There’s obviously something special between you and your boo — and we don't just mean the vibrator. But don't underestimate how much fun sex toys can bring to the bedroom. Even if you're already well equipped with toys, there's no harm upgrading. It's always a good time to add something new and spicy into the mix.

And in this age of sex positivity, there really is something for everyone. It's a golden time for couples' sex toys. If you have an itch, it's pretty much guaranteed that there's a sex toy out there to scratch it. That's quite literally the case when it comes to some of the super-speed vibrators and clitoral massagers.

But don't go in cold. What you need is a guide on sex toys. That's where we come in.

What are the different types of sex toys?

There are a lot of different types of sex toys out there. To get you started, here's a breakdown of the most common types:

  • Bondage gear — Not a bondage kind of person? Why not give it a whirl? Bondage toys are about pushing boundaries and venturing into new territory.

  • Clitoral Massagers — These cheeky devices target the clitoris and usually simulate oral sex with a sucking or blowing sensation, usually achieved by pumping air. 

  • Cock rings — These wrap about the shaft of the penis and restrict blood flow. That helps maintain longer, more robust erections. Which means better sex all round.

  • Dildos and plugs — An old school option. They come in various shapes and sizes, and are simply used to for penetration. Use as a couple or on your own.

  • Masturbators — A masturbation sleeve is a gadget into which a user inserts their penis. It’s designed to simulate the feel of a vagina, mouth, or anus, depending on the model — and depending on your preference, of course. 

  • Prostate Massagers — This might seem obvious, but prostate massagers are sex toys that slip into the anus and massage the prostate. This can result in a whole new experience — not to mention a game-changing orgasm.

  • Vibrator — The classic sex toy. Essentially a dildo that provides some buzz, quite literally. For both external and internal use, vibrators will usually have multiple speed and vibration settings to help her (or him) hit the right spot.

Keep these categories in mind when shopping around for your next sex toy.

Which sex toy is right for you?

For anyone new to the sex toy game, the humble vibrator or a quality cock ring is a great place to start. For couples ready to take things a bit further in the bedroom, remote controlled and app controlled models mean that you can integrate these high-tech gadgets into your love life seamlessly — and do it completely hands free. They can even help close the physical gap for couples in long distance relationships.

What is the best sex toy for couples?

There really is no perfect sex toy for couples, because every couple is different. It's about having an honest conversation with your partner about your needs and desires, and finding something that ticks those boxes. If the answer is still unclear, we're sure you can have some fun finding out what works.

To help, we've searched for the best sex toys to suit every need, whether you're a new couple, in a long-distance relationship, or something in between.

These are the best sex toys for couples in 2025.

The Good & The Bad

  • Easy to use
  • Low-tech pleasure
  • Opens up positions
  • Versatile
  • Bulky
  • Fabric attracts lint

Why We Like It

The Liberator Sex Wedge makes all kinds of new positions possible. The 27-degree angle on this 7-inch tall ramp is great for oral or increasing friction against the G-spot. It’s comfortable, though storage may be an issue given it’s bulky size. This is one sex toy that won’t fit in your bedside table drawer.

The fabric attracts lint, but that's a small price to pay for a device that can help bring your sexual pleasure to new heights (literally). For the very necessary act of cleaning, the Liberator Wedge's covers are removable and easy to wash.

Details

The Good & The Bad

  • Powerful
  • Lightweight
  • A tad kinky
  • Gets slippery with lube

Why We Like It

Some people wear their sexuality on their sleeve. Now, you can wear it around your neck. The Vesper by Crave — a slim yet surprisingly powerful vibrator — comes attached to a necklace chain. You or your boo can wear it proudly on a night out, and get things going long before you head home to the bedroom.

A tantalising secret for those in the know, rocking the Vesper can make foreplay start hours ahead of time. That means a very long build-up before you get to the bedroom for the main event, which is seriously sexy in itself.

Details

The Good & The Bad

  • 5 speeds, 2 patterns
  • Lots of pleasure possibilities
  • 60 mins battery time
  • Larger than average ring

Why We Like It

While the Tenga Smart Vibe Ring is technically a cock ring, but it’s capable of so much more. The magic of this gadget is in its shape, which allows it to work for a wide variety of purposes on a wide range of bodies and body parts.

The key here is versatility. It's a luxury rechargeable model with an upright stimulator for enhanced clitoral contact, which sounds (and works) great. The toy has five speeds and two patterns of vibration. So you have lots of options to vibe with. It’s equally as useful for solo play as it is for use as a couple. 

Details

The Good & The Bad

  • Swappable 7-inch dildo
  • Unisex fun
  • Harness included
  • Fully-adjustable
  • Harness could be softer

Why We Like It

The Lovehoney Unisex Strap-On is a one-size-fits all sex toy, both literally and figuratively. But that's why we love it. The harness easily adjusted to be worn comfortably by almost anybody, accommodating dress sizes 8-28.

In addition to delivering comfort for the person wearing it, the 7-inch dildo is curved to be G-spot and P-spot friendly, meaning it can be used for prostate stimulation during anal sex or for penetrative vaginal sex. 

Both the harness and the dildo are equally well-received by reviewers. But couples with their own collection of sex toys will be especially happy with it, because it's easy to swap out the dildo for a different one — whether you want one that's a little longer, or something more imaginatively designed.  

Details

The Good & The Bad

  • Hands-free vibes
  • His and her options
  • Ideal for travellers
  • Works when you're together
  • A pricier option
  • Needs setting up

Why We Like It

The We-Vibe Sync 2 is an update of a fan favourite couple's toy. It comes with both a panty vibrator and remote control, though the great thing about this gadget is that it's also controlled via the We-Vibe app.

The Sync 2 can be worn during penetrative sex, providing pleasure for both of you at the same time. Or use with the app for long-distance love. Just pop the vibrator in and let your partner control the 10 modes from anywhere in the world (or even when you're just sat across the room from each other).

The vibrations are also reassuringly quiet, so you can safely buzz while out in public. These vibrators are also waterproof, so feel free to get dirty in the bath.

Details

The Good & The Bad

  • Small and comfortable
  • 3 speeds, 3 patterns
  • Couple and solo play
  • Discrete travel size
  • USB rechargeable
  • Not for penetration

Why We Like It

The Lovehoney GLUVR is a creatively-designed vibrator that serves as a natural extension of your own fingers. Thanks to its innovative design, this finger vibrator turns your digits into tools for stimulation. Like a sexy thimble, it puts the orgasm — multiple orgasms, in fact — at your fingertips.

Not only can it be used for simultaneous clitoral and G-spot play, but it transforms all manner of foreplay fun. The only limit is your own imagination in the bedroom, with three speeds and three patterns to choose from. But don't feel limited by couple's bedroom time. The GLUVR is specifically designed to enhance solo play. Just work those fingers and set to the speed you want.

Details

The Good & The Bad

  • Easy to install
  • Hangs over any door
  • Cushioned straps
  • Adjustable
  • Needs upper body strength

Why We Like It

No, not those kind of swingers. Though you do you, boo. Whatever tickles your fancy. Which is exactly the point of this sex swing: To tickle your fancy in all kinds of ways — from all angles while the lovemaking is in literal motion.

The sex swing is a staple of kinky coupledom — ideal for anyone who's wondered what astronaut sex would be like. While this simple sex swing won’t exactly eliminate gravity, it will deliver a whole new dimension to your sex life.

This over-the-door swing is easy to hang, and makes those standing positions you see in porn — positions that are seemingly impossible — totally doable in the comfort of your own, erm, doorway. Not only that, it's easily adjustable and supports up to 140kg, accounting for different body shapes and sizes.

Details

The Good & The Bad

  • Insertable 8.5 inches
  • 5.75 inch girth
  • Ball loop keeps it firm
  • Desensitises penis
  • Needs lube
  • Too much for some

Why We Like It

Hey, fellas: If she (or he) wants a little bit more from you, don't feel bad. The average penis size is much smaller than Pornhub would have you believe (just 5.1 inches, in fact). Even so, the Lovehoney Mega Mighty can help.

It slips over the penis, adding up to 3 inches of length and giving a total 5.75 inches of girth. That's an impressive size by anyone's standards. It also has a ball loop that wraps about your chaps and keeps the extender firmly in place. So feel free to get fast and furious during lovemaking.

If there's a drawback, it's that you'll need to stock up on lube first, and make sure your partner is happy to handle this much extra love.
