Lovehoney has shared some of the best reviews from its range of toys, with shoppers describing experiences from ‘being reborn’ to talking like a pirate
The sex toy industry has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past 20 years, with breakthroughs aimed at making pleasure more attainable, intense and, occasionally, memorably amusing. Among the biggest developments has been clitoral suction technology, which employs gentle air pulses to stimulate the clitoris instead of conventional vibration.
Sexual wellness retailer Lovehoney has seen this shift first-hand. Since launching in 2002, the brand says it has amassed more than 250,000 customer reviews and earned two Queen’s Awards for Enterprise.
Now the retailer is sharing some of the most entertaining and enthusiastic feedback from shoppers who have tried its bestselling clitoral suction toys. Reviews range from ‘being reborn’ to one user suddenly talking like a pirate, according to the Daily Star.
The Lovehoney x Romp Switch X for £34.99 has become one of the brand’s bestselling toys – and judging by the reviews, it’s not hard to see why. Using Pleasure Air Technology to create rapid pulses of air stimulation, the simple battery-powered toy offers six intensity levels and a whisper-quiet design.
One delighted customer described such a powerful experience that it briefly transformed their vocabulary into pirate-speak. They said: “Oh shiver my timbers!” After just two days of use, they joked that they are ‘practically best friends’.

They continued: “Unlike the postman… my gosh did I come… within seconds of using this thing,” adding that the device delivered an ‘explosion within 30 seconds’. With its easy controls and strong performance, it has quickly become a favourite.
For those looking for something small but mighty, the Lovehoney x Womanizer Starlet for £69.99 has also gained a loyal following. The compact, rechargeable clitoral suction stimulator features four intensity levels and the same Pleasure Air Technology that has made this category so popular.
One reviewer said the experience felt like ‘being reborn’, joking that they must have been ‘living in the shadows’ before discovering it. They even compared the sensation to ‘an exorcism being performed’, admitting they briefly worried their smart home system might think they were being attacked because of the noises they were making.
Despite its tiny size, the toy has racked up more than 1,000 five-star reviews, the brand says. The discreet design and powerful stimulation mean many users say the small but mighty device proves that when it comes to pleasure, size definitely isn’t everything.
If these ones aren’t for everyone, Ann Summers currently has up to 30% off selected lines for both sex toys and vibrators at the moment. Another option from Amazon is the Fidech G Spot Rabbit Vibrator for £15.99, down from £16.99 currently, that comes with two motors that focus on G-spot and clitoral stimulation and is made of ‘safe silicone’.
Shoppers, however, have rated the Lovehoney products highly. One person said about the Romp Switch: “Perfect for those who have tendon issues in their hand and need something else for solo play.”
Another added: “This charming little self-care toy is small in size but big on good vibes. With a smooth, cheerful design and friendly curves, it’s made to bring a smile to your face while you unwind. Slip it into a pocket, purse, or bedside drawer – it’s always ready for a cosy moment of me-time. Quiet, cute, and delightfully easy to use, it turns personal relaxation into a fun, feel-good treat whenever the mood strikes.”
Some disagreed slightly and said: “Takes a little trial and error (which in itself was quite fun!) but wow, took me by surprise how powerful this was and how quickly it got me where I wanted to go.” Another wrote: “A little louder than I’d like, especially at higher powers, but that’s basically my only general complaint.”
Overall, most people were pleased. Someone else said: “Fantastic, has me coming in no time, wish I would have bought (one) before, got me very wet in seconds.”
