23 of the best sex toys for couples this cuffing season, according to sex writers

The SONA 2 suction toy from LELO delivers some spine-tingling clitoral stimulation and has all our practical requirements ticked off: whisper-quiet and USB rechargeable. Ideal for solo play or to give a partnered session a fun twist...

Feathery soft silicone contributes to its luxe feeling (and matching price tag). Extremely powerful and intense, it’s a gateway to ultimate pleasure.

It comes with 12 different settings and can be fully submerged — so light some candles and take a steamy dip together.

What could be better than watching your partner squirm in pleasure? Uhh... nothing.

If you’re partial to a spot of power play, one partner can take control of this love egg, dragging it over the other’s nipples, clitoris, and inner thigh before being popped inside the vagina.

Set with three vibration speeds and seven patterns, this blue babe would make a perfect partner to oral sex, as the giving partner ramps up the power using the remote control to watch their lover ascend to blended orgasm bliss.

Of course, it’s waterproof, so if you prefer to get your rocks off in splash mode you can. Love!

People with vulvas have two holes, so we might as well make full use of them. If your partner particularly likes watching you squirm in pleasure (lucky you), you can hand them full control of this three-way toy, which sends vibes to your clit, G-spot, and backdoor.

Each of its three motors are independently controlled, so you can get the balance *juuust* right, and it even has a curved base so you can rock back and forth in whatever position you like — while practicing your hawk tuah skills, maybe!

This couples ring is the perfect third-party-player to introduce into the bedroom. The soft stretchy silicone fits close around most penis sizes, while the vibrator emits a strong, low-frequency vibration onto the clitoris, pulsating deep into the body for maximum sensation.

The ring is very easy to use, with a range of 10 vibration settings available at the push of one button, so you can spend more time on each other and not trying to figure out a sex toy. It also features five increasing speeds and five vibration patterns. Just be use to load up with water-based lube to ensure a friction-free finish.

If you and your partner are looking for a luxury sex toy, LELO is *the* brand to choose from.

The TIANI™ couples vibrator provides double pleasure with one arm that vibrates inside you for internal stimulation and another that vibrates against your clit. The outer arm aligns with your partner’s shaft to create powerful pleasure for you both.

There are eight vibration settings to choose from, and LELO’s SenseMotion technology enables you to increase the intensity with the remote control by just a flick of the wrist — so you’ll never need to interrupt the moment.

Shaped like a C, the We-Vibe Sync is intended for wear during penetrative sex to provide both G-spot and clitoral stimulation.

It can be controlled via a wireless remote for easy use during sex and, for long-distance couples, via an app on your phone — so you don’t have to resort to plain old manual mutual masturbation over FaceTime.

The rechargeable device is a sleek, comfortable couples toy that lets both partners enjoy vibrations and extra stimulation. It’s a bit on the pricier side but, as they say, you get what you pay for! And in this case that's customised blended Os — unreal.

It's almost impossible not to live a busy life — and that can often come at the expense of our pleasure, and spending quality time with our partners.

If you’re feeling disconnected from your lover — whether you live in different rooms, postcodes, or continents — Luxus is designed to bring you closer together.

Using the same technology as car sensors, its two parts (a clit vibrator and cock ring) increase in intensity as you draw closer together, to help you build up to a calamitous climax.

But, if you’re not able to be in the same place, you can also sync it up with the Luxus app to control each other’s pleasure pals from anywhere you like.

We’ve heard it said that life is what you make of it — and we’d have a good go at arguing that sex toys are what you make of them, too.

You might be pleased to hear you don’t have to do much to get a lot of pleasure out of this Bellesa boy. On top of its main clit-pulsing function (which is great, btw), it also has a clit suction and precise vibrating handle — so you’ll never run out of ways to play.

Not only does it make a thumping good addition to penetrative sex, but it could also level up vulva-on-vulva action, if you can figure out how to rest that paddle against one person’s sweet spot while the other straddles one of its other sides.

New to using sex toys for couples? We’d recommend this Lovehoney couples sex toy kit to get you started, complete with vibrators, cock rings, a butt plug, and anal beads.

With the selection of treats, it’s perfect for a long weekend away to explore the different sensations and toys that work for you as a couple.

The individual toys are affordable and great for experimentation, so you and your partner can keep exploring the favourites you’d want to upgrade in future.

If you’re not new to the couples sex toy game, you’ll likely have gone through some trial and error to find a sex toy — or a position — that doesn’t generate slip and some awkward fumbles.

Luckily, in 2014 an MIT engineer and a sexologist joined forces to create the world’s first ever crowdfunded sex toy — that’s entirely hands-free for this reason.

With two wings to wrap around the vulva, the Eva is Dame’s magnum opus, and provides three vibration intensities directly to the clitoris, without getting in the way of your lover’s member or fingers, or a dildo — oh, and the added hand cramp.

Another luxury toy brand, Lovense is a great choice for couples, especially if you’re looking to up the quality of a fledgling sex toy collection.

This app-controlled egg vibrator is one of Cosmo’s faves — just read our glowing review of it — and a brilliant long-distance sex toy for any couples looking to spice up their sex life together, even when they are physically apart.

Insert the egg for G-spot stimulation, while the tail provides rumbly vibrations against your clit. Then, play with the modes, patterns, views, and explore several ways of working the toy once you’re in the app. High tech sex!

Not to be dramatique, but we hate when sex toys try to dictate how we should use them — so we’ll spare you the same ordeal.

While, yes, you should absolutely be building up to using a bigger butt plug before backdoor penetration, if you’re already plenty prepped, go ahead and pop the bigger of these two ravishing roses in while the other is free for your partner to do with what they will.

ICYMI, glass makes for a sensational delight for any kind of pleasure product, as it can be warmed up or cooled down according to your preferences — and ofc, it’s super duper easy to clean when you’re done. It’s all coming up roses!
