We’d like to pay tribute to the rabbit today.

Forever immortalised in season one of Sex and the City – when Charlotte York gets so obsessed with her new dildo that the other ladies have to stage an intervention and force her to leave the comfort of her bed – the rabbit quickly rose to sex toy glory.

But is it really worth the hype?

At first glance, rabbits can seem fiddly. And since not every rabbit offers the same experience, your orgasms could end up costing you a lot of money, if you’re unhappy with your choice.


To help you on your way and to celebrate National Rabbit Day, we tasked ourselves with the arduous task of trying out seven different vibrators – from the original style with floppy little ears on a miniature bunny, to new sleek versions in an array of different colours, shapes and sizes.



The reviews below are from several women and these are the conclusions they (and I) came to.

Happy Rabbit Thrusting Vibrator, £79.99

I have always been skeptical about rabbit vibrators.

As someone who appreciates simplicity, they often seem overcomplicated and I prefer to just use my hands or, you know, a dick.

But I stand corrected, because the Happy Rabbit Thrusting Vibrator was so good, I had an orgasm in approximately 30 seconds.

I have tried dildos in the past and most of them slide out, so you have to reach down and hold it yourself, which is more faff than I can be bothered with.

But thanks to the size and the ridges on this one, I put it in and it just stayed there.

What’s better, the thrusting function is intense (yes, it really does go in and out on its own) and since the little rabbit was tickling my clitoris at the same time, I didn’t even need to use my hands to make myself orgasm.

It genuinely feels as if you’re actually getting f***ed by someone.

The only downside? It’s a little difficult to clean, because of the tight ridges.

Satisfyer Pro G-Spot, £62.95

This vibrator is a must-have for blended orgasms.

The shorter bit, which has sound waves running through it, gently caresses and sucks the clitoris, which coupled with the vibrator itself can be pretty mind-blowing.

Unfortunately for me, I don’t get too stimulated by my clitoris, so I didn’t turn this bit on too often.

But, the good thing about the Satisfyer is that you can switch between the two functions – using just the ‘sucker’ or skip it and go for penetration vibrations.

The controls can be a bit difficult to turn off and on though, as they are a bit stiff (even when you’re not using the toy). There are 11 different settings, though most are pretty similar, with a few fast and strong ones that I really enjoyed.

It’s also waterproof and there’s also a little white light to provide some guidance if you’re going at it in the dark.

This is by far the most luxurious vibrator I’ve ever used.



The designers have clearly given it a lot of thought; it has a matte finish with a silvery, metal-like part in the middle, making it look less like a dildo and more like something to display on your coffee table (though guests might be slightly taken aback).

But as for its orgasm power, I’m torn.

On the one hand, it’s a good size and the handle makes it very easy to manouver into the right spot, but sometimes you just want a rougher session – and the Soraya isn’t ideal in that scenario.

The rabbit part is also shaped differently to the classic ears, which was intriguing but didn’t make much difference to me personally.

Overall a good choice – especially as a gift, and if you have the money to splurge.

So Divine ‘Kiss Kiss’, £64.99

The So Divine has clearly been very well-thought-out.

Its design is eloquent and unassuming, and its shape ensures it reaches all the ‘right’ places.

With 10 varying vibration settings and the ability to increase and decrease the sensitivity, there is a setting to please anyone (including me).

It also has a ‘body temperature’ feature on the tip, a function I didn’t know I needed, but really liked.

I did orgasm and it was good, but similar to orgasms I’ve had from other sex toys.

I’ve never used a penetrating vibrator before, but thankfully the PSLRx isn’t intimidating for a first-timer.

When put to use it was highly enjoyable.

The vibrator itself is pleasurable, as the dildo part is curved to hit the right spot.


But the rabbit bit of the dildo was pretty unsatisfying, since it wasn’t long enough to reach the clit and just dug into me too much.

On the upside, for those who like to mix it up, it has three intensity settings and four pulsation modes, but I usually just keep it at a steady pace.

It did make me orgasm though – something that doesn’t always happen when I have sex – and I’ll definitely keep using it.

Happy Rabbit Triple Curve, £79.99

At first glance, this vibrator looks terrifying, especially with the anal beads daring you to take your self-loving sessions a step further.

It’s a lot bigger than you’d expect, so definitely lube up. And take your time – this isn’t the kind of toy you can just whack out for the daily morning orgasm before work.

The penetrating bit meant for your vagina is fairly standard, but the size wasn’t quite right for me. The rabbit ears also slightly missed the mark, clitoris-wise.

Meanwhile, trying to shove the anal beads inside proved very difficult, because I couldn’t reach the right way.

In the end, I was left a little disappointed and didn’t orgasm; it felt like too much effort.

Having said that, I’d definitely try it again with a partner so that he can help me out. Hopefully then I can enjoy the benefits of the toy fully (especially the anal part).

Bondara Pride Luxury Rainbow, £24.99

Firstly, it’s just so cute. Yay for the rainbow.

And I love that 10% of the proceeds of the Bondara dildo go to the LGBT Foundation.


Sadly, although it’s a great size for taking with you when you’re travelling, it came up a bit short. Quite literally, I couldn’t reach my g spot.

The rabbit ears were nice but felt somewhat intense after a while.

But it gets plus points for the handle. The loop made it very easy to use the vibrator, something I’ve been missing with other toys.

Top tips when buying a rabbit If you’re popping your vibrator cherry, pick something smaller to begin with. The extra gadgets and triple-action toys can be intimidating if you’ve never played with one before.

Invest in a good lubricant, especially if you’re using a larger vibrator.

Looking online but can’t decide whether to get a traditional rabbit or the sleeker, less bunny-type models? Visit a sex shop instead, as many of them have vibrators on display so that you can touch the different textures and settings (in your hand, mind you).

Cleanliness is important. Keep your rabbit in tip-top condition by cleaning it after every use. Most vibrators come with instructions for this, but if in doubt use warm water and if you want, a bit of non-scented soap. Or alternatively, use a damp cloth.

Vibrators don’t just have to be for solo play. Want to spice things up with your partner? Then why not ask him or her to join you.

Although most rabbits are generally designed for the female anatomy, that doesn’t mean men can’t enjoy them, too.
