The guide to getting the right toys for couples
Enhance your sensual experience with your partner by adding adult toys to the mix! Toys are a safe and healthy way to introduce more pleasure and intimacy with your partner. When looking for adult toys to share, it’s important to know what you’re both interested in, the items available to choose from, and the right toy material and lubes for your perfect sensual purchase.
Where to Start
Introducing adults’ toys into a relationship can be a sensitive experience, so be sure to approach it from a perspective of mutual benefit. Whether you’re looking to spice up an old routine or try something new, adult toys make every sensual experience feel new and exciting. Communicate your own desires to your partner but make time to ask what they’re interested in trying as well. Knowing your mutual or differing desires is a good starting place for deciding what toys you should try. For example, the following table illustrates how to start looking for the perfect adult toy for you and your partner.
| If you’re looking for... | You should try a... |
|---|---|
| Sensual foreplay | Massage oil/lotions, sex games |
| New sex positions | Sex position wedge, sex swing, book |
| Something kinky | Blindfold, handcuffs |
| A toy to use on her | Massager, bullet vibrator, strap-on |
| A toy to use on him | Male masturbator, prostate massager, strap-on |
| A toy for both | Couples' Vibrators, double ended dildo |
Figuring out What’s Right for You
With so many options out there, finding the right toy can be a daunting task. You and your partner’s desires may or may not align, which will make finding the right toy (or toys!) challenging. Even if you’re not initially as interested as your partner in the idea of a certain toy, it’s always worth exploring new avenues and getting out of your comfort zone (but always have a safe word, just in case!). Enhancing your sensuality and intimacy in your relationship is easy and achievable with the right toys! When you know what you and your partner want, you can get into the different types of toys available to you.
Types of Toys
Strap-ons
Enhance your sensuality with the ability to penetrate your partner. Strap-ons are great for couples looking to experiment or increase their pleasure in the bedroom. If there’s already a penis in the mix, try a penis extender for increased length and girth.
- Strap-on/harness-compatible for her: If you’re looking to penetrate a partner, harness-compatible or strap-on dildos are perfect for mutual pleasure.
- Strap-on/harness-compatible for him: Suitable as a penis extension to enjoy new ways of lovemaking, or as an aid to erectile dysfunction, allowing you to continue an intimate physical relationship with your partner.
- Penis extender: For a little extra girth and length, use a penis extender at the size of your choice. These toys are worn like a sleeve over your penis to keep everything in place and give your sensual experience a little enhancement.
Cock rings
To feel harder and last longer, cock rings wrap around the base of your penis, tightly restricting blood flow. Be sure to measure your penis to ensure a good fit with your cock ring. Wearing a cock ring that’s too tight will hurt and wearing one too loose won’t work at all!
- Vibrating: This type of cock ring transforms your penis into a vibrator your partner will absolutely love. Sending waves through your entire shaft (and around your balls if you choose!), vibrating cock rings increase your pleasure and your staying length.
- Rabbit: Perfect for couples, rabbit cock rings have all the regular benefits and pleasures for you with the added bonus of clitoral stimulation for your partner! Usually of the vibrating variety, these cock rings vibrate you and your partner to shared ecstasy.
Massage oils and lotions
Explore your partner’s body and find all their favorite spots with massage oils and lotions. These lubricants offer a range of incredible sensations as you pleasure your partner with a muscle-relaxing and sensual massage.
- Flavored: Treat your partner to a relaxing, soothing massage that involves your hands and your tongue! Flavored massage lubricant is safe to ingest and comes in a variety of sweet flavors for you and your partner’s enjoyment.
- Tingling: Add new sensations to your play with tingling massage oils and lotions. While your partner works the lotion into your skin, enjoy a pleasurable tingling sensation.
- Massage candles: Set the mood with a sexy scented massage candle, then up the ante by spilling the warm, sensual wax over your partner’s body. Some massage candles come in the edible variety, allowing you to add tongue to your hot, waxy massage. Always use a dedicated massage candle rather than one of your regular home candles, which will burn too hot and burn your lover’s skin.
Sex games
Switch it up in the bedroom with sex games! These games encourage you to try different combinations of sensations and touches. Get out of your comfort zone with new suggestions for the bedroom and experience a higher level of sensuality.
- Dice: These sex games involve rolling dice to determine what sex act to do with your partner. The randomness of the game means you’ll have a new sensual experience every time!
- Cards: The only high stakes in this sexy game will be the high arousal of you and your partner. Draw cards to determine foreplay and sex positions for heightened sensuality.
- Board games: Intimately explore your sexual fantasies with a romantic boardgame. These games allow you to explore romantic and physical intimacies with your partner!
Bondage
Delve into bondage with your partner to experience new sensations and excitement. Bondage can be a little nerve-wracking when you’re just beginning, so make sure to have open communication with your partner about your needs and interests.
- Blindfolds: A blindfold is an easy introduction to bondage and kink play. By cutting off your sense of sight, the sensation of your partner’s touch is unexpected and heightened.
- Handcuffs: A common fantasy is to be restrained or to restrain your partner. Handcuffs are easy-to-use and highly accessible. From fluffy to leather to metal, there are tons of handcuffs to choose from for your first foray into bondage.
Sex positions
Try a new sex position with your partner to get out of your routine. Often, we find ourselves returning to the easier sex positions for convenience and may even become bored with the monotony of it. Our store has several sex position toys for you to change things up in the bedroom and really wow your partner!
- Wedge: Get your partner into any position with a sex position wedge. These handy little cushions allow you to lift and shape your partner’s body for shared maximum pleasure.
- Swing: Sex swings offer endless possibilities for positions, you just need to be creative and ready to have fun. Once you get more experience and understand how to use the swing, it can offer a vast variety of different positions that you and your partner can engage in – without too much effort.
- Book: Learn about sex positions you’ve never even thought of with a sex position book. Books about sensuality and sex are full of knowledge that you can put to the (very erotic) test in the bedroom.
