The Abridged Sinner or Saint Guide to Vibrators

In the interests of making a comparison of the vibrators I've reviewed easier for you, the reader, I've decided to make a quick blow by blow comparison of the contenders thus far reviewed.  Of course, the full reviews are always available and contain quite a bit more information, this is just the nitty gritty...sort of The Abridged Sinner or Saint Guide to Vibrators.


From left to right, we have:
