How we tested the best sex toys for couples
We tested as many of these couples' sex toys, with our partners, as we could. When this was the case, we tested over a period of at least one month during foreplay and partnered sex. For those toys we haven't yet had the chance to test IRL? We spoke to experts, scoured customer reviews and spoke to retailers about their bestselling models. Every sex toy for couples in this edit has been rated on design, intensity of orgasm, ease-of-use, battery life, delivery and vibration settings.
What are some of the benefits of using sex toys for couples?
If you're already well-acquainted with using couples sex toys with your S/O, we applaud you – it's not something that everyone feels confident doing. If not, it might be because of the common misconception that using a sex toy is a sign that you or your partner is dissatisfied. If that's the case, let us change the narrative.
One of the greatest benefits of using sex toys for couples is that you can explore the pleasure points and erogenous zones of yourself and your partner, to help you both understand what turns the other person on. And knowing your body (and what good sex feels like to you) is crucial in boosting self-esteem.
If that wasn't enough, sex toys for couples can help to bridge the orgasm gap. It's no secret that straight men report climaxing during sex much more frequently and consistently than people with vaginas in heterosexual relationships – but don't just lay back and accept it. Many of these sex toys for couples serve up clitoral stimulation to help make achieving an orgasm during penetrative sex *so* much easier (case in point: the Dame Fin mint green clitoral vibrator which your partner can wear on their fingers).
“Sex toys in a relationship are not a replacement, they are an addition, an enhancement, and a way to explore and pleasure one another in new and exciting ways which are perhaps not always possible without them,” Laura Wood, Sales Executive and Sexpert So Divine told us. “Toys do things our bodies just cannot, like pulse and vibrate. These sensations can help many people have more consistent and frequent orgasmic experiences that your partner will love to see and be a part of.” It's official: adding a vibrator/lube/sex game/massage candle into the bedroom will only make the experience far more satisfying and exciting than it already is.
The number of sex toy stores is burgeoning.
What makes a good sex toy for couples?
While many of the best sex toys for women are geared at masturbation, the best sex toys for couples are designed with the pleasure of two people in mind. Some offer a gentle nudge in the direction of an orgasm, while others will provide a higher-intensity experience. And thanks to the pioneering, female-led and trend-savvy retailers behind them (think: Smilemakers, Dame and LELO), some of them are actually pretty sleek.
“When buying a sex toy with your partner, think about what you want to achieve with this,” Laura said. For example, "if you know you struggle to orgasm from penetration, go for a toy like a bullet vibrator that can be used to stimulate the clitoris whilst also having sex with a partner."
Take this (very pretty) wearable vibrator which can be used during sex, for example. Worn internally by women while having sex, it features LELO’s exclusive SenseMotion™ technology which allows users to control the sensations during lovemaking through movements of the remote. It's made from soft, flexible silicone it adds a fantastic option for adventurous bedroom play - a more fulfilling feeling for her and more intensity for him make it the best sex toy for couples to share bigger climaxes.
Elsewhere, there are remote-control vibrators that are perfect for long-distance lovers, a cock ring which basically supercharges your entire penetrative experience and Satisfyer's Double Whale which waterproof so it can join you in the shower. Oh, and let's not forget Lelo's Tor 2 which can be strapped onto a dildo or slid over a penis – Dame Products' Eva which (despite looking a little strange), nestles in the labia and stimulates the clitoris during penetrative sex.
Sex is to be enjoyed, so if you're still unsure then don't feel you need to rush into buying a whole treasure trove of remote control vibrators, sex toy advent calendars, wearable vibrators, vibrating panties, butt plugs, magic wand vibrators, massage oils, sex games and blindfolds. But, if you are curious, scroll back up and shop our complete guide to the best sex toys for couples that will take your sex and foreplay to the next level. Staying in for date night never looked (or felt) so good.
