If you’re looking to up your partnered pleasure and take your sex life to the next level, consider a couples’ sex toy that can be used during lovemaking. Here we’ve rounded up our faves to make your search even simpler.
PAIRING PLEASURES: THE BEST SEX TOYS FOR COUPLES
Pleasure gets better when it’s shared, right? Sure, solo sessions with your favorite sex toy is a blast, but when you combine that with a partner, it’s pure sensual bliss.
One not-so well-kept secret of the sex toy industry is that virtually any sex toy can be used during couples’ play. A simple vibrator takes on a whole new dimension when you throw it into the mix, handing it to your partner and having them learn to please you with it. However whereas a traditional sex toy can add a tantalizing new dimension to lovemaking, there exist some toys — designed specifically to be used during sex — that go beyond and totally enhance the experience for both partners.
These toys don’t tend to look or operate like the sex toys you’ve likely got in mind. They’re usually designed to be worn during sex, intended specifically for the female or male partner to wear. To go about choosing the best one for you, first please consider your own anatomy and what you think or know would feel comfortable.
Another thing you’ll notice about couples’ toys is that the majority of them feature remote controls of some kind. This might be in the form of an actual remote that is included with the toy, or the ability to connect to an app that you’ll have to download on your phone. The logic being that while wearing the toy or in the middle of making love, you won’t need to fumble with or remove the couples’ toy to adjust vibration settings.
YOUR NEW FAVORITE COUPLES’ TOYS
CHORUS by We-Vibe
The absolute top-of-the-line couples’ toy out there is CHORUS, by We-Vibe. As a company, We-Vibe was the first to design and sell these unique, U-shaped couples’ toys, sparking many imitators and essentially creating a whole new category of sex toys. In fact, it’s in their name: ‘We Vibe’.
As for the CHORUS, it’s the best of the best with extra-strong vibration power that throbs against the wearer’s clitoris and G-spot simultaneously, as well as very responsive remote controls that ensure you won’t miss a beat during your shared sensual session. When we say top-of-the-line however, that means you’re paying for it: with the extra vibration strength, squeeze remote and special touch-activated controls on the toy itself, you’re looking at a nearly 200 dollar price tag.

W-50 by We-Vibe
Thankfully, We-Vibe also offers the perfect beginner-level couples’ vibrator at a very reasonable price point, for those just starting out with toys of this type. The W-50 is a straightforward couples’ toy in that you put it on, turn it on, and get down to your frisky business. Like the CHORUS, it features dual clitoral and G-spot stimulation from two vibrating motors, however doesn’t have the added benefit of a remote control or touch responsiveness. By not having these additional add-ons, it’s actually all the better for it as a couples’ toy for first-timers.

PIVOT by We-Vibe
Not content to simply make couples’ toys to be worn in and on the vagina during lovemaking, We-Vibe also makes rings designed for the man to wear around the base of his penis. The PIVOT ring is made from soft, stretchy silicone that actually makes his erection appear fuller and feel harder, but that’s not all. Vibrations from a rumbly little motor inside of the ring reverberate throughout his penis and come into contact with the clitoris, providing even greater pleasures for both partners.

TIANI 3 by LELO
When luxury sex toy company LELO decided to start making wearable couples’ sex toys, they came into the game with the style and quality that the brand has staked its fame on. A great example of this is the Tiani 3, an ultra-powerful remote-controlled wearable sex toy that buzzes against the clitoris while a male partner has enough room to enter. Tiani 3 is made with a silky-smooth silicone and comes with a 3-button remote control that allows for easy adjustments in the heat of the moment. Please note though that Tiani 3 only vibrates against the clitoris and doesn’t include a second motor for targeted G-spot stimulation. So if you want all-encompassing pleasure, look elsewhere.

IDA by LELO
For something completely different, there’s the IDA by LELO: like the other couples’ sex toys designed to be worn by women on this list, it provides simultaneous internal G-spot and external clitoral stimulation. But there’s a twist — literally. You see, the internal arm of the IDA moves rotationally to apply additional pressure to the G-spot. If you extend your index finger and move the tip around and around; that’s the type of motion it performs. While some users absolutely love it, keep in mind that it’s not for everyone and that you should do some research before spending about 170 dollars on it.
