A diamond ring sounds nice, but you know what sounds better? A cock ring.

It’s mutually beneficial, a lot more affordable and doesn’t require subtext about commitment.

In fact, the very act of using a sex toy with your partner can improve communication in the relationship. It’s found over half of couples who purchase sex toys talk often about intimacy, compared to the 28 percent who do not. And what does effective communication lead to? Better sex and sexual confidence.

Of course, toys for couples aren’t limited to vibrators, though they are quite popular and pretty great. There are plenty of clever, innovative sex toys designed specifically for couples. And to save you the trouble of trying out a bunch of duds, we share 10 favorite couples sex toys, ones that are safe, easy to use, and, of course, lots of fun.

#2 LETEN Rechargeable Wand Massager Vibrator

The Magic Wand was originally created to relieve tension and relax sore muscles, but quickly made its way down south and became recognized as a sex toy in the 1960s.

The Magic Wand has always been at the top of the heap, and while many think of it primarily as an excellent vibrator for solo play (and it is!), many couples also use it together.

The LETEN Wand Rechargeable improves on the classic model, featuring a variety of powerful, penetrating vibrations with multiple patterns and intensities to please men and women alike. Plus, it’s cordless, so you can take the wand just about anywhere to relieve tension … wherever it may be.

#4 2-in-1 Rechargeable Vibrating Cock Ring

The Cock Ring is simple. Just slide the two stretchy rings over your package and activate the vibrations to simultaneously stimulate the clitoris and testes.

Cock rings are one of the first toys couples tend to try. They can help boost size, hardness and stamina through reduction of bloodflow out of the penis, and the added vibrations stimulate your partner during sex. The best positions for cock rings have freedom of movement, but you and your partner's bodies can be pressed close together so you can adjust the level of contact you have with the vibrations.

#9 Vagina Exercise Ben Wa Balls Set

This one may seem like it’s just for the ladies, but we consider it more of a male-female win-win. Kegel balls work to strengthen the vaginal muscles of the pelvic floor, creating tighter muscles and more control that both women and their partners will notice in the bedroom. Kegel balls can also be incorporated into foreplay and sex, and can be inserted for up to 6 hours.
