HORNY women have turned to Mumsnet for tips on the best sex toys to buy to spice up their love lives.
The parenting website has long been the place where mothers swap hints on everyday problems, such as breast-feeding, getting babies to sleep and encouraging tots to eat their vegetables.
But now mums are logging on to get advice about vibrators and other X-rated playthings.
A newcomer took to the forum and revealed she was planning to invest in a toy with her husband, but was confused by the huge choice available.
She wrote: “Myself and my DH [dear husband], have recently after a few issues in our relationship (predominantly sleep related) have really reconnected and are back in the swing of things in the boudoir!

“So we've discussed buying some toys to play with but with so much out there it's hard to know where the hell to start!!
“I've read on here that the womaniser is supposed to be unreal but I've not had the best experiences with vibes before and am a little apprehensive about spending so much while we're still experimenting...”
She revealed she had been looking on e-retailer Lovehoney and wanted a toy that would help replicate her current sex life with her husband.
Another mum wanted a toy to spice up her birthday break with her boyfriend.
She said “My OH [other half] has booked a romantic weekend for my birthday treat.
“I am just trying to find out what people think is the best toy - one that if they couldn't have any other it must be this one? Just asking advice.”
She was inundated with responses, with people recommending toys.
AQuietMind told her: “Womaniser - don't let the name put you off. Expensive but worth every penny.”
Bicarb revealed: “Another not cheap one, but the Doxy has very positive reviews from people I know. It will shake your fillings out at higher levels though and is not very quiet!”
Another added: “I found the Womanizer extremely painful. Ditto the Lelo 2.
“The mains-powered magic wand (either Hitachi brand or LoveHoney's own version) or the smaller rechargeable magic wand are probably my go to toys.”
Patchouli666 raved: “Got a womaniser. The black version with skulls on it! Better than girly pink any day! It's fab.
“The Lovehoney mini rechargeable wand is brilliant too. Lovehoney are great tho, whatever you order you can send back for a full year for any reason. So go for it!”
The Womanizer retails from £84.99, comes in a variety of colours and is waterproof.
It claims to “stir up sensitivity and leave you powerless in its pleasuring thrall.”
The Doxy is £89.99 and features numerous speeds and patterns.
Meanwhile, the Lelo 2 is a silicone vibrator that offers eight near-silent vibration patterns. It costs £119.99.
A Mumsnet user recently revealed her husband has just three pairs of pants which don't get washed for two weeks.
While another mother shocked users with a photograph of a handmade doll with "nipples, pubes and suspenders" that was handed into a charity shop.
