When done correctly, combining sex toys can unlock new levels of intimacy and address various sexual needs. Discover our expert tips for using multiple sex toys safely and effectively.
Why Use More Than One Toy?
Pairing sex toys can be beneficial for a multitude of reasons – enhancing pleasure through combined stimulation, customizing experiences based on personal preferences, or exploring new types of masturbation or partnered sex.
Safety Considerations
Keep these considerations in mind when using more than one sex toy:
- Hygiene – Make it a habit to clean each sex toy after each use to ensure that bacteria stays at bay and doesn’t travel between toys, especially when sharing with a partner.
- Materials – Be careful when mixing certain toy materials together (porous with non-porous, silicone with silicone lubricant, jelly toys with any other materials) because their chemical makeups can degrade one another. Your best bet is using toys from the same brand.
- Physical limitations – Remember that your body has its limits and you should always stay intuitively aware about your pleasure. Avoid overstimulation by starting slow and gradually increasing your preferred features/stimulation types.
- Lubrication – Incorporate body-safe lube into your sexual repertoire regardless of the activity. Lubricant reduces friction, improves comfort and supports safe sex toy use.
Recommended Toy Pairings
For Clitoral and G-Spot Stimulation: Vibrators and Dildos
While using a vibrator to stimulate the vulva and clitoris, insert a dildo to target the G-Spot located on the front side of the vaginal canal about 2 inches in. To find the G-Spot, insert your fingers and feel for the “spongy” part of the vaginal wall that feels pleasurable.
For Dual Stimulation: Rabbit Vibrators and Anal Plugs
Rabbits are great dual stimulation vibrators at providing internal and external stimulation through vibration. Insert a butt plug for added pressure on the anus while using your rabbit. Try hands-free positions, like wedging the rabbit between pillows for cowgirl position, or doggy position with self insertion. New positions can offer new perspectives on pleasure.
For Partner Play: Remote-Controlled Toys and Penis Rings
Bring mutual masturbation to a whole new level by controlling one another’ s toys. Look for couples’ vibrators, bullet vibrators and prostate massagers with remotes that give your partner total control of your vibration patterns and intensities. Penis rings also offer wearable pleasure that enhances erections.
For Sensory Exploration: Vibrators and Temperature Play Tools
Whether you’re interested in light BDSM or simply looking to incorporate new sensations, temperature play sex toys can add hot or cold feelings that heighten touch and feel. Most options are either glass, metal or silicone toys that add warmth electronically. Pair these new sensations with a classic vibrator for a mix that’s familiar and foreign in the best ways possible.
How To Introduce Multiple Toys into Your Routine
How to use more than one sex toy:
- If planning to use multiple toys for partnered play, have a conversation outside of an intimate setting to ensure that everyone is willing to try it.
- Decide on the two types of stimulation you’d like to explore and what toys you have that offer them.

- Follow multiple sex toys safety by ensuring that all toys are clean before use.

- Remember, making orgasm a hard goal can actually hinder you from reaching it by putting added pressure onto an experience that should be fun and explorative.
- Once you decide you’re done, clean all toys and store them in a place where they can remain dust-free.
