Whether you're a complete newbie to the sex toy game or know exactly what you're looking for, sometimes it can feel a bit overwhelming to search through all the different types of sex toys online. To make it a little easier for you, we've done the hard job of testing them all out. Okay, we'll admit - it wasn't that hard.

According to Eleanor Mckenzie, Editor of erotic subscription Lady Victoria Howard, masturbating releases an incredible cocktail of hormones that improves your well-being in a number of ways.

'Research and anecdotal reports suggest that sexual stimulation, like masturbation, can relieve stress and tension, boost your mood, help you sleep better and improve your sex life by better understanding your wants and needs,' she explains. 'Orgasm causes the release of endorphins, which are known to reduce stress and boost confidence. Also released is serotonin, which is a known antidepressant.'

Undoubtedly, she says, it proved particularly important during lockdown to combat loneliness and the lack of physical touch.

Masturbation can relieve stress and tension, boost your mood, help you sleep better and improve your sex life.

Perhaps that's why Lily Allen's 'The Liberty' vibrator in collaboration with Womanizer skyrocketed off the shelves upon its release back in 2021. In fact, according to Google Trends, searches for the 'best vibrators for women' and 'best sex toys' on Lovehoney, Womaniser and Bondara went through the roof throughout lockdown. The Doxy Massage Wand seemed to be of particular interest, with searches peaking for it too.

With all that in mind, we've put together this list of the best vibrators for women from budget vibrators to sex toys for mums - tried and tested. You're welcome (or rather, thank you). We don't really need convincing to be honest...

How Lockdown Changed Women's Views On Sex Toys

'If I'm being really honest, I had more orgasms in lockdown than I would normally. Dating men is like playing the orgasm lottery, you get one in a blue moon. After the casual sex ban, I started having sex with myself way more. I was satisfied all the time. Even now, I haven't gone back to my old sex life, I just think... if men aren't giving me regular orgasms... why would I bother?'

Claudia is one of many women whose relationship with sex and masturbation completely changed because of the lockdown. Finding more time at home alone meant one thing: our sex toys and vibrators became our best friends.

'Before lockdown, I rarely had time to masturbate,' Niamh, from Liverpool, told Grazia during lockdown. 'Now, I get at least two sessions in a day and I love it. It's not just the orgasms - although they certainly help me feel more productive and relaxed day to day - I feel like I've really improved my relationship with my body and outlook on sex in general.

'I wasn't necessarily ashamed before, but I wasn't very experimental and didn't see masturbating as a priority. Now, knowing how much it can improve my mood and general well-being, I feel like it's a vital element of self-care.'

Ultimately, lockdown seems to have changed our attitudes towards sex and masturbation for good, even after we returned to normal socialising. Because, once you've experienced the high life - and we mean, very high - why go back?
