The 16 Best Sex Toys for Couples, Tried and Tested by Sex Writers

We're not about to start knocking missionary — after all, it's the prime sexual position for intimacy and smooching. But, if you're looking to amplify the sensations during penetrative hetero sex, we highly recommend the Sync O.

Designed by the sexual wellness legends at We-Vibe, this C-shaped vibe pulses against her clit and sends sweet sensations shooting up your shaft too.

A new take on a well-loved design, this comes with an O-shaped inner arm to stop it wriggling out of place — and our resident sex writer can confirm it works.

Plus, it can be synced with an app to let your lover control or Os from a distance. Perfection!

Horny housewives first discovered just how effective the Hitachi Magic Wand Massager could be as a clit vibrator back in the 1960s. The wand's stayed pretty true to form ever since, delivering both deep tissue massage and clitoral stimulation to its lucky users.

The SMART WAND 2 from LELO comes in medium or large and both sizes have a flexible neck designed to explore your/his/her contours, plus 10 power settings depending on your mood.

You can use it together by simply touching anywhere that feels good. Best of all, this magic wand really does double up as an effective massage gun that's so powerful you can feel it through your clothes (trust us, we've tried it) giving you a whole lot more bang for your buck.

You may be surprised to see the title of 'best clit vibrator' go to something other than the Rose — the clit stimulator that's gained global recognition for getting vulvas-owners off in minutes. But that's more of a solo satisfier.

If she needs intense clitoral action to send her soaring into orgasmic orbit, the Eva II delivers without the fuss of having to fiddle around with a lubey toy in the heat of the moment.

Its two arms loop around the labia (the 'lips' around the vagina — although we hope you know that!) to allow both your hands to roam elsewhere, while it delivers three intensities of vibrations to her clit and whatever part of you happens to be touching that area at the same time.

Looking for something to level up her orgasms during oral sex? LELO is always ahead of the game, so of course it's created this remote controlled love egg for easy use while you get down and dirty with other activities.

Whether she's going down on you, or you on her, you can cover this egg in plenty of lube before slipping it into her vagina for explosive orgasms as it vibrates against her G-spot.

It's loaded with eight vibration modes, all controlled by the wireless remote — we'll leave it to you to decide whether or not to take the reins on which settings you land on.

Did you know that most vagina-owners (81.6%) struggle to

orgasm through penetrative sex alone? The solution: Clitoral stimulation — or a delicious combination of the two.

Fortunately for everyone, the TOR 3 couples' ring from LELO restricts blood flow to promote a stronger, longer-lasting erection for you, while the addition of a well-placed vibrating nub means your partner gets to orgasm, too.

This raised nub comes with eight pulsing patterns, delivering intense pleasure to your lover's clit/perineum. We should also mention it's 100% waterproof and reaches noise levels of no more than 60 dB.

If you're new to sex tech, a bullet vibrator is a great place to start. It works like a miniature vibrator, sending pleasing pulses down its tiny shaft.

This simple sex toy is intuitive to use — simply switch it on and point it where you want pleasure — and the price tag is pocked-friendly, too.

The designers of The Whisperer say it delivers 'the most delicate of feel-good flutters', making it ideal for beginners. It's also palm-sized and disguised to look just like a lip balm so you can keep it in your pocket for when the moment strikes.

Yes, it's another vibrating cock ring, but this one is a necessary addition to your toy box. Lovehoney’s take on the classic toy features two stretchy rings — one to loop behind your balls and another that sits under the shaft — to help you maintain an erection for longer and keep sessions going through the night.

Simply lube up your schlong, attach your new favourite gadget and switch between its 12 vibrating functions to send sensations down to your perineum — and, with the help of its textured nub, provide an extra hit of stimulation for her C-spot.

Previously labelled a fetish, a fantasy, or secondary to penis-in-vagina sex, anal has finally hit the mainstream. Thank god, considering the thousands of nerves endings hidden backstage.

One of LELO's newer releases, its anal beads were designed with beginners in mind, and so very gradually build in size. Then there's the Bow-Motion vibration technology that mimics authentic penetration.

As the brand's first unisex toy, we insist you take turns... but only after proper cleaning with an anti-bac spray or warm, soapy water.

Looking to reach uncharted territory in your sex life? Let us suggest a wedge as your new bedroom bestie…

While not *technically* a sex toy, this microfibre wedge will level up (literally) your usual routine, as not only can it help to unlock new positions, but also provide support for sore hips.

Simply angle the pillow under hips to give you easy access during oral sex, or position it under the stomach to point their posterior exactly where you want it to be, for deeper penetration. What’s not to love?

Look, we’re sure your fingers are great and all, but she’s likely figured out her favourite clit stimulation/ penetration combo by herself by now. So you’re going to have to bring something really great to the party to match that — enter: Bellesa’s Finger Pro Air.

This wearable vibe will help you up your fingering game by delivering the brand’s signature suction technology to her C-spot, while your fingers (or penis, your choice) delve towards her G-spot. Or, sit back and enjoy the moment as she transcends to clitoral orgasm bliss.

Suction simulation not her vibe? Try this thumping version of the finger toy instead.

In case you missed the memo, anything that goes in your backside needs to be completely smooth and clean to avoid spreading infections, and have a large flared base to prevent it being sucked inside your rectum.

Although not the sexiest checklist, this butt plug ticks all those boxes, and we also think metal is an ideal anal ally because it adds a sensory element on top of hitting your P-spot.

Depending on your preference, you can heat up or cool this butt plug in a bowl of water for an added sensation before sliding it in, and it's super easy to clean when you're done. Enjoy!

It's a well-known fact that restricting one of your senses heightens the others. So, slip these cuffs onto your (consenting) beloved, ease the ball gag into their mouth and cover their eyes with the mask to start the ultimate bedside party.

This faux fur-lined three-piece set from Bondage Boutique is fairly vanilla on the kinky spectrum, but should be just enough to kickstart your BDSM journey.

We can't condone getting your kicks in public while in the company of strangers, but we understand some couples like to add a bit of risk to their frisky sessions.

Most knicker vibrators focus on teasing her clit, but the Lovense wanted to share the feel-good vibes with her G-spot too.

So while she inserts it — no matter where you are in the world — it's your job to connect to the Lovense app to get creative with making personalised vibration patterns to suit her.

The best news? You can buy your own Lovense masturbator, like the Gush or Solace, to sync up your vibration modes with your favourite tunes, or even play a virtual game that controls its buzzes.
