mouth

Let’s talk about the innovative Pleasure Air technology next. Unlike the traditional vibrations, the rose toy used extremely gentle yet impactful waves to stimulate the user’s clitoris. We found the suction perfect for people who find vibrations too intense for their sensitive clitoris.

The team found that the sensations felt like someone was licking the clitoris, especially in the lower settings. As the patterns got intense, the light licking transitioned into a clit stretching effect that mimicked a partner using their tongue to push the labia apart.

Closeup of the two control buttons

Notably, the ten speeds and patterns offered a variety of sensations to explore. Unlike the Womanizer Starlet Snow above, the settings had a gradual switch that made it easy to build up to intense orgasms regardless of your experience. The team also found that cycling through the settings was straightforward with the simplified 2-button interface (seen in the image above).

Note: While most people find suction waves more accommodating and beginner-friendly, the humming effect can be overstimulating, especially in higher settings. I recommend using the lower end of the spectrum if you don’t want to climax immediately.

The content of the box

Unlike some of the other review samples in the article, the rose vibrator had a travel-lock feature, making it the perfect vacation buddy. Its small size, discreet suction, and travel lock function mean you can carry it around and use it comfortably without worrying about who’s beside you.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the nooks and crannies can be challenging to clean. It takes more time and care to get into the hole and the individual petals.

In addition, the toy can be loud if the nozzle at the center isn’t flush against the skin. An annoying gurgling sound is inevitable whenever the vibe dislodges from the clitoral hood.

Why Lovehoney Rose Toy is the cutest and most giftable:

  • Design: The Rose toy’s realistic design gave it a cute and giftable look. I don’t know any other inexpensive product with a look that resonates with most women, like the rose suction toy from Lovehoney. The rose petal features a lifelike hole at the center and individual petals that look like the real thing. If you love flowers, then this rose-looking one will blow your mind. Other design tweaks, like the well-thought-out dimensions and the travel lock feature, enhanced the versatility, making the suction vibe ideal for different users.
  • Stimulation: The Rose toy was the most recommended gift among the models we tested. The ten speeds and patterns made the progression gradual and beginner-friendly. In addition, the suction waves felt intense, switching from gentle licking to exciting stretching as you crank the volume.
  • Control: The intuitive 2-button interface and small size made Lovehoney Rose easy to use. Cycling through the patterns and speeds was straightforward, and the easy-press buttons made it easy to customize the experience, even in positions in which you don’t have a direct view of the action.

If you want to see what the Rose Toy looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

4. Desire Luxury: Affordable Clit Vibrator!

Desire Luxury clitoral vibrator

Why we love Desire Luxury:

If you’re looking for a well-made clit vibrator on a budget, we recommend Desire Luxury. The cute pebble-like model only costs $89.99, a comparatively affordable price for the versatile and potent vibe. Everything from the robust silicone and ABS plastic body to the multiple vibration settings and impressive versatility makes the price a massive bargain.

Besides the affordable price, we loved Desire Luxury’s design. The firm yet soft-to-touch feel underlined the remarkable attention to detail. In addition, the beautiful, feminine shape with a pointed tip for sensitivity training and edge play made our sessions more exciting.

Desire Luxury clitoral vibrator

Unlike most clit vibrators wee tested, its easy-to-control design includes the most essential function buttons (highlighted in the image below), doing away with the often confusing excessive branding. Desire Luxury’s firm silicone-ABS body underlined the phenomenal build quality. “The design and build quality were high-end,” our lead product tester, Sandra Larson, wrote in her test report. “It felt and operated like a high-quality product, and I didn’t have any doubts about the quality.”

Something else that stood out was the robust motor. My colleagues didn’t expect much from the small form factor, but the strong vibrations surprised the test team. Unlike most of the models on this list, Desire Luxury had eight vibration modes and twelve intensity settings, providing more than enough sensations to enjoy. Besides making the toy beginner-friendly, the multiple patterns made it easy to gradually build up to intense orgasms, whether playing solo or with your partner.

Desire Luxury clitoral vibrator

“The gradual build-up started with calming, slow-paced rumbles and quickly transitioned into rhythmic pulsations,” confirms Sandra Larson. “The multiple sensations and angled tip made the experience blissful, with the precise clitoral massage.”

Versatility was another factor that set Desire Luxury apart from the competition. Besides clit stimulation, you can use the product on other erogenous parts of the body like the inner thighs, nipples, frenulum, and balls. Not bad for such an affordable product.

Desire Luxury clitoral vibrator with the box

Minor issues we found during testing:

The most significant concern was the comparatively underwhelming vibrations, especially for experienced users looking for intense sensations to climax.

In addition, the battery life wasn’t great. While the website says it lasts for 60 minutes, I was left for dead a few times because the battery life was more like 45.

Why Desire Luxury is the most affordable clit vibrator:

  • Design: Desire Luxury’s design made it stand out from the competition. The firm yet soft-to-the-touch body felt great against the skin. Unlike most models, the toy had a simplistic look to it without the annoying excess branding and only the essential function buttons. In addition, the fantastic build with a trimmed tip made it perfect for sensitivity training and edge play.
  • Stimulations: The rhythmic shift from slow-paced vibrations to mind-blowing pulsations made the Desire Luxury ideal for people who enjoy a slow build-up to intense orgasms. It was the opposite of the Womanizer Starlet Snow, with the well-measured switch in intensity and consistency so that cycling through the settings didn’t feel like a steep jump.
  • Versatility: Desire Luxury’s small size and squishy silicone body made it easy to handle even with lubed-up hands. The user-friendly interface simplified the experience, while the edged tip made it perfect for precise clitoral massage. More importantly, the dynamic design meant the product was also ideal for stimulating other erogenous body parts like the inner thighs, frenulum, nipples, and your partner’s balls.

5. Lovehoney Thrill Seeker: Affordable Egg Vibrator!

Lovehoney Thrill Seeker Love Egg

Why we love Lovehoney Thrill Seeker:

Among the many features that made the Lovehoney Thrill Seeker stand out, its affordability was a clear highlight. Priced between $23.99 and $44.99 (depending on current promotions), it offers great value for such a compact, well-designed vibrator.

Our reviewers noted that the Thrill Seeker delivered stronger stimulation than most of the budget egg vibrators we tested. “I didn’t expect wand-level power, but this little egg held its own,” says Dr. Rachel Sommer. “While more experienced users might find it a bit mild, it offers plenty of pleasure for everyday use. It certainly exceeds expectations at this price point.”

The content of the box

The Desire Luxury offered an impressive range of options, with 10 vibration patterns and 6 intensity levels that made exploration both engaging and enjoyable. The gradual build-up allowed for a slow progression to more intense external orgasms, something our testers found particularly satisfying.

As for the design, it took a more minimalist approach compared to other Lovehoney products. The toy features a primarily ABS plastic body (visible in the image below), which kept it lightweight and easy to handle. While the build quality held up well during testing, several team members noted that a softer, more beginner-friendly material (particularly around the tip, such as silicone) would have made it even more comfortable for longer sessions.

Lovehoney Thrill Seeker with a ruler for size reference.

We did find two smaller flaws with the design: Firstly, the retrieval cord felt flimsy and cheap. You must also unscrew the product in the middle to change the batteries, and the seam can be a hub for bacteria, making cleaning more tedious and time-consuming.

Some team members also raised some concerns regarding the build quality. While the ABS plastic felt stiff and durable, the toy looked a bit cheap, and the all-plastic body didn’t help with the aesthetics. We’re sure the company used ABS to cut costs, but there was a strong feeling that including silicone would have significantly improved the outlook.

Lovehoney Thrill Seeker and the remote

The good news was that using the egg was straightforward. Unlike the other product we reviewed, it came with a convenient remote control (image above), making it easy to regulate the vibration patterns and speeds. The easy-press buttons felt great, and the grippy surface helped with handling whenever the hands got slippery from the lube. Surprisingly, the remote controller didn’t have a power on and off button, meaning we couldn’t explore the pleasures of public play.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the vibrator was noisy, and the rumbles will travel past your room’s walls. The noise meter clocked 75 decibels, which is considerably high for the small-sized model.

In addition, the egg vibrator didn’t have a rechargeable battery. The toy and remote controller used disposable batteries, meaning we needed to have a pack of AAA and CR 2032 batteries with us everywhere we went.

As stressed before, you must unscrew the product in the middle to change the batteries. The ridge created a seam that could harbor bacteria, making cleaning tedious and time-consuming.

Why Lovehoney Thrill Seeker is a good budget egg vibrator:

  • Price: Lovehoney Thrill Seeker was the highest rated in the Price & Value category. While most reviewers pointed out that the brand used plastic and a cheaper retrieval handle, $44.99 ($23.99) for a versatile clit stimulation toy was a bargain.
  • Stimulations: The vibrator’s wide array of pleasure settings made it perfect for different users. Those who found Starlet Snow’s patterns too steep will enjoy the gradual build-up from the six speeds and ten patterns. The more experienced folks will find the vibrations a little underwhelming, but ordinary users will be spoiled for choice.
  • Bells & Whistles: Lovehoney Thrill Seeker came with a remote control, making it stand out from the other egg vibrators we tested. The squishy controller felt incredible on the palm, and the small size meant you could use it with a single hand while using the other to stimulate other erogenous zones for amplified pleasure. More importantly, the easy-press buttons enhanced the experience and made it easy to regulate the settings.

6. Lovehoney Dare: Most Discreet!

Lovehoney Dare next to some of my regular jewelry

Why we love Lovehoney Dare:

Of all the discreet toys we reviewed, the Lovehoney Dare necklace impressed us the most. Not just for how well it blended into daily wear, but also for how surprisingly effective it was. At first glance, it looks like a sleek piece of minimalist jewelry, making it ideal for public play, travel, or simply keeping your pleasure close at hand. Despite its compact size, it delivers a satisfying buzz that’s perfect for quick solo sessions or teasing during date night.

The elegant, well-crafted design (pictured above) was a major highlight. My colleagues praised how seamlessly the Dare blended into everyday outfits, offering a sophisticated look that didn’t draw much attention. “Honestly, it looked better than a lot of the jewelry I normally wear,” says Dr. Rachel Sommer. “The minimalist design and soft glow gave it a polished, timeless feel (while still hiding a dirty little secret).”

Lovehoney Dare next to some of my regular jewelry

Besides the design, the low noise levels improved the discretion. When we tested it, the decibel readings ranged between 35 and 51, making it a moderately noisy but not over-the-top option. The build quality was impressive. The choice of material was also top-tier, with a stainless steel build and body-safe silicone on the control interface. Both materials are the most effective you can get, and there were no doubts about durability. In addition, the attention to detail was evident from the get-go, with well-measured edges on either end.

Note: We were unsure of the screw design charging cable (magnetic is better), but it fit together securely, and charging was never an issue.

Me measuring Lovehoney Dare using a ruler

For the stimulation, the vibrator necklace had three intensity levels and two vibration modes, making for a nice range of possibilities. The limited settings might be problematic for people with a sensitive clitoris because the jump between each pattern is too high, but ordinary users will find the settings sufficient.

The solo button (zoomed in on the image below) made it extremely easy and enjoyable to use. I’m not usually a fan of a single button, but there weren’t many patterns to go through, so it wasn’t a problem with the Lovehoney Dare. However, be ready to press the buttons multiple times if you overshoot and miss a favorite pattern (there are only five settings anyway, so it won’t take much time).

Lovehoney Dare Discreet Necklace Vibrator

The team rated Dare as “relatively versatile”, another positive from the testing sessions. Everything from the waterproof body to the travel lock feature made it ideal for different users. Whether you’re looking for a vacation or a shower buddy, the vibe takes both roles head-on. In addition, the moderately strong vibrations and the pointed edge promote precise external stimulation, including clitoral and nipple tickling.

Lovehoney offers favorable warranty terms, including a one-year warranty for faulty craftsmanship and defects. The brand also has a 100-day satisfaction promise and 60 days to return an unopened product: one of the better terms in the business.

The content of the box

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the vibrator’s slim size prevents the necklace vibe from being a powerhouse. People seeking intense external sensations might be disappointed. If you must get the extra power to climax, consider getting a wand vibrator.

In addition, the rounded head is somewhat pointy, and people looking for broad external stimulations might have to look elsewhere.

Why Lovehoney Dare is the most discreet on this list:

  • Design: The Lovehoney Dare had a discreet necklace design with a subtle rose gold accent that complemented different items of clothing. We styled it with multiple colors and fabrics, and it looked great. The simplistic yet classy design made it perfect for a dinner date, picnic, or a casual business meeting.
  • Versatility: Everything from the travel lock feature to the waterproofness made the necklace toy ideal for different users. Whether you’re looking for a portable model or something to use in the bathtub, the vibe takes both roles head-on. The moderately strong vibrations and the pointed edge promote precise external stimulation, including clitoral and nipple tickling.
  • Control: The review panel highlighted the vibrator’s single-button interface, emphasizing how it enhanced the user experience. In addition, it was made from squishy silicone, making it easier to press and responsive than other rigid materials like ABS plastic. More importantly, cycling through the patterns was straightforward. Even if you overshoot, going back to a specific setting was easy because there weren’t many (there were only five).

7. Tenga Eggs: Affordable Male Masturbator!

The content of the box

Why we love Tenga Eggs:

There’s a lot to appreciate about Tenga Eggs, but what stood out most to us was their discreet, travel-friendly design. Shaped like miniature eggs (as shown above), these compact male masturbators are easy to stash in a bag or suitcase. Hence, they are ideal for those who want pleasure on the go without drawing attention.

If you enjoy using masturbators occasionally but find full-sized options like Onaholes or Fleshlights too bulky or high-maintenance, Tenga Eggs offer a perfect middle ground. Each one is a single-use, high-quality sleeve made from soft, stretchy material that adapts to different sizes and techniques. And because they’re disposable, there’s no cleanup required. Just use and toss. For casual users or frequent travelers, they strike a good balance between convenience, comfort, and pleasure.

Me testing a Tenga egg on a dildo

While the eggs only have a 2.5″ inner length, it was the stretchy material that made the difference. The soft and silky TPE felt great on my penis, and its elasticity meant more than half of the penis was wrapped in the wavy texture. People who prefer full-size masturbation sleeves won’t like the mini wrapping, but convenience and discreetness are the winning points for Tenga Eggs. In addition, the sealed design adds a degree of suction, making the experience a bit more intense.

Something else our male testers highlighted was the affordable pricing. A pack of six costs between $32.40 and $49.99, depending on where you buy it, which is a relatively cheap price. Some reviewers argued it was expensive for a one-time-use masturbator, but we firmly believe it was a bargain for the quality.

6 Tenga eggs

The testers also appreciated the dynamic design. Unlike most of the cheap male masturbators we reviewed, the Tenga Eggs come in a variety, so you can choose what works for you. These differently textured sleeves offer a unique experience, making them even more exciting. They include the following:

  • Stud: “The texture was my favorite,” our male tester, Tim Larson, wrote in his test report. “Its hexagonal protrusions and defined edges throughout the sleeve helped create multiple pleasure spots that rubbed against my penis.” The countless points of contact meant every action had a unique blend of sensations, whether you twisted, teased, or stroked the hard-boiled egg.
  • Mesh: The crisscrossed patterns resembled a mesh wire. The design meant there was a slightly more gentle feeling than the other sleeves. Although that meant it took more time to climax with the Mesh egg, we found the experience more rewarding. We recommend the sleeve for sensitive training to re-condition your cock after subjecting it to intense, highly textured masturbators for too long.
  • Ring: This egg sleeve reminded me of the Fleshlight and other traditional strokers. It had thick, horizontal rings acting as a barrier so you could push your way through. The rings stimulate the top of the penis so you can edge your way to explosive orgasms.
  • Wind: Remember the barometric lines on a weather chart? That’s what the texture of the wind Tenga reminded me of. The vertical and horizontal waves cross each other, providing a gentle blend of sensations perfect for those with an ultra-sensitive penis.
  • Curl: This is another Tenga Egg designed for sensitive training. The snowflake-like pattern was perfect for edging, but you must stroke faster and squeeze harder to orgasm.
  • Tube: This one is probably the most complex; the Tube had tiny ribs in between the giant spirals, making up what felt like a corkscrew on the dick.

Closeup of a Tenga egg texture

The build quality was another review highlight. Tenga used TPE, a renowned material among sex toy designers. In addition, the outer shell (image above) was made from sturdy plastic, so you can be sure the delicate sleeve was safe in the shell. More importantly, the well-thought-out texture of the different sleeves felt unique, making the Tenga Eggs ideal for explorers seeking adventure and bliss.

Note: Tenga printed the inner sleeve’s design on each egg sleeve so you can choose your preferred texture easily.

Tenga egg used on a dildo

Using the Tenga egg was straightforward. The simplistic design and small size made it easy to stroke and twist the sleeve, whether you’re playing solo or using it during foreplay. The stimulations were enjoyable. The soft, stretchy material and the wide array of sensations from the texture meant every masturbation session felt unique. I loved how the nubs and swirls targeted different areas of the penis while the stretchiness allowed me to focus on the end or middle of my member.

Lastly, the small and portable egg sleeves are waterproof, so you can take the fun to the shower or bath. After all, it’s a one-time use masturbator, so you don’t have to worry about cleaning or drying. Unlike most of the cheap models we reviewed, using the Tenga Eggs was straightforward; even a first-timer will enjoy the experience.

Tenga Eggs

Minor issues we found during testing:

The eggs can be squelchy because of the stretchy material. If you live in a shared space or have thin walls, you might have to look elsewhere.

Environmentally conscious folks may also find the disposable aspect of the products disturbing. Unfortunately, alternatives like the Fleshlight Quickshot Vantage and the Blue Ice are more expensive.

Read more about other Fleshlight masturbators here. You can also find more cheap male masturbators in this article.

Why Tenga Eggs are the highest-rated cheap male masturbator:

  • Versatility: Unlike the other cheap male products we reviewed, the Tenga Eggs are available in six different variants. These sleeves have varying textures, making them ideal for different users, including those seeking sensitive training, edge play, and complex, intense sensations. The variety made the sleeves dynamic and exciting to use regardless of experience.
  • Price: The panel highlighted how the affordable pricing made Tenga Eggs stand out. The six-pack costs between $32.40 and $49.99, a massive bargain for the versatile, travel-friendly masturbation sleeves. “I don’t know about you, but the price was friendly for the one-time-use sleeves,” affirms Tim Larson.
  • Design: The stretchy, silky TPE material coupled with a small, portable egg-shaped design made the sleeves easy to use and very dynamic for penis owners. The hard shell was made from plastic, keeping the toy clean and safe from any harm.

8. Fifty Shades of Grey A Perfect O: A Budget Cock Ring!

The Fifty Shades of Grey cock ring used on a dildo

Why we love Fifty Shades of Grey A Perfect O:

Among the dozens of cock rings we tested, Fifty Shades of Grey A Perfect O was rated as the best value. The basic loop costs $9.99, a price the reviewers described as a bargain for such a high-quality product. Everything from the thoughtful design to the silicone material and ease of use made $9.99 a steal.

“I’ve used the cock ring for a while now, and it feels more comfortable than anticipated,” confirms Shane Davis. “The ring made me more confident before sex with my partner as I was sure I didn’t have to worry about weaker erections even after several rounds.”

Fifty Shades of Grey A Perfect O Silicone and the box

If you look around on Google, you notice that some reviewers gave it low ratings because of its lack of vibration patterns. While a vibrating cock ring is always more exciting, the team was more fascinated with the simplistic design and compact size, and ease of use. The stretchy material made it easy to wear the cheap ring around the shaft and balls for a sturdier connection. “I didn’t even need lube to get the loop around the base of my member,” Tim Larson told me.

Besides the durable, body-safe material, we liked how effective Fifty Shades of Grey was at making the erections stronger and longer. Whether playing alone or with a partner, the loop makes the member more pumped up, so you can last longer and enjoy a build-up to intense orgasms.

Me testing the flexibility

Minor issues we found during testing:

The simplistic cock ring will be underwhelming for experienced folks looking for more intense sensations available in vibrating models. If you’re not a beginner looking to explore the pleasures of penis rings, consider getting the Lovense Diamo or LELO TOR 3. This way, you can enjoy more than stronger erections, with dual clitoral and perineum stimulation, making masturbation and partnered sex more explosive.

In addition, the 5-inch circumference might be limiting for extra girthy folks. It stretches well, but consider something more significant if you’re more endowed.

Read more about cock rings here.

Why Fifty Shades of Grey is the most affordable cock ring:

  • Price: Fifty Shades of Grey A Perfect O’s $9.99 price tag offers excellent value for money. We reviewed multiple loops, and none came close to the impressive build quality and well-thought-out choice of material. Everything from the stretchy silicone to the straightforward control made the price a steal.
  • Design: The cock ring’s compact and simplistic design made it stand out among the cheap toys we reviewed. Unlike other models, the was minimal branding on the band, and the rounded bezels made it easy to roll the ring on and off the penis. In addition, the small size meant that packing it in your pocket or your wife’s handbag was quick.
  • Versatility: Fifty Shades of Grey’s simple and compact design was effective. A vibrating motor would’ve been a game changer, but its ease of use and small size meant you could take it with you anywhere, so you can surprise your partner when they least expect it.

If you want to see what Fifty Shades of Grey A Perfect O looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

Pros:

  • The cheapest cock ring.

Cons:

  • People looking for more intense sensations might have to look elsewhere.
  • It’s only available in black.

9. We-Vibe Sync Lite: Budget Couples Vibrator!

We-Vibe Sync Lite

Why we love We-Vibe Sync Lite:

The most impressive feature of the We-Vibe Sync Lite was its thoughtfully engineered design. The slim internal arm (pictured below) made penetration smoother and left ample space for a partner’s penis or a dildo, ensuring comfort during use. Meanwhile, the thicker external arm rested firmly against the clitoris, delivering targeted stimulation that hit all the right spots. The widened head offered broader surface coverage, making it especially appealing for those who enjoy deep, enveloping clitoral sensations.

The team found that the flexible body allowed for easy angle adjustments, enhancing overall comfort and usability. “Once I positioned it correctly, I barely had to touch it again,” says Dr. Rachel Sommer. “Unlike some of the other review samples that tend to shift or require constant repositioning, the Sync Lite stayed comfortably in place and felt stable throughout.”

We-Vibe Sync Lite

Like other models in the We-Vibe lineup, the Sync Lite’s build quality was above average. The designer’s attention to detail was evident from the get-go, and there were no doubts about the durability. Everything from the all-silicone body to the impressive flexibility and well-measured angles on either end, the sex toy was thoughtfully designed.

The robust motor was another review highlight. The team appreciated how powerful the vibrations felt, even for a small-sized dual-stimulation vibrator. Like the price, there were more powerful couple vibrators, but the Lovehoney Sync Lite’s size and price made it the most effective for budget seekers. In addition, the vibrations were powerful enough for a product designed to be used during sex. It complemented the experience by tingling both partners and making sex more explosive.

The device charging

Note: Solo play fans looking to make the most of the vibrator can pair it with a vibrating dildo. The small size and slim inner arm leave room for a penetrative toy without leaving the wearer feeling sore or uncomfortable.

Sync Lite’s compatibility with the We-Vibe app (image below) further justified why the price was a bargain. The mobile app only came second to the Lovense Remote, with impressive features and multiple customization options for close-range and long-distance couples. It took a few tries to get the app connected to the vibrator, but everything ran smoothly after a few reconnection attempts.

Screenshots from the We-Vibe app

Bells and whistles like sound-activated vibrations and music sync were exciting to explore. We recommend creating a playlist on the app beforehand so you can get down to business as soon as you’re ready. If you’re unsure of the songs to go for, fast-paced songs with a lot of bass tend to be the better option. The vibrations were light, and the melody added a deep and heavy rhythm that made partnered sex more than exciting.

Lastly, the testers commended We-Vibe designers for the discreet motor. The motor’s noise level ranged between 33 and 43 decibels. Notably, the numbers went lower when I concealed the toy with a layer or two of clothing.

The content of the box

Note: The brand offers an impressive two-year warranty and a 100-day money-back guarantee on all its products.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the couple’s vibrator was not waterproof, a slight dent in We-Vibe’s reputation. Sex is always more fun in the water, and the fact that the model was only splashproof limited the possibilities.

In addition, the toy didn’t come with a remote control, which would have been an excellent alternative for couples when they didn’t want to use the phone. If you don’t mind spending a little more, Sync 2 offers incredible incentives, including a waterproof design and a wireless remote control.

Why We-Vibe Sync Lite is our budget pick for couples:

  • Design: The We-Vibe Sync Lite had the favorite design among the reviewed cheap couple vibrators. The flexible body made it easy to clench onto the vagina and clitoris, while the firm knot meant you didn’t need much re-adjustments after. In addition, the slimmer inner arm was easy to penetrate and left enough room for your partner’s member during sex. More importantly, the wide-flanged clitoral head enhanced broad stimulations, landing on every sweet spot without fail.
  • Stimulations: The vibrator’s motor might not be the most robust, but it performed the best among the cheap couples models we sampled. We loved the multiple speeds and patterns available on the mobile app because they made it easy to customize the experience.
  • Bells & Whistles: The review panel highlighted the importance of We-Vibe Sync Lite’s compatibility with the renowned We-Vibe app. As stressed before, the application only came second to the Lovense Remote, with impressive bells and whistles, including sound-activated vibrations and music sync. “Whether you’re in a close or long-distance relationship, the app comes in handy,” says Tim Larson. ” It opens your world to new possibilities and lets you take control of partnered sex with innovative and exciting pleasure motions.”

If you want to see what We-Vibe Sync Lite looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

If you are interested in checking out the full specs of this couple’s vibrator, make sure to check out the We-Vibe Sync Lite review we made.

Features:

  • Materials: Silicone
  • Size: 2.95″ X 2.00″ X 1.18″

Pros:

  • A flexible and responsive design.
  • Convenient We-Vibe app.
  • The slimmer inner arm enhances the wearer’s comfort.
  • A wide flanged outer arm for broad stimulation.

10. Lovehoney Butt Tingler: Affordable Butt Plug!

Lovehoney Butt Tingler

Why we love Lovehoney Butt Tingler:

With a price tag of $26.99 (or as low as $16.99 during promotions) the Lovehoney Butt Tingler is one of the most budget-friendly anal toys on the market. Despite its low cost, it offers excellent value with a soft, squishy silicone body and multiple vibration settings, making it a great choice for both solo play and couples exploring anal stimulation.

Besides its affordability, the Butt Tingler’s minimalist design stood out for its practicality. While it may not be the most eye-catching toy, it delivers where it counts. The compact size made it especially beginner-friendly and easy to insert, enhancing comfort and usability across a range of experience levels. For the price, it’s a solid, no-fuss option that gets the job done.

Lovehoney Butt Tingler with a ruler as size reference

“The But Tinger’s only measures 3.5″ long (shown in the image above), making it one of the slimmest there is,” Shane Davis reported. “Its small size made it the perfect travel companion, and I usually tag mine along whenever I’m leaving home for a few days.”

Note: Unfortunately, it didn’t come with a storage bag, which went against the travel-friendly aspect propagated by its dimensions.

Lovehoney Butt Tingler

Something else that stood out was the flaring around the base. It tucks in between the butt cheeks and gives you the confidence to carry on with anal play without worrying about accidental visits to the ER.

Using the Butt Tingler was very easy. Whether it’s your first anal toy or you’re a backdoor exploration connoisseur, the anal vibe was easy to use. The tapered design simplified penetration, and the bulbous body-flared base combo (image above) ensured it stayed in place.

Closeup of the control button

As I mentioned in the intro, the anal vibrator is made from high-grade silicone. The material could be squishier, but the relatively firm body didn’t cause any issues during the review. It didn’t feel like the coziest silicone, but that didn’t affect the sensations. The silky finish added to the ease of use aspect, and it only took a few water-based lube drops to get it submerged.

“I might be biased because I’m used to more robust products, but the vibrations weren’t as powerful as I’d anticipated,” says Rachel Sommer. “Still, beginners and intermediate users will find them sufficient for the size and price.”

Butt Tingler with the battery case opened

The buzzy motor’s range of pleasure settings helped take the limelight off the limited power factor. Unlike most of the cheap models we tested, there were seven vibration modes and three speed levels, offering a wide range of possibilities to explore.

Pro Tip: If you need something with more power, we recommend going for models like the LELO Loki Wave or the Lovense Edge 2.

Featured image

Minor issues we found during testing:

The most significant concern was the lack of a rechargeable battery. The toy used a battery-powered motor. Besides the inconvenience of having an AAA battery with you everywhere and risking getting caught unaware when it runs out, disposable batteries aren’t environmentally friendly. In addition, there’s no indicator on the battery level, making it easy to get caught with a flat at the worst of times.

The vibrations were pretty frail, and most people would find them underwhelming. We recommend the LELO Loki Wave 2 or the Lovense Edge 2 if you don’t mind spending more for a potent motor.

Why Lovehoney Butt Tingler is the most recommended butt plug:

  • Price: Lovehoney Butt Tingler’s $26.99 ($16.99 when on offer) price was a massive bargain for the well-designed model. Whether it’s your first backdoor exploration toy or you’re a connoisseur looking to add a new product to your sex toy collection, the price ensures you don’t break the bank.
  • Design: The butt plug’s design was simple and efficient. The tapered shape significantly simplified penetration, while the bulbous body-flared base combo ensured the vibe butt plug stayed in place. In addition, the all-silicone design meant the toy was waterproof, further opening your world to new possibilities.
  • Build Quality: The Lovehoney designers delivered a stunning anal vibrator with limited resources. Unlike other cheap models made from plastic, it’s carved from high-quality silicone material, with impressive attention to detail. It was astonishing how everything looked well put, despite the affordable price.

Other Good Alternatives

Bondage Boutique Black Bound to Please Under Mattress RestraintBondage Boutique Under Mattress Restraint is the cheapest bondage toy on this list. For $49.99, the elaborate restraint system turns a regular mattress into a mini BDSM dungeon. The sub’s legs and arms are entirely restrained, giving you full access to their genitals and all erogenous zones. Unlike the other models we reviewed, setting up the bondage toy was straightforward. In addition, the adjustable cuff straps fasten with Velcro for maximum comfort. More importantly, the product is compatible with almost any bed size.

Lovehoney Beginner’s Unisex Strap-OnLovehoney Beginner’s Kit gave us the best value among the strap-on & pegging kits we tested. Like Under Mattress Restraint, it costs $44.99, a comparatively affordable price for the versatile product. We loved how complete the set looked, with the cozy harness and a 5-inch silicone dildo. The adjustable harness accommodates sizes between 18 and 68 inches, making it perfect for all users. In addition, the three interchangeable silicone O-rings made it easy to switch between different dildos in your collection. Once you’re done, just toss the machine-washable in the washer, and out comes a fresh and clean piece.

Note: If you plan to grab the Lovehoney Beginner’s Kit, make sure you grab a harness-compatible dildo so they can complement each other very well.

Closeup of the charging portHoney Play Box Scioness stood out among the affordable tongue vibrators we tested. Besides the reasonable $68.99 price, we loved the realistic tongue-licking sensations. Unlike most models that only rely on suction waves to recreate oral sex, the model has a realistic tongue inside the clit-cupping hood. The tongue flipped back and forth to simulate oral sex, with an impressive range of nine patterns to explore. Something else that made the clit suction toy unique was the dual stimulation. Besides the tongue-licking sensations, the clitoral pump has up to three different suction waves for the ultimate clitoral bliss.

Fifty Shades of Grey Tighten and Tense Silicone Jiggle BallsFifty Shades of Grey Tighten and Tense silicone Jiggle Balls were the most affordable Kegel balls we found. For $24.99, the weighted Kegel balls are a worthy investment. More than anything else, we appreciated how well-thought-out the design was. Everything from the velvet smooth silicone material to the user-friendly retrieval cord and internal free-roaming build, no product came close to Tighten and Tense. “The extra thrills from the roaming design made the Kegel balls unique,” says Rachel Sommer. “It was unlike anything else I’ve used, and the balance between ease of use and effectiveness made it all worth it.”

 


Where Can I Buy Cheap Sex Toys?

We recommend only buying from established stores and manufacturers, like Lovehoney and Fleshlight.

“But you need to be aware of quality when buying cheaper sex toys,” says Rachel Sommer, Ph.D., our certified sexologist and sex educator. “Many manufacturers, especially from China, cut corners to get the cost down, resulting in products that may contain porous and toxic materials, for example, Jelly rubber, PVC, or TPE.”
