As the former editor of a magazine that had a lot to do with sex , I've tried many different vibrators in my day, all in the name of research: rabbits, bullets, big ones, small ones, vibes made of different materials in a variety of colors. I thought I was a jaded sex toy consumer, that is, until I heard about the We-Vibe Sync , which is marketed as a "couples vibrator. I tried hard to imagine what that actually meant: How exactly would we both use the vibrator? Online research revealed that the We-Vibe Sync is meant to be worn by the woman during sex—it strategically hits both the clitoris and G-spot. And while your partner is inside you, he can feel the vibrations, too. When a package came in the mail, I opened it to find a sleek box that looked similar to one that might hold a new iPhone.

Sex toys for couples can inspire you to switch up your routine, provide a jumping-off point for conversations about what you both like, and give you the chance to experience more pleasure. Not all sex toys for couples are created equal, though. They come in a wide variety of designs, from finger attachments to vaginal insert-ables, and different ones work better for different people's bodies. Some are designed for use during penetrative sex, while others are meant to be used with your hands.
