In the grand old year of 2026, we’re finally on track to be able to publicly name the issues we can have in our sex lives.
And while there are a plethora of personal issues you might bring into sex with you, if there’s one shared one that unites every couple, it’s how to keep your sex life alive in a long-term relationship.
Ladies, gents, and enbies, I have the answer: sex toys. Some couples might flirt with the idea of a threesome, but I think there’s nothing better than a pleasure pal to bring into the bedroom when you’re stuck for inspo.
And you’re in luck, because there has never been a more fruitful time for bedmates than today.
Whether you want a sex toy to help with longer erections, or to make sure you’re always having a clitoral orgasm, or simply want something fun and new to explore with your loved one, there is something for everyone.
Keep reading for our round up of the best, and an expert’s advice into how to find the best couples’ sex toy for you, how to use them, and everything else you might need to know.
Best couples’ sex toys at a glance:
What are the benefits of using sex toys with a partner?
If you’re not convinced about forming a trio with tech, there are actually plenty of benefits that could come from using a sex toy with your partner, Eichhorn explains. These include:
- Bringing new sensations into shared play;
- Close the pleasure gap many heterosexual couples experience (around eight in 10 people with vulvas require clitoral stimulation to orgasm, and straight men are unfortunately still coming more frequently than straight women);
- Allowing for simultaneous stimulation of multiple erogenous zones – because your partner can only do so much at one time;
- Freeing up hands for touch and connection;
- Opening the door to honest conversations about needs and desires (there’s pleasure in the debrief)
- Building greater intimacy and connection between partners.
What are the different types of sex toys for couples?
If you’re completely new to the world of couples’ sex toys, you might not be sure what your options are.
Although there are sex toys specifically designed for couples, the most important thing to consider when buying a couples’ sex toy is what works for you, according to head of sex education at Satisfyer, Melanie Eichhorn.
“Choosing a toy for two is less about finding ‘the best one’ and more about finding the right fit for your bodies and your dynamic as a couple,” she says.
“Whatever your combination of anatomy, there’s an incredible variety of couples’ toys out there – designed with straight, gay and lesbian couples equally in mind – so there’s no single ‘right’ choice, only the one that suits you.”
However, there are a variety of sex toys you might want to turn to for inspiration, Eichhorn notes, including:
- C-shaped vibrators: “One end is inserted into the vagina while the other rests against the clitoris, so both partners feel the vibration during penetrative sex,” Eichhorn says.
- Vibrating penis rings: “Worn at the base of the penis, they restrict blood flow just enough to support firmer, longer-lasting erections. Vibrating versions can also stimulate the vulva at the same time.”
- Strap-on harnesses with dildos: “Any dildo with a flared base pairs with most harnesses, opening up penetration without a penis and leaving hands free.”
- Wand massagers: “Brilliant for full-body massage as well as focused vulva and clitoral stimulation.”
- Double dildos: “Smooth on both ends so partners can use it together at the same time.”
- Butt plugs or anal beads: Can be worn inside the anus during penetration or oral sex – or by itself – to stimulate your prostate or G-spot (which can be felt from your asshole, FYI).
But this is by no means a comprehensive list. “Really, any toy can become a couple’s toy,” Eichhorn notes. “A classic air-pulse vibrator or a solo masturbator can just as easily be explored together, used during penetration, or enjoyed side by side during mutual masturbation.”
21 of the best couples’ sex toys to shop in 2026
Best vibrating egg
If you’re not familiar with Coco de Mer, you need to get on your A game. Everything the London-based brand makes screams absolute luxury, and that’s no different for this vibrating egg vibrator.
Not only does it come in the sleekest vegan leather storage case you’ve ever seen, but the remote control doubles as a clit or nipple vibrator, so you can have the egg against your G-spot while your partner uses the remote however they so choose.
+ The travel case elicited a gasp from me and my gf
+ Versatile as the remote doubles as a vibrator
– On the more expensive side, but worth it for what you get.
Type: Vibrating remote-control egg in a luxury vegan leather storage case
Best for: Lesbian couple, partner with a vulva
Features: 10 vibration modes in the egg and the remote
Material: Silicone
Power: Rechargeable

Best remote controlled prostate massager
If there’s one thing I wish people with penises would embrace more, it’s the power of the prostate. If you or your partner isn’t quite there with full-on anal penetration, toys could be a great way to start.
This one from LELO is as premium as they come, as it’s designed for prostate and perineum stimulation. Whether you’re controlling it yourself or handing over the fate of your pleasure to your partner, you can increase through its six intensities with the remote control that operates at the flick of a wrist. Chic.
+ Premium silicone
+ Covers two erogenous zones for the price of one
– Quite spenny (but worth it; promise).
Type: Remote-controlled prostate massager
Best for: Someone with a penis
Features: 6 vibration modes
Material: Silicone, ABS plastic
Power: Rechargeable
Waterproof: Yes.
Best for long-distance couples
The fun doesn’t have to stop when you’re not together anymore. Thankfully, technology has evolved enough that we can have fun together, no matter where we are in the world.
Just look at this G-spot vibrator, which can be controlled via the Lovense app for endless hours of enjoyment. The app has tons of fun features, including the ability to sync other toys from Lovense with it, and you can even customise the vibration patterns to move in time with your favourite music.
+ Battery lasts for over five hours
+ Speedy charging
+ Endless vibration modes via the app
– Everyone loves the Lovense Lush 4, but I think it’s too big and prefer this one. If you like a girthier size you might prefer the OG.
Type: App-controlled G-spot vibrator
Best for: Long-distance couples, partners with a clit
Features: 10 built-in vibration modes, endless modes and interactive features via the app (truly, you’ll need months to explore all of them so you’ll never get bored)
Material: Silicone
Power: Rechargeable
Waterproof: Yes.
Best for staying in tune
Remote-controlled sex toys are great, to be fair, but I often wonder if the ‘controlling’ partner really knows what’s going on for their partner.
Obviously, Lovehoney has the answers to all my questions (that’s why it has my name in it) so it’s created this C-shaped toy that comes with a haptic squeeze remote, that vibrates at the same intensity as the toy so you can tell what’s going on down there.
Meanwhile, the toy itself stimulates the G- and C-spot, so you’ll reach a blissful blended orgasm in no time.
+ Uses We-Vibe’s rumbly vibrations
+ Can be controlled from anywhere in the world via the We-Vibe app, too
– I wish the remote was better designed to also be a sex toy in its own right.
Type: Remote and app-controlled C-shaped toy for C-spot and G-spot stimulation
Best for: Long-distance relationships, or improving intimacy when you’re together
Features: 10 intensity levels, 7 vibration patterns, and 3 Fusion Wave Patterns
Material: Silicone
Power: Rechargeable
Waterproof: Yes.
Best for straight couples
There are so many distractions in this world that it can be hard to find time to connect with your partner. If you’re looking for an excuse, this sex toy set will have you coming together (literally) in no time.
One part is a stretchy cock ring, and the other is a clit vibrator, which intensifies in speed the closer the cock ring gets to it. If that’s not your cup of tea, you can change the setting so that the vibrator intensifies as the cock ring moves faster, or even make it responsive to sound. We’ll leave you to figure that one out for yourself.
+ A fun way to improve intimacy
+ Can buy a harness or finger clutch so you don’t have to hold the clit vibrator
+ Charge lasts up to 5 hours
+ App-controllable
– Takes a while to figure out the different modes.
Type: App-controlled cock ring and clit vibrator set
Best for: Couples who need a little helping hand in the bedroom department
Features: Vibrates more intensely when the cock ring moves closer to the clit vibe, or when the cock ring moves faster, or responds to sound. App-controllable.
Material: Silicone
Power: Rechargeable
Waterproof: Yes.
Best strap-on kit
Who would’ve thunk strap ons aren’t just for lesbians? Honestly, they’re for anyone who doesn’t have a dong, or anyone who does, but if you’re interested in penetrating your partner for the first time, a strap on kit will be your giver guide.
This one from Ann Summers come set with everyone you could ever need: an adjustable harness, and your choice of two dildos, depending on whether you’re penetrating vaginally or anally.
Plus, it also comes with three O-rings, so you can switch them out for your favourite one at home, or even buy a new one when you get more confident.

+ Easy to change dildos

Best vibrating cock ring overall
Trying to level up your man’s member? No offence to your man, but this cock ring will turn it into a vibrator.
It’s super stretchy, so it’ll fit a variety of girths, and has a selection of 12 vibration modes to choose from so you’re guaranteed to reach O town in no time.
+ Rumbly vibrations, rather than buzzy
+ Plenty stretchy, so it won’t leave their penis numb
– We suspect the clit owner in your relationship will have a hard time lasting with this one.
Type: Vibrating cock ring
Best for: Partner with a penis
Features: 5 vibration speeds and 7 patterns
Material: Silicone
Power: Rechargeable
Waterproof: Yes.
Best for new parents
With a little one at home, it can be tricky to find your way back to intimacy with your partner (or even with yourself). Not only do you have a new human to think about, but your body is likely going to feel different for a while (the fourth trimester lasts for two years!).
For a gentle ease back into pleasure, this lipstick-shaped bullet vibrator is whisper-quiet, so as to not disturb anyone, and it also delivers fives modes of gentle vibrations to your C-spot and nipples, which is great if you’re worried about painful postpartum sex.
+ The shape makes for an interesting range of sensations
+ Silicone is super smooth and buttery
– Not the most powerful, which might not be enough as you build up.
Type: Silent bullet vibrator
Best for: Partner with a vulva, birthing parent
Features: 3 vibration speeds and 2 patterns
Material: Silicone
Power: Rechargeable
Waterproof: Yes.
Best male masturbator
Sex toys aren’t just for people with vulvas! This toy from Hot Octopuss wraps around your schlong to make every sensation heightened.
Use it while you’re penetrating your partner (thanks to its handy curved base) or for some solo play, and that wrist-shaped remote will give your lover total operation over your Os so you can go totally hands-free.
+ Doesn’t have an end, so you can stroke it or leave it in one place

Best for: Couples with someone with a penis
Features: 7 vibration modes, 3 speeds
Material: Silicone, ABS plastic
Power: Rechargeable
Waterproof: Yes.
Best remote-controlled panty vibrator
Exhibitionists, listen up! You didn’t hear this from me, but you can actually get your thrills secretly when you’re on a date – all you need is a remote control vibrator like the Dame Lay, and a partner who’s up for some fun.
Created by a sexologist and an engineer, Dame toys are all designed with women’s pleasure in mind. And they’ve got it down: this panty vibrator is loaded with 10 different vibration modes, which is just enough to take your daily walking from boring to O-ing.

Best double ended dildo
Whether you want to be face to face or end to end (because who wants to look at each other all the time?) LELO’s Boomerang toy opens up a whole new world of pleasure possibilities.
As well as being one of the most beautiful double-ended dildos I’ve ever seen, it’s ultra bendy, and has endless vibration combinations that can be controlled separately for each end via the app.
+ Plenty of ways to play, so each partner gets what they want
+ Bendy so you can get it in just the right spot
+ Charge lasts up to 2 hours
– You’ve gotta figure out the right positioning for this one.

Most versatile couples’ toy
Toys are supposed to be fun, so you want something that’s going to bring out your creativity! Well, this toy from Satisfyer is just the thing, because there are 29 different ways to play with it.
Whether you’re going for vaginal or anal penetration, or even enjoying a spot of oral, you can use this however you feel like. Think: double penetration, as a cock ring, clit stimulator, nipple toy, or even a G-spot wand. Your move, player.
+ Looks like a DIY tool, so no one will ever suspect what it really does
+ You decide how you want to play
– Not as straightforward as, say, a bullet vibe.

Features: 10 vibration speeds in both ends, for 100 possible combinations
Material: Silicone, ABS plastic

Best clit vibrator kit
Some days you want internal penetration; others you want external. You shouldn’t have to choose! Luckily for you, this kit comes with two options: a vibrating egg toy, which can sit inside you while you’re getting head, and a panty vibrator for clit vibration on the go.
Both can be controlled via the We-Vibe app, so you can hand over control of your pleasure to your willing partner, or if you’re a lesbian couple, you can take control of each others’ for double the fun.
+ Ideal if you both have vulvas
+ Can wear the panty vibrator out and about as it’s not too loud
– The egg is quite big, so probably not for everyone.
Type: Kit with an app-controlled vibrating love egg and a wearable knicker vibrator
Best for: Lesbian couples or a vulva owner who wants options
Features: 10 vibration modes in each toy
Material: Silicone
Power: Rechargeable
Waterproof: Submersible.
Best for backdoor beginners
Everyone wants to try anal these days, but did you know you can’t just jump into it out of nowhere? In fact, it can take four to six weeks to stretch your anal muscle out for healthy and safe anal penetration.
When you’ve experimented with sticking a finger or two up there, it might be time to graduate on to a slimline butt plug like this one from Smile Makers Collection, which is small enough for beginners and has a flared base, which means you’ll avoid any awkward trips to the hospital.
+ Small and sweet, so it’s not intimidating for beginners
+ Gentle buzzy vibrations, so it doesn’t get numb up there
– Might not be strong enough for anal aficionados.
Type: Vibrating butt plug
Best for: Couples new to anal sex
Features: 3 vibration speeds and 2 pulsation modes
Material: Silicone
Power: Rechargeable
Waterproof: Yes.
Best for longer lasting erections
In recent years, there’s been an explosion in the number of people with penises who experience erectile dysfunction. Not only can that be frustrating for you, but also for your partner.
But there’s no shame in acknowledging it, and MYHIXEL has even created a device that’s scientifically proven to enhance your erection over time. So shaped to trap blood flow to your penis, it’s ergonomically designed to prolong your erection so you can keep having a good time, for longer.
+ Won’t damage your urethra over time
+ Comes in a pack of three so you can choose the firmness you need
– Not the most exciting toy on the list, but maybe the most necessary.
Type: Medical cock ring
Best for: People with penises
Features: Different intensities so you can train your erection and experience better orgasms
Material: Silicone
Power: None
Waterproof: Not clear but I don’t see why not.
Best strapless strap-on
I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of toys that only serve one person. If you’re playing with two vulvas, there’s no reason you can’t both have fun at the same time.
With a strapless strap on like this one from Happy Rabbit that can happen, as the wearer and receiver will both get the benefits of its vibration modes – and the wearer will even get clit stimulation, too.
+ Everyone gets in on the action
+ Easy to wear, unlike a harness, which can be fiddly
– The wearer will need to do some kegels, as things can get quite slippery.
Type: Strapless strap-on
Best for: Lesbian lovers
Features: 12 vibration modes in the shaft, 3 in the clit ‘ear’s and 3 in the pony
Material: Silicone
Power: Rechargeable
Waterproof: Submersible.
Best sex pillow
Remember a few years ago when the speed bump position went viral? This pillow would’ve come in real handy if you realised that was a one way ticket to laundry city.
This wedge is designed specifically for sex and, while it’s admittedly quite bulky to store when it’s not (ahem) in use, it does mean you can get deeper into positions than if you’re just lying flat on the bed. Plus, you can remove the cover to wash it.
+ Machine washable cover
+ Great for those with tight hips or mobility issues
– Quite big and tricky to store
Type: Sex pillow
Best for: Oral, doggy, missionary (any position!)
Features: Adds some height to your position so you can penetrate deeper
Material: Polyester / Microfiber Velvet / High Density PU Foam
Power: N/A
Waterproof: Moisture-resistant.
Best finger vibrator
When you’re trying to get intimate with your lover, you don’t always want to have a huge sex toy in the way. For clit stimulation without the intrusion, finger vibrators can deliver just as much power in a small, but mighty, package.
This one from Svakom not only comes with 10 built-in settings to choose from (as well as 11 more via the app) but also heats up to 38 degrees to introduce a new kind of stimulation into the mix.
+ Easy to hold, thanks to those handy finger straps
+ Doesn’t get in the way
– Heating technology might not be for everyone.
Type: Heated finger vibrator
Best for: Clit stimulation during penetration
Features: 5 vibration patterns and 5 intensities; 11 extra via the Svakom app, heats to 38 degrees
Material: Silicone
Power: Rechargeable
Waterproof: Yes.
Best butt plug for rimming
Sometimes you want to introduce a new sensation into sex, and if you’ve already conquered anal, there’s not much more you can do.
At least, not until you try this rimming buttplug, which contains rotating beads along the base so it’ll feel exactly like your partner is tossing your salad, all without them having to do it.
+ Vibrates and rotates, for extra sensations during sex
+ Remote works up to 30 feet away
+ Quiet and discreet because it comes in a travel case
– Might be too big and intense for beginners.
Type: Rotating and vibrating butt plug
Best for: Trying new things
Features: 7 rotation and vibration patterns with 6 intensity levels
Material: Silicone
Power: Rechargeable
Waterproof: Splashproof.
What to consider when buying a couples’ sex toy
Now that I’ve thrown tons of info at you about couples’ sex toys, you might be feeling a little overwhelmed. Bear in mind, these are the toys I’ve tried and tested, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be right for you!
In fact, I encourage you to go off piste and find a toy you think you and your partner will enjoy.
There are various factors to consider if you’re going to do that, Eichhorn notes, such as:
- Communication: “Check in with your partner first,” she suggests. Ask what you want from a toy, and if you want to use it together or separately.
- Materials and body-safe: “Look for body-safe, non-porous materials like medical-grade silicone or stainless steel, and check they’re free from phthalates,” says Eichhorn. “This matters even more for toys used internally or shared between partners.”
- Intensity: “Couples don’t always want the same thing at the same time, so toys with multiple vibration or Air Pulse Technology settings let both partners find their ideal intensity, rather than compromising on one fixed level.”
- Price: “Higher price doesn’t always mean better performance, but very cheap toys often cut corners on materials or motor quality,” Eichhorn notes.
- Added features: “It’s worth considering waterproof designs for shower play, app or remote connectivity for long-distance couples, and easy-to-clean surfaces all make a toy easier to fit into everyday intimacy.”
What are the current couples’ sex toy trends?
There is so much going on in the sex tech industry, which is set to double by 2050. If you’ve tried all the basic couples’ sex toys, and want to try something new and zeitgeisty, there are a few trends to pay attention to.
Eichhorn points to app-controlled toys as one of the main and ongoing sex toy trends, while wearable sex toys are also popular. This could include panty vibrators, or finger vibrators.
There are also more toys focused on both partners’ pleasure, she says. “Rather than treating couples’ toys as an add-on to penetrative sex, newer designs focus on stimulating both partners at once – C-shaped vibrators that reach the clitoris, G-spot and penis together, or Air Pulse Technology built directly into couples’ vibrators, so neither partner has to wait their turn to feel good.”
How do you use couples’ sex toys?
Now that you’ve got your new sexy assistant, you might be wondering how to actually use it. Don’t worry, we’ve got you.
No pressure
While it’s a good idea to have fun with it and experiment, there are a few things to keep in mind when bringing a sex toy into the bedroom.
“Be patient, and don’t put pressure on yourselves,” says Eichhorn. “Pressure is the number one lust killer. Expecting an instant orgasm the moment you introduce a new toy tends to backfire, making an orgasm less likely rather than more – arousal thrives on relaxation, not performance goals.”
Exploration is king
That means you don’t need to turn your vibrator up to the highest setting from the get go, start low and slow and see where it takes you. There’s no rush!
Talking to your partner about your expectations is also a good idea – consent is key, after all.
Talk it out
“However much we wish otherwise, our partners can’t read our minds,” Eichhorn explains. “Open communication is essential to avoid misunderstandings, especially around intimacy – let your partner know what you’d like to try, and why it excites you.
“It also helps to check in during and after: what felt good, what didn’t, and what you’d like to explore next time. This kind of ongoing feedback turns a single try into an evolving, shared experience rather than a one-off experiment.”
