To pick the best sex toys, tools, and vibrators for couples, I considered the 400+ options I’ve tried throughout my tenure as a sex toy tester. I also asked other testers, sex therapists, and educators to weigh in on their go-to toys for partnered play. To narrow down the list, I evaluated based on the following criteria:
Material: All of the couples’ sex toys on this list are made from body-safe materials, which are less likely to harbor bacteria. Most of the motorized toys are crafted from medical-grade silicone, which has a smooth, skin-like feel. There are also toys made from ABS plastic and stainless steel; these are firmer but equally safe.
Ease of use: Using a sex toy with your S.O. should be fun, but a complicated display and design can make it less so. That’s why I evaluated all toys based on how intuitive they are to use, as well as how comfortable they are to hold or fit between two (or more bodies)..
Features: I also evaluated toys based on their power and variety of intensities, Bluetooth connection strength (if applicable), and battery life. If a product touted a travel lock, whisper-quiet motor, or remote control that worked from a certain distance, I verified those claims.
