Sex Toys for Couples: How to Choose Your First One Together

Sex toys for couples are easiest to choose when you start with the conversation, not the catalogue: what do you both want more of, and how hands-on do you want the toy to be? This guide walks through that conversation, the main types of adult toys for couples, and what Badd Kitty stocks at each price.

Updated October 2026

Quick answer

  • Easiest first toy: a vibrating cock ring such as the Vedo Thrust ($64.95), or a three-pack of simple silicone rings from $9.95.
  • Best wearable couples vibrator: We-Vibe Sync ($179.95), worn during penetrative sex.
  • Best for teasing and distance: an app-controlled wearable such as We-Vibe Moxie+ ($151.95) or Femme Funn Ossia ($94.95).
  • Most versatile add-on: a small wand like the Le Wand Mini Micro ($35.95).
  • Lowest-pressure start: a couples card game from $9.95 plus a good lube.

Start with the conversation

Choosing sex toys for couples together works better than surprising a partner. Pick a relaxed moment outside the bedroom and keep it simple: "I'd like us to try a toy together; want to look with me?" Talk about what each of you wants more of (closeness, stronger sensation, longer sessions, a bit of playful control) and anything that is off the table. Then browse side by side. A card game such as We've Never But We Will ($10.95) turns the whole conversation into a game.

Types of couples toys

Vibrating cock rings

A cock ring sits at the base of the penis (or a dildo) and, with a vibrating bullet on top, stimulates both partners during penetrative sex. Simple stretch rings start at $7.95 for a three-pack; rechargeable rings such as the Vedo Thrust ($64.95) and Vedo Thunder Bunny ($71.95) add speeds and patterns. They suit every pairing and almost every position.

Wearable couples vibrators

These C-shaped vibes are worn by the receiving partner during sex, with one arm inside and one against the clitoris. The We-Vibe Sync ($179.95) adjusts to fit and is remote and app controlled; the Sync Go ($129.95) is the lighter travel version; the Chorus ($225.95) and Chorus Pro ($229.95) are the most powerful.

Remote and app-controlled toys

One partner wears, the other controls, in the same room or across the country. The We-Vibe Moxie+ ($151.95) is a panty vibe with app control, the Femme Funn Ossia ($94.95) is a remote-controlled wearable bullet, and the We-Vibe Jive 2 ($164.95) is an internal wearable. For the wearer with a penis, the We-Vibe Verge 2 ($154.95) is a perineum stimulator.

Wands and bullets

A small wand is the most flexible add-on: use it on either partner, in any position, during or before sex. The Le Wand Mini Micro ($35.95) is pocket-sized; the Femme Funn Ultra Wand ($84.95) has a bendable head and is waterproof.

Games, lube and extras

Kheper Games' Sex! Card Game ($9.95) and Bedroom Commands ($9.95) give you a reason to try something new, and a good lube such as Wicked Simply Hybrid ($23.95) makes every toy feel better.

How to choose your first one

  • Budget under $40: a silicone ring set, a mini wand, or a card game plus lube.
  • You want it during sex: a vibrating cock ring or a wearable couples vibrator.
  • You want to tease or play apart: a remote or app-controlled wearable.
  • You are nervous about intensity: start with something small and quiet with a low setting, such as the Mini Micro Wand, and work up.
  • Material and care: choose body-safe silicone, rechargeable where possible, and waterproof if you like the shower.

Mistakes couples make with a first toy

  • Buying the most powerful thing. Intensity is not the goal; a quiet, low setting that both of you like is. You can always turn it up.
  • Making it a surprise. A toy that arrives unannounced can feel like a verdict. Choose it together.
  • Replacing, not adding. Couples toys work best as an extra pair of hands, not a substitute for touch.
  • Forgetting lube. Every toy, every time. It is the cheapest upgrade in the store.
  • Giving up after one try. Position, pressure and timing all take a few sessions to settle.

Consent, comfort and hygiene

Agree in advance who holds the remote and that either of you can pause at any time; app control is only fun when the wearer can tap out. Use water-based or hybrid lube with silicone toys, wash toys with warm water and a toy cleaner after each use, and let them dry before storing. Toys should never hurt; if a ring feels too tight, remove it, and never wear one for more than about 20 to 30 minutes at a stretch. Any ongoing pain or numbness is a reason to see a clinician. This article is general guidance, not medical advice.
