Couples Sex Toys: Your Top Questions Answered

Got questions about sex toys for couples? You’re not alone! We’ve taken some of our most-asked, most-searched, and most-pondered questions about couples sex toys straight to our experts.

What are couples sex toys?

While most sex toys can be incorporated into sex and foreplay, when we talk about “couples sex toys” we’re often referring to toys specifically designed to be used during partnered play. These sex toys can sometimes be used during penetrative sex or as a way to enhance intimacy, foreplay, and emotional closeness.

That being said, there are plenty of couples sex toys that can also be enjoyed alone. So never box yourself in just because you’re flying solo.

What kinds of sex toys for couples are there?

Here is a rundown of the types of couples sex toys you’ll find at PureRomance.com:

Cock rings provide constriction around the penis (and sometimes testicles) to provide added pleasure and bedroom staying power. There are even vibrating cock rings that can slide onto a penis, dildo, or other sex toy and provide clitoral stimulation during penetration.

Couples vibrators are vibes that are often designed to enhance penetrative sex. These toys are usually C-shaped (or can be bent into that shape) and feature one end that is inserted into the vagina while the other end nestles up against the clitoris. The penetrating partner can then slide into the vagina as well, providing a tighter experience for the penetrator and a “larger” experience for the partner being penetrated.

Strap-ons and harnesses are often used by those without penises or those who struggle with erectile dysfunction to get in on the penetrative fun as well.

Position straps and swings can enhance sex, providing added leverage, fun new angles, or just enabling new positions. They are also great for those with limited mobility, providing positioning aid during sex.

Penis extenders slide onto the penis and often around the testicles in order to enhance penis size and girth.

Wearable panty vibes are the modern-day version of those “vibrating panties” that created many awkward sitcom moments in the 90s and 2000s. These vibrators are meant to be “worn,” nestling up against the clitoris or sliding into the vagina, and kept in place by underwear.

These vibes come with remote controls, or sometimes link to phone apps, that can be used by the wearer or handed off to a partner for a little sneaky fun while out on the town or even just in for a movie night.

Finally, there are Bondage products that can enhance intimate experiences through the giving up and taking of control in the bedroom.

Are there beginner-friendly sex toys for couples?

Absolutely! Just like other toys, sex toys for couples are designed with beginners in mind.

For beginners interested in vibrating cock rings, we recommend Perfect Match for its simplicity of use and approachability.

For couples’ vibrators, you can’t go wrong with Twilight Mood. While it can be used just like a traditional vibrator, it can also bend to slide into the vagina while simultaneously stimulating the clitoris. Then a penetrating partner can slide in beneath it, providing a heightened experience for both partners.

And when it comes to bondage, Permission To Please offers a variety of ways to play for every comfort level, so you can start slow and build to your satisfaction.

When you’re beginning to explore couples sex toys, it’s always important to remember that communication, curiosity, and an open mind are the keys to making it an unforgettable (and comfortable) experience.

What are the best sex toys for couples?

Like so many things, the best sex toys for couples depend on you and your partner’s preferences.

But when asked for our best, we always recommend our dual-ringed Double Feature cock ring – a consistent fan favorite – and Butterfly Effect, a wearable panty vibe that you can use solo or hand the remote off to a partner for discreet fun while out to dinner or dancing.

What’s the best way to use adult sex toys for couples?

Just like so much involving sex, relationships, and intimacy, the answer is communication! 

Exploring sex toys together can strengthen the depth and emotional intimacy of any relationship. If you also enhance your orgasms and find new ways to play and please along the way…well, it’s doubtful anyone will complain about that.

So talk! Discuss your thoughts, feelings, curiosities, and kinks. Let your partner inside your head so that they can please your body. 

After all, there’s always more pleasure to discover.

What are the benefits of using couples sex toys?
