Whether you and your loved one, casual non-committal three year situationship, or FWB are looking for a new type of stimulation to bring into the bedroom (anal sex, nipple play, or sensation play, anyone?), one of you experiences pain during sex, or you simply just want something fun to be excited about together, there are toys out there for everyone.
Maybe you’ve chosen your summer holiday as the first time to experiment with a toy, or maybe your partner has a specific kink or itch they’d love for you to scratch.

What are the types of sex toys for couples?
There are so many sex toys on the market these days (capitalism really popped off with that), it can be hard to tell what toys fit your specific circumstances.
If you and your partner are looking to introduce something new into your sex life, it’s good to know where to start. Good news for newbies, though — you can start pretty much anywhere. “Anything you can use solo you can use as a couple (think vibrators, dildos, cock ring, clit suctions toys, butt plugs),” explains Amari, a clinical sexologist and certified sex coach.
While any of these toys can easily transition from your solo sex sessions to your partnered sex life, there are also toys tailored just for you and your other half <3.
“Toys that are specific to couples include: bondage gear (think ropes, handcuffs), double-ended dildos, remote-controlled vibrators, strap-ons and harnesses, and BDSM equipment, such as a spanking bench, paddles, and floggers,” Amari says.
What to consider when buying couples sex toys
As if buying a sex toy for yourself wasn’t enough, buying a sex toy for you and a partner requires taking into account double the amount of sexual preferences.
To make your shopping experience easier, Amari points to some factors to consider with your partner when buying a toy for the two of you:
- Comfort and shape: Consider if it will work with your bodies and positions.
- Materials: Look for body-safe silicone, stainless steel, or glass.
- Noise level: Discreet toys are ideal for shared spaces.
- Waterproof or not: Waterproof toys are great for bath/shower play and easy cleaning.
- Power type: Rechargeable is more eco-friendly and convenient than battery-operated.
- Intensity settings: More options = more personalised pleasure.
- Remote or app control: Adds hands-free or distance-play capabilities.

Honey Wyatt is the Sex and Relationships Senior Ecommerce Writer for Cosmopolitan, Women’s Health and Men’s Health, covering the best sex toys, lubes, and any product or service that positively contributes to sexual wellbeing and healthy relationships.
Honey completed an MA in magazine journalism at City, University of London in 2023, which she passed with a merit. She has run Sextras, a podcast and magazine about sex and relationships, since 2020, speaking to experts on everything from sex worker rights to how to practice sex magic and whether man-hating is justified.

When she’s not asking everyone she meets invasive questions about their sex and dating lives, you can find Honey bingeing noughties/nineties box sets, belting Chappell Roan or Wicked around her flat, teaching herself a craft that seems unlikely she’ll be able to achieve (spoiler: she does), or pondering the meaning of life to a podcast on long walks.
