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

Why Couples Are Embracing Sex Toys Together

Sex toys aren't just for solo play. In fact, research shows that couples who use toys together report higher relationship satisfaction and better communication about their intimate needs. Whether you've been together for months or decades, introducing a toy can reignite spark and deepen your connection.

If you're ready to explore but aren't sure where to start, this guide covers the best couples' toys on the market and how to introduce them comfortably.

Best Types of Couples' Toys

Vibrating Rings

Vibrating cock rings are the easiest entry point for couples. They're worn at the base of the penis during intercourse, providing vibration for both partners simultaneously. The Screaming O Vibrating Ring is an affordable, disposable option perfect for first-time couples' toy users.

Wearable Couples Vibrators

C-shaped or U-shaped vibrators like the Lelo Tiani 3 and We-Vibe Nova 2 are worn during penetrative sex, providing internal and clitoral stimulation simultaneously. These are a step up in both price and pleasure.

Remote-Controlled Toys

Give your partner the controls with remote-operated toys like the In Sync Remote Controlled Couples Toy or the Butterfly Effect with Remote. The element of surprise and shared control adds a thrilling dynamic to your intimate moments.

App-Connected Toys for Long Distance

If you're in a long-distance relationship, app-controlled toys let you share intimate experiences from anywhere in the world. We cover this in depth in our long-distance relationship toys guide.

How to Bring Up the Conversation

Communication is key. Here are some approaches that work:

• 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: Look through our couples' toy collection together and talk about what interests you both.
• Start small: A simple vibrating ring is much less intimidating than a complex device.

What If Your Partner Is Hesitant?

Respect their boundaries. Many hesitations come from misconceptions — that toys are a "replacement" or suggest inadequacy. Reassure your partner that toys are an addition, not a substitution. Sometimes simply explaining that many happy couples use toys together can normalize the idea.
