Babeland, the saucy sex-toy store founded in response to the lack of women-friendly sex shops, is now entering its 15th year of existence. To celebrate, it's released a list of the top 15 All-Star Sex Toys. Since they're not yet old enough to get a license, we've generously offered to take them for a test drive. Up first, two of the most familiar: the Hitachi magic wand and the fokuoku.

Although it looks like something your grandma would use on her bunions, the Hitachi magic wand ($54) is widely considered the "Cadillac of vibrators." Intended as a legit massager, the wand is so powerful it made the lights flicker in my apartment when I plugged it in. No lie, this thing did the job in approximately 45 seconds, and when I was done I gave myself a nice shoulder massage.

Pro: Raw power! I like that you don't need batteries, but you have to find an outlet close enough to your masturbation station to avoid awkward positions.

Con: The Hitachi is almost too good -- it makes masturbation more of a science than an art.

Originally invented by a dad in order to tickle his kids, the fukouku ($30) is a tiny vibrator that slides over your finger like so. As the packaging proclaims, it can "go anywhere a finger can go!" This little guy appealed to my lazy side, since you don't have to hold it in place. It also comes with three sleeves to vary the sensation.

Pro: Diffuse vibrations kept me from getting that "ow-ow-ow" feeling immediately post-orgasm. Plus, the teeny tingler is cheap -- just 30 bones.

Con: Diffuse vibrations is a euphemism for "not very powerful."
