Options run the gamut from insertable vibrators and clitoral stimulators—like the Ida Wave couples’ vibrator ($199; $119) and the Womanizer stimulator ($129)—to penis rings and whisper-quiet options (in case you have roomies).

Best Couples' Sex Toy Overall

1. Lelo Tor 3 Couples' Ring

What I Like

  • silky material
  • eight vibration settings

What I Don’t Like

  • toggle settings can be hard to manipulate

Lelo

This smooth, body-safe silicone ring fits over the penis, and has eight speeds that range from a faint murmur to a strong pulse. It's meant to give pleasure to both partners, since the vibrating part stimulates the wearer and the person they're playing with. As PureWow contributor Destinee Scott shared in a review, "it goes on comfortably and expands if needed, so both parties will be satisfied." Oh, and it's waterproof and rechargeable for endless fun.

Fast Facts

  • Battery life: 120 minutes

2. Womanizer OG Pleasure Air G-Spot Stimulator

What I Like

  • internal and external stimulation
  • afterglow setting

What I Don't Like

  • tends toward gentle stimulations

Womanizer

If you're someone who gets pleasure from both internal and external stimulation, this vibrator is for you. Use it in the bedroom with your partner to increase your climax and thank us later. Here's how it works: One end of the slender 9.6-inch vibrator has the controls, while the other has a rounded tip with an air stimulation center, which can be held against your clitoris or G-spot. Twelve intensity levels of air stimulation, plus three speeds of vibration, means there's a lot of potential for experimentation with this streamlined device. And bonus—by pressing the minus button after you climax, the vibrator ratchets down to its lowest hum, aka the "afterglow" setting. It was a late 2022 addition to the Womanizer brand lineup, but its innovation quickly racked up rave reviews: "Ladies, buy this for yourself. You will not regret it," says one reviewer. "Gents, buy this and use it on your lady. You will not regret it."

  • D-rings allow multiple configurations

What I Don’t Like

  • too big for single beds

Inspired by the Fifty Shades of Grey books, it features both ankle and wrist cuffs to lock one partner into a variety of positions.

Lelo

These beads are can be controlled by a remote up to 39 feet away, rotating and vibrating for major (portable) pleasure. Lelo claims these beads will offer a thrilling hands-free experience that "turns your whole body into a sensual dance floor." Take it from this happy reviewer: "I bought this product for my wife about a month ago," the reviewer writes. "It’s well-built, easy to use and great for couples' play.

  • long-distance app control capabilities
  • fully customizable pulse sequences
  • velvet-soft silicone

What I Don’t Like

  • battery can deplete quickly depending on use

Satisfyer

Don't let distance get in the way of romance. PureWow Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida tested out this bad boy with her long-distance BF. "All we had to do was download the Satisfyer app and each create a free account in order to connect. He was then able to control the intensity and pulse pattern from his fingertips, 3,000 miles away." There's even a chat option in the app, so couples can exchange sexy messages in the middle of the action. Beyond long-distance app abilities, the Satisfyer Pro 2 stands out for its Liquid Air technology, meant to simulate a "sensual surge of pulsing water." Maida adds that the Liquid Air cap "feels so soft and smooth—almost like velvet." There's an endless array of sequences to choose from, but you can customize your own vibrations via the app. Cooler yet? You can even sync the toy to a playlist, so it pulses along with the music.

  • unique rotation sensation

What I Don’t Like

  • targeted energy might be too pinpointed for some users

Zumio X

"I am no stranger to high-end toys, but the Zumio X is an absolute game-changer—solo and especially with a partner," writes one user, who describes having intensified orgasms with it. This slender device uses rotation instead of the vibration that most handheld toys offer, resulting in more pinpointed stimulation. Essentially, a small spinning head massages the clitoris (or any other sensitive areas on the bod) to amp up arousal, and with eight speeds to choose from, you (and your boo) are in for a world of exploration.

Fast Facts

  • Material: body-safe silicone and ABS plastic
  • Modes: eight
  • Battery life: 120 minutes
  • Type: clitoral stimulator
  • Waterproof: yes
  • App compatibility: no
  • How to charge: USB cord and charging base

What We Like

  • double-ended massager stimulates both users at once
  • stimulates nipples also

What We Don’t Like

  • shaft or arms not bendable

Tracy's Dog

This swirly silicone vibrator gets high marks for versatility since its dual stimulation design and multiple settings make it adaptable to practically any erogenous zone. As one user explains, "It is powerful and QUIET. The ten modes it has, every single one feels amazing. I love the shape for the G-spot. It [provides] amazing orgasms. The toy is so silky soft and easy to clean. Did I mention that it's waterproof? More fun for in the shower. " Need you hear more?

Most Discreet Couples' Sex Toy

What I Like

  • elegant, wearable design
  • very quiet

What I Don’t Like

  • profile might be too slim for some people

Crave

No one's ever complained about getting jewelry for Valentine's Day (or any other special occasion), and this necklace is guaranteed to please—in more ways than one. The sleek, stainless-steel construction makes it seem like a regular piece of bling, but that pendant is actually a teeny, portable vibrator. It has a rounded tip for external stimulation, and really is as quiet as it claims to be, per testers. Slip it around your neck as a form of subtle foreplay while you and your boo are out to dinner—or wear it at home to let your partner know exactly what time it is.

Fast Facts

  • Material: stainless steel
  • Modes: four
  • Battery life: 40 minutes
  • Type: vibrator
  • Waterproof: no
  • App compatibility: no

  • adjustable fit
  • ten intensity levels

What I Don’t Like

  • might be too subtle for some users

We-Vibe

This little device can be "clipped" into a vagina during intercourse for some dual stimulation, delivering both clitoral and G-spot vibrations that a penetrating partner can also feel. Totally waterproof, this is a great toy to keep in the shower or bath. What’s more, there’s a remote and app that allow your partner to control the vibration modes and intensity levels from afar (even long distances, in the app's case), making it a cheeky way to spice up your foreplay. “Having control of her from a distance was a huge turn-on,” says one reviewer.

Fast Facts

  • Material: body-safe silicone
  • Modes: ten
  • Battery life: 120 minutes
  • Type: clip-on vibrator
  • Waterproof: yes
  • App compatibility: yes
  • How to charge: USB cord
  • How to use: insert for dual stimulation of the G-spot and clitoris, control from remote control or app

Best Hands-Free Couples' Sex Toy

10. Dame Eva Wearable Vibrator

What I Like

  • wearable design
  • small size

What I Don’t Like

  • vibration strength might not be intense enough for some users without hand pressure

Dame

The Eva is perfect for clitoral arousal during penetrative sex, and according to PureWow contributor Stephanie Meraz, who put it to the test for an in-depth PureWow100 review, it’s a great way to spice things up in the bedroom. "I didn’t have to do much to experience the full benefits of the Eva. In just a few minutes of maneuvering, I figured out where the device sits best for maximum clitoris stimulation and which speed I prefer," she says. It features a wearable, hands-free design (the two wings can be tucked under the labia to stay in place), so you two can use those hands for...other stuff. Or, if you prefer, your partner can keep it still using only one finger.

Fast Facts

  • Material: medical grade silicone
  • Modes: three
  • Battery life: 60 minutes on high speed
  • Type: wearable vibrator
  • Waterproof: yes
  • App compatibility: no

What I Like

  • jeweled base
  • three sizes
  • smooth silione

What I Don’t Like

  • need to use silicone- and anal-safe lube

Lovehoney

Anal play can be the third rail in relationships, but this sparkly set of butt plugs might give you the courage to explore new frontiers. Plus, the three sizes included in this set makes trying it out less intimidating than a one-size-fits-all experience with a single plug. (And if you like it, you could work your way up to the largest.)

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Modes: no modes
  • Battery life: no batteries
  • Type: butt plug
  • Waterproof: submersible
  • App compatibility: no

What I Like

  • small size
  • quiet operation

What I Don’t Like

  • magnet might slip with a lot of movement

We-Vibe

Sex educator Kiana Reeves says "discreet toys that can be worn underneath your clothing are on the rise." Case in point: the We-Vibe Moxie clitoral panty vibrator. It's a 3.5-inch toy that fastens to your underwear using a magnetic clip, while a handheld remote (or app) controls the speed and intensity of vibrations from across the room—or world. If you and your boo are into low-key exhibitionism, you can slip this cutie on before heading out the door for a truly arousing night out.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Modes: ten
  • Battery life: 120 minutes
  • Type: wearable vibrator
  • Waterproof: yes

Most Bendable Couples' Sex Toy

13. MysteryVibe Crescendo 2 Vibrator

What I Like

  • clitoris, G-spot and P-spot stimulation
  • customizable shapes

What I Don’t Like

  • 16 intensity settings might be overwhelming to first-time sex toy users

MysteryVibe

This bendable vibrator lets you indulge in a combination of old-school creativity (you and your partner can bend it to whatever shape you want) and new tech gadgetry (there are six motors down the length of it controlled by an app with pre-set motions or your own sequencing). Clitoral, G-spot and perineum stimulation are all included in its bendy bag of tricks (of which there are so many, the makers actually came out with a deck of cards so you can collect all the sensations).

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Modes: 12 preset vibes, 16 intensities, six power modes
  • Battery life: 120 minutes
  • Type: vibrator
  • Waterproof: yes

14. Dominix Deluxe Padded Leather Blindfold

What I Like

  • large size
  • generously padded
  • comfortable and secure

What I Don’t Like

  • non-elastic fastening requires exact fitting

Dominix

Blindfolds are great for building tension and teasing your partner. This lightly padded one is a better option than the many flimsy versions on the market, and it has a buckle that keeps it in position far better than the satiny, slippery ribbons on other masks. "This blindfold does not move one bit. It keeps out all the light, feels comfortable on the wearer, is adjustable, made sturdy," writes one satisfied customer. Gives new meaning to the phrase "no peeking."

Fast Facts

  • Material: leather
  • Modes: no modes
  • Battery life: no batteries
  • Type: blindfold
  • Waterproof: no
  • App compatibility: no
  • How to charge: not needed

What I Like

  • 15-inch length is easy to wield

What I Don’t Like

  • faux leather is less durable than leather

Babeland

Feeling extra naughty? This faux leather whip is on the cuter end of the BDSM accessories spectrum, but will still sting when playfully wielded. Take turns using it on each other during foreplay for a pleasurable tingling sensation and some light discipline and domination play.

Fast Facts

  • Material: faux leather
  • Modes: no modes
  • Battery life: no batteries
  • Type: flogger
  • Waterproof: no
  • App compatibility: no
  • How to charge: not needed
  • How to use: gently apply for tingling sensation or use for spanking

Best Insertable Sex Toy for Couples

16. Lelo Ida Wave Couples' Vibrator

What I Like

  • wearable during intercourse
  • lightweight

What I Don’t Like

  • can slip out

Lelo

Tackle three birds with one stone (and build up to your big O) by using this dual-action vibrator during intercourse. The insertable tail rotates with Lelo's WaveMotion technology, thrilling both partners, while its powerful pulsations provide a little extra stimulation at the clitoris. "Very stylish thing to use and extremely fun to play with," reports one reviewer. While you can cycle through four default pleasure settings using the button on the toy itself, there are a lot more to explore if you connect it to the app and control it from there.

  • Material: body-safe silicone and ABS plastic
  • Modes: four on toy, ten on app
  • Battery life: 120 minutes
  • Type: wearable vibrator
  • Waterproof: yes

Dame

Each partner can take turns slipping this small-but-mighty toy on their finger and using it, well, wherever they’d like. The compact vibrator provides targeted sensations and can be used on five intensity settings during both foreplay and sex. "Wow. My wife loves this. I use it on her. She uses it on her. It's led to intense orgasms. The finger strap takes a little getting used to, but is definitely useful," swoons one buyer. And, BTW, it’s definitely tiny enough to travel with and not cause a scene at the airport.

Fast Facts

  • Material: medical-grade silicone
  • Modes: five
  • Battery life: 60 minutes on highest setting
  • Type: finger vibrator
  • Waterproof: yes
  • App compatibility: no

What I Don’t Like

  • can be difficult to hold in place for certain applications

Satisfyer

If you're going to make an investment in your boudoir toy chest, you might as well get the most bang for your buck (pun slightly intended). This does-it-all wonder will keep you and your partner on your toes—when you're not curling them, that is. See those two tiny buttons? They operate two separate motors (one upper and one lower), with ergonomic arms delivering the exact vibe you want, exactly where you want it. Thanks to its unique shape, it can be used a whopping 14 different ways (or more) by women, men and couples. The possibilities are, as its name suggests, absolutely endless.

What I Like

  • battery-free fun
  • strengthens pelvic floor

What I Don’t Like

  • may be too heavy for new Ben Wa ball users

Fifty Shades of Grey

As Fifty Shades of Grey author E.L. James writes: "I flush from the constant movement of the silver balls. They weigh down inside me, massaging me internally and make me needy, needy for sex." Whew. Each of these Ben Wa balls weighs just under 4 ounces, and as one reviewer reports, "I think these are some of the heavier balls available, which is more of a challenge and more sensational for the wearer." Not only can they be worn as a sexy secret to increase arousal, but as a bonus, they can also help strengthen your pelvic floor.

Fast Facts

  • Material: chrome, steel, silicone retrieval cord
  • Modes: no modes
  • Battery life: no batteries
  • Type: Ben Wa balls
  • Waterproof: no
  • App compatibility: no

It has eight intensity levels and a suction/air-puffing function for clitoral stimulation. "Chic, discreet and very effective," writes one user, who adds that it comes with a little silk bag for discretion. While you'll enjoy using it solo, it's a true treat when using it with a partner.

Best Sex Pillow for Couples

21. Dame Pillo Pillow

What I Like

  • supportive and comfortable
  • surprisingly handy for new positions

What I Don’t Like

  • foam seems heavy

Dame

By day, it's a mild-mannered, wedge-shaped pillow among the collection on your bed. By night, it becomes a soft-yet-supportive tool that cradles you in all sorts of intimate positions. It's 15 inches wide and 18 inches deep, and comes with a removable, washable cover. "[This pillow] has transformed my sex life," one reviewer reports. "This not only allows for the woman to be supported and in the perfect positions, but it takes pressure off the man during oral sex especially. Highly recommend!"

What I Don’t Like

  • settings on device are harder to manipulate than on the app

MysteryVibe

An innovative, medically designed device that is all about upping the ante for all parties involved, Tenuto is meant to be worn around the penis for increased blood flow, extended erection and long-lasting pleasure. You pull the sides of it apart to fit around a shaft, and it vibrates before and during penetration, so scrotum, labia, perineum—they're all getting in on the action.

  • Battery life: 120 minutes
  • Type: wearable vibrator

  • can detach with vigorous movement

Lovehoney

These toys suction the nipples (of any gender) for enhanced sensitivity and arousal while you're getting in the mood. Made of velvety-soft silicone, these suckers also give you a fun reason to leave the lights on—the silicone material changes color as body temperature rises. Is it getting hot in here? Let's check.

Loads of settings to play with and really easy to use." It's 3 inches long and offers three speeds and 17 patterns of vibration, so wearers can go as intense (or gentle) as they please.

What I Like

  • powerful vibration

What I Don’t Like

  • bulky

Le Wand

Remember that episode of Sex and City when Samantha's "neck" massager died at the worst possible moment? Well, I took two lessons from that: Massagers can be actual sex toys, and cordless and rechargeable ones are an absolute must. This one is ideal for couples experiencing sex toys for the first time. It's effortless to use: All you or your partner needs to do is use it on your erogenous zones. Plus, it has a flexible neck and 20 vibration patterns to match your comfort level.

How to Find the Right Couples' Sex Toy for You

"Technically speaking, a couples' sex toy is one that targets both partners together, whether simultaneously or not." says sex educator Reeves. "Take a couples' vibrator, for example—it can be inserted into the vagina during penetration and enhance sensation for the clitoris, G-spot and the penis at the same time. To enhance couples' play even further, I recommend adding Foria Sex Oil with CBD ($36), designed for people with penises and vaginas, into the mix." From goddess pleasure balls to targeted vibrators, all types of toys are available. But truth is, only you and your partner know what's actually best for you, considering each other's comfort levels and limitations. Here are some points to consider when shopping for a couples' sex toy:

  • Function: Are you thinking this is something you'd like to both enjoy simultaneously (such as our top overall toy, the Lelo Tor 2 Couples' Ring) or one that one of you will use while the other person watches? Or are you thinking you'd like a device that can be used all sorts of different ways?
  • Material: Silicone, glass, metal or some combination of these are all on the table—and keep in mind if you'll be wanting a silicone device that's waterproof, in case tub/shower time is an option.
  • Size: From small fingertip add-ons that buzz to large wand massagers, there is a size you'll feel comfortable using. Note to frequent flyers: We highly recommend choosing a device to help you relax into whichever time zone you find yourself in.
  • Ease of Use: Want a simple pair of on-off buttons? Or do you prefer a toy that's app-enabled, and can be controlled remotely? Browse Lelo, We-Vibe and other design-forward makers to familiarize yourself with the latest toy tech, to see if it interests you.
  • Choose the Right Lube: Have a good lube ready to go when your toy arrives, and be sure that your favorite formula is approved for use with whatever toy you've chosen. According to Astroglide, lubes containing silicone are believed to stay slippery longer, but may break down silicone toys over time.

I'm Curious, but Don't Know How to Bring Up Sex Toys with My Partner

You might be surprised at how receptive your partner is to experimenting with a toy—lots of couples are using sex toys to enhance their experience and communication. "We’re starting to see some of the taboo around the topic lifted, which is a wonderful thing," says Reeves. "The pandemic definitely gave us all some extra time to focus inward and think about what we want and what brings us the most pleasure in and out of the bedroom – and now, a lot of the stigma around sharing those thoughts and feelings with a partner has lessened." Sex toy brand We-Vibe conducted a study of 1,000 men and women between the ages of 35 and 55 and found that 49 percent of couples that use vibrators together report communicating often, whether about sex toys or other topics. Added bonus: There's evidence that using toys together increases couples' ease with giving and getting direction from their partner in bed.

Soumyadip Rakshit, founder of British sexual wellness firm MysteryVibe, suggests you "ease partners into the conversation about sex toys by sharing well-researched articles, especially in reputable outlets." Or you can simply say: "I was thinking about trying this toy with you and wanted to know what you thought." Anything that keeps the focus on mutual pleasure and playful curiosity is a great way to introduce toys in general or a specific one.
