Why we chose it: The We-Vibe Chorus is our pick for overall best sex toy for couples because of its clever design, small form, excellent build, and smart toy capabilities. This vibrator offers a little something for each partner. The Chorus is an upgrade over We-Vibe’s previous long-distance offerings and allows each partner to experiment with varying vibration modes and intensities, play together, or play long distance, with one partner “controlling” pleasure for the other through the We-Connect app. While this toy is a bit on the pricier side, it’s a great one to splurge on if you’re trying to enhance play with your partner.

Why we chose it: This small vibrator is easy to place in a suitcase, or throw in a purse or bag for some last minute fun on-the-go. Even if someone were to see the Lelo Lily 2 peeking through your purse, it’s not easily identifiable as a sex toy thanks to its discreet and sleek design. While this vibrator doesn’t come with a travel lock — a feature many travel-friendly sex toys tout — we picked the Lelo Lily for its small, sleek design, eight stimulation patterns, and because it’s great for partnered play. It is meant to nestle comfortably between partners during play and penetrative sex. It is also infused with a signature fragrance meant to help partners stay present and engage their senses.

Why we chose it: This vibrator is designed for couples as it can provide hands-free clitoral stimulation during penetrative sex or other forms of play. It’s slim, flexible, and compact, making it comfy to wear and easy to control. It has a single-button remote so you don’t have fumble with reaching down to the device, which can sometimes interrupt the pace and flow of sexy time with your partner. Its nine intensity modes and whisper quiet feature also make it a great vibrator for couples wanting to discreetly experiment with different sensations.

Why we chose it: Sportsheets has a reputation for well-made harnesses, and that’s true of its entry-level model, too. This product is great for cishet couples who are just starting to explore power play, gender role reversal, or want to try pegging. It can be great for queer couples who want a gender-affirming aid to hold a realistic dildo, or for lesbian couples looking for a comfortable harness to better experience penetrative sex. Besides the comfort benefits, the adjustable nature of the harness also ensures it can last longer than a harness that might stretch out over time.

Why we chose it: Despite its smaller size compared to the competition, the Domi 2 packs a surprising amount of power in its vibrations. We love this wand massager for couples because of its ability to sync vibration patterns to music, making for a fun (and perhaps silly) experience for couples wanting to try something different while grooving to a beat. Its long distance capabilities mean couples can also play together while not being in the same room, with one person using the app to set vibration patterns for their partner.

Why we chose it: Couples interested in a smart sex toy meant for long distance play may find that the We-Vibe Moxie Panty Vibe fits the bill. Not only is it app-enabled so one partner can control the vibration patterns for the wearer from a distance, but it comes with a magnet clip so it can be worn inside panties or underwear. Couples who want to explore some public but discreet play can wear this vibrator out and about while feeling vibrations controlled by their partner.

Why we chose it: For couples who are interested in exploring their kinkier side, but want something easy-to-use, and meant for beginners, the Sportsheets Under the Bed Restraints is a great choice. Its excellent material and build quality, along with Velcro quick-releases, make this a simple, well-made bondage kit for newbies. It allows partners to explore power play dynamics, without too much intensity. That’s because the kit still leaves room for movement by the bondaged partner. While this kit is beginner-friendly, it’s also great for kinksters at all levels.

Why we chose it: Small, affordable and incredibly quiet, the Dame Zee Lapis is a fun-sized vibrator that’s easy to hide away in your purse, pocket, or other travel bag. The low-noise level won’t give up the game when you and your partner are trying to keep things under wraps from neighbors, or other people you might live with, like roommates or family. It’s also great for parents trying to sneak in some quiet sexy time while the kids are asleep. Plus it’s waterproof, USB rechargeable, and can slot into most harnesses. This makes the Dame Zee a swiss army knife of discrete, pocketable pleasure. The lower rating may be attributed to the fact that this little vibe isn’t the most powerful, and it has a simplistic design, with only three intensity levels. But when it comes to enhancing partnered play in a quiet and discreet way, it gets the job done nicely.

Why we chose it: When trying butt play for the first time, don’t go from zero to hero. This anal training kit comes with butt plugs of varying sizes so you can start small and work your way up to larger sizes as you get more comfortable. As you work up your anal training, you may even graduate from this kit and try anal beads, and more.

Why we chose it: This dildo kit allows partners to mold a custom dildo together. It really is a two-person job, and partners can laugh and have some sexy-time fun while one person puts the mold on their partner’s penis, making a dildo that looks and feels familiar. The dildo comes with a bullet vibrator, and can be great to use if one partner goes on vacation or out of town. Reviewers note that it can be hot to think about their girlfriend using a dildo molded after their dick, especially when they’re not there.

Why we chose it: We love the Liberator Wedge for its versatility and comfort during partnered play. Its discreet appearance as a simple wedge pillow allows it to blend in with other household items, while its angled design provides support for both partners in a variety of positions. Made with high-quality materials and featuring a comfortable foam interior, the Liberator Wedge makes it easier and more comfortable to experiment with new and (perhaps) more challenging positions.
