10 Best Sex Toys for Couples: For Beginners, or Anyone Looking For Extra Spice

10 best sex toys for couples.

We all know sex toys can be great tools for enhancing our personal pleasure. But despite fears around them “replacing” our partners, they can actually be fantastic companions in partnered sex too. So, whether you’re a newbie to introducing sex toys into your relationship, or you are a well-versed couple keen to add even more titillation to your sex life, these 10 best sex toys for couples will hopefully do the trick.

Benefits of using sex toys as a couple

Communication: The beauty of using a toy with a partner is that it is a great ice breaker for sexual communication. So many of us feel inhibited to talk during intimacy, however, it’s one of the key factors in a successful and satisfying sexual scenario. People aren’t mind readers! Using a toy encourages you to discuss what settings you like, where the toy feels best, when you’ve had enough, etc.
Orgasm: Did you know that only 65% of cis women regularly orgasm during sex with a long term partner. That might be something to do with the sexual scripts of penis-in-vagina sex being prioritised in heterosexual relationships. Where only 20% of cis women can orgasm during penetrative sex and the rest need additional clitoral stimulation, there is no shame in bringing in tools to close the Orgasm Gap.
Pleasure: This might be a given, but sex toys are designed to enhance our experience of sexual pleasure. With a variety of types, you can pick and choose to suit your relationship needs and desires.
Play: Sex toys are designed to be played with. As the kink community calls sex “adult play”, treat your toys the same, something to be explored and with a sense of curiosity and adventure. Let go of judgement and allow your playful side a chance to explore.

So, what sex toys are even out there for couples to use? Well, the great thing is – absolutely ANY toy can be used as a ‘couples toy’. Does it work on you? Great! Use it with a partner.

However, there are toys that are undeniably better-suited for partnered use. We always recommend you read the reviews, as there are a few things you might want to consider when choosing your couples’ sex toy:

Is the toy easy to hold?
Does it have a remote control or a compatible app?
Is it something you can both enjoy?

Furthermore, there are many types of toys out there to choose between, so we’ve laid out five categories that are great for couples exploring the discovery of your preferences. And remember, each person in a relationship will have their own needs and desires, so it’s best to check-in before making that purchase.

Couples Rings

Couples rings (also known as penis rings, pleasure rings, or cock rings) are to be worn over the penis (and sometimes balls) often to provide additional strength and sensation to the penis, and if the toy hosts a vibrating motor on the top this also to add clitoral stimulation. This can also be worn over strap-on dildos for the same effect.

Couples Vibes

Couples vibes are typically designed for PIV (penis-in-vagina) sex, but who’s to say you can’t use these toys in other ways. For example DIV (dildo-in-vagina) sex. Ultimately, they are worn inside the vagina with an external part stimulating the clitoris. When using a strap-on dildo, simply slot the couples vibe in to add to the stimulation.

Strap-ons

Speaking of strap-ons. Strapping up can be a great alternative to penis in vagina penetration. Whether you’re using this for pegging, lesbian sex, or simply to shake things up, there are a variety of types of dildos you can use. Some offer vibration stimulation, some are double ended, others are hollow to provide a size change for adding more length or girth to a penis.

Kinky Toys

Toys don’t have to be specifically used for the genitals. Kinky sex toys are a great way to build arousal and anticipation with a partner. Such as blindfolds, rope ties, and other forms of restraint and sensory deprivation. Remember to do your research before diving into kinky play, as it’s important to be risk aware and engage in consensual practices.
