Okay, you and your partner have both decided to introduce a sex toy to your relationship. You’ve heard so many good things about these naughty little gadgets, you’ve finally realised it’s time to start trying them. Once you have decided to experiment with sex toys you are already on the exciting road to better sex. The next step is choosing the right sex toys for you to use as a couple.

Why Do Couples Use Sex Toys?

Sex toys can benefit your relationship in so many ways, the key to a happy sex life is one that is enriched with variety, excitement and communication; sex toys help you achieve all of those things. Below are a few ways sex toys make your sex life better:

    • Sex toys add variety and spice into a bedroom routine that has become boring. Sex toys help people (especially women) achieve more intense orgasms more frequently..erm yes, please.
    • Sex toys encourage you to become more open and adventurous in your sex life. Sex toys help you and your partner engage in longer, more intense foreplay.
    • Sex toys take the pressure off you and your partner to perform exceptionally between the sheets.

How To Chose The Right Sex Toy For Your Relationship?

There is a huge selection of products to choose from on the sex toy market, toys that vibrate, toys that penetrate, toys for different holes and even toys that make moaning noises. So, finding the right sex toy for your relationship can be a tricky task for beginners. The most important step is discussing with your partner what toys turn you on and what toys turn you off. Are you looking for something big or small? A toy for solo pleasure or one you can get simultaneous pleasure from together? Sit down with your partner and scroll through the hundreds of sex toys on our website to discover each other’s preferences. Or, come into one of our many stores across the UK where you can see, feel and touch the toys for yourself.

If one, or both of you are new to sex toys and aren’t yet masters of how to use them correctly then always start off small and stay away from larger sex toys. Trying to run before you can walk in the world of large sex toys could leave you so you can’t walk at all.. for the next week at least. Starting of with small sex toys will ease both of your bodies into sex toys in a pleasurable way. Going straight for the stallion dildos may cause physical pain and put you off sex toys for life!

The Best Beginner Sex Toys for Couples

To help you get started on your road to sex toy discovery we have put together a collection of our favourite sex toys for first-timers:

The best beginner couples sex toys for her

The Bullet

pink mini bullet vibrator

Pink Mini Vibrator Bullet: This small and stylish bullet is perfect for beginners just discovering the joys of adult toys!

Or try:

The My Toy Rechargeable Bullet: Try the my toy bullet for an extremely powerful and durable bullet that is a worthy investment into your sex life. Built to last this rechargeable silicone beauty will have you buzzing for many months to come.

Non-threatening, pocket-size, simple to use and more versatile than it looks. Predominantly vibrating bullets are used for clitoral/vaginal (external) stimulation but we see no reason why you can’t use it to tease the nipples, inner thighs or anywhere else that instinctively feels right. Bullets are also unisex, the amount of men who are discovering the joys of applying a dash of lubricant to their manhood and gliding the bullet up and down their shaft is on the increase, big time!

Remote Control Love Egg 

Groove Touch Mini Love Egg: This wireless remote control love egg offers 12 speeds of vibration and is the perfect power play tool for first-time sex toy couples.

Pocket-sized, powerful and playful; remote control love eggs are perfect toys to help you and your partner get kinky in the bedroom. Using a love egg with a wireless remote allows one partner to be pleasured while the other holds all the control with the remote in their hands (naughty and we love it). These versatile magic eggs can be used for both internal and external stimulation of the vagina, clitoris, or any other areas on the body you desire to run it along. There is no reason men can’t get enjoyment out of love eggs too. Try running one of these beauties along his gooch and around the rim of his anus to blow his mind…

Small Rabbit Vibrators

Small Pleasure Rabbit Vibrator: This dinky little rabbit is not too big to intimidate a first-timer, whilst still packing a lot of oomph in the power department.

Similar to the bullet, small rabbit vibrators are petite in size, non-intimidating, easy on the eye and also easy to operate. Where the rabbit differs from the bullet is it can be used for both external and internal vaginal stimulation. Simply slip the phallic-shaped end inside the vagina and use the rabbit ears to stimulate the clitoris. Trust us you will be experiencing earth-shattering orgasms. If you are wanting to pleasure the G-spot go for a vibrator with a curved bendy shaft so it can more easily stroke that sweet spot.

The best beginner couples sex toy for him

Anal Butt Plug

Vibrating Mini Butt Plug: This teenie weenie anal butt plug is perfect for first-timers wanting to embark on an anal adventure. Let your partner take hold of the remote control to experiment with power-play.

Unearth new sensations you never thought possible with an anal butt plug. For men using an anal butt plug or prostate massager can help them stroke that elusive male P.spot. The P.spot refers to the prostate and is basically the male equivalent of the female G.spot. Once activated this spot provides orgasmic pleasure. Although ladies don’t have a prostate they can enjoy butt plugs too, anal exploration is fun for everyone involved no matter what gender. Try using this small butt plug during foreplay to get you both excited and aroused for the big finale.  Always start off small with any anal toys and work your way up to bigger things (if you chose). They say great things come in small packages and with butt plugs that is most definitely true. We recommend using our anal lubricant with a special relaxant in to help your bottom relax into play.

The best beginner couples sex toys for dual pleasure

oh ring vibrating cock ring

Cock Ring

The Oh Ring, Rechargeable Vibrating Love Ring: This powerful cock ring made from high-quality silicone is an ideal sex toy for couples to start with.

Sometimes referred to as a ‘love ring’, regardless of what you call it the man wears this little device on his penis at the base of the shaft. Once erect, it should be slid to the base of the penis (please use lubricant, we cannot stress that enough). It should be tight, but not uncomfortable.

The main function of a cock ring is to prevent blood from leaving his penis so he not only lasts longer but his erection will be slightly bigger, girthier and juicier than normal (the way it is when he’s really got a throb-on … apologies, we couldn’t think of any other way to describe it).

The benefits don’t stop there. A lot of cock rings now vibrate so when the man is wearing it and things are in full flow the ring vibrates against the other person’s intimate area, sending intense “oh my” rumblings where they desire them most. Some cock rings come with a removable bullet, great if you’re thinking of investing in a vibrating bullet as it becomes a 2-in-1.

Warning: if the bullet is not designed to be removed, do not remove it. This will only result in you breaking a perfectly good toy.
