Best Sex Toys for Couples: How to Choose Toys You'll Both Love

The best sex toys for couples share one quality: both partners want them in the bedroom.

Some couples sex toys are built for two bodies at once, like a wearable couples vibrator. Others are solo favourites that become partner play the moment you hand over the remote. This guide from Eros, Quebec's largest network of erotic boutiques, walks through the main categories of sex toys for couples and how to pick materials that last. No shame, no judgment. Your pleasure, your rules.

Here's how the main types of couples toys compare:

Why Couples Toys Add Pleasure and Intimacy to the Bedroom

Couples toys add new sensations to a sex life you already enjoy. A toy brings extra vibration, extra hands, or a new kind of touch to the routine you know. Plenty of long-term couples use adult toys, and the stigma is fading fast. The real benefit of a sex toy for couples is mutual pleasure: a vibrator against the clitoris during intercourse closes the orgasm gap that many partners experience with penetration alone.

Toys also open communication. Choosing one together means talking about what feels good, which is half the fun. Intimate moments get easier when orgasms stop being the only goal.

How to Bring Up Sex Toys With Your Partner

Raising sex toys with your partner works best outside the bedroom, in a relaxed moment. Frame the idea as curiosity, never as a fix. "I saw something I think we'd both like" lands better than "something's missing."

Then browse together. Shopping together works well: many couples shop together online on a date night, scrolling a collection from the couch. Others prefer an adult store visit, where an expert can answer questions out loud. Open communication at this stage tells you which pleasure products excite you both and which ones are a hard no.

Choosing a toy together is foreplay. Treat it that way.

Consent, Boundaries and a Slow Start With Foreplay

Consent applies to toys exactly as it applies to sex. Each partner names their boundaries before the toy comes out, and either of you can stop at any moment. Check in with a word or a look.

Start slow. Use the new toy during foreplay first, on erogenous zones like the neck, nipples or inner thighs, before moving to penetrative sex. A low vibration setting on the lowest intensity gives both bodies time to learn the sensations. Beginners often find that external stimulation feels more comfortable than penetration on the first night, and that's a perfectly good place to stay.

The Best Couple's Sex Toy for Every Kind of Play

The best couple's sex toy matches the kind of sex you already have. Some couples want hands-free stimulation during intercourse. Others want to tease each other across a restaurant table, or across a province. Eros carries 85 brands, and the couples sex toys in the Couples & Games collection cover every style below.

A couple's vibrator suits partnered play during sex. A wand or massage wand suits foreplay and solo play, and partners can trade it back and forth. Check battery life before you buy: a USB-rechargeable toy that lasts a full session beats one that dies halfway.

The Couples Vibrator: We-Vibe and Hands-Free Wearables

We-Vibe builds the most recognised couples vibrator design: a flexible C-shape worn inside the vagina during penetrative sex. One arm presses the G-spot while the outer arm rests on the clitoris, so the wearer gets internal and external stimulation and the penetrating partner feels the vibration too. That dual stimulation is why We-Vibe couples vibrators top so many lists of the best couples sex toys.

Other wearable vibrator styles work well too. Vibrating panties hold a small bullet vibrator against the vulva while your partner holds the remote. A finger vibrator turns any hand into a toy during foreplay.

A suction toy from Womanizer or Satisfyer uses air-pulse technology for clitoral stimulation while your partner focuses elsewhere. Most of these are rechargeable, waterproof and quiet enough for an apartment with thin walls.

Cock Rings and Penis Toys That Please Both of You

A cock ring sits at the base of the penis and gently slows blood flow, which can make erections firmer and last longer. Give it a motor and it becomes a love ring for two: vibrating cock rings place a bullet right where it meets the clitoris during intercourse. LELO makes rechargeable rings in soft silicone that stretch comfortably.

Penis toys also include the stroker and the masturbator. A Tenga stroker gives a partner a new way to use their hands during foreplay or oral sex. Try it once. Cock rings also fit over a strap-on dildo, so they work for every couple and every body.

Remote Control, Bluetooth and App-Controlled Toys for Long-Distance Love

Remote control toys hand the power to your partner. A small key-fob remote works within a few metres. Bluetooth and an app go further. App-controlled vibrators connect over the internet, which makes them a lifeline for couples in a long-distance relationship. Setup takes minutes.

Here's how a first long-distance session usually goes:

1. Both partners download the brand's app and pair the toy over Bluetooth.
2. The wearer sends an invitation, and the remote partner accepts it.
3. The remote partner sets vibration patterns and intensity, often over a video call.
4. Either partner can end the session instantly from their phone.

Beyond Vibrators: Adventurous Couples Play

Vibrators are where most couples start. Couples play goes much further, and the next three ideas suit partners who want to explore power, sensation or a little silliness. Each one works with a small budget and zero experience. Pipedream and other brands sell adult toys for couples as starter kits, so you can try several sensations before committing. A positioning wedge also helps: it changes angles and makes penetration more comfortable.

Beginner BDSM: A Blindfold, Soft Restraints and a Safeword

BDSM for beginners starts with sensory play, not dungeon furniture. A blindfold heightens every touch because the brain can't anticipate it. Plush handcuffs or beginner-friendly cuffs and restraints let one partner enjoy giving up control with no real risk.

Before you start, agree on a safeword: a word that stops everything, instantly, no questions asked. "Red" works. Light impact play with a riding crop or open-hand spanking can come later, once dominance and submission feels like a game you both understand. Nipple clamps with adjustable pressure are another gentle step into sensation play.

Anal Toys, Pegging and the Strap-On Harness

Every body has nerve-rich anal tissue, so anal toys are some of the most inclusive sex toys for couples. A small butt plug worn during intercourse creates a full feeling for the wearer and extra pressure for the partner. Explore anal toys for every body, from slim beginner butt plugs to vibrating models that reach the P-spot.

Pegging uses a strap-on dildo held in a harness, worn by one partner to penetrate the other. Choose a harness with adjustable straps. Silicone dildos with a flared base are the safe choice. Anal play always needs plenty of lubricant, since the body doesn't make its own.

A Massage Candle, Edible Body Paint and Couples Games

Not every couples toy vibrates. A massage candle melts into warm massage oil you can pour straight onto skin, which turns a sensual massage into slow, playful foreplay. Our massage candles and oils, including Shunga's range, are a lovely first purchase for nervous beginners.

Edible body paint and flavoured lube make oral sex sweeter, literally. Then there are couples games: sex dice, a dare board game or a card deck can spice up a Tuesday with zero pressure. No skill required. A couples kit or sex toy kit bundles several of these together and makes a great Valentine's Day gift.

How to Choose Body-Safe Pleasure Products

Body-safe pleasure products are made from non-porous materials that you can clean completely. Porous toys made of jelly or cheap PVC can trap bacteria and may contain phthalates, the softening chemicals many shoppers now avoid. Skip them. Price matters less than material: a well-made silicone bullet vibrator outlasts three cheap ones. Sexual wellness starts with what touches your skin, so read the label before the reviews.

Medical-Grade Silicone, Borosilicate Glass and Stainless Steel

Medical-grade silicone is the gold standard for body-safe sex toys. It's non-porous, phthalate-free, soft and warm to the touch. Borosilicate glass and stainless steel are also non-porous, hold temperature for hot-and-cold play, and are heavy enough for satisfying pressure on the G-spot or prostate.

Cleaning keeps every material safe:

• Wash after every use with warm water and a mild soap or a dedicated sex toy cleaner.
• Disinfect glass and steel toys by boiling; never boil a toy with a motor.
• Store each toy separately so silicone surfaces don't touch.

Our toy cleaner and care accessories make this a 30-second job. Share a toy with a new partner? Cover it with a condom to reduce STI risk.

Water-Based Lube, Silicone Lube or Hybrid Lube?

Lube makes every toy feel better and reduces friction during penetration. Water-based lube works with every material, cleans up easily and is safe with condoms, which is why we recommend water-based lubricants as the default.

Silicone lube lasts longer and stays slippery in the shower, but it can damage silicone toys, so save it for glass, steel or plain intercourse. Hybrid lube blends both bases: silky like silicone, gentle like water-based. Test any new lubricant on a small spot of your toy first.
