Curious about bringing toys into the bedroom together, but not sure where to start? You are not alone. Couples’ toys can boost intimacy, add new sensations, and open up fresh conversations about what you both enjoy.
This guide walks you through how popular couples’ toys work, which products are great for first timers, and how to choose something that genuinely fits your relationship.
Why try couples’ toys together
Shared pleasure: Toys designed for two help you sync sensations and focus on each other.
Better communication: Exploring a new toy naturally leads to clear, consent based chats about desires and boundaries.
Variety without pressure: You can add gentle novelty or go all in on a new favourite, whatever feels right for you both.
Confidence and connection: Learning what feels good, together, can strengthen trust and closeness.
Should couples use toys together?
If you are both curious and consenting, yes. Toys are simply tools for pleasure and exploration. Start slowly, choose a style that suits both bodies, and check in as you go.
How a couple’s massager works
A couple’s massager is typically shaped to sit comfortably against external or internal erogenous zones, often with dual motors so both partners feel the vibrations. Many models, like We Vibe wearables, are designed to be worn during penetration so one end stimulates the clitoris or vulva while the other sits internally.
They usually offer: Multiple patterns and intensities to match different arousal stages
Flexible, body safe silicone that adapts to anatomy.
App or remote control for hands free play and teasing
In short, a couple’s massager shares sensation. It helps both of you feel more in sync, whether you are side by side on the couch or mid cuddle in bed.
What makes a good couples’ toy for beginners
Comfort first: Soft, flexible silicone and a slim profile help first sessions feel relaxed.
Simple controls: One button or a small remote makes it easy to adjust without breaking the mood.
Moderate power range: Rumbly low settings feel gentle, higher levels are there if you want them.
Quiet and discreet: Whispery motors reduce performance nerves.
Easy to clean: Non porous surfaces and straightforward shapes are ideal.
If you are brand new, start with something wearable or external. A vibrating ring, a slender wearable C shaped vibe, or a small remote controlled toy are all beginner friendly.
The best toys for couples, popular picks in Australia
Below are versatile categories and standout features that couples love. Choose based on how you like to connect.
Wearable C shaped vibes, including We Vibe styles: Designed to be worn during penetration so both partners feel stimulation. Many pair with phone apps for long distance play, playful teasing, and custom patterns.
Vibrating rings: Stretchy rings worn around the base of the penis or a dildo add gentle constriction and vibration for both partners. Look for flexible silicone and a removable bullet for easy cleaning.
Remote controlled eggs and bullets: Great for public play or bedroom teasing. One of you handles the remote, the other enjoys the surprise.
Wand massagers for shared massage: Broad heads make wands perfect for body warm ups, shoulders, and external pleasure. They also turn into a couples’ tool when you guide the vibration together.
App controlled devices: If you enjoy tech and experimentation, app features let you save favourite rhythms, hand the controls to your partner, and even sync with music.

Gentle guidance on lube and toy safety
Silicone toys, generally safer with water based lubes; silicone lubes may harm some silicone surfaces, check the toy label.
Silicone lubricants provide long lasting glide but can interact with silicone toy surfaces. This may cause surface tackiness or degradation over time. If your toy’s manufacturer explicitly allows silicone lube, follow their guidance; otherwise opt for a high quality water based formula for universal compatibility.
Do not use oil based lubes with latex condoms; they can weaken latex and cause breakage.
When in doubt, follow the toy maker’s care instructions or contact their support.
If you prefer a gentler formula, look into organic lube options that are body considerate and easy to clean up.
First timer tips for an easy, enjoyable start
Talk first: Share what you want to try, plus any firm yeses and no go zones. Agree on a safe word or signal to pause.
Set the scene: Warm lighting, a clean sheet or towel, and maybe a massage to relax together.
Start on low: Begin with the gentlest setting; increase only if it feels good for both of you.
Keep it external: Explore clitoral, vulvar, scrotal, perineal, and nipple play before any insertable options.
Try positions that keep you close: Spooning, face to face, or one partner seated with the other on top makes it easy to guide the toy and maintain eye contact.
Check in often: Simple questions like “softer or higher?” keep things collaborative.
Clean and store: Use warm water and a mild toy cleaner or gentle soap, then dry and store per the product guide.
Product ideas to spark inspiration
Wearable C shaped couples’ vibes: Known for ergonomic fit and rumbly motors, ideal if you want internal plus external stimulation at the same time.
Vibrating rings: A classic for shared clitoral and shaft sensations with minimal learning curve.
Remote controlled eggs: Perfect for foreplay that starts at dinner and finishes at home. The thrill is in the secret.
Wand massagers: Double as body massagers and external pleasure powerhouses. Great for achy backs and slow build arousal.
Air pulse clitoral options: Pair beautifully with manual or penetrative play, and many users enjoy combining them with a ring or wearable for layered sensation.
If you have different sensitivity levels, pick toys with independent motor control or wide intensity ranges. That way you can customise the balance.
How to choose together
Start with your goals: Do you want more foreplay, deeper orgasms, or playful teasing outside the bedroom?
Match to anatomy: A flexible wearable helps when you want to keep penetration comfortable; a broader head wand suits external focus.
Consider noise and discretion: Look for “whisper” or “quiet” in specs if thin walls or housemates are a concern.
Think about control style: Button only, remote, or app control. Choose the one you will actually enjoy using.
Budget realistically: Quality entry level toys exist, and you can always add to your collection later.
