What Types of Sex Toys Do Couples Enjoy?
Sex toys are a great way to spice up your sex life. They can be used for solo play or with a partner, and they come in all shapes and sizes. There are many different types of sex toys out there, but what do couples enjoy using the most? Here’s a look at some of the most popular types of sex toys among couples:
Penis Rings
The penis ring is made from silicone or rubber, which makes it very flexible and easy to use. There are many different types of rings available on the market today, but the most popular has a small vibrator on the top, to stimulate a woman’s clitoris. The penis ring is worn at the base of the penis. Since it creates a light pressure, it helps the man last longer in bed.
Couples’ Vibrators
Couples’ vibrators have a C-shaped design. The woman wears the vibrator inside her vagina while he penetrates her. Yes, he can insert the penis while the vibrator is inside her pussy. This way, the vibrations stimulate both partners and he’ll feel more “tightness” as the sex toy takes up a little space inside the vagina. Thanks to the peculiar C-shaped design, these toys stimulate the G-spot and the clitoris at the same time.
Remote-controlled Vibrating Eggs
Vibrating eggs have a shape that resembles an egg. The woman wears the egg inside her vagina. A small string, similar to the string of a tampon, stays outside the body, so you can easily remove the egg after playing. But the funniest thing is that the egg is controlled by a wireless remote. Give the remote to your partner who will be able to make you gasp and moan as he likes! Some models can be controlled from any distance over the Internet, so they’re perfect for long-distance couples!
Ben Wa Balls
Ben Wa balls are a couple of small balls designed to be worn inside the vagina. Most of them feature a string for easy removal and an internal metal ball, which stimulates the vaginal walls with every movement. Today, there are many types of Ben Wa balls. Some even have a vibrating motor for additional stimulation. These tiny balls became famous thanks to “Fifty Shades of Grey”. Try wearing them inside the vagina before spanking, it will be an amazing sensation!
Magic Wand Massagers
Magic Wand massagers have a microphone-like shape that distributes the vibrations evenly on your pleasure spots. They’re commonly used as clitoral stimulators thanks to their powerful vibrations, but they’re suitable for the whole body. Try them on the scrotum, nipples, neck, back, and shoulders, you’ll love them! Magic Wand massagers can have a rechargeable battery or disposable batteries. Some models — typically, the most powerful ones — need to be connected to an electricity outlet.
Penis Cloning Kits

Based on the kit of your choice, you can create a copy in different colors, or even a vibrating one! You can then use the finished product as if it was a regular dildo. There are also pussy cloning kits around if that’s your thing, but you can’t use the pussy clone as a masturbator.
Vibrating Panties
Vibrating panties are just regular panties with a small pocket. Inside the pocket, you can put a bullet vibrator for clitoral stimulation. Typically, the packaging already includes the bullet vibe. Vibrating panties can have many different features. For example, they can have a remote control your partner can play around with. Or different vibration patterns. There are also wearable vibrators you can connect to your panties using a magnet.

- Start using it one step at a time. Do not rush things. You’ve received your first vibrator in the mail — congratulations! Now, don’t be too enthusiastic or you’ll ruin the magic! Start using your sex toy during foreplay to caress your partner’s neck, back, shoulders… then, go down across their belly, towards their most intimate parts. This will give your partner time to get used to the vibrations and to warm up before penetration. You can also read our guide about how to masturbate with a vibrator.

- The shape. Choose a sex toy with a classic design and a simple shape. For your first time, you want something that’s not too complicated.
