What counts as a couples sex toy?

Couples sex toys are toys designed for use during shared sex rather than solo play. They fit around bodies without getting in the way and often include shared controls via a remote or app.

What is the best first sex toy for a couple to try?

A vibrating cock ring or a wearable couples vibrator is usually the most approachable starting point. Both add stimulation during penetrative sex without replacing anything, and both are widely available as rechargeable silicone models.

Are app controlled sex toys safe to use?

Toys from established brands use encrypted Bluetooth or internet connections and are safe to use. The main practical risk is flat batteries. Avoid cheap unbranded imports where security and material safety are harder to verify.

Do you ship couples sex toys discreetly in the UK?

Yes. Every order from The Loving Company ships in plain packaging with no adult branding, sender name on the label, or suggestive labelling on the parcel.

Can couples use a single toy designed for solo use?

Yes. Many solo toys (wands, bullets, clit suckers) work perfectly well during partnered sex. Products specifically marketed as couples toys are just optimised for that use case with wearable shapes and shared controls.

Couples Sex Toys UK — The Best Toys for Two

Buying a toy as a couple is different from buying one for yourself. The question changes from “what do I like?” to “what do we both enjoy, and how does it fit into the sex we are already having?” The good news is that the options are wider, more interesting, and often less intimidating than they first appear. Nothing here requires a PhD, a spare room, or a difficult conversation. Just a bit of curiosity and the willingness to try something new together.

This page is a starting point for couples buying their first shared toy, for long term partners shaking up a routine, and for anyone trying to figure out where to begin.

What Actually Counts as a Couples Toy?

Technically any toy can be used by two people. In practice, “couples sex toys” tends to mean toys designed to be used during shared sex rather than during solo play. They fit around bodies, add sensation without getting in the way, and usually include some form of shared control. That might be a remote, an app, or just the physical act of one partner operating it while the other relaxes.

Couples Vibrators

Our couples vibrators are shaped for use during penetrative sex. The typical design sits against the clitoris while also providing internal stimulation, meaning both partners feel it. Brands like We-Vibe have become genuinely clever here. Many models are wearable during intercourse and rechargeable, so they never run out of battery halfway through something enjoyable.

Cock Rings

Cock rings are one of the more underrated entries in this category. They maintain firmer erections, can prolong sex noticeably, and many vibrating versions include a clitoral bullet on the underside, so she gets stimulation exactly where it counts during penetration. A rechargeable silicone vibrating ring is a sensible first purchase if you are not sure where to start.

Remote and App Controlled Toys

Remote and app controlled vibrators have turned into one of the most popular couples categories in the last few years. The appeal is simple. Handing a partner the controls creates a small, fun power exchange without needing to negotiate anything complicated. App controlled toys also work across distances, which is a genuine bonus for couples separated by work or geography.

Clit Suckers During Sex

Modern clit suckers, the suction and air pulse toys, deliver a very specific sensation that most people either love immediately or want to retry a few times. Used during sex they work well as a focused add-on rather than the main event. Compact models slot into a drawer by the bed and require essentially no setup.

Strap-Ons and Mutual Toys

Strap-ons are no longer only for one specific demographic. Plenty of mixed-gender couples use them, and the range of harness styles now available makes fit considerably less fiddly than it used to be. Double ended dildos are another genuinely mutual option that sits outside the usual categories.

Date Night Extras

Vibrating underwear and intimate games are good lower-commitment options for couples who want to try something new without leaping into bigger equipment. A remote controlled panty vibrator worn out to dinner is a particular favourite of customers who are technically adults but quite enjoy misbehaving. Bondage kits offer a complete starter bundle for curious couples with cuffs, blindfold, and a few gentle extras in one box.

A Quick Note on Lube

No page about couples toys is complete without mentioning lube. If you are using silicone toys, stick to water-based lubricant. If you are not, silicone lube lasts longer and feels different. Cheap supermarket lube is a false economy and tends to get sticky. Pay a little more once and the difference is immediate.

What We Believe In

Every toy we stock is body safe, clearly described, and from brands we have actually vetted. Every order ships in plain packaging with no adult branding, no suggestive labelling, and nothing your postman or neighbour will remember. That is how we think shopping for things like this should feel.
