If you're looking to spice things up in the bedroom, we've got you covered with the very best sex toys for couples. Toys can be an intensely personal thing. When we think of the best sex toys, the best vibrators, or the best sex toys for men, we tend to consider the drawer-fillers that are there to fill quiet solo moments – and while there's nothing stopping you whipping out something exciting when you're with a partner, some are definitely better sex toys for couples than others.
Finding the perfect couple's toy is about visual excitement, about finding new sensations, and about discovering something you can truly share. It doesn't matter what form your partnership takes, or even whether you can't be physically present with each other, there's something for everyone.
Best shareable sex toys
Let's start by looking at toys that both partners may be able to get a kick out of. There's plenty out there which can stimulate guys just as well as girls, or work well in a same-sex partnership by offering a thrill to both you and your partner at once.
Do be careful if you're sharing toys with someone you've not fluid bonded with – that is, someone you've not been with long enough to drop all kinds of protection. Covering your toy with one of the best condoms (and, indeed, switching out for a new one when you change the partner in charge of the toy or the orifice it's going into) is a good way to avoid any unwanted infections.
