The first step will be to introduce this idea to your partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s a daunting task for many \u2013 if you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/using-sex-toys-to-reduce-anxiety\/\">feeling anxious<\/a> about it and unsure about how to approach this subject, know that you&#8217;re not alone!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key is to know how to approach the subject with your partner. Here are a few tips to help you get started:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Have T<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Talk<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When introducing the idea of trying a sex toy together with your partner, consider framing it from the positive, adventurous side rather than a criticism of your current sex life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will help your partner not feel as if they&#8217;re doing something wrong or as if their skills in the bed are not good enough. Try these conversation starters:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Babe, I love our sex life, and I want to make it even better&#8230; how do you feel about using a vibrator together?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;So, I have this sex fantasy that&#8217;s been on my mind lately&#8230; I imagine you tying me up and then using a dildo to fuck me.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;How do you feel about trying something new in the bedroom together? Like, a fun little adventure?&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When choosing when to have the conversation, consider the timing. If your partner is stressed, overwhelmed with work or life, or is simply tired after a long weekend with in-laws, it might not be the best time for this conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might think a good time to bring it up is during sex or right as you&#8217;re about to have sex, but that might not be such a good idea. Your partner might feel pressured at the moment to try it even if they&#8217;re not ready for it or need more time to think about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pick a time when you&#8217;re both relaxed and in a good mood. Do it outside the bedroom, so you have a safe, pressure-free space to discuss any details, address any concerns you both might have and come up with a game plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep an Open Mind<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s normal to feel nervous when trying something new. You might be feeling nervous, and your partner might be feeling the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solution? Honest communication!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be open with your partner about your feelings, and create a safe space for them to share any thoughts or anxieties they might have about trying sex toys together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoiding judgment, keeping an open and safe space, and being patient with each other will make this adventure much more fun and relaxing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make It Fun!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make the whole process fun by picking out the sex toy you want to use together. Schedule a whole date night around it. You can go into a sex toy shop in person, or if you&#8217;re more comfortable with ordering online, browse sex shops from the comfort of your sofa right next to your partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make a wishlist, a pros and cons list, and share your thoughts as you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/choosing-the-right-sex-toy\/\" rel=\"noopener\">decide on the sex toy<\/a>. This whole process can be a great way to build anticipation and tension, leading to the culmination when you get to try the sex toy together.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Types of Sex Toys for Couples and How To Use Them<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;ve covered the benefits of using sex toys as a couple and how to approach the conversation if this is the first time doing it with your partner.

So, how does it work?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, C-rings are designed to restrict the blood flow to the penis, which makes the erection stronger, harder, and, most often, last longer. If you use a vibrating cock ring like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/tor-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TOR 3<\/a>, then not only do you have better erections, but you add extra pleasurable sensations for both partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/tor-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-44219 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LELO_TOR-2.2_Product_GREEN-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LELO_TOR-2.2_Product_GREEN-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LELO_TOR-2.2_Product_GREEN-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LELO_TOR-2.2_Product_GREEN-240x240.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LELO_TOR-2.2_Product_GREEN-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LELO_TOR-2.2_Product_GREEN-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LELO_TOR-2.2_Product_GREEN-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LELO_TOR-2.2_Product_GREEN.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When using C-rings, be mindful about how long you keep them on. Wear it for no longer than 20 minutes at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Putting it on is easier than you think! Apply a generous amount of lube on the semi-hard penis and on the inside of the cock ring. Then, slide it on the penis. You can fit it at the base above the balls or loop the C-ring to sit behind the balls if you want more restriction and to stimulate the perineum area.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strap-Ons and Harnesses<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strap-ons and harnesses might look intimidating, but they don&#8217;t have to be. It&#8217;s a very common sex toy many lesbian couples enjoy to have penetrative sex and engage in a form of powerplay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, heterosexual couples also can use them, and pegging has been gaining popularity in recent years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exploring the reverse roles in heterosexual relationships can be fun. If you have this fantasy, whether at the top or the bottom of the relationship, know that you&#8217;re not alone, and it&#8217;s definitely normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When choosing the harness, always make sure it fits comfortably and doesn&#8217;t sit wrong or dig into your skin in any uncomfortable way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, consider one that accommodates different attachments so you can play around with different sizes.

When choosing cuffs, avoid the traditional metal ones. Instead, opt for something leather or velcro that&#8217;s softer on the skin.

After you have the conversation with your partner about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/ensuring-consent-in-bdsm-tc\/\">boundaries<\/a>, make sure you have your safe word and establish rules for communication.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with one thing at a time. It&#8217;ll prevent you from getting overstimulated. Besides, there&#8217;s a learning curve for some of these tools, and you may want to learn one new thing at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to restraints like cuffs, introducing them is pretty easy. Next time you have intercourse, restrain your partner&#8217;s hands above their head with your hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s the very basic restraint trick. If you both are into it, next time, try it with the cuffs and see how that feels.

If you&#8217;re busy with ten things on your to-do list, stressed about work, or tired from spending a weekend away with family, chances are you won&#8217;t be in the mood to try a new sex toy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same goes for your partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, before you experiment with new sex toys, spend some time unwinding and getting into the right mindset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">De-stress and relax with some quiet alone time or a nice bath or a shower. Clean up and dress up if you feel like it. Meditate, listen to your favorite music, or go do a workout that energizes you or helps you unwind, like yoga. Go for a walk to clear your head.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do whatever helps you get into a calm state of mind.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, be mindful of your partner and how they&#8217;re feeling. Don&#8217;t push your partner if they&#8217;re not feeling it. Find out how you can help them get into the right headspace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe help them with their side of chores or create a safe space for them to vent about something that stressed them out. Take them out for a walk, a coffee, or a nice dinner for just the two of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take it slow, get into the right set of mind, and focus on fostering the connection between the two of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/communication-as-a-tool-for-better-sex\/\">Communication<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/consent\/\">Consent<\/a>: Keys To Enjoyable Exploration<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the right sex toy and setting an ambiance to romance with your partner is not enough.

However, it might not be the safest option for your health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When choosing a couple&#8217;s toy to use, you want to make sure it&#8217;s body-safe and made from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-right-material-for-sex-toy\/\" rel=\"noopener\">premium materials<\/a> for the best experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to vibrators, always make sure you buy ones that are made from body-safe, medical, or premium-grade silicone. This ensures the toy won&#8217;t carry harmful bacteria which may cause infections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other safe materials are stainless steel or borosilicate glass. These materials are durable and of high quality and feel great without putting your health at risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid any sex toys that don&#8217;t specify what type of materials they use or toys made from hard plastic and weird-jelly like materials that are often porous and impossible to disinfect fully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-45317 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/best-sex-toys-by-category.png\" alt=\"best couples toys\" width=\"850\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/best-sex-toys-by-category.png 850w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/best-sex-toys-by-category-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/best-sex-toys-by-category-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/best-sex-toys-by-category-770x385.png 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning and Maintenance Tips<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you pick out a high-quality sex toy, it&#8217;s important to care for it properly, too. What does that mean exactly?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, first of all, you want to make sure you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/how-to-clean-different-types-of-sex-toys-tc\/\" rel=\"noopener\">cleaning your sex toys properly<\/a> before and after each use. You can use a special sex toy cleaner or warm water with soap, whatever works for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allow the toys to fully dry before storing them away from direct sunlight. It&#8217;s best to keep them in separate satin pouches to avoid sex toys touching and collecting dust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most silicone (non-vibrating), stainless steel, and borosilicate glass toys are safe to disinfect in boiling water, but it&#8217;s not a must.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, we recommend using lubes with your sex toys to avoid discomfort and make the experience as pleasurable as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But before you use a lube, make sure you choose the right one for your sex toys! Water-based lubes are always the safest option as they clean off easily, don&#8217;t leave residue, and won&#8217;t change the texture of your sex toys.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using sex toys as a couple has many benefits: it helps bridge the orgasm gap, enhances pleasure, improves sexual satisfaction, can improve sexual desire and physical arousal, and is an easy way to introduce novelty into your relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wanting to use sex toys during partnered play is not a sign that there is something wrong with your relationship or sex life. It&#8217;s a fun and sexy way to try something new with your partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s normal to feel nervous and uncertain before trying something for the first time. So, don&#8217;t put too much pressure on yourself or your partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take your time, have as many conversations beforehand as you need to feel good about your decision, make the process of choosing the sex toy fun and exciting, and ensure you&#8217;re both comfortable throughout the whole experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you&#8217;re ready to explore, discover a couple of vibrators to try and have fun with!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Enjoy 15% off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LELO.com<\/a> with code <span style=\"color: #800080;\">VOLONTE15<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite the rapidly growing sex toy market, how to use sex toys for couples can still be a mystery for some.
