The 20 Best Sex Toys for Couples and Expert Tips for Trying Toys

Enjoying some solo sex toy play is obviously a must, but one of the quickest ways to spice up your romantic life with bae is to incorporate sex toys for couples into the mix. Not only does it add a little variety to your sex lives, but it's a great way to bond, understand each other more and open up conversations around intimacy and sex in general.

"Introducing sex toys can be exhilarating, scary and fun and ultimately enhance your sexual relationship with someone by having new experiences, communicating more profoundly and creating more pleasure," says Rachel Wright, a licensed psychotherapist and sex educator for Zumio. "Sex is play, and bringing in new props and toys can be so fun."

Also, adult sex toys for couples can sometimes do things that human beings simply cannot do, which makes using them together even more fun. From specially designed toys that can be worn during penetrative sex to vibrators for foreplay or simultaneous pleasure to options made with the LGBTQIA+ community specifically in mind, the options are nearly endless when it comes to the best sex toys for couples.

We-Vibe Melt

Melt is an air pleasure couples vibrator with a sleek design that lets you use it during penetrative sex without the vibrator being in the way. "The pulsing air builds up strong orgasms and makes every woman orgasm fast which otherwise is uncommon when it comes to penetrative sex," says Sofie Roos, licensed sexologist and relationship therapist. This versatile sex toy for couples can be used for couples play and solo time, so it's a two-in-one for all people with a vulva. Roose says, "It's the perfect pick for every couple longing for more clitoris orgasms during penetrative sex!"

Standout feature: The vibrator can be controlled from the phone which makes everything easier, and it's waterproof for shower and bathtub sex, as well.

Notable review: "We own quite a few toys but this has to be my wife's favorite one. Despite trying many times, so far we haven't come across anything better. It never fails to deliver, giving my wife orgasm after orgasm. Its compact design allows plenty of room during partnered sex or when using large toys simultaneously." — Tom

LELO Tiani Duo

You and your partner deserve to treat yourselves and this baby is worth the higher price tag. New to LELO's collection of elevated sex toys, the Tiani Duo is a dual vibrator whose two motors work together to deliver pleasure to both partners simultaneously. "This vibrator is designed to be worn by the person receiving penetration during penetrative sex. It provides vibrations, however, for both people involved," Wright says. "It's flexible, which helps ensure comfort and targeted stimulation. Plus, it comes with a remote control for easy adjustments during play."

Standout feature: The wireless remote features an intuitive SenseMotion technology that allows you to adjust the vibrations with just light hand movement.

Notable review: "This was my first LELO product. We bought it to enhance foreplay. It fits well, but sometimes slips out depending on the position. The remote is fun for my partner to control while I am wearing it and doing things to him. This would be a great introductory product for someone who has never used a sex toy. I recommend playing around with it solo to learn the different settings and how the remote works. Then either explain how it works to a partner for them to use, or spend some time wearing it while they play around with the settings to learn how to use it. It's been really fun!" — RoseQuartz

Wet for Her StartHer Kit Harness and Strap-on Dildo

Photo: Wet for Her

Since strap-on sex toys can sometimes be intimidating for beginners, a straightforward starter pack is the way to go. This strap-on for couples comes with a flat-base silky soft dildo and an adjustable O-ring harness for a secure fit. Both the dildo and harness are available in a variety of sizes (up to 5X, in the harness's case). We also love that this retailer focuses on providing high-quality toys specifically for the LGBTQIA+ community (although strap-ons can of course be used in heterosexual relationships, too).

Standout feature: The adjustable harness is designed to fit XS-5X and fits different dildo diameters so you can mix and match with your other favorite toys.

Notable review: "Well, couldn't even count on both hands how many times my partner came." — Kay

Acvioo 360-Degree Rotating Anal Vibrator

"For anyone with an orifice—and particularly prostate owners—this stimulator moves around to reach the P-spot," notes Paul Aaron Travis, certified sexologist and founder of The School For Love. "It's very affordable and, after hygienic cleaning, can also be used in a vagina." The fact that it's on Amazon makes it easy to shop for, too. (There are actually sex a ton of sex toys on Amazon! Who knew?)

Standout feature: It's suitable for waterplay and comes with a remote control for hidden usage.

Notable review: "This vibrator has lots of features. several different speeds for the rotating head. Lots of different vibrations slow, fast, pulsating and other variations of those as well. The texture of the vibrator is comfortable. No batteries for the vibrator just plug it into a USB charger." — JShaw

Magic Wand Micro

One of the chief complaints of the viral Magic Wand is its hefty size, which isn't exactly discreet and, historically, needed to be plugged in. This petite version tackles both of those issues, but don't be fooled by its size. It packs serious power into its tinier size (6500 RPM deep vibrations, to be exact). It also comes with three speeds and four functions for all sorts of play together.

Standout feature: The small size of this sexy toy for couples makes it travel-friendly. It's also rechargeable!

Notable review: "Definitely does its job, has a very soft head, has four different vibrations, but if not used to it start on the first level and work your way up because it is a very good vibrator. I made it to three just trying out the different vibrations and let me tell you it had me before the fourth level and even though most people are more sensitive than others, let's just say it was under two minutes for me when it's usually around five minutes. I can definitely say if you are looking for a good and fun toy this is it." — SarahC85

Zumio Sadie Clitoral Stimulator

This little gadget looks different from other sex toys on the market, but don't write it off so fast. It can deliver some seriously intense pleasure for her. "The Zumio is a precision external stimulator that uses a rotating tip to deliver focused and intense pleasure," Wright explains. "It's fantastic for couples because it allows one partner to take control and tease the other with pinpoint accuracy. Try incorporating it during foreplay to heighten arousal or use it to enhance clitoral stimulation during penetrative sex."

Standout feature: This best couples' sex toy has a short, flexible stem with a soft round tip that gently stimulates the clitoris. Choose from eight different speeds.

Notable review: "My girlfriend was highly impressed; to say the least. Pinpoint accuracy that makes getting to the best, most reactive parts a smooth simple action." — Michael W.

Dame Eva Couples Vibrator

The Dame's infamous Eva vibrator is a fun sex toy for couples designed to be worn during partnered (or solo) sex. The soft and flexible wings can be nestled within the labia for a secure and comfortable fit while its body provides clitoral stimulation. The three vibration intensities and several patterns pack plenty of punch, and its discreet size is also a plus.

Standout feature: The hands-free, wearable design allows this toy to be worn during partnered sex without being a distraction.

Notable review: "This has truly been a game changer for my husband and me. I'm on top more, and having amazing orgasms. I love that it's so easy to clean and recharge. HIGHLY recommend!" — Sue

This blue-tooth controlled sex toy for couples takes the cake in the cock rings category, according to expert Marla Renee Stewart. She says, "Not only can you use this when engaging in phone sex long-distance, but you both can find a vibrational pattern that works for both of you. Vibrating cock rings are great for genital to genital grinding and the vibrations really add to the penetrating person's thrust."

Standout feature: The remote control and numerous vibration patterns make this one of the best cock rings for couples.

Notable review: "Hubby definitely loves this. Its vibration on low is so powerful." — Stephanie S.

Liberator Heart Wedge Sex Pillow

You don't necessarily need electronics to elevate your sexual experience. This sex pillow will go a long way in helping you explore new positions, as well as prolonging sessions, reducing discomfort and aiding those who may need additional support. Plus, this one comes in a fun heart-shaped design.

Standout feature: The high-density inner foam core manages to be both soft and incredibly supportive.

Notable review: "We don't know how we got by without this! My wife is only 5ft tall and it was impossible to get into many positions due to her short legs. It is perfect and not only for her but for me as well to discover new angles. It is very well made. It's durable enough to handle regular use. Easy to clean and very discreet if you have children in the house." — Verified Buyer

Satisfyer Pro 2

Easily one of the most top-rated sex toys for couples and solo play alike, the Satisfyer Pro 2 is a suction vibrator for clitoral stimulation known for delivering many orgasms in short time frames. "Many report orgasming within a minute using suction toys like this one," says Suzannah Weiss, resident sexologist for Fleshy. "It creates a suction motion over your clitoris, almost like a blow job for your clit. Make sure you are getting it from the Satisfyer store so that you know it's legit."

Standout feature: The new Satisfyer Pro 2 features the retailer's "Liquid Air Technology," which mimics the sensation of pulsing water.

Notable review: "To dieeeeee for, between the mouth-watering air pulse and the optional vibration, by far my favorite toy I own. Not to mention all the amazing features included with the app that's super easy to use. 10/10 would recommend." — Whitney T.

We-Vibe Chorus

Couples in long-distance relationships who want to remain intimate with one another may want to consider long-distance sex toys. These sexy toys for couples can be controlled from anywhere via a compatible app, so you can still play with your partner wherever they may be. One of the best in this category is the We-Vibe Chorus. Wright says, "This wearable couple's vibrator stimulates both partners during sex. It's worn internally by the receiving partner, providing clitoral and G-spot stimulation while the external portion rests against the clitoris." (Want to see more long-distance sex toys? Browse our favorites here.)

Standout feature: It also comes with a remote or app, so partners can adjust settings together, making it highly interactive and fun.

Notable review: "Perfect for two to play with. Ergonomic, small with a big impact. Various speeds and intensity for hours of pleasure. Remote for continuous control needs to be kept close, and hand controls on the gadget are always available. Soo many variations—find your favorite!" — Verified We-Vibe Customer

LELO Hugo

Those who enjoy (or are curious about) prostate or anal play should look to LELO's Hugo prostate vibrator. Made for both coupled and solo sex, this male sex toy is designed with a motor in both the tip and base of the insertable shaft for maximum sensation, and its medium size is suitable for many body types and levels of experience.

Standout feature: The Hugo comes with a wireless remote control that you or your partner can use to control the device.

Notable review: "I must say, when I was considering spending this much money on a toy I thought to myself that I must be mad. But having had it for a few years now I can well and truly say it's the best toy I've ever bought. It still works as new today as it did in 2018. Me and my partner both love it, it's fun to use with the remote and has nice and powerful vibrations. Fits us great and is nice and comfortable. Rechargeable via a cable so no need to keep buying batteries either. It's a comfortable size, lovely texture and very easy to clean." — Salamanders333

Adam and Eve Eve's Vibrating Strapless Strap-On

Photo: Adam and Eve

Strapless strap-ons are great for eliminating some of the prep work that strap-on sex usually requires, and many also love them for alleviating gender dysphoria during sex. In lieu of finicky straps, this strap-on is held inside one's vagina via the bulbous end, while they penetrate their partner with the longer one. Each end is equipped with motors to provide both partners with maximum pleasure.

Standout feature: The bulbous end features raised ribs that press against the clitoris to provide the wearer with additional stimulation as they thrust.

Notable review: "The strap systems always make me feel awkward. This had me feeling sexy and the internal vibes are so much better than a bullet [vibrator] like other strapless ones have. It is slightly hard and my partner wishes it would be a bit softer, [but it] held in me well."

Pivot Deluxe Door Sling

If you and your bae are into a little BDSM—or simply want to add a major twist to your intimate time—this is a great pick. "Couples often get bored in the bedroom after a while because they get into a sex routine and it's better when you have variety," Stewart says. "The swing allows you to get out of your regular routine and utilize the swing to get to know your lover's body in a different way. It also allows you the curiosity to see how your lover's body can orgasm from a different position and atmosphere."

Standout feature: The seat features a convertible design that adjusts to a 90-degree angle or lays flat for endless position options.

Wet for Her RockHer Mini Scissoring Vibrator

Photo: Wet for Her

While not every partnered pair of vagina-owners enjoys this particular sex act, some do! And if you're a member of that club, consider the RockHer vibrator. It's designed not to get in the way of your bodies when you're being intimate. The vibrating bulbous end can be inserted into the vagina, while the ring gently holds open and frames the labia for more accessible clitoris stimulation. The 10 vibration options can be controlled through the included remote control.

Standout feature: The unique function of (and thought behind) this particular sex toy for lesbian couples makes it worthy of the spotlight.

Notable review: "It's been a game changer. The vibrator itself is made of high-quality silicone and is very easy and ergonomic to insert. The strength of the vibration really surprised me and this is coming from someone who almost exclusively uses high-power wands as vibrators. I highly recommend considering buying one for each of you as it made a big difference in our experience."

Playground Date Night Water-Based Personal Lubricant

Sex should always be comfortable, so it only makes sense to keep some personal lubricant on hand to enhance pleasure for all. Playground (owned by Christina Aguilera) zeroes in on this category. Date Night is a great option for those seeking a water-based, latex-safe lube that smells great and works.

Standout feature: We love that the formulas are clean, vegan, pH-balancing, and made with plant-based ingredients.

Notable review: "I will repurchase when I need to. I love this stuff. A little goes a long way, no more friction when you want a smooth glide experience during intimacy. This small container is going to last. Even with regular use, I still have a lot left. I imagine it will last a year." — Monique

Dame Pom Flexible Vibrator

If you two are looking for a discreet sex toy that literally fits in the palm of your hand, you might find a winner in this low-profile pick. Small but mighty, it fits snugly in one person's hand and can be used in as many ways as your imagination takes you. Plus, it features an array of patterns and intensities.

Standout feature: It's waterproof so you can enjoy this one in the shower, too.

Notable review: "I love this product! It's my now necessary go-to in the bedroom. It has many settings and intensities that can be fun to try and find the best match. It's just the right mix of softness and hard. Always bring pleasure to the bedroom. I love this product!" — S

Unbound Babes Clutch Rabbit Vibrator

Photo: Unbound Babes

This rabbit vibrator delivers thrustings and vibrations to the G-spot via its internal arm that has five intensity settings and five pattern settings. Combine that with the flexible external arm's seven intensity settings and five pattern settings, and you have over 120 possible vibration combinations to choose from! We also love the ergonomic triangular handle that's designed with couples in mind (which has also been found to be useful by those with disabilities).

Standout feature: How could we not shout out those bright and cheery colorways? Talk about a fun sex toy for couples.

Notable review: "Honestly, best I've ever felt. And the fact that it's disability-friendly really sold it for me!"

Sexology Deck

This is one of our top sex toys for couples looking to deepen their connection. "While some of the cards are more geared toward intellectual stimulation, some of the cards are geared toward physical and sexual stimulation, so it's just a matter of pulling one that day to see where it leads you," Stewart says. "We know that being intellectually stimulated by our lover(s) can heighten our arousal and this deck definitely does the job."

Standout feature: These 60 cards are rooted in scientific research and were created by a professional sex and couple's therapist.

Notable review: "Went through a few cards with a new partner and it was a great discussion for over an hour. We also put aside cards to try. Great idea and execution for a deck." — Anna

Ohnut Depth-Limiting Rings

This sexual wellness product allows couples who may experience uncomfortable penetration to explore new positions and enjoy a more comfortable sexual routine. These stretchy, silicone-free and latex-free rings can be slipped around the penis or dildo to customize how deeply one is penetrated. Each set comes with four stackable rings, plus a cloth pouch for storage and travel.

Standout feature: The body-safe, hypoallergenic material retains heat and feels like skin.

Notable review: "I can't believe it took me so long to hear about the Ohnut. After multiple partners' complaints, I would hold off on going 'all out' to avoid having them experience pain. It changed the way I had sex. My wife tolerated the pain and I held back, which reduced both of us being in the moment. The Ohnut rings are as much psychological as physical. Knowing that I physically cannot go too deep makes her relaxed, makes me less in my head, and makes us both enjoy the act more." — Kojo

FAQs About Sex Toys for Couples

Not sure how to start using adult toys in the bedroom? Follow our experts' advice about why it's beneficial and how to start the conversation with your partner.

Why introduce sex toys in the bedroom?

There are lots of reasons why couples choose to bring toys into the bedroom. Sex and relationship therapist and host of The Language of Love podcast, Dr. Laura Berman, thinks of these toys more as "sex aids," which act as a helper to complement and enhance your sex life. According to Berman, they can help deepen the passion and excitement you share with your partner, but that's not all.

"In many cases, sex aids can be invaluable when it comes to issues like illness, aging and more, so it's less about a toy and more about a tool that couples can use to strengthen their intimacy," she explains. Additionally, sex toys can help create a balance where both partners feel safe and satisfied. "For LGBTQIA+ couples, sex aids can play an important role in deepening pleasure as well as combating dysphoria and making the bedroom a more equitable and enjoyable place," she says.

How do I talk to my partner about sex toys?

Nervous about starting the conversation? It's helpful to begin with a little reassurance. "Approach the conversation with curiosity and openness," Wright says. "I'd recommend getting consent for the conversation, and then, once you're in it, start by expressing your interest in enhancing your shared pleasure and exploring new experiences together." You might say something like, "I've been curious about trying something new in the bedroom, and I think it could be really fun for us to explore together." Wright's best advice here is to focus on how it's about building intimacy between you two, not replacing anyone's role. It's also helpful to browse options together or research to make it a shared, exciting process (use our guide on where to buy sex toys).

What types of sex toys are good for couples?

"Almost any sex toy can work for couples depending on individual needs, body parts and preferences," notes Michelle Shnaidman, CEO and founder of Bellesa, a sexual wellness brand committed to helping people embrace their sexuality. "That said, there are certain toys that are designed specifically with couples in mind." A primary category of couples sex toys, according to Shnaidman, are wearable toys. Examples of these include vibrators designed to be worn inside the vagina during sex and vibrating cock rings that can help with maintaining erections and aid in clitoral stimulation. "The first step is identifying what you want from your sex toys," Shnaidman explains. "The goal of a sex toy is to enhance the sexual experience! Look for a toy that provides stimulation that you know you enjoy on your own that you'd like to bring into your sex life."

Zvolerin notes that quality is important as well. "Look for materials such as silicone, glass or USB-rechargeable items over more trendy, disposable toys."
