"The Pilot"

Fourteen intensity levels put "The Pilot" at the top of Womanizer's air-pulse range, and Womanizer says more than 1500 testers were involved in getting it right.

Autopilot is the reason to choose it. Switch it on and "The Pilot" moves through the levels by itself, rising and falling without you deciding, which is worth having on an evening when you don't want to think about buttons. Smart Silence keeps the motor off until the head is against your skin. That does mean you can't try a setting in the air first: "The Pilot" only runs once it's touching you.

At 15.5 cm long and 141 grams it fills your hand properly. Two head sizes come in the box so the opening can sit over the clitoris without pinching. It's IPX7 waterproof, and two hours on the cable gives up to four hours of running time. Womanizer has a five year warranty on it.
