Best Couples' Toys: How to Introduce Sex Toys Into Your Relationship

Why Couples Are Embracing Sex Toys Together

Sex toys can open up a new dimension of pleasure for couples, far beyond solo use. Studies reveal that partners who explore toys together often enjoy stronger relationships and communicate more openly about their desires. No matter how long you’ve been together, bringing a toy into the bedroom can reignite passion and strengthen your emotional bond.

If you’re curious about adding something new but aren’t sure how to begin, this guide highlights the most popular couples’ toys and offers practical advice for a smooth introduction.

Best Types of Couples' Toys

Vibrating Rings

Vibrating cock rings make an easy starting point for couples. Worn at the base of the penis, they deliver vibration to both partners during sex. The Screaming O Vibrating Ring is a budget-friendly, disposable choice that's ideal for first-time users who want to experiment without a big commitment.

Wearable Couples Vibrators

C-shaped or U-shaped vibrators—such as the Lelo Tiani 3 and We-Vibe Nova 2—are designed to be worn during intercourse, stimulating both internally and externally. These toys sit at a higher price point, but the dual sensations can make them a favorite among couples seeking more variety.

Remote-Controlled Toys

Let your partner take charge with remote-controlled toys like the In Sync Remote Controlled Couples Toy or the Butterfly Effect with Remote. Passing the controls back and forth can add an exciting, playful twist to your intimate time together.

App-Connected Toys for Long Distance

For partners separated by distance, app-controlled toys create shared pleasure across any location. If this interests you, our long-distance relationship toys guide covers all your options in detail.

How to Bring Up the Conversation

Open communication lays the groundwork for trying new things. Some effective ways to introduce the topic include:

• Be direct and positive: "I've been reading about couples' toys and I think it could be really fun for us."
• Frame it as an adventure: "I want to explore new ways to make each other feel amazing."
• Browse together: Scroll through our couples' toy collection and see what sparks mutual curiosity.
• Start small: Trying a simple vibrating ring first can feel less overwhelming than jumping into more advanced options.

What If Your Partner Is Hesitant?

Respect is crucial. Many people feel unsure because of myths—like the idea that toys are meant to replace a partner, or that using them signals something is lacking. Reassure your partner that toys are simply another way to enjoy pleasure together, nothing more. From what we’ve seen, normalizing the conversation by mentioning that many couples use toys can help ease concerns.
