Vibe Together: Why You Need a Couple’s Vibrator

Vibrators are firmly inserted into single culture and deserve their recognition too - they can deliver A-grade orgasms, help you to unwind, and even run you a bath (untrue). It’s no wonder vibes have claimed their place in solo sex lives around the globe, with accolades from cult TV shows (like Sex and the City with the rabbit) and celebrities releasing their own vibrators (like Lily Allen and Abbie Chatfield with their collabs). With the growing uptake of sex toys, vibrators now come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, speeds, patterns, and means of stimulation. It’s fair to say that, if vibrators were living things, they’d be celestial beings.

All this to say, vibrator love doesn’t have to stop with a partner. And for those in a relationship who haven’t used one before, good news: vibrator love can start with your lover.

What is a couple’s Vibrator?

Let’s not beat around the bush: any vibrator is a couple’s vibrator if you make it one. With an open mind, you can bring your other main squeeze into the mix to show your partner what you’re after or just as easily give them a turn on the tools.

But what are the best sex toys for couples?

There are vibrators purpose-built for use with a partner, but ultimately in the land of couple’s vibrators, versatility is key. From finger vibrators to vibrating cock rings to app-controlled wearables, there are so many buzzies out there to try with a partner. Without any further fuss, let’s take you through why you need a couple’s vibrator and our top picks.

A magic wand is great as a couple's toy. It’s super versatile for those who are new to using a couple’s vibrator. With the magic wand, you can focus on the clitoris, anus or perineum to add variety to your shared pleasure. Better still, if your partner is away, you can indulge in this one solo as well.

If you’re thinking something more subtle, finger vibrators are a great place to start for adding a couple’s vibrator to your sex life. This 20 function finger vibrator is perfect for sex toy beginners and ideal for partnered foreplay.

It’s true that great sex starts with good communication. In his We-Vibe blog, Dr. Robin Milhausen discussed the findings of a recent study looking at couple sex toy use. He shared that “men and women in our study talked about how using the sex toy increased intimacy, communication, and pleasure.” [1] Using your vibrator with a lover is a great way to show and tell, and add more pleasure for you both.

If you’re after a vibrator that you can use solo or with a partner, the Touch X Rechargeable Clitoral Vibrator from We-Vibe is a great all-rounder. Touch X is designed for clitoral pleasure, but its rumbly vibes feel fantastic on any erogenous zone. You can even lie on it, or share the vibes with your partner by nestling the Touch X between you during intimate play - winner!

The Lovense Lush 3 is a Luxury app controlled vibrator (aka a wearable love egg) for ecstasy-inducing shareable play. This couple’s toy is ideal for those in long-distance relationships and those who want to play from anywhere.

There are plenty of app-controlled and innovative couple’s vibrators out there from We-Vibe, Lovense and more, so have a squiz and see more of what we’re on about.

The We-Vibe Moxie is ideal for couples who dare to try some public play and even better for couples where one or both people have a disability. The vibrator clips onto your underwear with an accompanying app and remote, transforming your favourite pair of knickers into a vibrator for your partner to control. With the We-Vibe Moxie, you can vibe with your partner virtually and hands-free. Talk about breaking down barriers to pleasure!

According to sex therapist Erica Marchand, PhD, orgasms are an “involuntary release of sexual tension”, and to get closer to a mutual climax, “you have to be able to communicate what you do need - whether it’s oral sex, or manual stimulation, or a vibrator, or a longer amount of time… whatever it is.” [2].

If vibrators work for you on your own, then a versatile couple’s vibrator like the We-Vibe Chorus coupled with good communication could help you and your partner pop your cookies, simultaneously. The Chorus matches its vibration intensity to the strength of your grip, so it's completely in tune with you. Its internal arm thrums against the penis and G-spot during wear, while the external arm teases the clitoris. We can’t guarantee a mutual climax, but we can guarantee a wicked good time with your lover.

Go for it

It really is no wonder vibrators are a deity of masturbation. And there really are so many benefits to adding them to your partnered sex life. We say go for it!

If you’re not 100% on buying a couple’s vibrator, no problem. In the words of Albert Einstein, “Creativity is intelligence having fun”, and we, dear readers, know you are both intelligent and fun. So why not try getting creative with your favourite toy during your next partnered session - with their consent of course.

Run free, young rabbits, and enjoy!
