Sex Toys for Couples: How to Bring Sex Toys Into the Bedroom

These are still good suction toys, and you should check them out if you’re still shopping around. Baci is an oral-sex stimulating robot that gave an orgasm I feel was decidedly designer—that is, it felt upscale. It’s constructed to stay put on your vulva, and the groove is meant to mimic the feel of a chin (to approximate receiving oral) and also help secure the toy at your sweet spot. This is a go-to couples’ toy, but you can still enjoy We-Vibe on a solo mission, invigorating your manual masturbation game.

Though obviously that should be the case for any vibe, it’s nice that there’s a toy out there that markets itself as such and leans in to the different ways different bodies can enjoy some buzz. If you’re not looking for more intense direct stimulation, the Tango might be a bit too much. It is also on the pricier end, but if you want a bullet vibe that’ll last for a while and that you’ll actually want to use time and time again, we say the Tango is well worth the investment. The other aspects of the Poet’s design are just as impressive, with the finger-pad sized indents on its sides making it both easy for holding and squeezing, which adjusts the vibration and pulse speed. So yes, it’s a little pricey, but it has the features that back the price up, and still, it’s still cheaper than the Womanizer Premium or Lelo Sila.

Masturbation can be a great way to learn more about your body and what you like. Lioness takes that idea to a whole new level with a vibrator that gets you off and then gives you the data of your orgasms. The wide surface area and flexible fins allow you to manipulate this vibe in tons of different ways that are not at all possible with your traditional bullet or wand. Because it’s flat, you can throw it on a pillow and grind to your heart’s content or slip it inside a harness.

Hodder describes this one as “a handy clitoral vibrator with an elongated and angled neck, which makes it great for people who have a hard time reaching certain external erogenous zones. It’s also super comfortable to hold and is easy on the wrist.” It boasts three powerful speeds and the vibrating end is coated in body-safe silicone. And they come in bright colors because, why not have a little fun with your fun?

Many sexual health experts suggest people having these issues use a vibrator to help them achieve orgasm more easily. “Sex toys come into direct contact with bodily fluids, bacteria, and potential pathogens, so without proper cleaning, they can harbor bacteria , viruses, and fungi, significantly increasing the risk of infections,” she says. Cleaning your toys after use also helps them work properly and last longer, she adds. There’s more to this beginner-friendly grinder from Cute Little Fuckers than meets the eye. The smiling star design “provides a [wide] variety of sensations and textures, which makes this a great external vibe and grinding toy, no matter the shape of your bits,” Finn previously told SELF. Place Starsi in your palm or face-up on a surface to zhuzh up your solo time.

With its slightly slimmer shaft, flexible clitoral stimulator, and intense vibration patterns vibrators, it’s ideal for use with a partner. Whether you’re taking turns controlling the settings or using it during foreplay, this toy knows how to play nice (but not too nice). Skyn Vibes caters to newcomers in the world of pleasure with its user-friendly design and approachable features.

Penetration rarely makes an appearance during my masturbation sessions, as I often experience dyspareunia (or pain during penetration). However, I was eventually able to give the dildo side of the toy a try when my long-distance partner was in town. After a thorough preplay session, my partner lubed up the Vibrato and slowly slid it inside me. While there’s tons of toys on the market — ones that cater to penetration, to high tech bells and whistles or ones that are just unique and a little surprising —  sometimes you want to find a toy that’s really good at one thing. Try a few of these out and you’ll level-up your cliteracy in no time. Svakom’s Vibrating Love Egg has a fun remote-control feature, so you can hand control to your partner, while those on the hunt for something a little different should consider Lovehoney’s knicker vibrator.

A whisper-quiet, lay-on vibrator, the rumbly Womanizer Vibe is uniquely curved to cup your entire vulva.. You can use the broad side’s edges or the pointed tip to directly target your clitoris, Shamyra Howard, PhD, CST, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker and AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF. “Its noiseless feature makes it quieter than many other vibes, which allows you to stay focused on the many intense sensations,” she says.
