"The Minx"

The Minx is 31 mm across and weighs 58 g, in body-safe silicone that Lovense makes without phthalates. It still runs up to 7,000 vibrations a minute.

If the usual wearable eggs have always felt too big, The Minx is the smaller one. It is light enough to stay where you put it, and its quietest setting sits at 36 dB, below the hum of a library. You run it from its one button or from the Lovense Remote app on your own phone, from the next room or another country, and you can hand that control to someone else if you ever want to.

Use water-based lubricant only, applied generously and topped up as it dries. Seven minutes on the magnetic charger gives about an hour of play, and the warranty runs a year. Warm water and mild soap afterwards, dried before storing. The Minx is waterproof to a metre, so that hour can happen in the bath.
